Add some faux gems to your spring wardrobe with these affordable statement jewelry. The earrings below caught my attention. I saw “Bachelorette” Jillian Harris wear something similar on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”. Florals are huge this spring so wearing floral inspired jewelry is a way to update your look.
I guess compared to what Chanel charges, $75 is not a lot. But for temporary tattoos I can’t seem to justify spending that much.
From Chanel:
Les Trompe-L’Oeil de Chanel.
Fifty-five exclusive temporary tattoos in all, originally hand-drawn by Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, for the Spring-Summer 2010 Fashion Show in Paris. Artful images of CHANEL symbols and icons, including Oriental cherry blossoms and birds, can be mixed and matched for unlimited effects.
I like the idea and some of the prints are quite lovely. If I was considering getting a permanent tattoo this is a way to test out the waters before committing. I am just not sure if I want to pay for the entire set. It’s too bad you can’t just pick and choose what you like.

Private online sales offer designer goods for a fraction of the price. That is why I love them so much. Whenever I want something luxurious, I usually check the online sales first before heading out the the retail locations.
Today’s post is all about accessories. Elegant and chic TODS handbags and shoes at HauteLook.com, marked down to incredibly low prices. The flats that they have online are sooo lovely! Perfect for the office and for the weekends.
I am looking to add belts in my wardrobe. I have a couple of skinny belts but that’s about it. My concern with belts from a petite fashion perspective is that they tend to break up the silhouette. That being said I am thinking of getting a basic black belt (I’ll probably take it from T’s closet) and a wider belt with embellishments.
The video below shows a few options on how to wear belts. It basically explains how to take a basic shift dress to a new level by giving it a fresh look with a belt. I really like the leather and chain belt that they used and the cardigan/thin belt look is so cute!
Fashion tip: It is not always necessary to match your belt with your shoes.

One of the things that I love about going to the States is being able to visit a Kate Spade retail location. I love the simple lines, modern design and BRIGHT colours. The items are also less expensive compared to other designer bags. I went to the the Fashion Show Mall location in Las Vegas and I loved the sales associate’s outfit. She wore a simple short sleeved black dress, a long, single strand of white beads, black flats and bright pink tights. It was such a fun and chic outfit. I wish that I had taken a pic. The Kate Spade collection is perfect for anyone who is looking to add a splash of colour to their wardrobe (or who just loves pretty and girly things like moi!)
I want this in green and pink.
Cute footwear!
Colourful Bangle
Kate Spade is available at certain shops in Canada. I love the accessories! They seriously need to open a store front location here.

I’ll be flying home soon so regular programming will resume. Thanks for your patience! XOXO
