HAPPY MONDAY AND A CHIC ENSEMBLE

A sneak peak at this week's main attraction, but first something less visual dear friends. Let's enjoy a chic update and hello, before we get visual!  

Happy Monday dear friends, hope you have a lovely start to the week?

Wow, it was a really busy week here.  A dear friend got married this week and it was a whirlwind of last minute activities to make her special day amazing.  I do apologize for saying hello late this past week, but I was thinking about you all.  I hope you will enjoy the company of someone dear today

Here is a peek at the gorgeous bouquet I caught last Saturday night. Maybe, I will be the next to step down the isle, but first I need to find Mr. Right. Somehow that seems harder than planning a special wedding day, n'est pas?

Now let's not wait any longer, here is the main attraction. For your viewing pleasure, a peek at my chic ensemble for this most special occasion, enjoy.

A CHIC MINIMALIST IS WEARING:

Animal print dress by H&M, White ostrich skin belt by Lauren-Nicole Designs, black shoes by David Dixon, and black handbag by Birks

Fine jewelry shown are some extra special favourites inherited from my paternal grandmother. An antique pink pearl necklace is paired with estate diamond and ruby earrings. Both special pieces are paired with an antique diamond ring and emerald ring, which are also special to my heart. 

Make-up is minimal and my hair is left down and simple. This look creates a stunning combination of elegance and simplicity, which was perfect for that very special night. 

Congratulations again to the lovely bride and groom. You are a beautiful and sweet couple, thank you for sharing that special moment. 

With my best wishes for a beautiful week my dear friends!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS DARLING, MEOW BOUTIQUE

Happy Monday dear friends, how are you? I hope you are enjoying the cooler weather and sunshine, whilst avoiding the Monday blues!

How was your weekend?  My adventures took me to the park with some dear friends. We had a great time watching swans and ducks play in the river and float along.  A trip to he park with dear ones is always perfect on lazy Sunday afternoons in July.  

Speaking of friends, my friends at MEOW BOUTIQUE are absolutely fabulous thanks to the amazing collection of sun hats in store this summer.  I choose a cloche style to protect my assets this summer.  The most affordable and effective solution to anti-aging is to protect yourself from sun exposure.  

My recommendation ladies is to invest in a perfectly chic sun hat 

from my darling friends at MEOW BOUTIQUE and stay protected from the sun this summer.  The gorgeous hats in store now for $28.00 each are surely a much more stylish investment to having a face-lift twenty years from now, which may cost in excess of $1,200.00.  I would rather treat myself to a designer handbag or two maybe something Chanel, Dior, or Louis Vuitton. Would you not agree?

 Let's protect our assets in style this summer, whilst staying chic with the help of the MEOW BOUTIQUE. 

Enjoy a close up look at how I styled my favourite chic sun hats in store now!

For your viewing pleasure, voila!

A CHIC CHAT, STARING THIS DRESS!

HAPPY SUNDAY dear friends,

Comment ca va?

This week was yet again an interesting one. There is always something new and exciting to share with you.  Life is to short my dear friends so please live every day to the fullest, with no regrets.  Take fashion risks along to way as well!  Sometimes you can find the perfect dress in the most unexpected of places. 

 Over the Canada Day holiday, some friends convinced me to tag along on their sale shopping adventures.  Honestly, I tried to stay away this year from the famous July sales, but this dress was such a temptress.  This chic little number, is surprisingly from H&M. Sometimes I mix some select pieces from H&M with higher end items.  This dress looks so chic and high-end.  The animal print feels so right this season, as well the fact that it is strapless is so perfect for the warmer weather upon us now.  A perfectly chic and effortless mix of high and low pieces is achieved with great balance when this dress is paired with some of my favourite fine jewelry pieces, including an Italian silver chain and diamond and ruby earnings.  Life is sometimes full of unexpected and pleasant surprises, take a peek this sale season at was is on offer, and you will be shocked the treasures you can find. 

For your viewing pleasure,  a peek at my chic little animal print dress.

Every young bright thing needs something fun and effortless n'est pas?
