Seasonal Luxuries

I was surfing on MODELS.com and found this fabulous post on how each fashion house has different visions and perspectives of luxury. In fact, the most prominent seasons for luxury items are the fall/winter campaigns.

"For Armani, the season’s look is all about elegance and classic refinement, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott's image of Edita Vilkeviciute in scarlet is the perfect representation of that."

"YSL offers another take on refinement with its cool Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin helmed campaign featuring Daria Werbowy. Sporting a jet black bob and lots of eyeliner, Daria looks oh so chic and slightly mod."



"Dior offers up the wildest variant of luxe with Karlie Kloss looking positively bohemian in a shot by Steven Meisel, the wild hair and eclectic ensemble look incredible on Karlie and capture the spirit of Galliano’s spirited collection."



Which ad is your favorite? 
Mine is Dior, Karlie totally rocks it.

Just the maxi focus

OOTD time! I had a party to go to and it was pouring rain outside. Even though it is summer, I find rainy days deserve long sombre colored maxis :) I decided to transform the dress into a long maxi skirt because the top part of the dress is extremely tight on my bust area to the point that I feel it is going to rip apart. Thus, maxi dress becomes max skirt!

Blue florals

Hello my dear readers! Another OOTD posted. I had to go to work and it was 43 degrees outside, As you can imagine with such temperature rises, the humidity is almost unbearable, quite shocking to be this hot in Canada. Oh well, I guess summer has definitely come!
Outfit: skirt-Old Navy (4 years old), shoes-gift, top-forever21, belt-h&m, earrings-forever21.

Those pictures are absolutely gorgeous.

Afternoon in the park

Hi lovelies, here is another OOTD. I went to Ottawa, Canada's capital city, with my family and the weather was absolutely stunning. Perfect for pictures. My outfit is super casual just because we had to walk quite a bit.

Let's sail away

I have been sailing around Polyvore and Harper's bazaar for some nautical themed pictures. The trend is classy and chic and trust me when I say that no matter the summer year or century, it will always be in. Maybe with a twist each time! Don't be afraid to purchase nautical themed fashion items or accessories because you will be finding yourself reaching for them every single summer. Get inspired and sail away!

xoxo,
