$500 TO SPEND AT HOLT RENFREW...

If you had $500 to spend at Holt Renfrew, what would you buy? 

Recently I won a contest for a $500 Holt's Gift Card. Should arrive in the mail in the next 2-3 weeks, so obviously I have already started planning the best way to spend the Gift Card. I worked my butt off to win this contest so I'm really excited to treat myself with the reward. From years of experience shopping and being obsessed with fashion I thought what I really want is a handbag or jewelry. Ultimately I will decide at the store as Holt's website seems limited in what they can show for merchandise that is actually in-store. From the website I found some great purchases or investments the gift card would be great for. I really want an Alexander Wang handbag, that would be the ultimate for me, but at this time I may need to stay realistic and buy my first Marc by Marc Jacobs I have always been interested in owning. I typically stick to black or tan when it comes to shoulder bags and shoes but  maybe I need to make an exception with this purchase, the blue Marc by Marc Jacobs I found online is a fabulous bag I would really like in a colour that matched our Wedding royal/sapphire colour. Coincidence?

ME AND MY NOVEMBER FLARE

While killing time on Wednesday before meeting my girlfriends for the LouLou Shop Til You Drop party, I ducked into Holt Renfrew and ended up chilling in the washroom.. Weird or bored whateves, checked out the store and a little visit turned into an 'art' show LOL I was inspired by the green tile, gold mirrors, and lighting.

Glad I took those pictures. Even though I wasn't sure about posting them, I saw this outfit in my November Flare and had to laugh at the amazing fall fashion connection.

MONDAY, FASHION, AND FLARE!

First day back to work after vacation and I was feeling it! With a relaxed outlook on life, I had the most comfortable outfit on and rock my new mani/pedi :) I went to Holt Renfrew after work for research I needed for a contest I'm trying to enter.. Unfortunately nothing to work with, and had more fun picking out my favourite window displays.

Wearing my new resort inspired shirt and metallic sandals from Necessary Objects in NYC, pants from H&M. Received my September Issue of FLARE while I was on vacation, I was so happy to see it waiting on my desk :)

My cat is a bit of a she-devil. but she means well...

HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH

Today I took my girlfriends (from Vancouver and Ottawa) to our Holt Renfrew on Bloor street. It was such a nice day, when we walked in we were greeted with lemonade :) My friend J9 (nickname) was in the market for a new bag, and I was more than happy to keep her company. She ended up buying a really cute black Marc by Marc Jacobs purse.
