WHAT I'M WATCHING: DOWNTON ABBEY

I first heard of Downton Abbey on Twitter through movie and fashion celebrities I follow, interesting commentary takes over my newsfeed weekly. I purchased Season 1 from iTunes and this past weekend watched the entire season! This tv series is absolutely incredible. A constant range of storylines and emotions, an upper class world where people feel trapped but have the courage do anything they please. Other parts I really enjoy is the Cast, Costume Design, and the Set Design (check out: Highclere Castle).

LONDON FASHION WEEK BEGINS: ERDEM FALL/WINTER 2012

London Fashion Week has been on for a few days already, but there's just not enough time in the day to consume everything.  I was wishing for pictures of Erdem's Fall 2012 shows and BAM! Style.com posted photos from the presentation just hours before I started searching. Here are my favourite looks from the collection.

WHAT I WORE TODAY: FAMILY DAY EDITION

Today my fiance and I strolled up Queen Street checking out some of our favourite furniture shop, Design Republic and restaurant/diner, Shanghai Cowgirl. What I'm wearing; my new Jason Wu x Target striped top, a bright coral red cardigan/sweater I bought from Old Navy, and my gray Pepe London jeans. Complete with friendship bracelet, engagement ring, and equestrian with jewels patterned scarf from H&M in 2010 or later, all three accessories not pictured but loved.










STOCKING IS THE NEW PLANKING

On September 2, 2011 ChickAdvisor published an article about the latest posing trend, "Stocking." Today my friend posted a link to the website, "STOCKING IS THE NEW PLANKING" and there was the picture I planned, and moi!

MARNI X H&M: LA LAUNCH, RED CARPET VIDEO

Speaking of collaborations, and interesting details... Marni x H&M's L.A. launch event, red carpet chit-chat :)

 



MISCHIEF IN THE DETAILS

The Jason Wu for Target capsule collection communication platform was, "mischief in the details." A huge reason I wanted to support the designer who designs how I dress ;) 




I LOVE this blazer I bought from Zara in the Fall (2010). They have matching pants that I love to wear, when I'm channeling my When Harry Met Sally life's screenplay. They are cigarette style pants so best with tall boots or in the Spring/Fall months. The blazer/suits pattern is very subtle but exactly what I was looking for when  I was shopping. 


Handmade friendship bracelet from my girlfriend, Alexandra. Black heart bracelet was a gift from ELLE Canada and Pandora. Beautiful scarf from my fiances wonderful Grandma's Christmas present to me this last year.
