Pépite d'Or


During this past weeks lack of wardrobe posts, I had a lot of things planned and often came the necessity of dressing up nicely. Of course, each day I wished to have photographed my lovely outfits, but the lack of time during that period is now forcing me to rewear all of my favorite outfits a second time around! My yesterday outfit, repeated today, was embellished by adding some gold accessories; including my new gold nugget (Pépite d'Or) earrings! It was originally worn to go meet with my very generous and very stylish Aunt. She spoiled me rotten this year offering me for Christmas a Sonia Rykiel mirror fresh from Paris and a BCBG two-tone sequins clutch. To my surprise yesterday, she insisted to make me an additional gift and offered me the Micheal Kors rain boots I had dreamed of for so long! I spent the night wearing them inside the house! I feel so lucky! Especially since my Vancouver lifestyle is very basic and ultra modest!

You look wonderful, so put together. I love the pop of color in your skirt. I know what you mean about rain boots. When my mother bought me a pair of Hunters boots last year, I couldn't stop wearing them around the house, I was so excited:)
