If I had a wishlist, that is.

I’m finding good company is much better than things on wishlists these days.

BB Dakota Bayfield jacket

*NYC Boutique “Shameless top”

Dolce Vita Mica dress

NYC Boutique draped shearling jacket

Ash Rebel boot

I’m just wrapping up the gift buying now, so I can’t indulge just yet. Sadface. I am really eyeing that DV dress and the Ash booties… love.

When an almost-empty subway car parks in front of you when you’re in a hurry to get to work/yoga/home.

Angles. All kinds! Everywhere!

The Royal Ontario Museum. My lovely fiancé shot this on Saturday when we were strolling down Bloor street.

One of my favourite items in my purse…

Posted: November 26th, 2010 | Author: A.J. | Filed under: nerd, random | 1 Comment

Is my beloved Kindle.

Thank you for always being there for me, little friend.

  • Subway rides
  • Waiting for the doctor
  • Dealing with being jet lagged and can’t sleep
  • Laying on my couch
  • Being cute

Okay, the last one didn’t make much sense, but I love it so. And if you’re wondering about the case, it’s a DVF case because I am a girly girl and goddammit, I will choose whatever the hell case I want. Haaaa.

Update - Books I’m reading on my Beloved:
- The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
- How Pleasure Works by Paul Bloom
- The Trial by Franz Kafka
- Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut

I think the first 2 books say something about my quest for happiness and pleasure - and the likelihood that I’m experiencing a quarter-life crisis. Sigh.

Worn with Hudson jeans.

They are the same ones that I previously blogged about, but in black patenty goodness.

Nom nom nom.

I need to start taking more Vitamin D… the weather is really getting to me.


Balenciaga or Manta Ray? You decide.

Good Sunday morning, blogpeeps! I have yet to go outside, but I am already enjoying my Sunday. So far, it has consisted of a cup of coffee, attempting to wake up the fiancé (mission failed), backing up some of my old photos onto my external hard drive, and listening to Tricky. Not bad for 9:30am on a Sunday.

I was doing some my regular blog reading, and Bag Craze posted new photos of Balenciaga’s Spring 2011 bags - and I’m not sure how I feel about them. This one in particular:

Hmmm… does it remind anyone else of a Manta Ray?

I may be the only person to think this, but this means that this is one Balenciaga bag that I will not drool over (the Holt Renfrew people are probably sick of following me around with a washcloth anyways).

Random Pretty Cupcake Fact: I think Manta Rays are creepy.


Just a friend.

I am impressed with Goldblum!


Outfits my iPhone sees.

Posted: November 12th, 2010 | Author: A.J. | Filed under: fashion, general, outfits | 3 Comments

A couple photos from my iPhone over the last few weeks (excuse the stupid poses).

Michael Kors dress, Alexander McQueen cashmere scarf, Salvatore Ferragamo flats.

I like this look. Except that the dress was kind of short, but the black opaque tights made it not so… risque.

Jacob plaid bow skirt, Michael Kors sweater & scarf.

I looooove this sweater/scarf set. They are separate pieces that come as one, so I can wear the scarf whenever I want, and I can wear the sweater (crew neck) (fits amazingly) whenever I want. I want more of these!!

And lastly…

Alice + Olivia cardigan that I adore.

Hmm. Looking back at these outfits, it would seem that I like things that layer in front of me (like scarves or a wrappy-fun cardigan).

I love fall :)
