Maxi dresses in winter

I have a serious obsession for maxi dresses and more so in winter where it provides an alternative to pants/leggings. 

I have featured a collection of outfits styled by some of my favorite bloggers - exceptionally talented ladies who inspire me on a daily basis. Hope this inspires you too!

Living a Gypsy Life

via Style of a Fashionista blog 

love the Top Hat 


I have always related to Gypsies............maybe it comes from living in 5 countries, moving in and out of 13 homes, travelled over 31 countries..........and these are just the ones I remember.

Sometimes I find myself sitting at my workstation saying ``I want to go home``........and I always wonder why I am saying it. Anyhoo let`s hope Canada is our last stop as we love it here!

Some pics of Kate at her best !!

Kimonos styled by some of my favorite bloggers. Seriously a sequinned Kimono - Jane always finds the gems!
via Forever 21 online store 
via Merlins Maiden Etsy Shop 

I finally could take it no more and broke down & bought 2 kimonos - one a fringed black and white one from an Etsy store, and another silk one from Forever 21 (both featured above). The fringed one can be dressed up over a fitted black mini or dressed down with a white tee and cut offs. The silk blue one is pretty cool as the back is longer than the front, it has pockets and slits on either side - small details that I really like.

 And what this is all leading to...........the ultimate kimono above in silk and velvet. I love it so because of the graduated hem line, the velvet trim, the long tassles and pretty much everything else. The price is steep and I will probably have to go hungry for a couple of months to afford it but never say never!
