Qualcosa Friday, July 25, 2008 9:44 PM

The Qualcosa has been one of the many pairs of shoes I've been lusting after at Nine West this season. They're now half price and after two failed attempts at purchasing these shoes, I finally bought them this afternoon. The pair the lady brought out for me had never even been tried on so this time there were no wonky straps or one extremely dirty shoe (and it was the left shoe, not the right shoe that they put on display!).

Today was an odd weather day. It was cold and it was hot. It rained and the sun shone.

Trying to bring back the yellow for Annah. I've noticed my flats are getting quite beat-up, probably because I wear them pretty much all the time.

Batman tee: Junk Food Loves Gap Kids. Boys tuxedo blazer: secondhand (Value Village). Typewriter key necklace: B*jeweled Vintage. Black bubble skirt: Urban Behaviour. Blue belt: vintage. Flats: Zara.

On Saturday night, I went to see The Dark Knight with a few friends. One of my friends also has a Batman t-shirt so we decided to dress for the occasion. Originally I had a different skirt in mind to pair with the tee shirt, but when I went to iron it, I discovered a rather large hole and I didn't have time to go to the store to exchange it.

Who else has seen the movie? How incredible was Heath Ledger as The Joker? Also, I totally felt like leaping off buildings after the movie. Unfortunately I don't think my landing would be quite as smooth as Batman's.

Dress: H&M. Striped cardigan: Jacob Connexion. Pear watch pendant: Marc by Marc Jacobs. Black ribbed knee socks: H&M. Black high heel oxfords: Aldo.

While everyone else is donning their lightest summer frocks, I always look like I'm dressed for winter with the dark colours, cardigans, and legwear. But it's always freezing cold in my part of the office (although that doesn't explain the dark colours).

That evening, I went to my second Summerlicious event, this time at 5th Elementt.

What I ate:
Amuse - Green Market Vegetable Bisque with goat cheese canapé
Starter - Salmon Wrapped Scallops with onion relish and soy reduction
Main - Lamb Shank Roganjosh with mashed potato and feta cheese
Dessert - Peach and Lychee Mousse with kiwi-lime sauce

Each dish was quite tasty, especially the mashed potatoes. So delicious.

Floral top: H&M. Flower ring: Forever 21. Gray trousers: present from Hong Kong. Dark reddish brown braided belt: dad's. Mary janes: Nine West.

Not much to say other then I wore this to work.

The top is one of my first Canadian H&M purchases when they opened here back in 2004. I guess throwaway fashion can last longer then one season.
