Posh & Paisley

It's All Greek to Me

My adorable friend Golnar is planning her wedding. She's looking at a destination wedding in Greece, and trying to figure out the logistics of carrying out a very detailed Persian/French/Canadian wedding all the way overseas.

I suggested she hire a wedding planner that lives in Greece... preferably one that speaks a lot of English. In this day and age of gadgets and computers, it shouldn't be that hard to get a message across, is it?

She could plan to have all the flowers, table settings, photographers and all the fine-tuning taken care of. Oh and the cake, she can't forget the cake, so I think she should send specific instructions and pictures of what she would like.

(I certainly don't forget about cakes, and think that this cake design from Highlandbakery is just stunning... not to mention uber yummy looking... yummy.... y-u-m-m-y....)

Two Is Better Than One

  I happen to like this one shoulder dress from Urban Outfitters UK.

My very opinionated boyfriend likes to tell me that asymmetrical, one shoulder dresses remind him of Andre the Giant.

                           

Now you see the dilemma?

How am I supposed to feel sexy in a dress that conjures up images of a hairy beast of a wrestler?

I think I'll stick to wearing the conventional, double strapped variety. I hope I haven't deterred anyone else from purchasing these adorable dresses, they're just not for me you see.

Classic Chic

This bag is so chic and versatile that I can't help but think that it would match every outfit in my closet.

This great paisley carryall is carried by a company called Accessorize, and once upon a time, there were a few Accessorize shops here in Toronto. I don't know what happened, but it didn't last here for very long, and guess the only way I'm going to get my hands on it is to order it on-line.

I usually hate ordering clothes and bags off the web, since I'm a really tactile person and I like to get my paws on the fabrics and grommets, but I guess this time I have no choice but to suck it up and embrace the element of surprise that comes along with every web purchase.

Getting Noticed

I walked into Flight Centre today to see if I could find a cheap vacation for February. I need to get away to some sand and sun, or else I'm going to have a nervous breakdown.

I've even lost my perpetual tan and I probably need to guard against burning my skin now. I really like this poolside paisley tunic by Shoshana from shopbop.com.

You know, I just realized that I hate the captain that Flight Centre uses on all their advertisements. I even saw his ugly mug on the side of a transit ad for FC in Malaysia!

Everyone I have ever met hates the dude. But I guess like they say, any publicity is good publicity right?

What a Trip

I took a big tumble at work today. It was almost comical...I tripped over a squirrel and landed on my face, with one shoe flying in one direction, and the contents of my purse flying in another.

My wrist is still throbbing, and I've decided that it's not going to slow me down any, since my sweetheart has bought me tickets to the James Blunt concert tonight.

I will sit there with ice wrapped around my wrist if I have to, but there is no way I'd miss seeing that gorgeous crooner sing me a love song.

I think I should wear this Echo Avenue paisley scarf from Macy's, since it's really pretty and I could always wrap my arm up in a sling if I really needed to.

;)

Zzzzzzz

I'm sleep deprived.

I work crazy long hours, and all day long I daydream about my bed. Instead of normal dreams and fantasies of knights in Shining Armour, I dream of this paisley bedding in particular, and wish that I could spend more than five hours a night asleep.

It's a sad state of affairs. I know.

Find this chocolate paisley bedding at Bed Bath & Beyond. It's called the Luxe Mink Duvet by Raymond Waites and it rocks my world.

Sweet dreams.

 

Working Woman

I've started a new job.

Gone are the days of sand, sun and fun... instead I'm looking for corporate gear like this pencil skirt and top from Banana Republic.

As soon as things settle and calm down a bit, I'll be sure to post more regularly. For now I need to focus and get my footing before I can coast along. I hope you understand.

I sure miss you though, dear reader, do come back.

S

Famous!

So, Britney Spears and Sienna Miller have embraced their inner paisley.

A couple of months ago they were spotted wearing the same Chloe dress and I love the fact that Britney Spears actually looks better than Sienna. What's great is that this was way before Britney got her act together and sobered up, see how Paisley works wonders for everyone!

I am crossing my fingers and hoping that Brit Brit's got her groove back. The last time I saw her in concert was when I was 16, so I think it's time that I saw her again in all her glory.

I don't care what people say, but Britney is damn talented, and she's an awesome dancer... well she was... and I have strong faith that out there in LAlaland there is a record producer that can work magic and return her to the good ol' days. For now, I'm positive she can't go wrong if she lays off the moonshine and wears more paisley.

Dive Right In

I'm in need of a vacation. Bad.

It's been really hard for me since I quit working on cruise ships. For the last two years, I swam in the ocean daily, and now I have to wait for the next vacation opportunity like everyone else... life sucks people!

I'll tell you what doesn't suck. This paisley monokini by True Religion Brand Jeans absolutely does not suck and looks stunning. Mind you, I guess it really helps that this model has the most perfect body, but nevertheless, it's a sexy enough bathing suit to make up for any flaws anyone might have. Besides, she could really make do with a bit of meat on those bones.

This picture is from the 2008 collection in last year's runway show for Miami Fashion Week. I'm excited for what this year's Fashion Week will yield. Speaking of which, the Toronto L'Oreal Fashion Week is on right now, and runs till the 25th of October. If anyone has extra tickets, I make a great date! I clean up well and I don't talk through shows, what more can you ask for?

Just have your people call my people!

It's Wunderbar!

I'm off to Oktoberfest!

This is the venue and I'll be back in a few days.

Wish you could make it!
