Spotted – London & NYC
A pot pouri of London and New York fashion week, a little ‘pick me up’ from all the dark and dreary days of winter, a hint for all of us Lululemon lovers that there is no excuse not to look good and here is the inspiration…

Iran 1970s
This maybe super random, but it is a cultural ‘find’. One that takes us to the past, the past that I would like to remember and reminisce about. I found this short film on one of my favourite online shops, so I would like to share it with you.
In the 1970’s, a petroleum pipeline firm commissioned french film-director Claude Lelouch to make Iran (1971) as a gift for the Shah’s wife. He apparently shot six miles of film in order to make the film, which is an incredible example of juxtapositional editing. The score was composed by Francis Lai. – Courtesy of Creatures of Comfort
Uptown Girl
I wish I could tell you; today I went on a desparte shopping adventure to find some great deals but that adventure is everyday! So when I found this lambswool angora turban at Aritzia for a mere $10. I bought it in every color! I guess not everyone can wear it but with a bit of confidence and will for experimentation, it really completes your outfit in a very fresh and unexpected way. Then the jumpsuit, (double trouble) the fact is jumpsuits are another obsession of mine and by Vanessa Bruno! Now that is a deadly duo for anyone with a passion for fashion… Last but not least my much coveted neon Cambridge bag, believe me,”Once you carry this arm candy, you won’t be a wall flower any longer.

Bye Then, Hello Now!
Enough of ‘Happy New Year’, ‘Happy Holidays’ and all that stuff, mind you it was pretty good, while it lasted.
Back to fashion and what we know best, let’s adieu to the past and start or restart the present. What I personally love about this line up is the fact that is very inexpensive, it is still from the past (thus the price) but it could very well work for the future. It is versatile and wearable, it is fresh and yet will keep you warm enough with just an addition of a cardi (grey) and a slouchy hat (black), don’t forget to REUSE, RECYCLE and RESTYLE!

Secret Rendezvous
This event was for a good friend of mine’s birthday. I must admit it does pay off when you have a bunch of single(ish) glamorous friends, they are bound to find the most delicious places and this place literally was of that sort…purely delectable.
A secret restaurant that was at the chefs own pad!!! How cool and how exclusive, it meant we were the only guests. It was the most gorgeous food and let me tell you, this is one of the only times that I dare to compare this experience to one that I had years ago in Cadaques, Barcelona.
Unfortunately, I cannot reveal where and how you get there. It is for me to tell the tale and for you curious cats to find out for yourselves.
TopShop
“We have done our own version of ‘Edited Top Shop’, of course with much more of an array of delicious pieces to choose from, let this be a little teaser for our readers to take a trip to the constantly evolving, “Bay Downtown”. It’s worth the visit!
From Right to Left: Leopard Shoe $110, Shift Dress $80, Sequin Top $88, Stripe Tank $56, Floral Dress $88, Bag $56
Gastown Hop
We were out and about the lovely and mysterious Gastown, night of Gastown Hop, going to such gorgeous shops like Nouvelle Nouvelle (my absolute favourite), One of a Few, Oak + Fort, Ishara, Orling & Wu, etc.
How can any gal go wrong with wining, dining, mingling and SHOPPING…? This is the perfect combination of a good old retail therapy with only a massage missing in between…. We scored some amazing Faranak’s Fab Finds! A wicked over sized leopard printed sweater by ‘One Teaspoon’ (an upcoming Australian brand) 30% off at Nouvelle Nouvelle and an antique(esque) brass sphere clock necklace, that I swear, could have been at least over a few hundred dollars but only a mere $65 at Oak & Fort!!!
Now that is what we call a Faranak Fab Find!”
FFF DIY: Votive Candle!
While seeking inspiration and fab finds, I stumbled upon a lovely ‘Do It Yourself’ Votive Candle project on Brunch at Saks that I wanted to share with all my readers.
What a simple wonderful way to add a character of Mother Nature and coziness to your home.
