{ YSL, Y-Mail Clutch in black patent leather }
Adorable. Seriously, just adorable! I think this Yves Saint Laurent Y-Mail Clutch is so unique and I just can’t get over it. The address on this YSL clutch is that of Maison Yves Saint Laurent, and apparently, the handwriting is reminiscent of Mr. Saint Laurent’s. Call me silly, but I think there’s something romantic about it – it reminds me of love letters sent via snail mail…ya know “back in the day” 
Have a great weekend lovelies!

{ Fashion Illustrations by Susan Hassmann }
Being in the shopping spirit, these illustrations seem rather fitting!
Besides the obvious reasons for my attraction to these photos (those being the glorious number of shopping bags, the chic cross body handbag in twooo different colour-ways, the oh-so-fabulous outfits, the way the scarf floats in the wind, those sky high sling back heels, and the dainty charm bracelets that sit on her wrist – this lady has style!!)…I am largely attracted to these particular Susan Hassmann fashion illustrations because of the colour palette and what I deem a “water-colour feel.”
This colour palette puts me at ease, while making me long for some glamorous girl time – tea. shopping. nails. cocktails. and repeat. It makes me feel warm and ready to enjoy all that spring and summer have to offer! All in all, these fashion illustrations make me happy.

{ MARC by Marc Jacobs, Too Hot To Handle Satchel }
When I saw this “Too Hot To Handle Satchel” from MARC by Marc Jacobs, it was literally love at first sight. At first I saw it in Vanilla, and I jumped (more like an excited leap), then noticed this parrot green version beside it and had to pick it up and, well … “try it on.” I fell inlove. It’s such a perfect colour for spring, right?! From that moment, my heart was stolen. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve thought about it every day, and continuously come up with reasons why I should buy it. This is my latest “conclusion”…
Being that my name is Victoria, every year I should buy myself a “Victoria Day” present! This would be my first.
Yay or Nay?

Happy Friday Lovelies!
Let’s start this weekend off with a little sparkle!
How stunning are these rings?!?! L.O.V.E.
Have you ever dreamt up the perfect piece of jewellery, then gone on a search can’t find anything like what you want; and nothing else seems even remotely good enough? I have, and this is why I’m excited to have come across Lafia Custom Jewellry!
With over 25 highly skilled craftsmen in their studio, they can make you the item you’ve always wanted! Maybe not an everyday type of service (although wouldn’t that be splendid?!), but it’s definitely great for special occasions like weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, holiday…or even the odd day here and there to get that “must-have” piece you’ve designed in your head.
Lafia is holding an Open House on June 1st, where you can have some drinks, snacks while getting a tour of thier manufacturing facility! See how the fine jewellery is made, and how they make diamonds sparkle.
P.S. I love all things sparkly.
Have a fabulous long weekend; and Happy Victoria Day

No matter how old I get, or despite the fact that I no longer dress up Barbie, I always have been and always will be a Barbie fan. Growing up, my Barbies always did have the best clothes, and needless to say Barbie is getting more and more stylish each year. Christian Louboutin for Barbie?! Some may roll their eyes and call it ridiculous; but instead, it puts a huge smile on my face and I think “awesome.” The red soles most woman long to wear; especially for Barbie, now that’s luxury. In all honestly, Barbie’s wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without a variety of heels from one of the hottest shoe designers out there. Which one of these Christian Louboutin for Barbie shoes do you love the most?

{All details have been taken from photos courtesy of Chanel}
Details. It’s all in the details. It’s what makes these Chanel garments from the Cruise 2012/13 collection so spectacular! When you see the Chanel runway show, the looks aren’t what you’d call “street wear” and really, not what most people would wear, on a daily basis that is. But break down the looks, and zoom in on the details and you’ll see how remarkable this collection is. Inspired by Marie Antoinette, Karl Lagerfeld hit this Cruise 2012/13 collection right on the noise. The runway show (watch it here) was actually in the Palace of Versaille and was simple breathtaking. How amazing it would have been to see this show live!

I’ve been meaning to purchase this bag for a few days now, but haven’t gotten my butt to the mall – and the “I’ve been so busy” excuse just doesn’t cut it; because really, I should never be too busy to help feed those in hunger or empower woman?!

More than ever I’m feeling like a vacation is in dire need, and Paris would be the perfect place for an escape. Sipping on champagne while taking in the romantic Eiffel Tower during a sunset is my idea of a relaxing holiday! One can’t experience Paris properly without the right wardrobe…so to start us off, I’ve put together an outfit that would work out perfectly. Now this is what I would call ‘living life’!

Happy Friday Lovelies!
Looking at a fantastic collection of necklaces is the perfect way to start a weekend! Here are a few of my favourite statement necklaces from Psalms 91:1 Accessories!
{Psalms: An Embrace}
{Psalms: Sinking}
{Psalms: Delta}
{Psalms: No Greater}
Are you ready to shop? Because I’m ready to shop!! Confession: I have a really hard time not making a purchase when it comes to events where Psalms is there selling their jewelry! So, for their first pop-up shop next week, you know I’ll be there with bells and whistles on (okay, well maybe that’s going too far?!…without the bells and whistles, but ready to buy something pretty). Anyways, if you find yourself in Yorkville, or close by, I urge to stop by the Psalms 91:1 Accessories pop-up shop and check out their amazing selection of jewelry..and maybe treat yourself to something pretty while you’re at it?!
Have a great weekend!!
