Rompers are big this season for you and for your little one. I have an impression that they are as big as maxi dresses lately. I’m not blaming them, what can be a better weekender? Stylish, practical and suits almost everything you already have.
Dasha Zhukova and Christina Tang founded their ‘anti-jean jeans’ company in 2006. It was all about style without a fixed description and pointing out what should be worn and done to become ’stylish’. Founders are influenced by their surrounding cities, Moscow and London for Dasha and Los Angeles and China for Christina. Can you see Moscow and Los Angeles in this one?

Don’t lose your chains, get a good use of ‘em!
This is my first look when all the pieces are key pieces. Platform Flower Wedge by Chloe, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, and the denim dress by Stella McCartney make my heart go faster. And don’t forget about the bow hat, Annick Goutal perfume and the glasses.
ps. I’m sure your mom will be happy to borrow your perfume, Annick Goutal is ageless.
What is summer time for you? Just sun? Outdoors? Bright hues? Often outfit changes (I loathe spending time on switching my purses. May be I’ll get backup keys and cosmetic bags for all of them.)? Vacation time? Yes, all of those are included plus it’s wedding season Although I’m not getting married this summer, I’m starting looking for a nice bridesmaid outfit, just in case. And don’t forget about an uncommon gift. Steiff bear is a do.
It’s unusually nice and warm outside. Calm, almost sunny day. I’m dreaming of the seashore instead of chores. Do you remember that Chris De Burgh’s “Sailing away” song?
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
Sailing away, with you tonight, with you tonight
I guess I have to get a chores chart for myself. Or may be follow the flow and get a nice sailor outfit.
Last December I got a nice, hot and stylish Canada Goose Expedition parka in black from Holt Renfrew in Toronto, Canada. I liked it so much (hey, who wouldn’t when it was minus 15C outside!) so I decided to get it in red too. My reasoning was the following: it’s good for every day use, coyote fur kind of adds some flirting sense to it, but black is so classic, I want to get the same quality thing but in different color. For this particular model I remembered bright red and shiny steel in almost every size in store. But remember, I decided it almost two months later. Of course, they didn’t have the parka in store. Moreover, they did not have the entire fur and winter coats section in store at the end of January because spring styles just arrived.

Canada Goose business model is the same that for any other upscale merchandise, it never goes on sale. They also have the same models over and over again every season, adding only different colors and some limited-edition versions every year. Why not sell it all-year-round? Ok, I want too much, but what’s the reason to stop selling it in January? I may want a new winter coat till the end of winter, may be till the end of March. Sure, I enjoy to see what I’ll get in spring and summer before the seasons come, especially if the palette is appealing (read ‘no dark hues, no office style, lots of silk and linen’), but I cannot wear it now. Don’t get that model, ‘buy now, wear later’.
The story ended happily, I got the second one on-line. You can jump on the bandwagon on-line now, when the normals outside range from plus 3C to plus 13C and you, your kid or partner need some outerwear. Happy hunting tho, not every size is available. But there are sales

Just got Diamond Stripe Pants by Marc by Marc Jacobs in the mail. They are better than on the picture, silk is a very high quality and the colors are vibrant and oh-that-so-80ish bow, like it. Happy about the purchase overall, but don’t have anything in my wardrobe to match it with. Let’s start with the drop-them-dead look.
