514 Outfit Post – Montreal Architectural Treat

Posted in 514 Outfit Post, accessory, designer, DVF, Fashionista, makeup, montreal by fashionista514 on August 21, 2009
Beauty is inevitably all around the 514…
I’ve been cruisin‘ around in the convertible as of late with the top off, and well… you can really see the world! Look up! Look up! For the first time in a long time I am becoming more and more aware of the beautiful commercial buildings of the downtown 514. Couldn’t help but scope out some fresh cut fashion while I was at it… besides, everything IS relative…

… proof that Gareth Pugh is a GOD…

Shapes, forms, raw materials… be it a building or a dress, the same formula applies to the aesthetic equation…

I wouldn’t even believe you if you told me you have seen clothespins look more glamorous than in the pic above… I wouldn’t even believe you…

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

-Coco Chanel-

“Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.”

-Christian Dior-

“I don’t understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little – if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that’s the day she has a date with destiny. And it’s best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.”

-Coco Chanel-

Day a definite success :)

Retro Glam Sparkle!

Posted in accessory, fashion, lipstick, makeup, online shopping by fashionista514 on April 9, 2009
Here are some personal pieces I put together to create a retro glam look – with a walk on the modern side (confused by my contradiction yet!?). I adore the colour black. In a patent shine, soft leather, faded out denim, sparkling or satin finish – black is multi-faceted and very versatile.
I scored these over the top chandelier earring diamond look alikes at Aldo for $30.00. I love pairing them with the faux diamond chunky ring (below) $25.00 (Aldo), jeans, and some killer heels… top it all off with black winged eyeliner and sexy is mine!

Around Christmas last year I treated myself to this gorgeous Gucci watch. I wear it like it is jewellery – not a watch. I love that it isn’t bulky and carries the brands signature horse bit trademark into its styling. One of my investment pieces!

The jewelled clutch which I snatched up from Nine West is another undeniable favorite and instant classic to my life. Altogether, this combo calls for a slick martini and MAC’s russian red lipstick to pull it all off ;)

You will see me sparkle from a mile away ;)

Louis Vuitton Organiser

Posted in accessory, fashion, organized by fashionista514 on April 8, 2009
Who knew staying organized could be so stylish? Last year (in October), I bought this Louis Vuitton Damier print agenda as a good omen for the upcoming year. I figured, as a young professional in the fashion industry I would need to look sharp and have all my shit together. Enter gorgeous agenda…
You know what… I was right – since the year has started it has always been filled to the brim! When I do not want to fill my bag with the brick that is my wallet (waaaay too many cards and membership shit), I put my plastic in the slots in the front and off I go!

It is a sanction away from palm organizers and blackberries that seem to only harrass you with who poked you on facebook….arg! Everything I need is in here… no dying battery, SIM card, or text confusions… simplicity!

This one was a limited edition print with illustrations of the famous Louis Vuitton trunks and luggage. Pages are replaceable in the format of your choice (weekly or daily), and edged in gold :) Love it!

Bling Up Your Bra!

Posted in accessory, diva, fashion, giveaway by fashionista514 on April 6, 2009
Alright, I had to share this with all the ladies out there! I found the most awesome bra straps at LaSenza during the week… Rhinestones for all them Divas out there!!!
They hook onto your classic strapless bra (the one I am wearing is also from LaSenza) and bring a beautiful sparkle to anything you wear. Anyways, hope my nakedness isn’t too indecent for y’all out there – just really wanted to show how awesome they are! Anyways, if an actual bra is too risque for you, just imagine it as a bikini top ;) .

LaSenza, Montreal’s Victoria’s Secret:
Have fun ladies… and stay tuned – I’m thinking of picking some extras up for giveaways… what do you think?

I HATE YOU!!!!
