Treasures and Curiosities

Dress: Target
Jacket: Forever 21
Gloves: Target
Bag: Vintage
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell's Litas

Guess who I ran into while strolling around Yaletown last Friday? no one other then the fabulous 
 We both recognized each other yet were afraid to say something till we both got really close to make sure we weren't making a mistake. 
It's quite hard to make a mistake though when you are posing on the sidewalk and a man nearby is holding a camera with a 9 inch lens. 
So now that the two of us have actually met, I think it might be time that Miss Melissa makes an actual appearance on Faboulista.

Jet-Set Safari

 Coat: H&M
Tights: H&M
Bag: Vintage
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell's Litas
Hat& Rings: Borrowed

Last Monday, as I got ready to go over to my friend's house, subconsciously inspired by this amazing outfit worn by Ioana, I grabbed my leopard coat and dashed for the train. The sub zero weather of last week called for a very warm coat and this H&M coat is exactly that.

My friend Roshanak is one of the best hostess ever. On top of always making me lunches and letting me play in her closet full of treasures gathered from around the globe, she offered to take some outfit photos of myself that day. No fancy camera, no special lenses,with just a plain old point and shoot , she was able to capture me like nobody has ever done with a no-frills camera. She let me borrow all of the amazing accessories you see such as the hat and the rings ... speaking of rings I have to do something about the fact that I do not own any obnoxious statement pieces.

Roshanak will now become a part-time photographer for Faboulista filling in for George from time to time. With her knack for ethnic inspired outfits and creative ways of using space, she will bring a fresh perspective to the blog.

Le Lapin Baroque



Shoes: Balenciaga
Tights: American Apparel
Gloves: Dressew
Lace Ears: Alice&Sara

Remember how back in February of last year I got the Roisin dress in the blue version, custom made for a special occasion this June? Well I finally ran out of patience till the event and decided to just put it on and shoot this little outfit. The bunny years  from Alice & Sara are one of my most treasured accessory possessions.  I'm racking up quite a collection of accessories from them but by far their signature items are the headbands
which they masterfully create. I can not wait to see what other new ideas they come up with this season.
