WHAT I'M READING: VOGUE US MAY 2013

For my 30th birthday a few months ago (February 5th) my best friend, Meghan gifted me a subscription to VOGUE! It's really been the gift that keeps on giving, every month it's so exciting to receive the new issue of VOGUE addresses to moi. Here are my favourite pages from the May 2013 issue. 

The adaptation of The Great Gatsby is in theatres here, May 10th! 

My cat, Nigo and I are both crazy about this Chanel watch..

Above: curious what MARNI's fragrance smells like..

Below: Maybe a great alternative cover option, a lot of people on twitter were not crazy about the cover chosen for this issue of Vogue.

Below: An article about Salvatore Ferragamo's custom Vara's..

I can't wait to see the movie, The Great Gatsby!

DREAM DESIGNER SHOPPING: A-D

Last post about my dream designer Summer/Spring 2012 right off the runway shopping. These posts are a great idea and I can't wait to do another one for Fall/Winter, but I get a little sad when I think about how far these beautiful clothes are from my reach. I have always said, and always will say, that when I feel 'I have made it,' I am going to buy myself a Chanel 2.55 Handbag. One of my ultimate fashion dreams.

SHOPPING: MY DREAM SUMMER TOTE

This morning I was thrilled to see and read that Alexander McQueen has been really focused on developing their e-commerce capabilities. I immediately noticed I can't get shipping to Canada, U.S.A. is the closest they offer shipping at this time :( I was browsing their online shop, soo many beautiful scarves to choose from, and then while peeking at the handbags, I spotted this precious tote that fills many of my needs and fashionable preferences at this time in my life. $210 USD, so needs more time/consideration, but you can bet for that price with Alexander McQueen production and branding, it will be a very well made handbag.

INSTYLE DECEMBER 2011

With commentary :D

Louis Vuitton and Chanel ads to date.

Great timing with the animal mistletoe ad :)

Demi Moore is both gorg and recently separated from Ashton Kutcher, I wonder what's next personally and romantically for her. She's an interesting, powerful woman..

Obsessed with this BVLGARI jewelry and noting this lovely Jimmy Choo ad because, in recent news Creative Director Tamara Mellon has announced she's leaving Jimmy Choo to start her own lifestyle brand.. I really don't want her too..

LOVE those shoes.. One of my favourite outfits of 2011 is the Prabal Gurung red and pink outfit Sarah Jessica Parker is wearing below. I wish that it my New Years outfit this year..

Emmy Rossum and Katie Holmes commenting on their favourite colours to wear, which are two of my favourite colours to wear too. I have to agree with Alexa Chung and Amanda Seyfried reasons why they tend to shop alone.

2011, the year of McQueen and Middleton... 2011, hear of honouring the Street Style Superhero Bill Cunnigham. I have to buy that documentary.. Oh ya, it's Christmas..

I'm already thinking about what to wear traveling, dinners, new years eve...

LOVE the white tuxedo jacket.. And embracing looks from the 60's & 80's with a modern approach. Wedding hair ideas below; "fake a bob" and "bump a bun to the side" looks :)

Coolest shoes EVER.

Romantic scent (once owned Grace) and romantic sweater. Both great gift ideas for a lady.

I'm obsessed with sapphire blue... I have some smudge paint in this colour I need to practice with for a possible new years eve look...
