What better way to begin the weekend than with some new music. The music industry has been a bit dry as of lately but this new banger from Lady Gaga has brought my faith in music back.
I didn't realize how much I missed R. Kelly until after hearing this song. Gaga's new track, which features a verse from R. Kelly, is a measured electro banger that smartly doubles as a love song and finds Gaga doing her best impression of Christina Aguilera.
I hope everyone has been enjoying the Fall season thus far and most importantly, fall shopping!!
Celine just debuted its 2014 "Resort" bags. What most collections refer to as their Spring collection, Celine refers to it as Resort. What this means really is that they will be available sooner than most other designers Spring bags. YAY!
The collection includes a ton of Celine's hits (Luggage Totes, Trapeze Bags and Cabas Totes) but with amazing new colour combinations and leathers. Also available in some beautiful pastel colours is the Celine bag debuted by the designer for Winter 2013, the Tie Tote (a personal fav).
The updated phantom/trapeze is quite stunning, yet simple enough to last a few yearly cycles. I love those knots. Very chic and modern.
I am totally loving this beautiful Vancouver weather we're having lately! For those of you who don't live in Vancouver, Vancouverites have an obsession with talking about the weather. See video below...
While I usually don't have the patience to scour the racks of Winners or Forever 21, I made a visit to both stores recently and found some cute pieces for great deals! Here are a few of my outfits wearing some of my recent finds:
Black Tee- Splendid, Shawl/Cape - Winners, Tights- American Apparel,
Boots- Dolce Vita, Bag- Gucci
Red Plaid Shirt- Rails, Checkered Sweater- Joe (got this one at Superstore for $29!),
Tights- American Apparel, Boots- Dolce Vita, Bag- Gucci
As you can see, I am getting a lot of use out of my new bag. I have always been someone who loves a big bag but the bigger the bag, the more you find to put in it. It has been so nice not carrying a huge heavy handbag around - I should have invested in a cross-body bag sooner!
The latest banger from Bruno Mars is one of my "burst out signing in the car when i'm all alone" jams of the moment.
The steamy video, which was released on Tuesday (October 15),
features Freida Pinto ("Slumdog Millionaire" actress) as a stripper who dances for Bruno on
stage while he belts out his lyrics.
Check out the video for "Gorilla," which Mars directed himself, in the player below (not viewable from a mobile device):
The kid has been off the music scene for a minute (probably because he's been too busy causing ruckus and acting like a spoiled little brat). He did manage however to find the time to release a new single this week (which I only even gave a listen to because Diplo produced it).
The team over at Purseblog.com recently posted this and I just couldn't resist sharing it with all of you. They totally nailed it and I couldn't stop laughing. Enjoy!

Yes, you read correctly. It isn't even Winter yet and you can already pre-order some of the IT bags for the upcoming Spring 14' season.
After their debut at Paris Fashion Week a few weeks ago, literally 2 days later some of these bags became
available online for pre-order. I love the internet!!

I, like many, am OBSESSED with the new artist on the scene named Lorde. Six months after the release of her debut song "Royals" I still have it on constant repeat.
Here is the new track she just dropped called "Team"...
When it comes to fashion, Sarah Jessica Parker is known for a lot of things - but
wearing affordable pieces isn’t necessarily one of them. So when she
steps out in something I can even remotely dream of affording, I take
notice.
The
Borough collection is brand new for Fall 2013 for Coach, and will
launch in stores and online on October 16. This collection has a
noticeably more modern and sleek vibe than most other Coach bags of the
very recent past, and seems decidedly less, well, Coach-y (aka cheap looking & logo overdose). At first glance, this bag resembles a nice cross between a Celine and a Saint Laurent and will no doubt be more affordable (prices start at $548).
This new collection for Coach will surely be a classic and I admittedly say, I'm majorly impressed!
