All in the Details

I recently picked up this gorgeous Vera Moda Peter Pan top while in The Bay. I work in a mall that has a Bay in it (for my southern neighbours...think Macy's) but always thought that it was such a dated, a tired place to shop. Sure you could buy high-end cosmetics, but clothes?

So I ventured into one of the fundamental fashion components of Canada, and what do you think I found?

That The Bay is incredible!

I actually had a dramatic gasp, hand to the heart, eyes widened with pure excitement type of reaction.

Everywhere I looked there was labels like Rachel Roy, Free People, BCBGeneration, Pink Tartan, you name it!

Seeing that I was on break from my job, and only having 15 minutes to spare I dove for the first thing that caught my eye. A bejewelled, sheer Peter Pan top. Pure, and honest bliss seeped through my pores.

When I tried it on, it was the perfect combination of class and forgive me for saying this..sass. Everything about it I just fell in love with!

The pearl and gem mixed collar had this particular beauty to it. See, I love myself a good pearl. Pearl earrings, necklaces and rings are a staple in my wardrobe. I am the first one to admit that out of leather and lace, I am immediately drawn to the femininity of lace rather than the hard edge of leather. I just love dainty and ladylike things! Smitten with the top, I bought it and ran back to my job with the biggest smile on my face.

Gotta love The Bay.

Are you ever in the mood to just feel retro?

I am not talking about the Beatles, Clueless or Flared Denim kind of Retro

I am talking about the Ella Fitzgerald, Casablanca and Below the Knee dresses kind of Retro.
