15 Years Anniversary


 
 
Today is a 15 years anniversary since the first Sex and the City episode aired. I was way too young when it aired and did not watch the show at its prime, but I got hooked much later. I have a collection of all episodes and both movies. I watch them often when I’m sick or on those cold rainy fall days. They go very well with a nice glass of wine. So, in honour of that…. today’s outfit…..well…it has no relation to it whatsoeverJ. I just wanted to share a fun fact J. I know the show and both movies have many cheesy lines and they are unrealistic, but they are fun and relaxing. And I do have to say though, that SATC is one of those shows that has left a strong mark on the world of fashion and is somewhat to blame for mine and other women’s shoe obsession. It also gave many women the courage to experiment a little more with their clothes and not be afraid to combine the unimaginable. 
 
 
  
 
What I love about fashion today is that almost anything goes. You are free to do what you please. Don’t get me wrong I still think certain rules should apply and should never, ever, ever be forgotten: no white socks on black shoes (of any kind), no sports socks on dress shoes, no mullets , your private body parts should stay covered – they are not an accessory, etc. This freedom, no longer dictated by rigid rules, allows for an absolute expression of who you are through clothes. Now don’t take me for a rebel, I am so far from one. I just like being free to wear what I want and how I want it: wear a belt tied on my back, combine red and pink (which growing up was a major no-no to the point that there is even a short little poem made up to sing in order to embarrass some poor girl who chose to wear that combination – bullying 101 it seems now), not match my shoes to my belt or my purse, and so on. You are now your own blank canvas to paint on it what you wish. So take risks! Play with it and enjoy! Now, as we were leaving the house to take these pictures, my husband looked at me and said: “Are you sure you are wearing the right outfit? You sure your pants and boots go together?”  I just laughed at him and told him in my eyes, they do. He is still, after all these years, getting used to my choices J. What do you think? Ciao!

PS. (not sure if anyone writes PS any more, but regardless) Today is one of those gloomy and rainy cold days, so maybe I’ll do what I usually do. Put on some Sex and the City episodes and relax with a glass of wine. Cheers!

The Very First Outfit Post

        I took a few outfit pictures over the last few days, as I was running around my day and I wasn’t sure what would be the first one to post. I debated and as the days went by and weather changed (it seems every day it was a different season), I decided to go with the very first one I shot. This one I actually took last month at the High Park.   It was the last few days when you could see the cherry tree blossom so I did not want to miss out on it. I love spring only for this reason, trees and flowers blossoming. And the fact that it is a sign that the summer is just around the corner (I am still waiting for this corner though), but it is a sign.      A little nervous giggle              Sweater Costa Blanca, white tee H&M, rings, earrings, necklaces and leggings Forever 21, watch Michael Kors, bag Louis Vuitton, sneakers Urban Planet, sunglasses Ray Ban   This is a very casual outfit and very odd for me in the sense that

Have You Visited Positano & Amalfi Coast Yet?

Pants Zara, jacket Zara, sneakers Forever21, bag unknown (Winners), dress unknown ( similar ), ankle boots PrettyLittleThings There are still quite a few more outfits and cities I’ll be featuring on the blog from my last year’s trip to Italy, however today I’m sharing this post from the last location we visited: beautiful Positano. As we visited Italy in the fall, outfits left to share are more fall appropriate, so I will share them come September. I’ll be dealing with two little babies then so God knows how much time I will have to shoot new outfits. As I’m laying on my couch bored out of my mind counting down the days to my delivery next week (whooohoooo!!!) I’m experiencing such FOMO. Partially because I won’t be going on vacation this summer (though becoming a mom to two little girls is quite awesome!!) and partially because I’m reminiscing of my travels last year. Positano seems to still be one of the most photographed summer destinations so I’m sharing a few pictures f

Sightseeing Montreal In Hot Pink Sneakers & Ripped Jeans

Day two in Montreal, was again walking the beautiful streets of old Montreal and testing out patios, but now in daylight, hehehe. Oh and lets not forget, blog picture taking. I forget how beautiful this city is and am reminded every time I come back. Then, I wonder why I don't come back more often. It is gorgeous, vibrant and people are extremely warm. It has such a European flare, which I often miss, and this is a quick way for me to get that fix once in a while, without having to fly over an ocean. These pictures were snapped around St Denis street as well as around Catherdral Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal. I was comfortable in my new N

Hopefully, those of you who are moms got to be pampered and spoiled by your kids and partners. I hope you also showed your love to your moms and thanked them for everything they have done for you. We should be doing it every day, but it’s really nice to have a day dedicated to these amazing women. I know how much my mother means to me and she certainly deserves every day to be dedicated just to her. I’m sure all of you feel the same way about your mothers too. Even the sun came out to shine and make Mother’s day even more special. I made sure to go bare legged to welcome the warmth and the sun. Today’s outfit is a cute spring look, easy to pull off. Black and white stripes always make a statement and a little pop of colour just makes the outfit complete. I spent the day out mostly
