Glamourous, USA

 
 
Ralph Lauren: Canadian Polo, GO CANADA!

White Jeans: Devinbird, Grey Leather Jacket: Winners, Michael Kors Fringe: Saks 5th Avenue, Dolce Vita Egyptian Sandals




Whats not glamorous about lobster helpings bigger than your new cat eye sunglasses, valet parking at the mall, private yachts that could fit my house inside of them and beaches filled with tanned retirees. Fort Lauderdale, Florida.... the place to be when you hit 65. For those under the average age, I would maybe recommend a more...modern (no pun intended) place. Nonetheless, reading week was relaxing, sunny, beautiful and very satisfying in the shopping department. A few key items were purchased to add to my new summer wardrobe (following all of my rules). 

Rules: No black, lots of textures, jean, jean, jean, floral, whites, nudes, pales in every shade. 

Now the trick will be to save the special ones for summer and incorporate the extra special ones into slushy, snowy, Canadian weather. Being back in Ottawa has made me loath the feeling of wool socks and wellies....

Countdown to summer begins now.

V-Day

Happy Valentines Day!

I hope you all had..whatever you wanted out of the day! Romantic gestures, burning pictures, kissing, crying or none of the above.  What is valentines day anyways? Whatever you want it to be.

 I did not celebrate too much as long distance relationships restrict that, however, if I was to celebrate, I would rock the black and white trend, mixed with a little festive red!

Wanted: Chic Clown Pants


My crazy friends were right again. (ATTENTION FASTER EARTH)

My lovelies and I did a crazy shoot on some random train in The Middle of Nowhere, Canada and I thought they were just crazy for making me put these on. But now, all day and all night I find myself lusting after a pair of pants just like these. . However, I would prefer that they were not red with sequin stripes (sequin stripes not visible in picture). 
I tried on a few pairs a while back and they either seemed to make me look like a clown, or a horse. And not a chic clown or horse, so chic clown/horse pants- where ever you are, find me!

Maybe these are good Valentines Day pants?
I think I might go a bit more conservative for that outfit. 

Love, Shopahallic.

Too Cool for Canada

Yes, this is our closet. 

Bon Voyage K. 

Canadian lawyer goes global. Paris, rest of world, look out. With her style, they'll give her the trophy before she makes her leading statement. But still, good luck!

While she's too cool for us, Im just too cool for homework. Literally drowning in it, but can't stop day dreaming about the other half of the world. Until I write my conclusion on "technological nationalism" I'll distract myself with old photos. 
Hopefully this post will distract one particular, french law student, lonely in her classes ;)
