Good to be back

Friday, October 15th, 2010

Going away, visiting home, time off work. I enjoyed it, I had great fun with friends and family and I’m back now, well rested. As much as I enjoyed it I’m so happy to be back. Back to Toronto and back at LIV. New clothing, new bedding and even new scented candles, soaps and room fresheners. Here are a few of my favorite new items in store.


A lovely Bella Notte throw $641.00, the cherry on top of this gorgeous bed.


Nick and Mo grey army jacket $101.00. We have it in white as well.


My favorite piece in-store now m.o.l. knits sweater with funky back $365.00.


Front of that fabulous m.o.l. knit sweater…


Did someone say “little black dress”?. The perfect one is at LIV by Yana K $316.00.


Our beloved Voluspa scented candles and room sprays come in soaps now!


New label at LIV is Urban Rituelle. Soaps, scented candles and body mist. These soft romantic scents will not dissappoint.


Take good care of your lips this fall and up coming winter. All kinds of different scents ranging from cotton candy to vanilla, all $11.00.

Farewell…for now

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

I’m heading off on a two week trip to Iceland and Ireland. First I’ll be staying in Reykjavik where I’ll be delighted to reunite with my friends and family. Then I’m heading off to the emerald isle. First stop is Dublin then I’m off to beautiful Cork city.

I’ll be sure to take a Rani cashmere sweater to Iceland. Nothing better than Italian cashmere to keep you warm in the cold!

Rani Cashmere sweater in Sand $640.00. Bella Notte Linen scarf in Sable $65.00.

Dublin can be very wet and grey. But the Irish never let that stop them from having fun on a night out!

To brighten my spirits in the grey weather I’ll have a night out in this mauve dress with a low back by Traffic People. Add a little bling from Edmoure Ralph and we have ourselves the perfect outfit.

Traffic People dress $209.00 Edmoure Ralph Necklace $143.00

My last stop will be in the south of Ireland, where i used to live…lovely Cork city.

For the shopping i’ll be doing in the city centre I want to look casual but classy. I’ll do so in a James Perse dress with that classic blazer which is a must in every womans closet.

James Perse Dress $185.00 ACDL Blazer $124.00 and Big Buddah bag $90.00.

I’ll try my best to keep you updated on Europe’s fall fashion trends and inspiration!
Au Revoir!

(Oh, and the city pictures I posted – the  first one is of my beautiful hometown Reykjavik. The second is of Dublin and it’s famous “Half Penny Bridges”. The third picture is of Cork City’s main shopping street, St. Patricks St.)
