NEW YEAR

My landscape has changed quite drastically since my last post; towering skyscrapers and busy streets have been replaced by empty
snow-covered fields that disappear into the horizon. I'm excited to be celebrating New Year's in Manitoba with my close family
and friends, but am thrilled to spend 2011 in my new home: New York City.

I love the pearl embellished pockets on this H&M sweater!

I'm very excited for the new year, 2011 already holds many exciting new things for me, a few of which I hope to share with you very soon! Until then, I hope you all have a safe and fun holiday - thank you so much to all my readers, your are inexplicably fabulous! xo Antonia

HOME

I safely made it to Winnipeg, and am pleasantly surprised by the great weather we're getting for this time of year (by great

I mean "warm" at -10°C/14°F)! I didn't think I'd be missing NYC so much, and it's really got me thinking about what I now consider

'home' (above is a photo taken in October near my apartment). Lots to ponder over the next few weeks, and although I am beyond excited to spend some

quality time with my amazing family, I can't help by anxiously await my return to Manhattan. You can take the girl out of NYC...

MORE LANVIN LOVE

The perfect shade of pink, short skirt with a raw hem, and voluminous one-shouldered sleeve made this Lanvin ♥ H&M piece a must for me!

My beautiful friend Jaclyn from Stepping in Stilettos gave me this frog ring as an early Christmas gift. So adorable! Go check out her blog!

I haven't decided if I'm going to wear this dress to Clay's film screening tonight (it's his first short film and I'm very excited!). I'll be finishing
up exams and projects this week in NYC and then I'm flying to Winnipeg to enjoy the holidays with my family. Expect posts with lots of snow in the upcoming weeks! ~A

SPRING ZING

By now my regular readers know I'm no stranger to bold, vibrant colors, so of course I'm obsessed with this editorial,

entitled "Zing!" by Emma Summerton for New York Times Style Holiday 2010 issue. The saturated candy colors and

minimalist silhouettes capture the best trends from the Spring 2011 collections.

Anyways, I should be back to regular outfit posts this weekend now that I've completed four of my six finals! I have some fun

new pieces I've been wanting to share with you guys! xoxo Antonia

APARTMENT THERAPY

Ever since I moved to NYC, I've become a self-proclaimed apartment addict. After becoming increasingly obsessed with interiors,

I now spend my time in between studies daydreaming as I compulsively rifle through interior decor mags and design blogs.

Although I'm a student on a (painfully tight) budget, I've been thinking of ways to make me and Clay's tiny Upper East Side studio

a little more glam (and a lot more colorful!). Here are a few interiors that have been inspiring me lately:

I love the bold, saturated colors mixed with muted jewel tones. Such a fun, eclectic mix of color, print, and texture! Source: Civility Design

I love this chic interior designed by Vancouver-based interior design and home furnishings company, The Cross Design and Decor.

Such a perfect mix of sophistication with a feminine flare.

I'll definitely have to take part in some extreme thrifting and DIYing if I want our place to be anywhere close to these beautiful spaces!

Right now I'm looking for a great temporary wallpaper in a selection of prints (damask, floral, geometric designs). I've already looked into Tempaper,

but if you guys know of any others, let me know! Also, I'd love to know your favorite interior design blogs! xo Antonia

WISH YOU WERE HERE

What do you do to alleviate stress when you're not feeling your best self? A cup of calming green tea, or a maybe hot date

with two lovely gentleman, Mr. Ben and Jerry? Perhaps yoga and meditation? 

Me? I beeline to Bergdorf's. 

It's no secret the luxury department store is world-renowned for it's unparalleled window displays, but the

holiday-inspired fenêtres are magestic dream worlds meticulously crafted by Bergdorf Goodman's expert visual team.

If you have the privilege of viewing the appropriately titled "Wish You Were Here" 2010 holiday windows, you will experience an ethereal journey

to a fantasy land that can only be achieved by the creative and imaginative fusion of fashion and art.

Day Tripping

My favorite window; the detail is beyond. Do you see the jeweled iguana? He's so handsome!
