Oprah Ebay Auction

I love Oprah and have been watching her show my entire life, literally. She’s on her 24th year of the show, and I am in my 29th year of life. But what I really want, is to walk a mile in Oprah Winfrey’s shoes. And guess what? I can! Oprah is auctioning her clothes, shoes [...]

Mad for Military

Last summer I gave away a green, military jacket purchased for a steal-of-a-deal on a trip to London. Because I bought the jacket in 2006 and hadn’t worn it since 2007, I followed the two-year rule and donated it to charity. But wouldn’t you know it, military (or utility) jackets are totally back in style [...]

DVF Spring 2010 Collection

Spring 2010 at Diane Van Furstenberg is full of tribal and boho influences. If you like animal prints, flowy skirts and dresses the DVF spring 2010 collection is for you. Personally, I dabble less in the trendy pieces and more in the classic, investment pieces. For me, the stand outs of this collection are the [...]

Strategic Shopping at Crowded Stores

Your local paper just announced that H&M is carrying Jimmy Choo shoes this Saturday at a mall near you or there is a new H&M (or other such store) opening this weekend. You awaken bright and early on opening day to realise half the city had the same idea. You arrive at the store and [...]

Valentino Spring Summer 2010

The Spring Summer 2010 Valentino show was full of nude, gray, rose, lavender, and gold hues. Critics were skeptical of the choice of colour pallette but fell in love with the design house’s collection of bags. I personally loved the use of muted colour to showcase the delicate fabric and intricate design of each piece. [...]

Romance is in the Air!

Whether it’s a night out with the ladies or an intimate dinner with your partner, you want to look the part on Valentine’s Day. I was trolling the Nordstrom website and came across a pair of gorgeous, red-suede Steve Madden platforms and a Maggy London little black bandage dress that is sure to flatter all [...]

Preserving Faux Gold Jewelry

Do you buy costume jewelry at stores like Forever 21 and H&M? I am not ashamed to admit that I do. When I buy gold costume (ie fake or faux) jewelry I hate when the gold colour chips and starts to expose the copper coloured metal underneath. The best way to prevent chipping is to [...]

How to Wear Skinny Jeans

Admit it. You love to hate skinny jeans. But just because skinny is in the name doesn’t mean you must be in order to wear them. Skinny jeans come in many flattering styles and colours: straight leg, bunched or zippered at the ankle, high and low cut, ultra tight, and so on. Rock them with [...]

Labels We Love: Elizabeth and James

I first beheld these shoes during the Christmas sales and I cannot get them out of my mind. They are gorgeous. Picture these Elizabeth and James Jazz pumps with a pair of sexy Wolford stockings with a back seam running from your foot up the length of your leg. Finish the look off with a [...]

Running in Style

To the surprise, or perhaps amusement, of my closest friends and family I have become a runner and have been for almost 6 months. I really enjoy pounding the pavement with my 4-legged, canine companion. Apart from the requisite iPod and being professionally fitted for “you want me to pay how much for shoes without [...]
