online wardrobe

oohhh haven't done these kinds of posts in a long time. i've been quite obsessed with online window shopping lately since i'm starting to look into possible gifts for the people in my christmas list. it's been so tempting because even though my main purpose is to find gifts for other people, i end up just filling up my own wishlist. selfish much? hahahaha!

love that denim bustier! would love to wear it with high wasted pants and skirts :)

thanks! i forgot to mention that i actually got that denim bustier from zara trf thru chic rewards. im totally looking forward to layering it with some tops and pairing it with some high waisted bottoms this season!! :D

the current wishlist

i know i know i promised an outfit post, but the weather has been nothing but rain, wind and gloom. when i got back from work, i was soaking wet in my clothes so i really have nothing decent to show you. :(

since i wouldn't want the day to pass by without posting anything, i thought i'd share with you some of the things that are currently on my wishlist. i know november is just coming up and i just did some shopping when i was away last thanksgiving so this is more of an advanced christmas wish list perhaps? hahahaha!

satchel bag, big enough for work

bowler hat in this style

soft-fabric blouses/shirts in different colors

some wedges wouldn't hurt (NOTE: on sale!!!!)

Hi hun! I actually really like this outfit. It's a great "daytime" look that could easily be transcended into the night by substituting the cardigan for, let's say, a leather jacket? And a different pair of heels?

P.S. Your food pictures kill me! Every. Single. Time. *drool*

thanks for the tip!!! you just reminded me that i need to take out my leather jacket already!! aaahh!!! it's been in my stuck in my f/w closet. ooohhh.. can't wait to wear them jackets and coats!

Don't Forget, Last day to Enter my Giveaway for Daniel Footwear!

shop JC for the cure!

aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! have you guys seen the newest Jeffrey Campbell shoes from their Fall/Winter collection!? i was browsing solestruck last night and found myself oooohhh-ing and aaahhh-ing at the new arrivals on the site. i still can't get over them. just look at those architectural wedges/heels/soles!!! aaahhh!!!

you see, i have enough black shoes to last me a whole season. whenever i go to the mall and look for shoes, i try to stay away from black pairs, just to keep my shoe collection more varied. but these babies are making me think twice. aaahhhh! im sure though that JC will come up of different fabrics, patterns and colors for these styles, i just have to be a bit more patient.

from top to bottom: brisbane, albierto, newmar, boot camp, oh yes, broome, christie, tasman

now, if you can design your own ideal JC shoe, why don't you try and join the contest chictopia is having right now. Jeffrey Campbell and Akira Chicago are collaborating to hold a contest where chictopians can share their designs for the next JC shoe. two winners get a chance to have a q&a session jeffrey campbell, get a pair of JC shoes and a pair of their winning design. more details can be found here.

this looks absolutely delish =] what I wanted to ask you was
1. Are you planning on going to the upcomming Chictopia summit?
2. I've searched in the Chictopia forums and now I'm wondering how does one become vip?

oh shucks, i wish i can go to the chictopia summit, but unfortunately i can't since i don't have a canadian passport yet (citizenship technicalities). as for being a vip, i believe either you get invited or you ask someone to accept your vip request.

so sorry for the hiatus. i've been running out of inspiration lately and have been too lazy to take photos of my outfit. it's a long weekend here but sadly i didn't have anything planned so for the most part i was just stuck here at home surfing the net. you know what that means to me? well, it means creating a wishlist of all sorts of items i see from my favorite retailers. hahaha!

As a rule, I hate harem pants and I can't believe I'm typing this but those honestly look pretty good. My mind is blown.

aawww thanks a lot! i was a bit sceptical when i got the harem trousers too, but i think i managed to find a way to make it work with my wardrobe and body shape.. plus, i really love the fabric and the color so i knew i had to keep it!
