loving... lace dresses

Especially these ones from BCBG.

JULYA LACE COCKTAIL DRESS / KHLOE LACE COCKTAIL DRESS / WILLA LACE COCKTAIL DRESS

I popped in for just a casual look-see and was completely entranced by these lacey numbers. The pink one is a serious contender for a place in my closet. The best part is that I might actually have a fancy enough shindig to wear it to this fall. Maybe even two! The worst part? I already have three lace dresses. And an obsession, apparently.

Even though I left the store dressless (restraint came to me this time) I did manage to snag this tortoiseshell necklace for under thirty dollars. Don't you just love a good summer sale?

Hope you're having a fantastic week.

a summer wedding

My childhood friend Jacquie married the love of her life on Saturday. It couldn't have been a more perfect day for an outdoor wedding. The festivities began at a charming downtown park and ended at a popular wine shop - so fitting for my Malbec loving friend and her Argentinian groom.

 


Congratulations Jacquie and Nacho! We're so happy for you.

Besos, Dajana

heritage festival!

Happy long weekend, friends!

I'll be at Hawrelak Park all weekend long enjoying the Heritage Festival. The three-day multicultural event is, hands down, my favourite Edmonton festival.

It features 62 pavilions (representing over 85 cultures) and their dance, music, arts & crafts and of course, food. Oh, the food! There are 612 droolworthy items on this year's menu.

At last year's event, I ate my way through 20 countries (pics here). This time around I'm hoping to discover even more deliciousness.

I hope to see you there! And please don't forget to bring in a donation for the Edmonton Food Bank. This weekend is their single largest annual food drive. Let's help them reach their 50,000 kg goal.

j. crew men's collection arrives in edmonton

Come August 28, the J.Crew men's collection will be available at West Edmonton Mall.

I'm happy to share this news with my fashionable fella. The last time we visited J.Crew, Scott patiently waited in the shoe section while I painstakingly perused all of the lady items. Not anymore! In just a few weeks, he'll have his very own menswear section to peruse - including suiting, outerwear, shoes and accessories.

Another thing I'm really looking forward to is seeing Scott in a Ludlow suit. Just like this handsome violin-playing gent:

The dapper gents pictured are part of J. Crew's new feature Hello, World! that shows eight stylish movers and shakers from Hong Kong to Madrid wearing their J.Crew best on a regular day.

It's a nice reminder that good style is, actually, universal.
