Stylish Blogger Award

Natalie from Diary of a Girl Abroad has graciously nominated fifteen bloggers (me being one of them) for the Stylish Blogger Award.  Thank you Natalie! With this award, I'm required to share seven things about myself, so... 1) I'm shy.  Everyone I know has always described me as quiet.  That's why I love writing! 2) Some of...

Feast your eyes on this...

That's right.  For Christmas, one of the things I got was a $100 gift card to Holt Renfrew.  Not enough to get me anything on my wishlist, but it's enough to get me something!  Enough talk!  I'm going shopping!! Update: Whoops!  Just realized one of my photos doesn't work.  Anyway, I had a great time shopping yesterday,...

Christmas Wish List

As much as everyone will tell you that Christmas is not about receiving presents, I must admit that as a fashion lover, there are bound to be a couple of things on my wish list.  I don't have specific items that I want, but rather general pieces.  How materialistic of me, I know!  But spare me... 1) A leather jacket.  I've been...

Shoeaholic

I just received an amazing Christmas present yesterday: a pair of Aldo Giombetti gladiator sandals.  Technically, it's not really a present because it's actually a hand-me-down from my friend, but she has only worn it once, and the shoe is in pristine condition. I also received a pair of gold Tory Burch flip-flops, in somewhat less of a pristine...

Chanel Eye Candy

I'm skipping a model feature for today, but for the ladies out there, I doubt you'll blame me!  I just had time to watch Chanel's Pre-Fall 2011 collection (which was amazing), and I'm assuming many other fashion bloggers have already covered the collection for you, so I'm not going to focus on the collection this time.  I will, however, dedicate...

Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2011

With my recent discovery of Monique Lhuillier, she has become a permanent on my list of "Designers to Follow".  So when I saw that she had presented her Pre-Fall 2011 collection, I just couldn't resist drooling over more of her fabulous gowns. Lhuillier is not particularly famous for her daywear, but that doesn't mean her daywear isn't just as...
