Contemplating Meghan Markle Style

Meghan Markle.... the native Californian will marry Prince Harry tomorrow!  They make such a nice couple.  Looking forward to seeing Meghan's wedding gown on tv.

Meghan used star on the show Suits (I've never watched it, I'll have to watch one episode before the end of next week), owned a blog called Tig (which I just looked up, but she's stopped blogging according to the note on the last post), and worked with Reitmans on a collection of dresses and shirts in her name (you can see her collection at besthealthmag.ca.  

Looking at the photos of her, I see that Meghan loves neutrals.  She wears a lot of black, cream, grey, white and taupe, though she throws in color here and there.  The silhouettes are mostly mod sophisticate and comfortable.

Lovely Spring Collection

I found these beautiful clothes, I believe, on New York Magazine website.  They are fantastic!  Very new looks in terms of silhouettes, details and use of stripe and print fabrics.

These dresses, pants and tops are so fashion forward!

From Areas in Emergency: Focus on Designers

What a summer!  Fires, hurricanes and earthquakes!  Summer is technically over September 22, 2017, and I hope nothing else catastrophic will be happening.  

For those recovering from the disasters that have happened, and are still happening, in British Columbia, Canada (wildfires), Texas (hurricane Harvey) and Florida  and some Caribbean islands (hurricane Irma), designers from each area are featured this week.

Praying for the quick restoration of each province, state, and island.  Till next blog.

Exclusivey Etsy

Etsy.com is a great website for shoppers and designers alike.  Designers get to sell their products, usually one-of-a-kind designs, and shoppers looking for the unique items not seen at the neighborhood department stores have a great time surfing this site.

I'm always pleasantly surprised looking at Etsy.com.

Trendy Olympic Uniforms 2016

I'm just enjoying the Rio Olympics, aren't you? Unfortunately, I didn't see the complete opening ceremony (saw over half).  I fell asleep, but not because I was bored.  I'll be drinking coffee during the closing ceremony to make sure I'm awake for the entire program.

We're now into the second week which includes one of my top favorite sports to watch, track and field.  So I'll be riveted to the tv for these next few days.

I think many of the uniforms worn during the opening ceremony (the ones I saw, and the ones I found online) for the Olympics were just on the mark.  Colors  and silhouettes were fun and somewhat experimental, if that can be said, for the start of a world competition.  

Shout out to the Canadian medal winners! And to the other medal winners from a few other countries I was also rooting for!  Here are just a few of the winning uniforms. Wish I could post all my favorites.

Spring Splendour

Spring is here, somewhat.  The beginning of April has been colder than usual (in Toronto, ON at least.  How's warm/cold is your location?) but let's look forward to what we could be wearing once the warm temperatures decide to visit us.  

These clothing designs give strong spring vibes.  The bright colors, flowery prints, and silhouettes can't help but make you smile and feel the soon coming warmth.

I've bought from Avon for years.  The items I mostly bought were perfumed powders, lip balms and make-up.  Recently I've been buying Avon rings, I've got a thing for rings.  I love the convenience of shopping from home, ordering from the catalogue and waiting for the arrival of my purchases at my door via the Avon lady.
