I especially like the mustache "accessory!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-220958 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 15:28:45 +0000 Jonesy 220958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really fantastic wedding outfit! Very sophisticated, un-fussy, yet glamorous. You look so fab. Since olive green is one of my favorite colors, I am in love with this dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-220952 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 15:11:09 +0000 Sihaya 220952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele - welcome back. You look stunning in the dress and jacket and the fact that you're having fun oozes out of your every pore on those photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-220879 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 07:54:25 +0000 Ele 220879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies :)</p> <p>Jean, here are what I consider to be my best posts on the forum about curly hair:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dry-hair-remedies" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....r-remedies</a> (about conditioner-only washing)<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-all-you-know-about-curlywavy-hair" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ywavy-hair</a> (my response to Maya's question about our styling techniques)</p> <p>Oh, and thanks for all the comments about my glasses. I wish I could find a link online, but they're so old (6 years?) that they don't seem to be out there. They're my favourite pair, and the colour/texture is awesome in real life- a sort of "woodgrain" effect of tiny lines of different shades of brown. Perfectly matches my hair!</p> <p>I have an app't for an eye test later this morning, so I might be on here showing you some new specs before too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218924 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 12:51:39 +0000 Dawn 218924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your holiday sounds fantastic, Ele! Your dress is stunning and the London meet-up necklace and blazer work really well with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218900 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 08:13:24 +0000 yublocka 218900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back Ele. Sounds like you had an awesome time. You look amazing as well - the dress, the hair, the necklace. All awesome!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218888 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 07:16:11 +0000 Sparky 218888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are perfectly fab in this outfit! My fave is the photobooth shot ~ love the closeup, I can see the details like your bracelet, specs and beautiful hair, plus your pretty face. </p> <p>Your trip sounds wonderful. I love milk glass too, love picking up pieces here and there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218886 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 07:00:46 +0000 Katiepea 218886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele, you are one stylish and sassy lady.

Way to work a neckline, you look gorgeous! And where did you get those glasses? It is so hard to find the right color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218581 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:13:36 +0000 Jenava 218581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look great! very hip and fun but classy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218575 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:11:34 +0000 greenglove 218575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi EleI<br /> You look gorgeous- I love the dress with the jacket and I think that is the necklace you bought in London! I still can not get over how great your hair looks- I am going to search for your info on curly hair. Also- where did you get those specs? I want them. That color is perfect- I cannot find anything even close.I want to copy you!!!</p> <p>So glad you had a blast on holiday!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218572 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 22:06:09 +0000 shana 218572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele, you look gorgeous in that dress! Very elegant choice. Sounds like a fun trip! I have the same J Crew cascading cardi in olive - I'm thinking of duplicating now that it's on sale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218558 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 21:43:24 +0000 Ele 218558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Kari! I can't believe I posted that one, given my rant about how much I hate the whole hipster mustache motif thing on here a few months ago. Still, when being silly with your friends at 1am... not so bad, I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218557 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 21:42:22 +0000 marianna 218557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous and your trip sounds like so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218553 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 21:39:56 +0000 Anonymous 218553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back from your wonderful trip.

I love the color and the fit on you. What a great choice to wear.</p> <p>The mustache pic makes me smile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218545 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 21:34:51 +0000 Elly 218545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooo . . . I love your wedding gear. The gold chains, the dress, the jacket. You look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-holiday#post-218539 Sun, 19 Sep 2010 21:26:58 +0000 Ele 218539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, everyone! I've been away for the past week and missed you all- and it certainly seems that I've missed some great stuff here and on the blog, too. I got in yesterday and am only just now catching up on the Fashion Week and forum posts. </p> <p>First up, the reason for my trip: my friends' wedding in our hometown. It was beyond awesome to see all my high school friends again, some who I'd lost touch with and those I'm still close to. I was worried that the jet lag would mean that the bf and I wouldn't last long, but we stayed until they kicked us all out at 2am, dancing and talking. The weather was gorgeous so I was perfectly comfortable in my olive silk dress, and the sharp-shouldered blazer was great when it got chilly later. I'm attaching two photos, one of me before we left and one (friends cropped out) of me in the "photobooth" later on, wearing the jacket.</p> <p>After the wedding, we spent a couple days hanging out with my parents, cooking, vintage-hunting in small Ontario towns (I got some great milk glass and some vintage art for our kitchen) and meeting with friends for dinners, drinks and breakfasts. </p> <p>On Wednesday we flew to NYC where we had 48 hours to shop, meet with friends and family, eat as much food as we could stomach, and soak up the lovely weather they were having. I kept my eyes peeled for both Angie and Maya, but alas I didn't run into either </p> <p>I didn't make too many fashion purchases this holiday, but did treat myself to teeny Marc by Marc Jacobs shoulder bag in Bloomingdale's. I've been wanting a small cross-body for a long time, and this gorgeous purple number was the winner: <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=485222&#038;CategoryID=17310" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....ryID=17310</a> I also bought an olive cascading cardigan on sale at J. Crew (<a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/knitstees/sweatshirtsandcardigans/PRDOVR~29880/99102097028/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~20+17+4294967121~90~~~~~~~/29880.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../29880.jsp</a>), a special "DevaFuser" defuser at the DevaChan salon, a fun tote at our hotel's very cool shop and a bunch of nail polishes at Sephora. </p> <p>Oh, and a brand spankin' new MacBook Pro, but that's hardly fashion. After six years of working on my old one though, I can't say I'm not loving it! </p>
