If your practical like me and consider comfort and the weather before putting anything on, then don’t be too quick to rule out the idea of wearing pants to bring in the New Year.

What better way to bring good fortune your way in 2012 except in a pair of solid gold trousers?  They add the glitz required for the occasion and let’s face it, when else is this color any more appropriate?

I’d keep make up minimal; using gold’s and browns for shadow with the exception of a bright red lip. Match your lip to your clutch and keep it moving till the clock strikes 12!  I finished this look with a pair Valentino open toes pumps, and a sheer Tibi shirt.  If you’re not one for the outright sparkle that New Year’s is known for this is a nice let’s call it “conservative” alternative.

As much as I would love to hit the streets and party this year, I think it’s more likely that I’ll park my butt in front of the TV at home to watch the countdown by a warm toasty fire and my own alcoholic concoction.  Drink responsibly now!

Happy Monday!!

You know me, I’m a glam rock princess at heart, anything tinted black or  leather has my name scribbled all over it.  This weekend I went on a hunt hitting up many of my favourite spots in search of leggings which I’ve dubbed the “Cosby’s”   The old school sweater print just reminds me so much of Bill Cosby and the sweaters he use to wear so often on the show, so I’m officially going with that name!

I didn’t end up finding any unfortunately, I did have my heart set on a pair, made all sorts of plans for them which won’t ever come to pass….BUT I did come up with this cute outfit that features almost the exact pair I want from romwe.com, I’ll probably just end up ordering them from there, they offer free worldwide shipping, no minimum purchase required!

I love H&M, they haven’t steered me wrong yet and this Fall 2011 campaign featuring model Behati Prinsloo speaks to the quirky character within me.  Using scarves to anchor each look, theres a great mixture of colours and textured knits; mustard doesn’t  seem to be loosing its grip, and many of he looks are a throw back to the loose and easy styling of the 80′s.

80′s baby yeah!  Its a double edged sword shopping is; I love whenI find a great item but hate checking my account, *sighs*. I’ll try and keep my fingers out of the cookie jar, but with the move towards snow I can’t deny myself a new hat now can I??  Not the hat shown below though..a little too “fierce” for my taste lol

If you’re like me comfort almost always wins out over style; so this thanksgiving while you’re with family you maybe haven’t seen in years, you can be thankful not only for they’re company but that your stomach has room to expand after a hearty thanksgiving dinner!

Cropped boyfriend jeans and an over sized cardigan over a tank like this striped one easily go from 0 t o100 with the addition of gold detailed booties like these ones. This look doesn’t take too much thought but will leave you looking polished with little effort.  Simple, chic and not overdone, almost exactly what I plan on wearing to chow down this weekend, positively cannot wait!

Hope everyone is thankful for another day, make your mark!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

For me hopping is more than just a grab and go type of deal.  Not for any fashion enthusiast I know.  The mood, the decor and lighting in a store set the tone for someone who has come not only on a mission, but to enjoy their favourite past time; shopping can be considered a hobby, sport or even full time job!

I was recently introduced to Boutique1; a terribly chic line of stores located across the middle east in Dubai and United Emirates to name a few.  Going through the photos of the different locations I was completely enamored by the decor.  This particulat location in the Jumeirah Beach Residence is 3 floors of heaven and over 300,000 sq of paradise.  I would simply be in heaven at any one of their gorgeous locations!

You can find all your favourites from Missoni, Erdem, Victoria Beckham to Proenza Schouler.  Obviously on the higher end of fashion in both price and quality, a girl can’t help but dream about being lucky enough to step foot into anyone of these fab pieces!

Even if you like myself can’t drop everything and jet set across the planet to enjoy this amazing shopping feast, gaining access to the goods online is as easy as turning on your TV.  Shipping to just about everywhere in the world including my hometown in Canada.

I fell in love with so many of the pieces that I came up with an outfit that I could actually see myself wearing; this is a great weekend look stepped up to a designer level.  High on my wish list right now are Cardigans for fall, so I centered my look around this gorgeous motor cycle inspired cardi and PS1 bag. Absolutely LOVE the heels, so elegant!
