Beautiful living spaces are all I've been thinking about lately.

a blue gem I found hidden in my mother's closet

How retro-ly beautiful is this knitted sweater? Not only is the colour a stunning shock blue but the left shoulder is covered in fur. I love! I'd wear this with black skinnies and plain black pumps.

My new shoes by LAUREN Ralph Lauren. When I tried them on in the store, I was surprised at how comfy they were. Comfort + height; that's a double rainbow right there!

This is the perfect summer look. An all white ensemble with silver heels. Fresh and simple but not boring.

And the hair, doesn't it remind you of Alexander Wang's SS11 runway look?

a moveable feast

I didn't get the Jeffrey Campbell shoes but what I did get was this leather jacket by A Moveable Feast at Aritzia. It's a very simple jacket with beautiful tailoring that flatters the body. Can't wait to wear it out. It just needs to get a smidge warmer here.

shoes to dance in while listening to billy jean

Oy, what a busy week! Ok. For a while now, I've been on a look out for a comfortable pair of loafers that I could wear every day. In particular, I wanted a flat with a bedroom slipper shape - think of Michael Jackson's Billy Jean look.  I tried on these flats by Jeffrey Campbell yesterday and thought they were quite nice.  A simple patent flat that felt comfortable however I wasn't sure how I felt about them and left them behind.  For now at least.

What do you think?

Friendship bracelets, yes! That's the way to make fun diy accessories look chic.  You can also read my past post about friendship bracelets here.

green and blue

The perfect colours to be wearing this spring.  I got these headbands from Holt Renfrew in Vancouver four years ago during the same time when the Prada turban from the S/S 2007 collection was the hot item.
