My Roman Holiday in June 2012

I am going to Rome, Venice and Florence in June for 12 days!  I can't believe it!  I have been jumping up and down since I booked my flight tickets 3 days ago.  It really is a dream come true...the beautiful cities, the amazing food, the fabulous art and strolling in the streets of Rome... sigh!

One of the special part of the trip is that I am going with my sister.  We haven't had the chance to travel together for years and this summer is the perfect time to go. 

We haven't finished discussing the details yet but we will spend 9 nights in a fabulous apartment in Rome and 3 nights in Venice. It's in 4 months and I am already counting the days!

Claudia Schiffer Cashmere • F/W 2011

Claudia Schiffer launched her first designer collection last  fall - a cashmere collection. 

Why cashmere?  The model says that she will always pick cashmere over shoes or jeans.  Schiffer is the creative director of the brand and her main concern about the collection was the quality of the cashmere.  She wanted to create long-term pieces that could be worn 10-20 years from now without losing the softness of the fabric.  The collection is for the active woman who wants to look chic in her every day life - while picking up her kids from school or going to work. 

The pieces seem very versatile, luxurious and perfect for winter.

My Closet • The White Coat

Do I have to tell you that it was freezing when I took these pictures yesterday?!  This coat is new of this year.  It's one of my "cute, can't wear below -10C" coat.  When it gets colder than -10C and I wear a different coat that is less attractive but specially designed for Canadian winters.  Is it still cold where you live?

I was wearing  a Le Chateau coat and Aldo thigh-high boots.

More Steve Madden...

My Closet • The Hot Pink Bikini

I was wearing a Victoria's Secret bikini.

It just dawned on me that I never posted this picture on my blog.  It was taken last summer during my trip to Dominican Republic.  It's one of my favourite picture because I look like a little alien with big eyes! :)  I was so amazed  by all the underwater beauty that was surrounding me that I couldn't open my eyes wide enough - to say the least!  My sister had the picture framed for my birthday and I decided to hang it in my kitchen.  It was a good idea because it makes me laugh every time I walk past it.  It also reminds me of the wonderful time I had with my boyfriend!
