Today's Outfit: Neon Upon Neon

  • J. Crew silk blouse and pencil skirt
  • Banana Republic sweater
  • Maison Martin Margiela booties
  • Chanel purse
  • WendyB swear rings
  • Lipstick: Revlon ColorBurst in Fuchsia

Words can't express how nice it is to be out and about after that awful cold! Yesterday's agenda included work and a media preview for Sancha Jewelry. That was followed by a wonderful cocktail party at the Room at the Bay in honour of Derek Blasberg and his new book, Very Classy. Between sips of white wine and wonderful conversations with people I hadn't seen in a long time or was just meeting for the first time, I took advantage of the Room's superior lighting and full-length mirrors to do the quick outfit shot you see above. Fuchsia lipstick, orange blouse, purple skirt: it's not a colour combination I've ever tried before, but I think that when worn with black the effect is nice without being glaringly bright.

Then it was off to Guu Garden for a late dinner, where Alicia, Monica, Jen, Jen's boyfriend David and I had a terrific time talking over sashimi, tuna tataki and udon. (Did I mention how wonderful it is to be able to eat something other than soup and Hall's lozenges? Because it really, really is.) Afterwards, I met up with the boy at the dance studio where he was rehearsing his mambo routine for his Vancouver International Salsa Festival performance.

He took a close-up photo of my booties at my request.

Then I took a photo of my accessories as I waited for him to finish.

Event recaps full of photos will have to wait until next week. Have a great weekend, lovely readers!

P.S. If you haven't entered my Brave belts giveaway yet, do it now!

  2. I am in love with the colors. I always think the key to saturated tones is perfect tailoring, and you nailed both.

  5. Beautiful, happy, bright outfit!

    Isn't it amazing how much a bright fuchsia lipstick can camouflage one's sickness? Because I wouldn't have guessed you weren't feeling 100%.

    Congrats on being able to eat solids again! I seem to be living on a diet of tea, cheese and sugar at the moment.

  6. Had SO much fun last night, was really great to see you, friend. Glad you're feeling better and I just loved the bright outfit components (I really should have read the memo on spring neons haha). And those booties were such a steal...some really beautiful footwear! xo

  7. LOVE the colours! Dressing in colourful attire really makes you feel better, doesn't it? I know the feeling about dining off Halls, I've been feeling like a Debbie downer lately, hopefully you've fought your cold off.

    Have a fantastic weekend Lisa!

    P.S. The Room really does have the best mirrors and lighting.

  10. Loving the combo of neons! But I am one of those people who never met a colour she didn't pair with five others.
