Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I apologize for the quality of the photos below but I had to be sneaky. Stores don’t take too kindly when you’re photographing their merchandise in-store.
Behold the Kenzo tiger sweater. Cult and blogger favorite, retails for $255. Beautiful. 
Now behold H&M’s take
And Zara’s
Tigers are popular!
I also found this little number at Zara. Look familiar?
Givenchy!
Things a girl must know when there is a casual dress code at the office.
There are two sides to every coin, I could be working at a very conservative firm who requires business suits every day. But fortunately, that’s not the case. My work environment is casual and I was told I can wear almost anything I want, including jeans. This is also problematic because how do I know what is appropriate and what is “too casual?” SoI wanted to impart my wisdom on what I’ve seen other women wear and add in my own opinion.
Just some examples of what I was talking about. I’ll definitely keep adding tips and insight to the list. After all, you learn something new about fashion every day, especially at the office.
Tomorrow night….is Saturday. My best friend is coming up to New York to visit me and tour NYU since she was accepted their for graduate school. We plan on hitting up one of the hottest, most coveted bar/club in the city. I wanted to post what I’m thinking of wearing. This club is for the fashion elite, who’s who, models, press, pr power players and bosses of the city, so I have to be on my A-game fashion-wise. Here’s what I got so far:
If this all works out, I’ll definitely post pictures from my night out.
So I ventured on a 30 minute subway ride to one of my favourite malls: Yorkdale. It’s pretty high-end but it has just about every store you’d want to shop in. I allowed myself to buy an outfit since I’ve been struggling with personal style and all. As I was searching for images of the things I bought I saw the U.S. prices making me want to cry because the prices are higher in Canada, the Canadian dollar is worth more than the U.S. dollar, and we’re taxed 13%. That’s hard to deal with and for that reason I don’t think I could live here permanently. It’s so expensive. But enough about money, here is what I bought:
Striped shirt (total basic necessity for the Fall)
Red Pants (which I think will turn out to be the best investment for the Fall, as coloured denim is going to be very popular)
Black Pistol Boots (they’re probably not called that, I stole the name from the Acne pistol boots)
I am really a big fan of this Givenchy Fall 2011 campaign. I bought a knock-off shirt from Zara (below) that has a panther intensely staring at onlookers, in a very similar manner as depicted in this scarf. Not as fierce but it still evokes the essence of the Givenchy campaign. I love the colors: blacks, purples, greens, and just the tiniest hint of yellow. To me, it’s a dark theme and I’m all about edginess and mystery.
Top Shop also has a tank that’s a gritting panther depicted below (I’m also a fan).
