Okay, so quick entry here...

Does anyone know where to find a nice trench coat like what Victoria Beckham has here??

Okay so as usual I've been perusing the internet for fashion inspiration from celebrities when I found this one.  I have always loved black and white, even cream coloured clothing.  My wardrobe, in fact, usually has mostly these three shades.  It's sort of a staple in my closet when it comes to my basic go-to colours.

I fell inlove with this coat the moment I laid eyes on it.  OMG, it just screams luxury.  I know this is probably along the price range of about 4 to 5 digits so any cream coloured coat that this inspired would do the trick! I currently have a cream coat, well, 3 already...I just find that one of them has been so over-worn that it looks as if it needs replacing soon.  Like alot of my big purchases, I usually get abit picky about what I buy like my cream coat, leather bomber jacket even my down jacket for winter.  It's only right to be as diligent when replacing my fave baby, my coat (from Zara)!

Anyways, the search just gets harder now that summer is almost here...I'm hoping however, that my next get-away will provide me with an opportunity to get a replacement.  I think I've made my peace with replacing my coat lol.  It's now time to find another luv of my life--err a cream coat i mean haha.

Any ideas!?

BEBE luv

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!~*

fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my jammies =)

Ever so often, along with my beautiful array of dresses, I try to round out my wardrobe with some essential pieces of clothing.  Essentials to me are about as important as the outfits that I wear, since these are pieces that I tend to wear more often and comfort is a must.

More than anything else, essentials are like those behind the scenes articles of clothing that you may only catch a glimpse of underneath a jacket or a sweater, but definitely makes the outfit in more ways than anyone will know...

I love my uber comfy racerback tanktops and my crazy soft tees and even my 3/4 length and long-sleeved shirts.  They are my basic go-to's when I'm wanting to layer or even put something on that I know guaranteed will give me long-lasting comfort and add style to my fashionable outfit.

Normally, my go-to brands switch back between Marciano and BEBE for my tanks...I've collected a not so cheap collection of racerbacks and tees that are super comfy and well worth the pennies I drop for them!  To date, my fave would be my Marciano 'M' Logo tee that's 3/4 length and soooo soft.  OMG its crazy comfy it gets me through a bad workday when I'm not in the mood to be dressed lol.

Lately though, I've reverted back to my less expensive faves, and an oldie fave =)

The tees and tanks at Forever 21 are crazy cheap and great value for the quality!  For tees that are around $6 CDN and around $5 CDN tanktops, how can you go wrong!? It comes in a great variety of styles like spaghetti straps and racerbacks and variety of colours too!

An oldie that I've been reverting back to for some essentials is a store that I've long sworn off.  It's just too much of a kiddie store that all the tweens and teens love to shop at, and having to compete with the kids is not my style.  I have to admit, I do love some of their clothes tho.  I am talking about Aritzia.  Their lines: Wilfred, Talula, TNA and Talula Babaton are great lines that have greatly impressed me the last few seasons.  I am looking forward to their next few season's lines =)

Okay so when I love something, I tend to buy in multiples, that's just how I am! lol.  I love the soft feel of these tanktops, cotton/spandex mix.  I love the light teal colour.  It also comes in a nice yellow and light pink =) It's a great buy for $25 cdn.  I luv luv luv wearing these that I'd buy a few more colours when I get the chance! lol.  I really do love to buy comfy essentials in multiples.  It's nice to have in handy for regular days and even for trips and such!

What are your fave luxe essentials??
