Soft grey 2007-03-12 15:35:00 Grey in its soft and light form is a great color to wear into the spring and summer. The key is that the texture and shape of the clothes are flowy and drapey to give it a breezy easy-going understated sexiness, which I love.Graham & Spencer Crew Neck Short Sleeve Top $152Grey Ant V Neck Tunic $440James Perse Smocked Empire Heather Cami Dress $138Crochet Trim Tank in Excalibur Grey $92Walter Linen Full Pocket Skirt $188. LOVE this skirt! It's the perfect length for work and play.
Continue searching for Paris-worthy things 2007-03-14 00:12:00 I'm still looking for a bag to take with me to Paris
. And I'm also looking for shoes!! I was telling my guy that I need 7 new complete outfits, including bags and shoes to take with me to Paris. No foolin'! I really need some cute stuff to wear.For shoes, I think I would do much better with flats. We'll be walking a LOT, I would die in heels. Even wedges would probably be too hard on my feet. So a pair of cute comfortable flats is a must. I saw these and immediately got a parisian feeling from them. I'm very tempted to get them. My only problem is they'll probably lose the crispness, which was what drew me to them in the first place, after a day of walking.Open Front Ribbon Flat Shoes $38.This one is really cute and girly. It should stand up to much walking and beating. Bejeweled Front Flat Shoes $52I also like these silver Tory Burch knock-off flats too. Decisions decisions. Libby Flat $36

Hidden heart 2007-03-13 18:18:00 Calf Dot Open Toe Pumps $50When I first saw this polka dot pump, I was instantly taken by its cuteness, the red heel and the golden lining. Imagine my delight when I saw the red shiny heart hidden inside the sole! I know nobody will see it when you are wearing the shoe, but you know it's there and I bet you'll feel extra sexy. Hope it's also comfortable :)

Like an exquisite painting 2007-03-13 14:46:00 Treescape Pleated Tank in White-Almond $216I'm so taken by this top. It reminds me of those elegant traditional Chinese black and white paintings. They are usually about trees, bamboos, forests, waterfalls and other nature-y things. My parents love them and hang them in their living room. This top is very much like such works of art. The shape is modern while the palette has a vintage feel. I love the ties in the back for a girly touch.

Canvas bags 2007-03-14 15:13:00 My new friend Lauren at Urban Bloom is looking for a canvas bag under $50 for summer and is asking for some suggestions. I would like a good canvas bag myself. They are just the epitome of summer bags. They are light, roomy, and go with your air-light summer dresses, skirts and sexy short shorts. They are just so easy to carry. I'm leaning towards both cuteness and sophistication. Hmm...perhaps I need two.Stanton Bag $24.50. Great color and the chain adds a nice touch to this classic shaped bag.Mini Cat Tote/Shoulder Bag $38. Love the cute kitten charm hanging on the strap. Canvas
Shoulder Bag $38. So simple and lady-like, yet very handy for its spaciousness. Take this to the beach and you'll look tres chic.Loop Canvas Printed Hobo $24.99. Gorgeous graphics! Canvas Printed Tote $38. I can't decide between these two color. They are equally pretty. They can play up any old t-shirt and jeans outfit.Large Canvas Shoulder Bag $50. Now this is pure sophistication. I love

What about the handle? 2007-03-15 16:35:00 Peety Cleo in Bone $273. I am undecided about this bag. First I thought I was in love with it. The color is great, the pleated leather looks super soft and feminine. Then the big cut-out handle started to look a bit weird. The proportion seems a little off. And the slanted shape is such a contrast to the bag's soft round body. I mean maybe that is the point, to create a contrast and give it drama to an otherwise a tame and girly bag. Dolls, what do you think?
If real spiders were this cute 2007-03-15 15:15:00 Spider & Net Pendant $180How ingenious that somebody would think of making spider and spider web necklaces! Butterflies, dragon flies, birds...sure, they are pretty. But spiders
?! I wouldn't have thought of it. But look at this set, it is exquisite and positively cool! It's supposed to be a lovers' matching pendants because a spider and its web are insaperable. But I don't know which one would suit the boys better, the gem stones might be a little too pretty for them. I think you should just wear both ;)
Ohh if I could wear high-heels with it all day 2007-03-17 14:16:00 Braided Strap 2-Pocket Shirring Tote $48Ahhh the giddy feeling that I get when I see a hot bag. The braided handles and the pleated leather are just so girly. The gold hardware is just a right touch. It's even got a little handy change pouch besides the two outside pockets. It might be perfect for Paree for going out to dinner in a dress and heels.

Headbands again! 2007-03-17 06:37:00 Yep, I'm still obsessed with headbands. They are my hair's best friends. I wear them 4 days out of the week, especially on bad hair days. So far all my headbands have been of neutral color tones, which were well suited for the winter season. But now that spring's coming, it's time to update my collection of headbands! More bright colors and bold graphics. Kate Headband $10.50. Cute plaid!Metallic Headband $9.50. The ice blue color will stand out against my sleek shiny black hair (after I have my annual magic straightening done, hehe. If you have frizzy coarse hair, I recommend getting the straightening).Modern Art Headband $4.99. Very Pucci-esque.Strawberry Fabric Headband $4.00. Perfect for a day at a picnic or at an amusement park.
Jewel eyes 2007-03-16 19:02:00 It's time to spring clean your makeup kit and get new ones! We're seeing lots of bright colors for eyes for this spring, the bright blue, green, violet, pink, mixed in with gold and silver. It's like putting gems on your eyes, giving them that goddess sparkly look and feel. But be careful not to overdo it. Keep the bright colors in a small area, just along the lashes, not the whole eyelids. Otherwise the look will take a wrong turn and go down the 80's route which was clownish back then if you look at any music video from that era.

