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
- RIHANNA Ft. CALVIN HARRIS - WE FOUND LOVE


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?  ;)

Transition to fall

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray...
I've been on a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day...

The evenings are getting chilly and it is time to start layering and switching your wardrobe over into fall.  I love in between seasons it is when you get to play around the most!  Mix and match a summer skirt with a fall cardigan, boots, or a long jacket, or some long pants with a sheer tank or blouse.   Layer sweaters over dresses, and feel free to wear footwear of all kinds.


I've hit the runways to update you on some of the latest fall trends - photos from Style.com
