How to wear a turban







(images via the fashion spot)

Seriously has anybody seen anybody wear a turban better than Catherine Baba? This woman's style is amazing.I was contemplating how I can keep my head warm in Romania without sacrificing style. Then I saw the pics of Catherine Baba on her bike in Paris and I decided to buy one too. It finally arrived just in time for the trip. I will be debuting this lovely headpiece in a couple of days in Romania. My mom warned me not to. She says people will give me weird looks (according to her Romanians tend to be a bit backward minded).I frankly don't give a damn. Let them look for all I care. I cant wait to wear it.
Got to go sleep now. Have a flight to catch tomorrow. Next post will be coming Sunday from Romania.

Packing is such a hassle






Wearing: H&M puff sleeve blazer, Aldo gloves belt and OTK, Honey Room sunglasses vintage skirt, Sonia Rykel for H&M lace bustier.

I'm getting so excited for my trip to Romania. I'm super scared though of the sub zero degrees weather I will have to face. I know people think that because I live in Canada I should be used to harsh winters but PEOPLE I live in Vancouver!!!!!! We have a maritime climate. Mild winters with lots of rain. This winter was especially warm. The weather here is almost like spring. So yeah I am freaked out about the freezing temperature of Bucharest. I haven't been there in the winter for 11 years so I kinda forgot about their terrible winters. Packing for this trip has been such a hassle. I don't own too many cold weather items. I went Friday and i bought lots of under layering pieces like leggings and long sleeve tops to wear under my dresses and skirt to keep me warm. I have some cozy sweaters as well so I hope that it will be enough. I also ordered a tan colour turban from eBay to keep my head warm. I hope it arrives by Friday. Anyways I really hope that I wont be stuck inside the house the whole time I'm there because I just can't face the damn weather. That would be such a waste of my trip.

Empty home






Wearing: H&M skirt and top, Payless shoes, vintage belt,Le Chateau brooch worn as a hat.

So I took advantage of the fact that my home is empty without any furniture and took my pics inside. You wanna know why my home is left without furniture? well funny story... i ordered a new sectional couch and when the delivery guys came apparently they couldn't fit it because i have the corner apartment and the couch was too big to pass through the damn corner. The night before I gave away all my old furniture so now I'm stuck with an empty living room till I find something new. I never really wanted to buy new furniture but the couch we had was a bit too small for the both of us so when we found this beautiful comfy sectional on an amazing sale we just went for it. I think we both got too carried away with the price and the look of it that we failed to objectively measure our house properly. I guess its our own fault in the end.
