It took me forever to find a pair of boots, but I finally did! Geox is doing a great sale right now, additional 25% on already reduced prices. Most boots are already 30-50% off!  These were 52% off, 30% + 25% of $325.  Depending on what your shoe size you could spend less than $200 and end up with a great pair of leather shoes. I can’t wear high-heels with no support anymore, so these are good because they have a small platform in the front and a thicker heel. Also, slight rounded pointy toe…

I’m selling a pair of old boots that I no longer want to wear, but these are in very good shape. Hardly any scuffs! Click on the picture to link directly to my auction.

Here were some of the other deals online but didn’t come in my size (I’m a 7). I was looking for boots that came up higher on my leg, without going over my knee. Good support and real leather.

1) Michael Kors Webster Boot – $149USD 2) Michael Kors Courtenay – $199USD

3) Chloe Boot – too expensive but gorgeous 4) Max Studio United – $199

Well.. because I’m a complete sucker for Romantic Comedies…. it’s the movie Valentine’s Day!

it’s reminiscent of He’s Just Not That Into You (HJNTIY) and Love Actually, it’s jam packed with many celebs including Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts, Taylor Swift, Anne Hathway.  It’s probably going to be extra cheesy with someone getting broken up with, but another finding love in a weird place…. if you’ve watched HJNTIY then you know the plotline with jilted Jennifer Connelly by Bradley Cooper for Scarlett Johansson.

See… Jennifer <3 Ashton –> blows her off

Ashton falls for Jessica

Jenn loses it on Valentine’s Day Pinata

Watch the trailer on the right, it’s fun!!!

So I guess the Rocker image won’t last forever and I can see that most designers are revamping this image by focusing less on chains and studs and progressing with more of a modern electric genre, Techno-Glam. More geometric art, keeping with leather for some matrix-sexy. Doesn’t this just scream trance trance baby?

My first blog post, thanks to mellow chick for inviting me into your circle. Enjoy!

Beyonce performed in London last Friday, for the “Hope for Haiti Now Charity” sporting another Balmain’s black crystal embellished canvas military jacket inspired by the late King of Pop. Although this is not your typical daily jacket costing $11,000 USD, it does however make its point, over-the-top art.

Michael Jackson borrowed and wore his mother’s black sequin jacket to perform  “Billie Jean” the first time in 1983. Beyonce dazzling in all sequins, looks like she is heading to a serious rock concert.

Balmain 2010 Winter: Can you say sequins are taking over or what! See sequins can be worn with class. I think Balmain has revolutionized the way we should wear bling, no more of that Hardy and Audiger please.

Since I’m supposed to be saving money for my wedding.. what better way to curb my shopping addiction (no really I’m trying) by taking a look at what’s probably going to start hitting the stores in the next few seasons. Note that Vancouver tends to be about a year late in the trends, sad but true. Let’s take a look at what to expect!

Prints are everywhere in vibrant blue/green hues!

BCBG Max Azria; sheer dresses paired with splatered patterns

Damn this could be the movie Avatar, maybe the sequel? Alexander Mcqueen has a sick mind!

Stella Mccartney showcasing splattered patterns as well but in rich flora/fauna colors

Jason Wu; psychadelic purple hues in rich shades of lavender and silver

Doo.ri; Muted prints in different softed color shades!

And then how to take it from Runway to Real Life — post to update soon!

Yegadz, new line by Jimmy Choo called Choo 24:7 showcasing all of the classic styles from the infamous shoe brand.  They’d still run a person an arm & a leg but so worth it! i completely adore this ad. Take a look at the new line, Jimmychoo.com! Here are some of my favorites:

Classic D’orsay Pump; great for work. Patent also gets dirty less easily.

Patent round-toe in beige/nude color. Nice for springtime when we don’t have to wear hoisery b/c it won’t be as cold anymore.

Gladiator pumps! Not so practical but so cute for going out!

Yargh if only I had 3g’s to spare.. sigh

If you’ve ever wanted anything that was original or unique.. that you could only find at those small boutiques were too darned lazy to hit the pavement and go looking. Well think no more, Try Etsy.com!!

It’s not just for clothing shopping either, I used it to try and find really neat stuff from my condo. To spruce up a dreary wall, try something like temporary wall decals with a touch of paint:

it’s also a great place to find antique furniture:

this one I found looked absoloutely awesome. so cool, now I can display all my booze for all to see!!

These toile pillows are absoloutely divine! I love Toile! I think my next post will be on this stuff : )

What’s a fabulous outfit without an equally supreme phone fit for a true fashion diva? White is definitely the new black in the cell phone world. These phones have truly set the bar for combining functionality with ultimate style.

Amongst my favourite:

iPhone 3 Year Plan - $199.99

The white on the iPhone which appears only in the back of the phone is a beautiful bright high gloss white.

Blackberry Bold 3 year plan - $99.99 No term - $649.99

This wildly popular and proven phone is now available in a stunning pearlized glossy white finish on the face with a luxurious white leather like surface on the back. Simply beautiful!

Nokia E71 3 Year Plan - $29 No Term - $449.99

The White Nokia E71 is my pick out of the three. The casing is steel instead of plastic like many other phones, with a chrome finish, giving it a truly sleek, modern look with a substantial expensive feel and weight. Definitely an eye catcher!

All phones are available at Rogers

If you’re anything like me, all accessories to come to my possession must be fashionable even when it comes to electronics. I’ve been searching for the perfect USB for a few months now as I grew tired of looking at the same old plastic black flash drives being sold in Future Shop and Best Buy.

Transcend USB Key - $26

Transcend carries a line of glamorous flash drives with metal bodies which are sleek with gleaming chrome cases specially designed for business travelers and stylish people who embrace trendy electronic gadgets.

You can also try these USB keys which can be purchased at Glamstyleonline.com in various color and patterns.

Okay so I looked for a nice winter coat for days just when the wind chill started to hit. And guess what – there always seemed to be some flaws in every coat I saw – expensive, too light, another black, design flaw…

I ended up getting something fairly nice in the end but if I had seen Blake Lively’s 3.1 Phillip Lim Grey coat during my shopping spree for a winter coat, I would’ve bought it without hesitation!! (Mind you Phillip Lim costs an arm and a leg)

Blake Lively’s outfit matched with a cute loose turtleneck sweater matched with patterned tights and over the knee boots also looks trendy with or without the coat. Similar patterned tights can be found anywhere and are great for chilly winter weather.

(From top left to right: Asos.com Gipsy Crochet Patterned tights – $11.05, Marc by Marc Jacobs Double Breasted coat – $545, A&E Cowl Neck Sweater – $29.95, Victorias’ Secret Over the Knee Boots – $129)

The creamy coloured bag is by Carlos Falchi Brooke Matte Caiman Tote that can be carried all year around. But as we all know such bags come with a price!
