Jeffrey Campbell Foxy Platforms vs. Jessica Simpson Dany Platforms

I was going to buy a pair of either of these gorgeous shoes for my trip to St. Maarten.  But since I cancelled it,  I also cancelled my thoughts of purchasing them... which is fine since it saves me time debating if I like the Jeffrey Campbell version better or the original Jessica Simpson version.

I think I prefer the JC's because they are a bit lower and although the shapes are very similar, I like the JC shape best.  Also, the colour of the Jessica Simpson wood platforms are much darker giving the shoe more of a formal feel than the ones by JC.  But alas the Jessica Simpson's, originally $98.00 and now on sale for $69.99 are a lot less expensive than the JC's going for $145.00.

Pressies :)

The most amazing bag from my amazing boyfriend

Present to myself! I ordered these bad boys online and they arrived Christmas Eve morning

I also got a ton of Smashbox makeup from my Aunt *Must learn how to apply makeup*
And an Aqua Di Parma cologne in Mirto di Panerea from my bf *Probably so I would stop stealing his :)*

I think it's better to receive one really amazing gift that you'll use forever than a bunch you'll grow out of by next Xmas. 

Me likey...

It's Snowing !!

With all the snow that's falling outside, the Spring/Summer 2011 collection by Erdem really brightens my day! I would love to wear any one of these looks. Enjoy!

            

        

Hot! Some I got, Some I want!

Zara purse

Mimosa Suede boots

Zara Sheepskin Jacket

J Brand Agnes coated denim

Zara Purse: Only $69.90 (I'll take 3 at that price please!)

Mimosa boots: on sale for $278.40 (I paid $348.00 :( since I bought them in August... oo well)

Zara sheepskin jacket: $399, expensive but amazing if you have some extra shopping dough

J Brand Agnes coated denim: Around $300 CDN (if you can, grab a pair of these in the States, selling only for $260 there!!) They fit like a glove and are my new favourites... anddd they look GREAT with my Mimosa boots! 

Shoesies !

I love shoes.  Right now, the two pumps I would love to add to my closet:

YSL patent pump

Giuseppe Zanotti sparkly pump

Unfortunately I couldn't walk in the Giuseppe Zanotti pumps, otherwise they would be in my closet. They are really expensive but totally amazing and so chic! As for the YSL pumps, as much as I rather spend a lot of money on something classic that i'll get use out of (to somewhat justify spending a ton of money)... they aren't as exciting as GLITTER.

On the topic of shoes and glitter, I also love these Giuseppe Zanotti booties

And, while we're still on the topic of shoes.... Chanel Spring 2011 shoes were such a major disappointment:

Chanel Spring 2011

The shoes on the top right are probably the best of them... depressing since they hit the clog trend right on the head:

Les Khakis

Chanel + nail polish for the fall =

Chanel is always a leader with any nail polish colour trend and with this season's influx of everything neutral and earth-tones, the Les Kahkis de Chanel nail (no pun intended) it again!

I just painted my nails this "Mouse" colour by American Apparel, a nice taupey, greyish, brownish colour! 

I miss this girl (and her clothes) !!!

Marlene: American Apparel lace top, Aritzia harem pants, Aldo wedges
Stefania: Vintage blazer, American Apparel t-shirt, Vintage skirt and Aldo stilettos

(Please come back soooooon!!)

J'adore Noir Purses

Balenciaga City Bag

Mulberry Alexa Bag

Chanel Jumbo Flap Bag

An affinity towards black leather purses with gold hardware. I'll have all three please!

It's that time of year again.....

Leather Jacket: Mackage for Aritzia, Fur Vest & Clogs: Forever 21, Jeans: Nudie, Sunglasses: Chanel

Break out the leather and furs!!

Music videos and Fashion

Thanks to Lady Gaga (in my opinion), I think we can start to expect a much bigger fashion influence in music videos.  Obviously fashion, or rather, costumes have played a huge part in music videos, but Gaga has pushed costumes and brought iconic fashion pieces into the spotlight... 

Speaking of which, as hard as it will be to compete with Gaga, it doesn't mean that every female must try to beat her at her game.  Beyonce, always talented and knowing how to pull off a great music video, came out with her video for 'Why don't you love me',

I love what she's wearing in this video.... It reminds me of the Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 Ready-to-wear collection

So excited to use it and keep up with all my world wide web dependant outlets!

Tiger Tiger Tiger Woods ya'lllllllllllllllll

All this drama over Mr. Tiger Woods!!

"I'm disappointed"
"Where's the Tiger Woods clearance bin?"
"I can't wear those, my wife will kill me!"
"Bah! The second he comes back, he'll win a huge tournament and all will be forgotten."
I've heard everything from jokes comparing Tiger to Santa to experiencing first hand the falling sales of everything Tiger related in the country's biggest golf store chain. 

Vanity Fair came out with this cover:

Everyone wants a piece of Tiger.
Pierre Elliot Trudeau once said, " the state has no business in the bedroom of the nation."  And I take this, and apply it to everyday life.  What goes on in the personal lives of people, is no business of mine.

So when I think of Tiger Woods, i'll think: a black man who came on to the golf course and broke through boundaries, flew over obstacles and came to be one of the greatest golfers of all time.  period.
