Shopping my closet.

I have been searching for rectangular-like tortoiseshell coloured pair of sunglasses for quite sometime. I have large cheeks so finding a good pair of sunnies is usually a project of its own. I was thinking about investing the time and effort to find Wunderkind cat-eye sunglasses (much like Olivia Palermo’s) but instead, I found a pair of old Miu Miu sunnies that I bought at least 6 years ago (or more?) in my accessories drawer.

I love them all over again.

(excuse my stupid pose, I’m pretty awkward in front of a camera)

Also, I’m wearing a new lipstick! MAC’s new Pro Longwear lipcreme in Unlimited. I’ve had a cup of tea and a glass of water, and it’s still on my lips. Two thumbs up!


I want to cut my hair and dye it platinum.

No, I don’t. But, staring at the September editorial from SSENSE is making me really doubt my decision to dye my hair black again.

Gorgeous!

And those YSL boots in the second picture is pretty fabulous on its own. I wish I could rock that look!


Shoe of the day (Jeffrey Campbell)

Just two more weeks until I get to go on a real vacation again! It’s a shame I’m sick :( I am drowning in Benedryl, ColdFx and Buckleys. It’s a strange concoction.


Hooray for boots!

The first pair of boots of the season! YAY!!

Frye Engineer 8R boots. Leather is delicious… but I’m kind of sad that the more I wear it, the more denty and used they look. I kind of like the oil-slicked seamless black thing it had going on.

Today, boyfriend & I went to a Photography expo, and I learned that I need to calibrate my monitors. Is it weird that the thought of an uncalibrated monitor makes me feel like everything I see is a lie? Likely.


I <3 Toronto.

Toronto is one of my loves!

Also - Boyfriend has a great shot of the Toronto skyline. What a copycat ;)


Shoe of the day! (Oxfords)

oxfords: browns, skinny pants: gap black magic cropped skinnies

I’m so late to the Oxford party. Nevertheless, I welcome these with open arms. Boyfriend keeps giving me strange looks, but I don’t care. They’re dreamy.

Gah, I love shoes.

Sadly, I can’t stop listening to this song. It’s stuck in my head. I wonder when I’ll get my 15 minutes of internet fame?

Run and tell that.

I love yoga - but seriously?

One usually doesn’t associate a major luxury retailer like Holt Renfrew with yoga (other than potentially breathing deeply while they swipe your credit card through when you are purchasing that designer pair of boots that you totally do not need). However, a lover of all, Holt Renfrew will be carrying a brand called Beyond Yoga.

source: Beyond Yoga (stretch poplin adjustable pant)

I perused through the clothing available on the website, and the prices are comparable to your local overpriced-yoga store (ie: Lululemon) (although, probably slightly more expensive overall).

If you live in Toronto, Holt Renfrew is having a GWP offer on with the purchase of $85 worth of Beyond Yoga gear between August 31st and September 18th. You can get a free week-long pass to The Yoga Studio in The Yorkville Club - more details here!

I think that I’m probably okay with the yoga gear that I’ve got (I’ve acquired quite a collection, he says), but I’ll probably check it out.


Come on fall! (Military trench)

Posted: August 18th, 2010 | Author: A.J. | Filed under: fashion | Tags: | 0 Comments

This is my “Come on fall!” series.

I am itching and waiting and itching for autumn to come!

jacket: BB Dakota

I have a thing for jackets, blazers and scarves - so I am counting down until the days I can start taking them out of my closet to get some fresh air. This particular jacket just came in the mail today! What a pretty little thing. I got it from Karmaloop - and you can get 20% off of your first order if you use rep code ‘prettycupcake‘.

The Roots’ new album, “How I Got Over” is on repeat on the iPhone (they do not disappoint).

Until next time… toodles!
