HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

In addition to the people of Toronto enjoying excellent Spring weather this weekend, they also celebrated St. Patrick's Day yesterday. Today as my fiance and I walked around Downtown and accomplished some errands, I took these pictures of a few of my favourite buildings and spaces.









My favourite accessories right now; Laser cut shoes from Forever 21 F/W2011 (purchased in San Diego), my beige Longchamp nylon and leather handbag, my Hermes Scarf, my Grandmother's Rose Pin, and Spring Jacket from S/S 2010 H&M's (1st) Garden Collection. Pepe London Jeans.

WHAT I WORE SHOPPING TODAY

We have been blessed with fantastic Spring weather since this past Sunday, which was also Daylight Savings day! First day of Spring is fast approaching (March 20/21), but we are fortunate to enjoy the glorious mild weather and extra hours of daylight to date :) 



I love my Longchamp bag for carrying everything I need without the weight of a leather purse, but for a jaunt in the city to go shopping for Sunglasses I wore my Mulberry x Target cross-body bag. I still wore my Winter boots, but opted for my favourite Spring/Summer jacket I bought at H&M's S/S 2010 Garden Collection :)





I LOVE my new Marni x H&M silk blouse, it fits and feels amazing! 



I found these two great pairs of Sunglasses (a.k.a. Sunnies) at Joe Fresh!



Some of my favourite places in Toronto, photos taken with Instagram.

MY MARNI X H&M SHOPPING HAUL

Today the MARNI x H&M collaboration hit stores here in Toronto. I have been a fan of MARNI for years and although I'm lucky enough to live in one of the cities that have receive the collaborations, I wasn't prepared to wait in line over night during the week. I thought I was going to be out of luck, the Lanvin x H&M collaboration was on a Saturday, why not this one!?! During our lunch break a friend and I cruised to the closest store (I called before and confirmed they still had "LOTS!"), to see what we could find. Well, I'm so happy to report and wear, my very own three pieces of MARNI!!!


100% Silk!





MY WEEK IN INSTAGRAM FILTERS

I LOVE MY NEW PHONE is an understatement. I'm so lucky I was eligble for an upgrade and hopped on the iPhone bandwagon (I do love Apple products). Now I'm blessed with my having my complete iTunes library and thousands of awesome applications at my finger tips. One of my favourite app's now is Instagram! I love all of their fun photo filters that enhance a photo and complete with borders. Classy ;)

When everyone attending Paris Fashion Week I follow on Twitter started "tweeting" about Western Chic at Isabel Marant, obviously I was keen to see the full collection in pictures online. Here are my favourite looks form the Fall/Winter 2012 RTW presentation.
