Last week I had the pleasure of attending a Bloggers Breakfast hosted by Tiffany and Co. where we were served coffee, crepes and diamonds — the perfect way to start a girl’s day! As we oohed and aahed at some of the biggest and most beautiful rings in the store, I was particularly drawn to the ‘Tiffany Enchant‘ collection, which debuted earlier this year in celebration of the company’s 175th year anniversary.  Inspired by the scrolled iron gates of secret gardens, it’s easy to get lost in the swirls of white, pink and yellow diamonds that are hand cut and set in platinum and 18 karat rose gold.  My love for the Old World is definitely encapsulated within this collection, yet the pieces are perfectly suited for today’s modern woman.

For this elegant affair, I decided to wear my white PINK TARTAN shirt with crystal collar that you saw here, along with a black PINK TARTAN skirt, Dior patent leather booties and a Lady Dior handbag.  Tiffany jewels, Wolford tights and a BCBG wool hat completed the look on this wintery day.

Here are some detailed shots of the outfit I wore to my friend’s party in the last post. The white shirt and pleated leather skirt are by the young and talented Canadian designer, Caitlin Power.  The sparkly buttons and floral appliqués (on the shoulders) make me feel chic no matter what I wear this piece with.  It’s certainly my favourite white shirt right now!

I haven’t done an outfit post in a while so here’s what I wore to a shopping party at Apt. 22 the other night.  The bangle, handbag and shoes are all by Dior, one of my favourite brands.  The pleated leather skirt by Canadian designer Caitlin Power is a go-to-piece in my closet this season.  What can’t you live without this winter?
