*~Office Chic~*

i went to watch the tourist with a friend today and it was surprisingly good (funnier than i thought) given that the movie had been reviewing okay reviews... anyway i thought i had finished my holiday shopping BUT i found this super amazing dress (very nice fit and looks classy) at forever 21 (very banana republic style but at a fraction of the price!) - highly recommended!! i've been looking for a dress like that for awhile but didn't want to pay $200 at banana republic since their fit doesn't really look that good on me (even petite is too long and their sizes run big sometimes)...


also as i was browsing the site...i came across another dress that is very work frdly as well...i might be getting that one if i see it in stores (i don't really like ordering online since forever 21 ships with purolator which is a pain...bad service i've experienced *sigh*)

*~Black Patent Heels~*

so i've been looking for the perfect patent heels for like forever~~being a true size 5 that i am...it's quite hard for me the buy heels that actually fit since most stores either carry size 6 or up or runs big...or is just incredibly painful since i am totally not a heels kinda girl... finally today i found the perfect pair and for a super fab price too!! i love pointed toe and the shape of the shoes are just super cute and sexy and i need them to be of reasonable height~~ surprise~~they're from payless...i paid CAD$37.99+tax for them and they're super comfy and looks much more expensive than it is...and it's super hard for me to find comfy heels that actually FIT my true size.and has a lower than 3-inch heel.. a little *GRR* when i found out they're only USD$22.99 for u lucky lucky u.s. ppl - totally does not reflect the current exchange rate (almost double what i paid essentially)...but i still love them and think they're a great deal since options are quite limited in canada... i think all you girls should get a pair...esp if you don't already own a pair patent black heels!! perfect for work and just any casual or dressy outfit~~what more can u ask for right? again i've been looking for the perfect patent black heels for like forever and willing to pay over $100 for them...so i'm super glad i found these!!
btw they also come in patent red (on sale right now for only USD$11.00 OMG) and leopard (USD$24.99)...but i think patent black def. looks the best!

*~Earmuffs & Holiday Party Update~*

I did end up splurging on those pink burberry earmuffs and I'm super glad I did!! It's my new love...and keeps me super warm for the holiday season n_n I went to my company's xmas party yesterday and since my "dress" budget went out the window with the earmuffs...i just wore a black dress with a sparkly white bow belt instead~~

here are some cute coats I came across on ebay - each around $100...seems pretty cute but i don't know if they're warm enough for toronto winter!!

*~Holiday Parties~*

so my office holiday party is this Saturday but i still haven't decided on a dress *yikes* LOL it's too late for me to order online now BUT I did come across some decent deals (even some on sale!) if you girls need some ideas for your holiday parties!

Classic Short Dress W/ Bow - USD$24.80
cute and simple and the black and white classic colour works for an office party


again if you're looking for something simple...this adds a lil bit of style without embellishments which i personally don't really like

this is again very classy...and actually more suitable for just work as opposed to a party but u can definitely dazzle it up with a statement necklace

elegant and super cute...just makes you feel like a princess~~

bow! what more can i say LOL plus i like the colours!


this is perfect for a casual holiday get-together with frds! stay adorable n_n

*~Burberry Earmuffs~*

got my exam results yesterday and i passed!! yay!!
so i dropped by yorkdale for a celebration dinner and saw these adorable burberry earmuffs!! AH i have been looking for earmuffs...and these are perfect!! except...it's CAD$200+tax...i don't know if i should go back for them - it is a tad pricey but...you know my love for burberry! and it's not tacky like the fluffy earmuffs u see everywhere...but i'm just not sure if i'll get enough use out of them~~so...what do you think??

A cosy earmuff with a soft, padded band a subtle check pattern at ears - cashmere/wool
i saw this on ebay which shows the colour a lil bit better?

*~Unexpected Hiatus~*

omg...i haven't blogged in forever~~totally unexpected hiatus x_x due to how busy i've been at worked *SIGH*~~ so i'm a little disappointed about the forever 21 x minnie mouse collection...the cardigans and sweaters just don't look right but the accessories are adorable...here are some of my picks!

Muse Nameplate Necklace - USD$5.80 or CAD$6.80
this is my favourite from the collection...great price for this necklace~~



Minnie Muse Rossette Earmuffs - CAD$7.80
i've been shopping for the perfect earmuffs~~these look super cute~~hope they don't look too "out there" in person haha...
Minnie Mode Graphic Tee - USD$13.80 or CAD$16.80
just love how the tee went with a simple black skirt~~reminds me of the style i saw in London UK when i was there last summer n_n


i also love these heels...loving the cute bows...and a great choice for a holiday office party~~



Btw...i highly recommend checking asos.com...since they've worldwide FREE shipping (perfect for us Canadians who always get shafted on any type of shipping discount deal) + 20% off their asos collection (use "ASOS20" code)!! here are some items on my shopping list n_n n there are some good sale items too~~!

*~Forever a Juicy Girl~*

my love for juicy couture is back~~with their new collection n_n i'm quite impressed...i love just how super girly juicy couture is...here's some stuff that really caught my eye!
btw they've a friends & family event going on both online and in stores from 11/10/2010 to 11/17/2010 - just enter code "FFNOV" :)
i'm hitting the closest mall to me that has a juicy couture store (yorkdale mall) friday night hoping that the daydreamer is not sold out...becoz that's #1 on my list and at 30%!! *wish me luck*

POLKA DOT CLUTCH - USD$228.00
i absolutely love this~~its so pretty and perfect for any holiday party!! if i find the perfect dress to go with this...i might consider it~~but personally i just don't use clutches at all since i'm afraid it's easy to use...


POLKA DOT CHAIN MINI BAG - USD$148.00
this looks cute...and reminds me of something that i would see from a japanese magazine... the price is a little steep tho...i hope to find a similar look for less soon~~


LUXE POLKA DOT DAYDREAMER BAG - USD$398.00
ah i love this!! giant bow...from the picture...this looks a lil smaller than your normal daydreamer...ah i really wanna see it in person...i hope the gold chain doesn't throw it off...if it looks perfect for me...i'm totally getting this~~with the 30%~~


POLKA DOT WRISTLET - USD$98.00
the colours remind me of holiday...coach has really been a let down lately...so if you love this type of wristlets...i would recommend this one from juicy couture!


POLKA DOT CONTINENTAL CLUTCH - USD$128.00
ah i've been wanting a wallet for awhile...so this is one alternative for me...most likely i'll go with something more highend...but still...i'm a sucker for polka dot and baby pink...

*~Belated Birthday~*

ah i totally missed my frd's birthday since she's living out of town now and really not active on fb (no excuse but...i just can't rmb phone #s or birthdays...) so now i'm picking out a gift for her~~
i've a few necklaces picked out from tiffany's...i really wanted to get her something there since it's timeless and classy and since both of us started working last year...it's just a great staple to build for an office wardrobe...plus it can be dressed up/down n_n

so here are what i've narrowed down so far...so what do you girls think?

*~On Borrowed Time~*

fellow blogger nitro:licious has all the Lanvin x H&M collection featured including prices~~i have to say out of the entire collection...the pumps are too adorable to pass up for $99...the other dresses and coats are a lil bit too over the top for everyday wear for my taste....



ah i'm finding that ever since i started working...i never have enough time for anything else~~
i've been looking for a more professional looking watch for a lil while...i don't particularly like metal so that leaves me with not a lot of choices...but i've a soft spot for white watches~~here are some of the styles i like...




i found a really good look for less alternative n_n for only USD$18~~
