Just like Alice in wonderland, We will tumble into a Fall wonderland..

I love fall, bright skies, an air of allure, romance and excitement, and something we all amour cashmere and the boots Yes, the boots.

Oh ya , the sound of leaves crunching under foot while wearing these boots…
Chunkier the better, wedges will carry on into fall, in all textures and skins, leopard and metallic are back and divine, the higher the heel is fall 2010.

Here are a few things any women any size should be slipping her self into.
I must say one of my fave trends, Models with curves on the catwalk, Fall 2010 shows were all about the curves, I’m pleased.

The new Black?

Khaki,
Yep, Khaki was all over spring and summer, so bring those cargo pants and jackets into fall.

you can also spring into fall with the miniest of mini dresses, cigarette leg pants, boyfriend jackets, much-needed femininity in the form of lace and chiffon from your spring wardrobe.

My all time fave lingerie jumps over to daywear for fall with dresses and blouses in completely sheer fabrics. And yes the corset is back..

Shopping your closet, how post-recessionary of you

Fashions for fall range from classic glamour, free spirited sheers, and wide leg pants, chic menswear-inspired pieces, and the skin of choice for fall is of the patent variety in black or brown.

In addition, Fall makeup is full of plums and grays, for your eyes and nails.

work, play, and everywhere your heart desires.

Ankle boots and a luxe fur(faux or real, up to you) add a dose of sexy to your winter knits. Corset dresses are in full swing.

fall trends to try now, Wide legged pants if there well cut your legs will look a mile long, with platforms oh so Charlie’s angles 70’s
- graffiti prints(alternative to your summer florals)
- a leather A line mini to toughen up your pretty sheers
Finally yet importantly, Rose buds large and small are the embellishment of choice. In hair, on tops…..Everywhere, Oh so girlie.

So there you go Ladies, you have a closet of happy clothes. I know it seems a little frivolous in these troubled times, but do you really think dressing like a slob will make anything better!

Sorry to do this to you, but my my fashion senses are tingling again.
I am going to talk about fall.

Yep, fall 2010, I know, we just finish winter
And now we have Blush anything + denim + a dad bit of floral = SPRINGTIME!
and I amour spring and all it's beauty..

….But after the mini floral dresses and nail color that would make any of us giggle like a school girl.

It’s my have time of year again
Fall …
and it's going to be just fabulous.

Here are a few things I will be slipping my petite self into.

The big trend alert of the season. Khaki, so yes, the khaki cargo pants you’re wearing now will be perfect for fall also.

Shopping your closet, how post-recessionary of you

Anything Grey and camel….yes, they go together. The new Black?

Finally yet importantly, A Slim Cargo pant…with heels, the higher the better is the 2010 way.

Happy Sunday to you .

As 2010 started, we all decided on some kind of resolution to do something or other…

Stop smokin
Eating else
Exercise…(very over rated in my eyes)
Love more
Or maybe love less

Mine, very simple..

Stop questioning…. just listen and live my life.

So far,

I’ve met new people ,some good ,some behaving badly.

I’ve looked out side the box, kinda scary…..WOW, I’m not right all the time

Bought a fab pair of boots, my heart is still a flutter…..Amour (As it being 2010 and tryin to be frugal and all, Sale Sale Sale!!!!!!)

And to bring more pretty into my world

pretty flowers.
pretty Paris…..( see you in the Spring)
Cupcakes & pretty shoes
pretty dresses.

And to spend a lot more to time with the one’s I adore.

See you soon,

Xx

I, Kelly……..
Know It's really hard to walk in a single woman's shoes -- that's why I think (I know) sometimes you really need special shoes!” or a smoking bag
And Yes, there are some women put in this world just to make you feel bad about yourself?”

Screw them, jealous that’s all…..
Just flash them your single girl smile, and enjoy your girlfriends
sip chilled pinot, nibble on margarita pizza where everything is noisy and alive, and where everyone is making fashion their own
Platform shoes a mile high, chunky bracelets and necklaces, vivid printed tops and dresses and the chicest bottoms in skinny or cropped
But please ladies mixing too many trends are just fashion road-kill….so buyers beware!!!!!

And while you’re sitting enjoying the moment or shopping for those really special shoes you just may find that someone to love you, just the way you are……….

And that’s just fabulous.”

Things that made me say ahhhh this week…….

