In New York City

 I just arrived from Rome and then this weekend I will be going to New York City for a mini-reunion with my high school friends. I am definitely in a New York state of mind now but at the same time I am missing Rome. I love to travel. That's why I started this blog so that I can share with you some of my travels and all of my style inspirations. This time in New York, we will see all of the sights, visit some major exhibits and for sure have a fantastic time eating out and some partying. I just hope and pray that the spring weather in New York will be clear and full of sunshine, just like when I was in Rome. 

These photos of  Tiffany's windows were photographed by me in Florence, Italy.

J. Crew in the Cotswolds

For their Fall Style Guide, J. Crew visited the Cotswolds in the Southwest England presenting here the beautiful rolling hills, idyllic country life and fashion style. J. Crew is an American Clothing company featuring classic and trendy fashion clothing and accessories for Men, Women and even Kids. I am currently loving this Brand as their clothes are so stylish and well made. Their creative director is the fashionable  Jenna Lyons who is always featured in magazines and photographed always looking so chic. J. Crew have perfectly presented these classic and fashionable clothes in this idyllic Cotswolds setting which I am currently inspired to visit one day. I am daydreaming right now as I turn the pages of the catalogue. 

Here is Christopher Brooks together with his daughter Coco (in light blue sweater) riding their horse Murphy and the model riding Polo.  J. Crew actually photographed these in the Country Estate of Amanda and Christopher Brooks which I previously featured at Transformation: The Farm Girl Fashionista. However Amanda was not in England during the time of the shoot. So her husband Christopher, daughter Coco plus their horses Murphy and Polo were included in this fashionable campaign. Here we see a glimpse of their country life which Amanda presents every day in her Instagram. Murphy, the horse that Coco was riding actually passed away last week which Amanda recently featured in her Blog, Mourning Murphy.

I am loving all of these clothes in the campaign. For this Fall, I am loving these colour blocked coats, the very feminine white and black blouse, camel sweaters and those tweed blazers. My favourite right now are those denim shirts which I have bought in the chambray and also dark denim colour. J. Crew also sell stylish shoes, bags and Jewelry which I also like. Check out the J. Crew Style and hopefully you will love it too.

The Americana Mall in Glendale

The American Mall at Bland in Glendale, California.

On the same Friday that we arrived in Los Angeles, my Aunt and Uncle brought us that night  to The Americana Mall at Brand, in Glendale just to stroll around. As you know, the U.S.A is well known for their malls. I would have to say that the U.S.A has the best malls, particularly in California. My two favourite malls in Los Angeles are The Grove near Beverly Hills and this new mall in Glendale, The Americana Mall. What I love about them is not just many different stores and restaurants but also the whole ambiance and urban design of the Malls. Being California where it is sunny and warm mostly 365 days of the year, their malls are designed to be more open and encourages their guests to walk outside on the street side without any vehicle traffic. I love that, rather than being in an enclosed mall like here in Toronto. Well, here in Toronto, we have the four seasons,with our winter that is quite harsh so most of our malls have to be enclosed indoors. I love and enjoy the openness and luxurious ambiance of The American Mall. Other brands in this mall are A/X Armani Exchange, Tiffany & Co, Walter Weitzman Shoes, Lacoste, Sephora, Barnes and Nobles, among others. This week, we will go shopping in Los Angeles by featuring my two favourite malls, The Americana in Glendale and The Grove in Beverly Hills. Here are some shows, stores and places to hangout in the Mall. Let's go discover and enjoy!

The Dancing Fountain and Light Show is every hour from 10 am to 10:30 pm.
