Tweed Blazer: 3 Ways

I think my love for the tweed blazer is somehow intertwined with my immense love for Chanel and all things elegant and luxurious.  I have always thought that Coco Chanel epitomized the elegant woman--wise before her time, she knew what made a woman stand out and look beautiful even with just two colors on a palette to work with (or lack of color thereof!)

 Check out the the ways I've styled my tweed...

TGIF: Flower Blazer for fridate!

Whenever the sunshine shows up and the end of the week rolls up, it's sure everyone's making a run for the door before the end of the work day--I'm no exception.  I love Vancouver all year round (even in the freezing temps!) but nothing shows Vancouver's beauty and wonder like a nice sunny day (be it winter, summer spring or fall) especially at the end of the week!

I was inspired by the beauty of the day and thus, for our weekly fridate I decided to dress with the spring blooms in mind. To check out what I wore...

Throwback Thursday: NYE 2011 fun!

For throwback thursday I thought i'd dig up a gem! I love this picture --New Year's Eve 2011, no better way to ring in the new year than with those you love.  I was so inlove with this dress, and my shoe changes! lol.  It comes in handy to stay at the same hotel that the party is held.  We stayed at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, the same place as the NYE gala we attended.

Baptism: Cream suit and lace

Hola!

Mondays are always a drag, though the fact that it's sunny today (and possibly through the week!) is a silver lining in my book.

Last saturday, as I have mentioned in one of the entries below, I went to a baptism at St. Andrews Church.  Can i just say that people should think about making baptisms slightly later than say, 10am?? omg, talk about people that look like they just dragged themselves out of bed! lol.  I felt slightly overdressed sitting near a man that was just wearing a hoodie and jeans. Whatever happened to the days when people actually dressed in their sunday's best for church and especially for baptisms??

To check out which outfit I ended up wearing read on!

Baptism: Fresh whites

This weekend --or this saturday rather, I will be attending a baptism for my cousin's son whom I have yet to see lol.  It seems like a last minute quickie baptism before the family all leaves for a wedding in the phils...

Vegas Birthday Weekend: Day Two

During the day, we explored the sites before heading to the outlet mall for some major retail therapy!  we checked out the Palazzo, Venetian and got as far as the Wynn and Encore to see if we could get gueslist for XS or Lavo but were unsuccessful.

From Paris via NYC with love - The Tulip Skirt

I am so inlove with this skirt -- it has a slight twist to the regular tulip skirt.  It was an awesome find at the BCBG outlet store while in NYC.  At first you don't think it works when holding it up --I had to take a second look, even try it on since it looked oddly mishapen when not worn.  Once I tried it on however, your natural shape fills the skirt,  draping of the fabric in all the right places and creates a wrap like effect.  It's like magic! the natural tulip shape of the skirt just appears as you wear it.

Cutting Edge: lasercut trends

One of spring/summer trends that I have been obsessing about recently comes from an old idea of the weave and wicker basket style patterns.  It's cute but much more intricate in detailing --laser cut designs.  It's been popping up in clothing patterns, shoes and other accessories.  It's so gorge!

The cuts can range in various patterns and the intricacies are just amazing!  It can also vary in prices so don't think that just because it's intricately designed, it's going to break the bank.  You'll see after the jump, that some of my pieces aren't so expensive, but the detailing makes it look pricier!

check out the accessories in my closet from this trend!

Date Night Fridays: The Wrap Skirt

I had been waiting for friday all week! lol

It was a nice but somewhat chilly night --dinner at Crave with hun and then off to enjoy the Vancouver Nightlife at our usual spot, Barcelona!

Day 3:: Fallon and Dinner in Flowy Bandage Dress

Day 3 was a personal fave of mine --I got to see a taping of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon!  He's hilarious as a SNL cast member and I've loved watching his shows when I can catch it so it was a treat to see him live!!! Unfortunately there were no cameras allowed in the premises so I have no photographical evidence lol...Although u can catch a slight glimpse of my bf and even me in one of the camera shots! lol.

After Fallon, we decided to catch a steak dinner at one of the better dining establishments --Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.  We got all dolled up and had a great time!

Harem Pants at work

Exhausting day at work...I feel like whenever I get a chance to catch up, things pile back up again --neverending cycle i suppose...I decided to be somewhat comfy at work today even though I still wore heels, I guess it was a trade-off.  I wore my new harem pants purchased while I was on vacation in NYC...

Party Rockin'!

Saturday night was a party night with the crew...We were headed to Barcelona.  It was a fun night, and i actually got to get my dance on abit too! lol.

lovely saturday: dimsum!

Saturday was one of those rare days that was both relaxing and enjoyable, just because I knew that this weekend brought an extra day as part of the first long weekend of the year!  My bf and i decided to go for dimsum (more like i wore him down lol) and then to Home Depot to buy his precious new toy, the pressure washer haha.

Errands night: quickie mall run!

On thursday night, my boyfriend had his boys night out and i decided to use the time to make a quickie run to the mall to run some errands.  It was a quiet night for me lol but that was okay, it was much needed and deserved.  I was saving my energy for the upcoming weekend ahead anyways!

an oldie but goodie.

If you have read my previous posts you'd know that I'm uber obsessed with losing out on the BEBE kardashians romper that had sold out before I even blinked an eye.  The demand for that romper was just cray.  I went to the store the day after I saw it online and they only had a medium and large all over Canada! (yep, not just in my local area, but all over Canada!) Imagine my disappointment when I walked away empty handed.

Imagine my surprise years later when they released a similar version!

Ok fine, it's not going to be exactly the same as the one I really wanted, but beggars can't be choosers.  I love it just as much and.....I want it! lol.  It'll be a perfect addition to my spring/summer wardrobe.

Everyone, outta my way, this one's mine! lol.

VFW weekend fun!

I had a chance to go to a couple of shows for Vancouver Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012.  It was exciting to see all of the well-to-do people coming together in one place for a fashionable purpose--viewing of a new collection! This year we went to Teresa Rosati and Farida Lalji.  Two great designers with an eye for breath-taking designs that just blew me away!

This is the outfit I wore to the fashion shows..I will post the fashion show pics soon! On what I wore, read on...
