Leave it to me to perpetually abandon my website, and then to come back with this. Baha! Call it filler, call it what you will, but sweetest Lauren (aka Fashion Kitty), has tagged me for another fun — albeit silly — blog questionnaire. Even though most of you probably know the answers, I won’t be the one to break […]

Of course I’m thrilled whenever ThisNext sends me products to test, so imagine my glee when I received a bottle of OPI’s nail lacquer in my mailbox!
Lately I’ve been all about OPI’s India Collection — specifically the colour ‘Keys to my Karma’ — but with June right around the corner, I wanted to try out a bubbly, bright pink. […]

They certainly weren’t created with tanlines in mind, but I still love these adorable vintage-inspired swimsuits by Very Sexy® Victoria’s Secret.
The retro balconet and bandeau tops are spot-on style for this summer. Both tops have a chic sensibility that is a refreshing departure from typical triangle bikini tops. These tops also feature removable halter straps and underwire support.
The bottoms of both suits […]

Besides warm weather, there’s one thing I’m particularly peached about this spring: ACCESSORIZING!
The right accoutrement can make or break an outfit. The quintessential example?  MK and Ashley Olsen, of course. While they look almost exactly alike, the twins each exude their own personal style — even when sharing a wardrobe — by adding unique accessories. Eclectic […]

Animal prints are classic; although they’re frequently stamped on trendy pieces — 50s wasp-waist skirts and platform heels – an animal print sweater is a piece you’ll keep in your wardrobe for several seasons.
I love a chic, fitted cardi done in a neutral print, like these designs by Bruno Manetti and Forever 21. Bruno Manetti’s animal print cardigan is pure […]

All metallic leather in my favourite colour (GOLD!), Coach’s leather jewelry box is compact but comprised of several compartments to store every jewel you receive this holiday season.
Tucked away inside glamourous gold leather is a removable top tray, and a bottom tray with dual storage. It also features Coach’s signature turnlock closure.
And though it’s better […]

She is perhaps my favourite example of a fashion icon: Diana.
She exuded effortless elegance in every ensemble she wore, and that elegance is examined thoroughly in Diana Style through photos, commentary, and interviews with designers and her closest confidantes.
A beautiful follow-up to Audrey Style by Pamela Clarke, author Colin McDowell has created a delightful chronological history of Diana’s […]

Slippers are practical for anyone living north of the Mason-Dixon line; for frequent travellers who want to keep their feet away from foreign floors; for me –
Because I believe Burberry is branding at its best, and these slippers would look super sweet on my feet.
And they come with a quilted packing bag.
Like I need any […]

To be blunt, there are few men I know — who aren’t gay — who would take this book and actually use it as a style dictionary; there are many men I know who need to do just that.
Mr Classic, which also could be titled How A Woman Wants Her Man to Dress, is the […]

Happy Cyber Monday, ladies!
I do hope you’re all searching out only the best in online holiday sales; I’d love to hear what designer deals you’ve found.
I frequently get emails about designer clothing or products that readers want to know where to find or how to wear, so I thought it only appropriate to create a […]

Kate Spade’s designs are about as classic as a rope of Coco Chanel’s pearls, Manolo Blahnik’s high heels, or an Etro square scarf; so I love her book called Style for its simple tips that seem so obvious, but are missed everyday by so many women.
Within the pages of Style, Spade details how she came […]
