fave fashion accessory of the day/moment::
Camo green whether in a bomber jacket or pants have always been part of my staple casual wear. I've rocked the camo pants cropped and full pants, with runners, or heels. They are great for travel, alternative casual wear to jeans (when you get tired of jeans...imagine that!) and it's such a cute fashion statement for the club with a great pair of skyhigh heels! loves it.
What came out this season is a new version of the camo...The Skinny Camo pant.
Artizia came out with the skinny cargo pants in green and it took off like hotcakes! (I read in a mag that it was even backordered due to selling out so fast!!!) Now BEBE has it's own version in Khaki and Light Olive.
In the last few seasons that the stovepipe and skinny type pants and jeans, it was just a matter of time that even cargo pants got into the action and came out with it's own cute version of the skinny. It's a great summertime wear, kind of like the cropped skinny jeans in a variety of colours offered at AE.
I've got my eye on the pair from BEBE since i'm not really all that sure if the Aritzia pair is even available here...but for $113(CDN) or $91 USD, it's quite a bargain.
If I were you though, I wouldn't throw the old baggy cargo pants out for a garage sale yet, those babies are still quite the fashion...and if nothing else, they are great for travel!!!! =)
What do you think of the skinny cargoes?

Royal Blue is the new red.
beats:: maniac-girlicious (it's stuck in my head on repeat!!!)
OOTD:: White Marciano logo tee & black leggings
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my phone.
I recently went on abit of a shopping spree at BEBE thanks to their crazy promo....It's just too hard to pass up!! =)
Recently, (and til now) they have a sale going on that if you buy $125 you get $20 off and if you buy upto $250 or more, you get $50 off. I never went as crazy as buying upto $250 (altho if you add up all the items I bought eventually it did reach $250) but it was damned close!
I bought a gorgeous electric blue bandage halter dress!

I love the colour, it just pops so well! I feel like this shade of blue is like the new red for the season...It's a cooler but just as intense of a colour that pops as well as red. I love the shade, its just sooo gorgeous! It fits the body like a glove...So continues my love affair with the body con dresses. I am so grateful that the trend has been revived just because it's just so flattering...
I think it's empowering to feel as good on the outside as one would feel within. The bodycon dress, mastered by Herve Leger and even explored by Azzedin Alia, has been a iconic trend that has been revived by the love and celebration of curves...The fact that one does not have to show skin to be sexy, and that just by wearing a dress that hugs every single curve can be just as alluring and the mystery of what's underneath is what is the sexiest about it.
What do you think of the trend?

Club Monaco S/S 2010...LOVE!!!
beats:: I'm not myself tonight-Christina Aguilera
OOTD::
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: umm. earplugs for this song maybe? lol joke.
I happened to wander around Club Monaco recently and fell inlove with their Spring/Summer Collection 2010...Well it's really just the Spring Collection that's out at the moment i think....I've always loved the minimalist clean lines and monochromatic colours that is the signature of the label. It's like an upscale Gap, along the lines of Banana Republic you could say...Fairly on the pricey side, I've often opted to pass on the styles, but I can't seem to get certain pieces out of my mind this time around for some reason! lol.
A run-down of my faves....
The Catherine Silk Skirt - I am obsessed with the Cream, stone, offwhite etc. colour. It's the hardest to keep clean and yet I will gravitate to it EVERY time. I love the draping effect of this skirt, it's so lady-like and relaxed, and yet it's actually shaped to fit as a mini! loves it!
Emoni Cupro Dress - Okay, the pic does not do this tunic dress justice at all! The moment I saw this dress, I could sooo see my cuz in this..Loves it...It's so spring/summer...The flower shaped sequin in the front of the dress is so beautiful...The looseness of the tunic allows for it to be belted without hiking up. Can you say, lounging dress? lol.
Carter Sequin Jacket - This is so intricately sequined it's such a beautiful jacket to wear on top as a finishing touch for a night time outfit. It reminds me somewhat of a chanel tweed shape-wise. It's like wearing an art piece!
Martine Silk Dress - Love Love Love! If I can remember correctly, this dress is a racerback and sequined. It sparkles and is a perfect night time dress for lounging or a date....It somehow reminds me of Miami...maybe it's the light hue lol.
Jacie Skirt - Okay seriously, I try to stay away from a crazily done pleated skirt, but this one is just too cute to pass up. It's one of those pieces of clothing that can take you from day to night with just a few changes in the outfit. I love that it's long enough to pass for the office and cute enough to keep and change maybe a top and add some bling and maybe into sky-high stilettoes and ur all set to meet the girls for happy hour!!
Okay, so there's one more skirt, a tulip striped brown satin skirt that I couldn't find on the website, anyways, it's another must if you're looking for a day to night kind of skirt...I like double duty outfits that can take you from day to night with just a few changes, cause face it, there are times that we can't go back home to change....Sometimes, there's just enough time to re-touch the makeup, change up some accessories and get going! lol.
Anyways, sometimes taking a second look into an old fave can give new breath of life into an ailing routine in the closet.
