5 things to look forward to this week | 8.4.14

Saturdays always seem to go by quicker when a certain baby nephew is home and still learning to walk, but Sunday, on the other hand, always seems to be the day when everything slows down for a whole 24 hours. Though most things didn't go as planned, there's still hope and excitement lingering, for there is a very anticipated project underway...more news on that! This week's edition of 5 things seems to have a theme of nudes, a personally favorite color…

With my new set from Gossard, can't wait to the pretty under things around and about.
 
  Always feel impossibly chic when wearing my pair of pearl earrings and haven't done so in a while so the next office outfit will include pretty pearls and red, red lips.

Am in need of cleaning and organizing my shoes and so this weekend will consist of some closet makeover.

Will continue on the search for the perfect sized clutch, to hold all my necessities; my phone, glasses, lipstick and more.

Perhaps a trip to the shops to pick up Jo Malone's Red Roses perfume, which have been admiring from a distance for some time now.

Fashion Musings | From the Runway: Burberry Prorsum Resort 2015

Favorite element of Burberry Prorsum's 2015 resort collection is the varietal pencil skirts, ranging in faded colors, fabrics and textures, a reminder of a crush on feathers. These would be perfect to pair with knits, shirts and collars if one chooses and the dip-dyed lace trench is a magnificent update to the classic trench coat!

Style Musings | Street Style: Lace for Summer

Though it has been hotter than usual, especially on the weekends, have been able to wear maxi dresses, even lace ones, just like Australian model Jessica Hart (in Valentino), at the office, where air conditioning makes wearing heavier fabrics on hazy summer days a bit more possible.



Love the way Jessica adds the scarf as an accessory, the perfect little layer for wind when at seaside or to keep cool as the sunsets.

Fashion Musings | Editorial: Jessica Alba for Cosmopolitan Turkey

The "Sin City: A Dame To Kill For" star channels her ladylike side while lounging and sun-soaking poolside for Cosmopolitan Turkey. Dressed in all white for summer, including a crop top and a sheer top with feather embellishments and hanging poolside with sexy tousled hair never looked so glamorous...

Style Musings | Décor Desires: Exotic Glamour in Toronto with Jessica Waks

It is clear that designer Jessica Waks has a thing for glamour and her newly renovated 1,900 square-foot 1930s Toronto home showcases that one can never have enough of glamour. The eclectic, bold space features jolts of saturated colors and feminine, chinoiserie accents in the form of tufted upholstery, bar carts for pre-dinner cocktails, a wildly admirable lavender mohair chair and ethereal hand-painted Chinese wallpaper. 




There's also the grand extended foyer with marble harlequin floor and crystal light fixture, truly setting the mood for the rest of the space...the hand-carved fireplace, vintage crystal sconces, plenty of exotic cat prints, black and white in the form of contemporary prints and striped furniture (some of the designer's favorite decorating elements) and so much more to be mesmerized by such a space...

In The News | Weddings: Erica Pelosini & Louis Leeman

Often enjoy perusing through various blogs and collections for utterly romantic and undeniably whimsical wedding photographs, such as the most recent of Kim and Kanye, and have always dreamed of hosting similar...until The Coveteur's editorial style photo album from Erica Pelosini and Louis Leeman's destination wedding in Italy were released and am now entirely reconsidering traditional romance for something more upbeat, daring and edgy as illustrated in Pelosini and Leeman's recent extravaganza.



Pelosini, Italian stylist and street style extrovert, met Leeman, Dutch shoe designer, at fashion school in Florence, Italy nine years ago and have since married their opposite, yet highly compatible tastes together to form the line, Louis Leeman, a true collaboration of uptown and downtown vibes for the eponymous handmade penny loafers.




The resort style wedding was cast away in majestic Capri where an unfailing sun shed light all weekend long. Cocktails and dinner underneath fragrant lemon trees at Da Paolino, custom designed Mary Katrantzou dresses for the bridal party over a poolside brunch, a ceremony at Certosa di San Giacomo and white balloons that were released after the couple exchanged vows were among the itinerary plans.

There was, literally, a sea of bridesmaids in navy blue Pucci dresses, along with Pelosini, in a custom-made Peter Dundas wedding dress, a true combination of modern elegance and romantic boho which featured a lattice criss-cross neckline trimmed with pompoms and a sensational high-low skirt with a striking asymmetrical train. Pelosini paired her dress with white lace-up Aquazzura sandals and a simple daisy bouquet.

The weekend ended with a late lunch and boat ride at il Riccio Beach Club and no newly weds have ever looked so radiant and madly in love...
