CURRENT TREND - Animal Sweater

(Burberry)

(Givenchy)

(Kenzo)

(Topshop)

(Asos)

One of my favourite fall trend is animal print sweater!  I love the coziness and the youthfulness of a casual oversized crew neck paired with a tiger face (I'm bias since Ayden is born in the year of tiger).

And if spending a couple of hundred bills for a jumper a little steep for you, try the trend with the selection of animal sweaters at Asos (panda, deer, owl, tiger, you name it!) for less than $60!

MILITARY

(Elle Canada November 2012)

One of the things that gets me excited about winter (other than the holidays i.e. holiday indulgence) is definitely shopping for a new coat!  And my favourite style is definitely that utilitarian chic, especially if it comes with fur & leather trimming!!

Too bad this season, I won't be getting a new coat (I really don't think it's appropriate to get a chic fitted double breasted coat when I'll be double busting out of anything remotely fitted...).  But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the styling!

OBSESSION DU JOUR - Celine ID Necklace

Celine gold ID chain necklace.  I've been seeing on fashion editors, trying it on at Barney's and now obsessing over it for the past 6 months!  Just my kind of heavy metal.

OUTFIT DU JOUR - Too Hot

I was just about to head out with leggings and boots only to realized that it's way too hot today!  I'm not sure if I'm just too eager to sport fall wear or I'm just starting to run out of summer outfits to accommodate my ever growing belly...

Anyways, I quickly switch into a pair of shorts (barely fitting my new waistline) and ballerina flats.  Ah...much better!

Happy tuesday!

CHEAPIE MONDAY - H&M Ear Cuff

When shopping for eyebrow embellishment to recreate that Swan Makeup I blogged about a few days ago...but look what I found instead?!?

Gold spiked ear cuff with chain that attaches to a hair clip!  Coolest piece of jewelry for under $15; talk about bang for your buck!

Maison Martin Margiela X H&M Lookbook

(MMM X H&M lookbook)

Take a first look at the upcoming collaboration of Maison Martin Margiela and H&M due to be released on November 15th.

If you like the deconstructed tailoring and avant-garde styling of MMM, this is your chance to pick up a few pieces at high street pricing!  Personally, I'm eyeing on those burgundy clear plexiglass wedge boots and the black leather glove coin bag.  As for the actual clothing, I might have to pass...oversize coats and dresses only look good on skinny girls...not for preggers!

BEAUTY TREND - Swan Makeup

I'm in the midst of organizing a big birthday party for my best friend who's turning 30!  Obviously, we're going for a theme party (they're always more fun!!) of Black Swans White Swan (BSWS).  The idea is that all the guests are dressed as black swans and the birthday girl as white swan.  So, we should be expecting lots of feathers, tutus and bling costume-like dresses!

And look what I just came across?!?  Swan makeup by Timothy Hung!  Look at the embellished eyebrows, the upper and lower falsies and that winged smokey eye!!!  I LOVE IT!

Now, where can I get a makeup artist that can replicate this...

LANVIN X Ladurée

Anyone that knows me also knows that I have a sweet tooth.  In fact, I'm always willing to give up my main course in exchange for dessert!!!

Although I usually favour dark chocolate desserts, I simply cannot resist rainbow coloured macaroons...especially if it comes in a Lanvin box!  Alber Elbaz collaborated with the House of  Ladurée to offer us a iconic sketched faces print box of eight bubble gum flavoured macaroons!

Sweetness and style is always a perfect match!
