Bachelor Canada:And so it really begins…

We’re off to a good start I think – Bachelor Canada promises to be the most dramatic season in Bachelor history! Of the remaining sixteen girls I’m rooting for just a few, okay half: Bianka, Kara, Sophie, Britany, Nicole, Michelle B. and Ana. I’m not so sure about Whitney – I disliked her dress but thought she handled crazy Gabrielle quite well under the circumstances. And let’s be honest, the best way to handle the crazies at this point is to let them dig their own graves.

The fashion was rather disappointing though – With the exception of a few girls none of them had jaw-dropping fashionista dresses, opting instead for a prom meets sexy bridesmaid look. It seemed as though Brad was a big fan of flowy dresses like Kara’s red gown, so I think the one I chose would have fared well.

For tonight I’m choosing a relaxed ensemble for the group date, playing the girl next-door card: some short shorts and a white tee paired with converse sneakers. Plus let’s not forget a bright bikini in case there’s a hot tub scene… And there always is!

One of my all-time favourite rose ceremony outfits is the Victoria’s Secret jumpsuit Michelle Money wore during Brad’s second season. I can get tired of cocktail dresses and so this gorgeous purple peplum jumpsuit from asos is perfect. It won’t break the bank either – you can buy it online for just $88!

I’m curious to hear what you’d wear if you were on the Bachelor. Would you play it safe or play up this season’s fashion trends?

Holiday Jewels.

Trying to save cash this holiday season? No problem! Nothing dresses up your little black dress better then a statement necklace (or earrings, but we’ll save that one for a later post!) Anthropologie has a beautiful selection, at reasonable prices.

Les Néreides.

Nice was beautiful. Full of gems nestled in dimly lit corners. I found the boutique Les Néreides on one of its infamous streets. The french jeweler makes gorgeous hand crafted pieces; earrings, necklaces, bracelets. I bought my travel souvenir here, a hummingbird necklace.

I do, Alexis Bittar.

I purchased my first piece of Alexis Bittar last Summer when I hosted the Cravefest Awards,  a pair of beautiful gold hand-sculpted Lucite earrings. His jewels have the perfect marriage of detail, originality and sculptural beauty. I can spot an Alexis Bittar anywhere, and the phonies never measure up.

These are my idea of a modern promise ring.
