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.

To find out what I wore, read on!

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!

Shoe of the Day!

Today's shoe is from Guess --Myrick Shoe.

I am lovin' this for obvious reasons --at least obvious to me lol-- the two toned cream and gold is just so spring/summer! I've always loved the contrast cap toe shoes --i've got two, both from nine west! It's like colour-blocking with shoes.  I always love gold hardware so it was only natural to gravitate to these!

Happy Friday!

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...

Birthday Lunch and Bandage Dress

The second to last day to a very long, stress-filled week.  We realized the two days before that a co-worker had a birthday a bit too late and had to quickly scramble up a quickie celebration...

It was a rainy day but i still decided to wear a bandage dress that I had long stored in my closet after confidently losing a few pounds.  It's one of my faves definitely, intricate front design and gives a great shape!

Dress: HMS

shoes: Guess (not shown)

I hope that you have a great weekend!

Devil is in the details...

Have you ever heard that expression before? lol I'm not all that sure what it means either, but I've heard it enough times to know that it has something to do with focusing on the smaller details of a bigger picture sometimes --or in this case, an outfit!

Summer is fast approaching (although you'd never know it from the city pouring) and I thought that what better way to prepare for summer than updating my accessories!

Red Hot!

When feeling blue, there is no better pick-me-up than a gorgeous pair of heels. Don't you agree?

I recently bought this pair of sky-high red pumps (on sale, fyi) from Aldo.  Up until this year, my choice of colors for both shoes and fashion have not strayed far from the neutrals and the basic greys -- so to get a pair of fire engine red shoes was definitely a statement piece.  Don't get me wrong, this is my third pair of red shoes, but none reach the heights this baby can!

Enjoy, savor and drool lol.  I know I did for the longest time before deciding to purchase it!

Shoes: Aldo (corelli)

more NYE pics!

So I was able to grab some pics from my cousin...basically most of the same pics but I loved the NYE pics we had!

Christmas Party weekend!

This weekend was a crazy busy weekend filled with both mine and my boyfriend's work christmas parties.  The weekend started off with us rushing to get to River Rock Hotel & Casino, check in right away and then make sure that everything is set up at Tramonto Restaurant for the dinner.

Most everyone was late, and unfortunately my other boss didn't make it due to a personal reason, but all in all it was a great night and things went off without a hitch.  The field guys behaved themselves for the most part and we did our company name proud.

On Saturday, we went to my bf's work party at the Convention Centre downtown.  It was a little hard nursing a slight hangover from the night before but we made it on time to check in, relax and enjoy the room before rushing to get ready and getting down in time for the announcement to take our seats.  It was very different from my work christmas party as it was over 3000 people in attendance!  I had fun even if the headache didn't really go away.  The party was a success, and big enough that it included a football sized main area, and a small jazz lounge upstairs! lol.  It was an amazing night.

if you wanna see both my outfits and the rest of the pics...

February: start of my birthday month! yay!

It's february...you know what that means...birthday month!

I bought myself an early birthday prezzy before my birthday trip! I love my birthday month!  It may be cold and snowy but it's fun time for me.

I bought a pair of shoes from Guess! loves it!

Clickin' my heels in style for the holidays!~*

These are mos def not Dorothy's ruby red slippers!

I recently picked up my pair of gold, sparkalicious heels from Guess...LUVS!!

I must say, when it comes to shoes at Guess my fave pair is usually the 'Carrie'.  I love the fit and the size 5 (yes, I have very small feet) is just perfecto!  The style Carrie came in different styles and different fabrics and skins.  I have the basic white leather and the 'G' fabric in black from the outlet--both of which I love!

Anyways, this year's holiday variation came in two styles, the Carrielee, which came in 3 types of sparkly colours--Black, silver and Gold; the other is the style 'Carrielana' which came in a sparkly purple.

 I am almost all ready for the Christmas party! I've got my sheen, sparkle and fur! lol.  It's all coming together so quickly!

Falling for Fall (boots!)

It's approaching the end of July fast...You know what that means--Fall! luvs.

I wait for this season every year!!! (seriously.)

I love the fall foliage, the cooler weather (unless we get an indian summer) and even thanksgiving & halloween! haha.

Along with the change of the season means changing of the wardrobe. lol.  So official, almost like 'changing of the guards'..It's a ritual for me, to change my wardrobe from the summer cutesy tanks and shorts, to the appropriate hues and styles for fall.  Bring on the warmer sweaters, the darker jeans and the blazers....!

oh how I love fall...ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

Anyways, I was browsing for fall ankle booties to buy for the season, knowing full well that with the end of July comes the Fall preview collections--just a tease of what's to come!

So here are some of my options...tell me what you think!
