Before falling ill in early May, I captured beautiful Adrienne via my lens but never had the chance to share her pictures with you all…
she was delightful + looked so fabulous in her faux-leather jacket from Target…
but then I got sick, the weather turned warm and I never got her pictures posted.

But yesterday and today, our below-seasonal temperatures have actually made it cool enough to wear what Adrienne is wearing…
we’re truly experiencing the craziest upside-down weather here in Canada…
so crazy that even I opted for a wool toque on my evening stroll last night…
lol…on June 3rd!!!

So I guess I didn’t miss my chance to post the lovely Miss Adrienne after all~

an unexpected {style} break…

Sometimes the most urgent thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest.

I can so relate to this beautiful photo by Scott Schuman, The Sartorialist…
it seems sometimes ‘life’ calls us to take an unexpected {style} break…
it’s now been three weeks since my last post…
sidelined by shingles, I needed to rest.

Many thanks for all your well wishes + virtual hugs…
I’m so very grateful to be feeling better…
getting stronger each day…
and will be back soon…
stylishly soon~

style your trench

TRENCH /ˈtrench/[trenCH]
noun
1: a waterproof overcoat styled along military lines, belted, with straps on the shoulders and lower sleeves.
2:  a must-have basic in any women’s wardrobe.

{PARIS 04.30. 2013 | via JAK&JILL.com}

And here are three {simple} ways to do it…
with your favourite pair of jeans…
over a tailored suit to work…
or with a sexy LBD.

And always be sure to give your trench a little ‘trench twist’…
by rolling or pushing up the sleeves…

by never-ever buckling the belt properly…
and by popping the collar.

Diane von Furstenberg, Barbie and Me

Dress is vintage Diane von Furstenberg bought on Ebay, shoes from Aldo

I'm not a big seventies girl. I dig the free love and the big hair but most of its boho styles make me look more like a hippo than a hippy. One exception to this sweeping dismissal of an entire decade is the wraparound dress.

The style was popularised by Diane von Furstenberg - glamazon, business woman and sex kitten extraordinaire.

The Vintage Swimwear Special

Reblogged from MasonBentleyStyle:

I LOVE Roxy's post on vintage swimsuits re-blogged above - I think helped by the fact that she looks so darn good in them...I am completely inspired and for once I am going to get my act together and start sorting my beachwear now and not the usual week before the plane leaves, when I fall into the horrible trap of compromise, misfit and doom...I want frills, halter necks, large sunnies, a turban and very red lipstick...Her post was written with perfect timing as for those of a tiny body frame I also have this:

Hello sweet darlings + Happy Saturday…thought you’d all enjoy another fun read from London. Although it’s been dreadfully cool + winter-like here in Canada, my fingers are crossed that both spring + summer are indeed coming…along with the much {or not so much} anticipated swimsuit season…lol…and if you find yourself in a bit of a swimsuit quandary—contemplating what to wear to the pool or the beach then you may want to consider a ‘vintage bather’…you never know, something old could be ‘The perfect’ something new…Let's chit chat... PS thank you @masonbentleystyle and @roxyvintagestyle for sharing all your great tips + insights with us on vintage and vintage-inspired suits~ xo

How people style themselves and their personal objects always intrigues me…
it says a lot about them as individuals.

J’adore how Kaoruko adds whimsy + charm with her Rabito…
a bunny eared iPhone cover…
a bold horse print scarf…
and a dotty coat~

channeling Audrey

The city takes a breath on Sunday…
― Hawksley Workman

and when it does there’s nothing I love to do more than to take a stylish Sunday morning stroll…
wearing a great pair of sunnies…
with a warm pastry in hand.

Wait a minute–well there is maybe one other thing I’d love to do more…
I’d love to take a stylish Sunday morning stroll in New York City…
wearing a great pair of {Oliver Goldsmith} sunnies…
with a warm pastry in hand…
channeling Audrey.

What about you?

So come sweet darlings, let’s take a {virtual} Sunday morning stroll together…
in NYC and enjoy an elegant moment of Sunday morning style…
channeling Audrey~

not surprised when Sarah told me she use to live in NYC~