No more winter coats! 2007-03-16 14:14:00 Darn it! Although it hasn't snowed today as the forecast said it was supposed to, the temperature has gone down to -4 degrees celsius. Seeing as how nice weather this week has been (in the positives), I refused to wear a winter
coat today. I'm wearing a cropped jacket and my new patent red flats. Hope I don't freeze my butt off.
Full skirts 2007-03-18 19:12:00 Volume is a big element in everything this season. I like having volume in my skirts
. They are very flattering to our narrow-hipped girls. They add curves, which you know a girl can always use. Wear a tight little tank for a sexy flirty look.Jill Stuart Seine Reve Heather Skirt $298Rachel Pally Pleated Skirt $167Maria Skirt Red. $34.50Satin Balloon Skirt $62Dot Print Chiffon Layered Skirt with Detachable Ribbon $65Cute Ribbon Affixed Drape Skirt $75

Scandalous top! 2007-03-19 19:13:00 Who knew Nicole Richie actually has boobs. Put on a bra, Nicole! A cute lacy one if you want to look racy. But if you are trying to convince people you've gained a little weight, this is not the way. Celebs in L.A. just aren't into wearing underwear huh?Rumor has it that for the 4th season of Simple Life, Nicole and Paris are playing camp counsellors...at a fat camp!? I'm sure it's going to piss some people off. But obviously they want it that way. (source: couturecandy.com)
Wide leg pants 2007-03-19 15:19:00 Looks like the skinny jeans are staying for a while longer, which it's not a bad thing, for me anyways. But you know the wide leg pants are trying to get our attention too. I love their casual sexy look. They enlongate your legs. They gotta be low-rise for me though, because they are already loose in the legs, you certainly don't want to lose any shape in your bum. My guy thinks it's quite sexy when the pants sit perfectly on the bum and show a little bit of the curves.Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Bulldog Pleated Wide Leg Pant $275Theory Tailor Tai Pant $230. Who says you gotta wear high-heels with these pants? Flats look just as great. Damn these Victoria's Secret models for having the longest, the most shapely legs. I can only hope these fab looking pants can help the rest of us look a little taller and leaner too. the Marisa Fit Wide-Leg pant in seasonless stretch $68 and the Marisa Fit Wide-Leg pant in stretch cotton $49.50Emily Low-rise Wide-leg $39.50.

Not the old leggings 2007-03-18 22:16:00 I have to admit that I wasn't that into leggings the whole time the legging craze was going on, more specifically the full-length ones. Not that the trend is abating, however, we're seeing cropped leggings for the warmer weather now, which I like very much. I think they are much more flattering cropped. Paired with high wedges, they totally show off your shapely calves and ankles. Check out these fab leggings with strings. Totally sexy and flirty. Gotta love the new twist on the good old leggings. String Calf Leggings $18
Diet pills no-no 2007-03-20 19:02:00 Read this in the Fashion Magazine's (one of Canada's fashion mags) April issue. I hope you dolls are not taking any of the diet pills
mentioned below. Now that the weather's warming up, and bikini season's not far away, we want to get in shape. But don't be tempted to take any diet pills. Healthy eating and exercise is always the right way to go.Glowing testinmonials, claims of clinically proven success, and promises of painless, life-altering results--it's enough to make even a cynic wonder if diet pills could work. But this January, the marketers of four major supplements in the States were slapped with US$25 million in penalties to settle charges of deceptive advertising. CortiSlim, Xenadrine EFX, TrimSpa and One-a-Day WeightSmart--the last three are still sold in Canada, with the last one as One-a-Day with Non-Medicinal Green Tea--where slammed by the Federal Trade Commission for making false and/or unsubstantiated claims.

Grecian goddess 2007-03-20 15:18:00 (source: Yahoo! Movie)We saw "300" on the weekend. Did anybody see it? Besides being a great war and love story, boy was it a sexy stylish movie! It was like looking at a masterpiece painting the whole time, even though there was a lot of bloodshed. The Spartan warriors were a sight to behold with their rippling muscles -- I jokingly called them an army of abs. And the women were beautiful beyond words in their flowy revealing dresses. At one point during the movie, I turned to the hubby and said "the Spartan women were sure fashionable." Makes me really want to jump on the Grecian
goddess bandwagon. But I'm too shy, lol. But if you've got the body, this is a very elegant way to show it off.LaRok Grecian Top in White/Gold $136Harkham Liquid Jersey Top in Grey $172Tricia Fix Goddess Short Dress in Black Lace $231Alice + Olivia Ombre Halter Dress $297

Canvas shoes 2007-03-23 15:28:00 I've gotten very very fond of canvas shoes
