love not one but many


I professed my love for these Fendi shoes earlier after looking through the collection and seeing all the vibrant colour variations.  The multi-tones are my most favourite but the others are equally to die for.  With all these choices I cannot just love one but many.  And thankfully, monogamy isn't an issue when it comes to shoes... or fashion in general.


Which one is your favourite?

racy lacy delicates

first photo: Jak & Jil

I bought this lacy piece on sale for $5 at H&M in November.  The store had a wall full of bras and underwear marked down as low as $3!  Wish I had bought more though I hardly ever buy lingerie.  But with a price like that, how can you resist?

no.9 bourbon vanilla & white tea

A gift that I received this holiday was a set of cutely packaged organic soy candles from the Lucia collection of a Montreal-based company, Pure Living.  It comes in a variety of food related scents, all sounding delicious, and each scent is given an individual number.  I got No. 9 Bourbon Vanilla & White tea and No. 5 Pomegranate & Redcurrant.  I've been lighting a lot of candles lately, so this was perfect!

friendship bracelets

Wouldn't it be fun to mix and match classic jewelry pieces with DIY friendship bracelets?  A great way to add colour and playfulness to an outfit.  I dug up some of my old friendship bracelets that I made years ago, hopefully, they still fit.  Some still unfinished.

leopard

Vintage blouse, Topshop heels, Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse bandeau and Topshop belt.

There is a certain sexiness associated to leopard prints.  A hint of leopard added to a simple outfit can really transform a look.

shopping

I found these satin heels while shopping with my sister.  Love the orange/mustard/brown colour combo, doesn't it give the shoe a vintage look?  Too bad it'll be hiding in my closet until the weather warms up again.  

The other two are my sister's purchases.  Lovely bottom detailing on both of these suede shoes.  The reptile textured heel and platform on the grey pumps is a nice contrast to the soft suede.  And I really like the thick wooden stacked heel on the brown booties plus the rubber lug soles, which will be functional for snowy days!
