BEBE luv

beats::  hmm..something by nikki minaj and young money crew!?

OOTD:: jammy jams =)

fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: jammies

I swore to myself I'd try to sleep early tonight, but alas it's not to be i guess...frustrating!

What do I do when I can't sleep!? I blog =)

Okay, so here are my few fave skirts both recent purchases and not...I have a love affair with minis and high waisted skirts...here are my recent closet finds..hopefully I'll find more and post them as well!


White tube top: Le Chateau; White Layered Skirt: BEBE

White Top: Le Chateau; Black & White Skirt: BEBE


Black Tube Top: BEBE; White Layered Skirt: BEBE


Black Tube Top: BEBE; Silver High Waisted Skirt: Le Chateau

Okay, so along with my mild obsession with skirts, I also have a deep luv for black and white (hence my love for all things Classic Chanel).  I find that you are never out of style when going with the classic, crisp colour of black and white.  Don't get me wrong, I do have pops of colour in my wardrobe once in awhile =)

It's approaching summer, and contrary to the weather, it's coming in less than 20 days.  The mini skirts come in handy for night time galavanting in the city with the girlfriends or a hot date with hun.  It's sexy and gives off a sense of clean lines and freshness =)

Happy Spring!~*

(Fashion) Love in the club~*

beats:: nothing...it's commercials lol.

OOTD::

fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: umm..my laptop!?



Show and tell time!

lol...This was a pic from a recent 'Girls' night Out' jaunt at Pop Opera Nightclub with Jack. 

Jack Daniels that is...and apple juice!

It really is a party when Jack is around! haha..

Anyways...

I'm the one in the center of the pic.  I'm pretty pround of this outfit, very simple (since I couldn't find a top) but I went for my safety outift and just wore a Black sequined mini skirt (which you can't quite tell from this pic) and a white racerback.

luvs it.

To the right is my cuz...Luvs her! She's wearin' a Le Chateau tunic...tres cute! A tunic is a great alternative to a binding dress one may not want to wear to a club or lounge.  It's more form fitting and figure flattering, not to mention it allows you to skip over the time-consuming matching a top to a bottom situation! lol...Luvin' the green hues...so spring-esque! lol..way to bring on the trend cuz..

To my left is our party friend, neesh.  Being the cute urban party chick she is, comfort is number one in her book when she's partying.  Afterall, you have to be comfy bustin a move on the dancefloor!! She kinda of reminds me of a more stylish MIA (umm the rapper just in case you didn't know lol)...Luv the outfit, chic party look! White tank, black vest and shorts, and of course, on a rainy day, tights and in my mind, her ultimate topping on the cake accessory, her super cute high tops!!! =) (gaaw I hope she doesn't kill me for dissecting her outfit! its so cute i couldn't resist! haha)

Personally, I love to get all dolled up for a party...It gives me an excuse to get all pampered up for an event...I feel like cinderella for the night! (or day, depending! lol).  I think every girl no matter how simple or tomboy-ish wants to feel special and dolled up at some point!~*

BCBG...from minis to maxis, and everything else in between!

beats:: already gone - kelly clarkson

OOTD:: Black racerback tanktop, Hot pink H&M Cardi and Black Zara Pants.

fave fashion accessory of the day/moment::

Happy Tuesday!

What a lovely day today, and it's only going to get better as the days get closer to summertime!  What a time to behold....All the springtime fashions are full on, and summer collection is out in almost full force!

I was at BCBG over the weekend on Robson, (and more frequently lately) admiring their sexy, trendy springtime fashions.  I mostly eyed the bandage skirts and dresses which I favour nowadays.  love love loves it tons! I've always bought Marciano when it came to the sweater dresses and bandage style dresses, but obviously nothing beats Max Azria (who now owns Herve Leger!).

The prices are up the charts, but you get what you pay for when you come into BCBG!

I've recently checked out their online US website...Here are a few things that have caught my eye recently!

Bandage Mini Skirts...




Sexy aren't they?  Minis galore! My heart flutters....It has as much of the signature second-skin type feel of the orginal Herve Leger Bandage dress without actually showing what's underneath.  I am absolutely inlove with the flattering look of these skirts!  It's all the rage, with the tye-dye effects, the stripes and solid colours....It's positively perfect for spring and summertime fashion, in fact, I'd say it's a must!

The Maxi Dress...


From chevron strips, prints and ombre effects, this season's Maxi dresses are anything but boring! They are max'd out in stylishness that one can't resist to get into the season's trend!  I love that Max Azria has the most whimsical prints and the brightest of colours to give the typical dress a more exciting spin.  It's so lady-like and so chic that even I can't resist! Loves it! 

Bags...



The first one is pretty much the price equivalent of the famous Coach hobo that I found awhile back, real leather and all.  Now, I'm torn between the two considering this mustard hue'd bag is just a tad pricier but quite chic!  It's really upto preference.  For night time dates and such, the clutch is the perfect accessory topper to any outfit! I absolutely love white, so one white clutch is a must for me! There is also nothing wrong, however, with creating a dramatic contrast for an outfit with a pop of colour such s a cute red satin clutch! pure LOVE.

That's it for now for BCBG and my mini field trip!

Hope that you have enjoyed checkin out BCBG's spring line as much as I did!~*

enjoy the sunshine!

The 'mini' season...rockin' it and lovin' it!

beats:: Calvin Harris - Ready for the weekend.

OOTD:: Casual Fridays! *woohoo!* Black Sirens Tanktop, Sirens White Jeans & Black Wilfred shawl.

fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: Chanel Sunglasses baby!!! let the sunshine in!!!!=)

Lovin' the sunshine on this gorgeous friday...Happy Friday lovelies!~*

It's been so gorgeous the past couple of days that it's hard to believe its only spring...I mean except for the crazy freakish winds once in awhile and the colder breeze during night time lol.  I've been sporting more and more of my spring warm fashions in hopes of encouraging more sunny days!

I've noticed my sudden obsession with mini skirts, having avoided it since my early 20s.  After hitting my mid 20s, I've sort of had this stigma associated with the mini as being abit tacky.  I know, so critical of me! lol. 

I could never had been more wrong!

In the last few months, I've collected a cornucopia of minis!  They range (as per my previous entry) from $15-$60.  I've always inter-mixed cheap with the pricier brands to keep my budget in tact.  Afterall, well-rounded shoppers know that a well-known brand isn't always the best route, and some cheap knock-offs aren't the greatest quality.

The lower price point skirts, I found at Costa Blanca & Urban Behaviour.

The Higher price point minis, Like the ones from BEBE and Bedo are more of my 'fashion investments'.  Though don't get me wrong, even at their higher price points, neither skirt are more than $60 CDN!! They may be higher priced, but they don't break the bank!

I think that with certain trends, its important to realize that some do come back in fashion eventually, but others remain in the past, and therefore before spending a crazy amount of money on something that may only be around for a season, think if it will actually transition into a classical piece that can be integrated into a basic wear or with the regular wardrobe you already have.

Do you have a trendy seasonal piece that you consider to be your 'IT' fashion statement for the season?