2009-06-15T05:57:00.000-07:00

First it started off the sweet smells of Gucci Flora

Then,

A enticing turquoise silk skirt by Oasis that made my heart go a flutter…. before I knew it the bow-detail at the waist made me giggle like a school girl.

A summer must,

Over sized sunglasses tres chic on my petite face.

White jeans, with a killer pair of sandals. Don’t leave home without them!

Ever girl needs to sip cocktails with her fav girlfriends,

and Moroco @ 99 Yorkville is the pace to be… chocolate, lovely patio décor & The owner is a doll!

……………… last but not least Bday wishes with some of my top 5 ……Star gazing on the roof top Patio & Ultra….

Wow this week has been tres chic & cheeky all in one multi coloured pkg….

Good nite,

Xx

Spring lovin......

2009-06-01T17:35:00.000-07:00

It’s happen again, I fell in love

Heart racing kinda love……….

Sky-high Heels, colours & prints that will make you dizzy with optimism and the sun!

It’s spring, Sun drenched elegance just waiting for the enjoying..

Here is what I J’adore.

The smell of Floral by Gucci

Pear Ice cream from Desert Lady on Cumberland Street (Skinny jeans not so skinny any more, 4 scoops last week, yum!)

Luminous skin & glossy gloss

Sipin cocktails on a patio, with the girls & watching the boys walk by

And for just kicking it, skinny jeans or boyfriends with a tote & a little bucket hat from the Gap, very Sunday brunch don’t you think?

Accessories, but this spring don’t make them match your outfit, mix it up…
With belt tightening upon us get creative without spend lots of $$.

Shades, to block the sun or to fix bad hair days, anything 70’s inspired is so 2009.

And yes. Beautiful shoes, Open toe & my fav the overly embellished beauties that Keep them asking & Holt’s has many for the asking.

Striped shirts, anything floral & dots of all sizes

So along with sunscreen, lip-gloss & a whole lot of optimism, this is the season to be free.

Life & Spirit,

Here is a story of a lovely girl....

Who is thrilled that spring will be peaking its sunny little head our way any day now.

Bringing with it mini skirts, boxy blazers, nude colored hues and (Yippee!) platform shoes, oh my!!!

But most importantly, I’m thrilled with all the women I have surrounded my life with.

A mother, sister, realtor, accounted, office manager, fashion blogger, a few girls and 2 guys that love vitamins, student, buyers assistants and the list goes on. Some of these ladies are barely 5’4, but giants nonetheless in my eyes.

I honestly think with the mess of the world and our incredibly shrinking pocketbooks we need to surround our selves with lots of love, strength of others, good vitamins and laughter. And hey-- if a glass or 2 of merlot helps, then I say santé!

The strong will survive!

Shoes and the Single Girl…….

This is how it happened.

I fell in love.

Yes, in love…heart racing, couldn’t wipe the smile off my face kind of love...

With a pair of lace 4 inch heeled peep toed size 6 D & G pumps @ Holt Renfrew’s now or never sale.

I know this may sound a tad sad to those of you in real relationships, But as a single girl shoes make me very very happy, only until Mr. Wonderful or even Mr. Maybe comes along, who am I kidding? I J’adore my shoes, it’s my thing!!

Trying to be very 2009 and frugal, I handed back the shoes that were on sale for $269, yes, I know a steal, but this is after all 2009 and slipped mes tres petits pieds into a sensible pair of Michael Kors black patent pumps with the cutest bows on the toes. And get this, on sale for $49.

With bag in hand and the cell number of the very cute salesman (I’m pretty sure it was only to appelez if I wanted the D&G shoes to be put on hold).

I left Holt’s a very happy single girl with new shoes and a few extra dollars in pocket.

Black with what?

2009-02-16T17:26:00.000-08:00

What do I wear with this?

Is what this 50 something women said, as I handed her a pair of black pants. (Yes, I work in a btq part time; a girl needs to keep beautiful clothes in her closet)

When did women become so depended on others to dress, with every color under the rainbow, frills and ruffles to the neck, I’m guessing with the blur of all that is beautiful, & the bargain bling of ’09,it can be very confusing…

But black with what????

My addictions are finding freedom in layers of knits, prints, ruffles, cashmere and cropped skinny pants (love!).

And if that doesn’t work ladies, take two risks and go see your fave sales associate in the morning.
