Architectural Daintiness

August 24, 2010

This blouse was found on a Sunday afternoon alone strolling down the streets of South Main in Vancouver, one of my favourite shopping destinations. There were several left, they were marked down to over 80% off and to be honest on the hanger didn’t look that great. It must have gotten neglected for that reason and I am glad it did, because when I took the chance and tried it on I was immediately impressed by the wonderful detailing that gave it structure and femininity at once– two traits that don’t usually collide. I couldn’t pass it up!

These bangles are a memory of the amazing country that is India. I spent a month there on a missions trip last summer and although it was undoubtedly tough while I was there, will forever be a beautiful memory in my heart.

Wearing: blouse from a local boutique, Forever 21 feather earrings, bangles from India

    Looks great on you!! It’s funny how certain things that look awful on the hanger, look superb when worn. And then there are other things that look great and look terrible in person! Goes to show you how important trying everything on is when it comes to shopping πŸ™‚

    Hey Jen! Thanks for the comment on my post yesterday! Yes, the F21 cuffs are fairly recent – I picked them up about a month ago. They were the last two on the rack, so I’m not sure if they debuted much earlier? I tried looking for them online and didn’t have any luck.

    It’s always amazing to discover that something that is so-so on the hanger but looks great on. The blouse is lovely, and it looks amazing in this setting, it looks like it’s made to be shot against that wall. The bangles are amazing too, they look so delicate.

    Look at that lovely top! Definitely architectural and one of a kind. In addition to that, the color is gorgeous! I’m a sucker for lilac though I don’t own many pieces in that particular color. And I love the little jewelry porn in the 2nd photo. I always love your jewelry collection πŸ™‚

    To round out our catier bangles list, we had to include the hot leather tote from Prada, and I’m sure you know which waterproof jackets I am talking about – the Vitello Daino Leather Tote, of course! This Mother Of The Bride Dresses has been dropping jaws all year long with its luxe calfskin and shiny hardware. Its classic appeal guarantees that it will be in omega speedmaster watches style for years to come and will certainly be making its way onto lists of classic cheap miu miu handbags in no time. Its exterior displays the famous Prada logo so you can make sure everyone knows you are carrying luxury cheap chanel shopping and quality – two of Prada’s most notable qualities.

    So, there you have hermes handbags online , the Top 5 Most Wanted Handbags of 2012. While louis vuitton online were uber hot this year, they are all pieces that will be in style for years to come. That is why omega watches for women are such great investment pieces.
