So this weekend my boyfriend and I went to Seattle for the long weekend once again. It was only a month before that we'd gone but I needed to start on my xmas shopping and finding a dress for the back-to-back holiday office parties lined up in the beginning of December.
Unfortunately I was unable to accomplish the tasks I had set up for myself, but did find some amazing deals for what I call 'fall/winter essentials' !
Check out my mini haul after the jump...

Rain, Rain go away..
Fall is fast approaching and kiddies are groaning and moaning about back to school...I am superly excited cause the fall weather gets me so happy! Of course the rain is not far behind as always. It's even more evident when we get days like today, when the clouds are taking over the last of our sunny summer days.
Days like these make me think of rain--the muddy, crappy rainy weather that makes me feel like staying home! lol. One way to make rain seem like not such a bad thing? Rain boots!
The front runners? Burberry of course!
I thought about getting their signature tartan pattern, but opted for something more simple and less flashy.

Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear: Loves it.
The world of fashion moves two steps ahead of the normal world, and anticipates the ever-changing trends of the public. I always get excited about fall during summer and thus, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the sneak peak of Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection. I had my eye on one designer in particular, Chloe.
For those that know me well, I rarely spend my hard earned $$$ on the designer clothing. I much rather invest in another lux, handbags. Ever so often, however, I do venture to the designers to get ideas on the upcoming season and what looks good and what may not.
Chloe
Under the hands of what style.com has mentioned to be the first female designer at the Fashion house of Chloe since Phoebe Philo, Hannah Macgibbon shows her take on the Chloe Fashion 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection. Exciting! Finally! A woman back to take the healm. Mind you, she was also a protege of Ms. Philo, who I believe has her own line now (must put on the list to check out!).
So her colour of choice was quite obvious from the first few photos of the Runaway show in Paris. Lots of neutrals, beige and camel tones. In fact, one of the most recognizable pieces she has which I've seen so far in two mags, is the Jumpsuit--one being in the Fall preview section of the July 2010 of Harper's worn by Cameron Diaz.
I love that this colour is once again the dominant colour for fall. It's fresh and chic, casual but yet dressy. As style.com desribes it, it's 'grown up' and a new take on the fashion house and it's old flirty, feminine style. The mens wear inspired looks are just gorgeous.

uncovering the shades.
It's been non-stop day after day of beautiful weather here in Vancity, and I thought since it is summer and the sun is going strong daily that I'd blog about sunglasses!
Popularized around the 1940s when it wasn't only cool to have them to guard yourself from the prying eyes if you're a celebrity, it became more important to guard damage against the eyes. There are tons of choices and and name brands, its virtually impossible to not own at least one pair!
Those who know me well know that I am attached to my Chanel sunglasses. I love the shape--it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and the lenses are big enough to cover my eyes and not let the rays through...They have helped me shade my emotions on the most difficult of days in the Philippines and have shaded my eyes from the intense rays at Lonsdale Quay on a sunny afternoon.
How does one choose a pair? Does it even matter what brand or if one buys a pair from the cheap stores? Why invest in a pair like Oakleys or Ray ban?
Good question!
