baby it's cold outside...

Like my hat?

MONCLER jacket, AA shirt (gifted from sis), CA4LA hat (stolen from bf), RAF SIMON snood (stolen from bf), CHEAP MONDAY jeans, LIUJO belt (gifted from Mass' mom), SOREL boots (gifted from dad), LOUIS VUITTON purse, CLUB MONACO gloves

HUGE apologies for my absence this past week and a half, work has me so drained. The good news is that xmas is near and I'll be home for the holidays, which means more time to connect.

My parents have been in town for the past week or so for my LLM convocation. They couldn't have come at a worse time; there was a snowfall here that didn't stop for a week, something that hasn't happened in London in two decades. I left all my winter clothes at home in Toronto but my dad came to the rescue when he gave me my 26th birthday present of Sorels! I had been looking all over London for them last year (to no avail) and my sis must've gave my dad some good advice. They are so warm! I don't own a pair of Uggs (never will) and hands down, these are much 'cooler' and sturdier.

Above pics are from the Portobello Market (infamous Notting Hill market) from the weekend. They have a ton of fur being sold by vendors and my mom and I picked a couple hats up. She's rocking the one up there, isn't she?

Hope you're having a great Sunday!

SAME SHIRT...different day

NICO DI DONNA dress/vest (shown last here, AA dress, BCBG belt, SHANGHAI purse, ASOS shoes, BREAKFAST CLUB tea

Mentioned previously, here is another method of wearing the same vest/dress. I know it's not dramatically different, but I needed an excuse to re-post this awesome piece.

We went to check out some vintage furniture for my 'closet' room on Sat and where better than the Camden Passage market. Of course I didn't find what I was looking for but I did find a super heavy and long necklace at a street vendor who did not know the name of the artist she sold but that he was Parisian. Above are his other pieces. The pain in your neck is worth it.

(Apologies for the smaller sized photos. I seemed to have resized them with the wrong dimensions)

RANDOM SHANGHAI

We headed to F1 two hours after we landed to watch Schumacher race during the practice runs. But of course, we were focused on the Italian team: Ferrari.


Justin and I at Constellation: every mans dream. Over 250 whiskies and you can smoke cigars. My Easter gift to Mass was to smoke a cigar with him. Here I am smoking a....I already stopped caring :)


Wearing my new Miu Mius for the first time! (thanks for the advice everyone - I decided to keep them!)


Normally I wouldn't take pics of the hotel (think its a little tactless but that's just my opinion) but this hotel was exceptional. We stayed at the Peninsula on the Bund and because it just opened in December 2009, I think we were the first ones to stay in that room. haha. It was so technologically advanced I was in heaven. Buttons for EVERYTHING. They even had a little nail dryer in the wall in my make up/closet room. This is a picture of one of the many buttons to instruct the room.


Antique Market: Chairman Mao


What I love most about China: Massages. They break you but you keep coming back for more. £10 will buy you luxury at this place. I went there on at least 3 occasions.



Think that's it! Back to reality.

Have a great day. Ciao!
