MONDAY STYLE FILE #20

Oh yes! I'm having a girl crush moment with Carey Mulligan. 

I am just so in love with her style especially when she went blonde and started to channel her alter-ego Daisy Buchanan. Ever since then her style has went from comfy chic to timeless chic. 

EDITORIAL // VOGUE MAY '13

I don't think I've been this obsessed over a book to movie remake since... never.

I was so sad when the December release date got pushed to May. 

But next week, Great Gatsby FINALLY opens. 

And I'm excited to see the adaptation but even more excited to see...

the men looking dapper in Brooks Brother suits,

the women dazzling in Prada dresses,

and all of the sparkling Tiffany jewelries. 

So, to continue on my love for this movie... 

have you seen Carey Mulligan in the May issue of Vogue?

She looks absolutely divine and those couture gowns. 

Enough said.

DAILY OBSESSIONS // ZARA, AFFORDABLE RUNWAY

I, at times, obsessed over certain affordable brands. Right now, I'm coveting Zara's current collection. Inspired by the Spring/Summer runway, Zara's latest collection has all of it and the best part that it's affordable. J'adore and I want it all. Here are some of the looks that I would love to add to my closet :)

MONDAY STYLE FILE #19

After re-watching the seasons of Sex and the City. I got curious with The Carrie Diaries and surprisingly I'm hooked. Before there was the sex... before there was the city... there was just me Carrie - Carrie Bradshaw. This follows the life of Carrie Bradshaw in the 1980's - during her high school years. What I am more mesmerize as per usual is the fashion. Will the 80's fashion trend continue to slowly come back?

RUNWAY // LUCIAN MATIS FALL '13

The Lucian Matis was the second last show of Toronto Fashion Week and you know the saying "save the best for last" - well it holds true in this case. One of the most impressive runway showing to date. The show took place at an off-site location at the luxurious One King West Hotel. The collection was a combination of structure, minimalistic and luxury - all in one go. It was a surprising look because it was different from Matis' past collection but in any case, I am completely in love with it. Ball gown skirts and structured tops and to top it off unexpected fur lining - how can you not love it?
