travel | dolce vita

The travel bug has hit me again. After only traveling stateside & west coast Canada last summer. I feel like it's time to break-free and fly across the ocean to Europe. But where in Europe do you ask? 

accessories | Hoarders: Rebecca Minkoff Edition

If you know me, you know I love handbags. 

Not just any though,I do have a weakness and affinity for Rebecca Minkoff . Particularly MACs and MAMs. Though throw in the odd Rocker, and Lovers Clutch and I'm good to go. 

A Minkette through, and through.

accessories | DANNIJO

It’s definitely a finger party when DANNIJO is involved. 

FYI apart from creating statement jewelry, they also design bags, iPhone & iPad cases. 

Not to forget Mr. DANNIJO, their capsule line with the Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine, that plays on a masculine-feminine premise, and inspired by some of history's leading male fashion icons.

accessories | Alkemie Starfish Cuff

As C and I are discussing recent events on Gossip Girl- you know, being super productive as usual.  I remember watching episode 4 x 19 titled; "Pretty in Pink" where Serena, pairs Marchesa with the Anthropologie Starfish cuff.
Needless to say, 3 seconds after that episode, I knew I needed that cuff.

accessories | Dreaming in Burberry

I don't know when I started to fall in love with designer bags. Probably because of S's love for bags is way beyond normal. She first introduced me to Rebecca Minkoff, in fact my first RM bag was from S - the Nikki Croc Hobo in Mustard. I absolutely love it. And now... I am wanting to get the bag of my dreams. What would that be you ask? 

runway | Elie Saab is in Bliss.

I'll say this: Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2012 Collection might be my favourite collection by far. I don't think there has been a collection where I can just sit and stare blissfully - imagining to have every single dress in my {walk-in closet}. I am completely in love with the pastel colour choices. The colours makes everything so delicate yet playful at the same time and it many ways romanticizes what a dress should be.

travel | The next destination.

"...  throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain

 C, and I always talk about traveling.  Surprisingly we have never taken a trip together. 

My horoscope says, "....You love change, travel and adventure. You are a bit of a rolling stone. You have enormous curiosity and yearn to see far-off places and meet exotic peoples." 

runway | Chanel Takes Flight.

Paris Couture Spring 2012 is underway and Karl Lagerfeld creates another magnificent runway show. Staged inside a makeshift sleek jetliner with moving images of clouds outside the plane's windows, Lagerfeld created an amazing on-board experience for the lucky 250, who were able to see the show in the Grand Palais.
