Fall-ing in love

Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive

It's the way I’m feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Two jobs and school again, it must be fall!
Some of my friends have been celebrating their birthdays at my club and I always make sure they get special treatment and have a great time.  Here are a few photos from the birthday celebrations!
Last weekend was pink-themed; we hosted an event to support breast cancer research.

Always good times!
I love planning events but I hope to move out of the club industry soon.
I would love to participate in fashion shows behind the scenes!


The launch of Versace for H&M is on November 19th, this is an event that I will be waiting in line for here in Toronto.  Here is a small preview of what to expect...

I know I have not been updating much but I have been catching the spring shows and I have selected a few of my favourite designs to share with you.  There will be more soon, and I am craving an outdoor photo shoot with the leaves, they are such pretty colours right now.  Happy thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians this weekend!

Burberry hopped on the pattern-wagon this season and uses lots of ruched and feminine detailing for spring.  

Isabel Marant has perfectly embellished garments that are both practical and elegant with a touch of grunge.

Emilio Pucci uses lace and his signature textured patterns and rich colours.  This season, there is more of a digital psychedelic approach to his design showcase.

I love Chanel this spring, so simple and classic with whites & creams and an array of structured elegance.

Other trends for spring:
Mint, cotton candy pink, triangles, cropping and layering, longer skirts, sheer, shine & lace, gold & studs, embellishments


Stay warm my loves!
Any plans for Halloween?  ;)

You can't look at a cupcake without smiling

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat .. drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost ...
And what you had ...
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing

It snowed again here today and I am not happy.

NOT HAPPY.

Here is something to cheer myself (and hopefully you) up.  To be honest, anything pink almost always cheers me up.

Chanel cupcakes from Cupcakes Nouveau.  

Too pretty to eat.

Mother nature, are you there?  It's me, Veronica.  CHILL WITH THE SNOW.  BRING ME SOME SUNSHINE AND WARMTH.  Thanks so much.

On the bright side I had an awesome weekend I got to spend some time with a girlfriend I had not seen for a while.  It was recently my best friend's birthday, so we had a party at her house last night then went to some shoebox club upstairs on top of a pub and had a blast there as well.  I took a bunch of pictures but you only get to see one for now because I am waiting for my friend to upload some that she took so that I can post all of them for you guys.

I start a new job tomorrow!  So excited it should be amazing!  Details soon.

I recently bought two pairs of black pumps because I need to wear heels while I am working, the girls at my work dress so cute, I can't wait to show you guys!  I also bought some accessories to spice up the plain black.

I needed something to do to avoid studying for my exam tomorrow so I made a shopping list of just a few items I would love to purchase in the upcoming future.  The Miu Miu baithingsuit is amazing!  I love the colour, the shape, and the little white bow accent.  Perfect for me but I don't know if I would like the tan lines.  Oh summer, please come faster!

Isabel Marant spring 2011

I love this outfit!  It is chic and casual, with just the right amount of colour for me.  I love her entire spring line it is to die for!

Out with some girlfriends!  More pictures will be up soon, my outfit has two cut-out mesh sides that I am thinking about removing from the dress so that skin will be showing there.  You will see what I mean soon!

Exam tomorrow as well (of course I am procrastinating by doing this blog) but it is a blessing in disguise that my friend has an exam tomorrow too, and she's much better at actually studying so she hasn't put her pictures up yet.  Otherwise I would be on here for much longer and posting way more pictures!

Back to the books!

Happy Monday everybody!

Is anyone interested in a link exchange?  I want to see some new blogs!  Give me your links :)

Fashion Week / Haute Couture

Fashion week almost everywhere has wrapped up, let's look at some of the highlights...
Everyone loves to oggle haute couture. Well, I do anyways. Just wanted to take this opportunity to remark on a particular moral that is often ignored in the fashion industry: the philosophy of modeling is that the designer wants the product to appear on the model as it would appear on a hanger. This means that skinny is not necessarily glamorous OFF the runway, or sexually appealing, but is necessary in order to depict the garments accurately. Now for some pictures!



Spring 2010
Dolce and Gabbana, Italy
Absolutely adore the two on the far left. The white tube top is feminine and delicate, and I love the way the neutrals work together. The boots are Western and fabulous, and the frills are prominent without being over-kill. The far right could do without the pants? I'd go with a light denim skinny jean to math the outfit.


Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2010
Italy
Black, white, and lace are all trade marks of Dolce and Gabbana. Flawless and simple. Strong shoulders without being too masculine. The femininity of the material really balances out the masculinity of the form.


Isabel Marant Spring 2010
Paris
This top is snow white and again the tie at the bottom right corner offsets the masculin shape. The shiny black mini is perfectly balanced with the loose armed, flowy top. The shoes are absolutely gorgeous.


Celine Spring 2010
Paris
This bright coloured dress has asymetrical centered design that is funky and 80's. The Western, frayed boots at a glance appear to clash but adds a more urban, funky feel to this otherwise chic, retro dress.


Burberry Fall 2009
Milan, Italy
Sophisticated and fabulous! Oversized sweaters and shirts are in, but usually not done together. I love the neutrals and the leggings and boots are the best part of the outfit.


Dsquared2, a CANADIAN design duo, Dean and Dan Caten, Fall 2009
Milan, Italy
Retro and glamorous, this outfit has so much going on including an urban Starbucks cup to add to the city feel. The metallic heels take the look from slouchy to pulled-together.
