Bedazzling Sandals

Miu Miu Sandals from Holt Renfrew Canada.

Since we still have a few more weeks of Summer, here are some bedazzling sandals from Miu Miu's Spring 2013 Collection. The sandals were designed with glittering jewels strapped onto the leather straps dyed in metallic silver. These sandals look so precious and just so beautiful. Whatever sandals you are wearing, always remember to shine and to step out with confidence. Keep on wearing your sandals as Summer is not over till it's over. 

I wanted them to be very elegant—

but in a way that contains all the opposites of elegance.

Spring Pinks

Roger Vivier pumps and clutch available at Holt Renfrew Canada.

It's Spring time. Time to change our colours from the dark to some pastels. This season, I saw numerous Pinks around in shoes, bags, clothes, food, perfumes and even in our gardens. Spring here in Toronto is quite late. Very few blooms yet. We believe our trees will be filled with leaves again and our flowers will bloom soon. As the saying goes, better late than never. Thanks to Fashion, it always arrive in advance every season.  The joy of the changing seasons is that we are hopeful and have something to look forward to everytime. 

Roger Vivier shoes. 

Christian Dior Slingbacks and Louis Vuitton pumps.

Bejewelled Miu Miu Pumps and some jewels in pink.

Prada pink and black Polka dots dress and Chanel dress in Pink.

My scent for Spring, a Limited Edition YSL Paris which I purchased during a trip to Paris. YSL created this scent as his tribute to the fashionable Parisiennes, who always inspired him in his Collections.  It evokes the scent of a Jardin romatique in Paris full of violets, bergamot, roses, iris and sandalwood. 

A book recommendation is April in Paris written by Michael Wallner. The book is a love story set during WWII Paris.

Spring time means it's time for some pampering. Perhaps a manicure and pedicure from my collection of Le Vernis de Chanel  in their shades of Pink: Ming, Rose Confidentiel and Infidele.

One of my favourite Spring dessert, Red Velvet cake with cream cheese icing and Strawberry ice cream.

Blooms from last year to something to look forward to this season: Roses and our Dahlias to bloom in our garden. 

What are you looking forward to this Spring? 

May you all have an inspiring week ahead.

Don't you wish that Spring will start soon so that we can wear some of these stylish loafers with embellished heels from Miu Miu or the Prada pumps with bows?  Here are some Spring Shoes I discovered from  Holt Renfrew here at Toronto. An alternative to wearing loafers is the Sparkling Boots or the Studded Boots both from Miu Miu. Another in-style footwear right now is the Wedge Sneakers from Prada which will be perfect to wear during Casual Fridays and Weekends. I hope these stylish shoes will inspire you to step out in style in the upcoming Spring season.
