Congrats, Steph! Love your pictorial unveiling

I don't think I posted these yet, but I bought the motorcycle boot a few months ago. Love them! The leather is soooo buttery soft.....

And here's the two tops I mentioned....
The first is the medallion print from this season. There are so many ties! I am still trying to figure out all the ways it can be tied
I tried to capture the color. It's black, but has a brown and purple tones to it as well... very versatile.

The second is from 2006. I've worn it as a top, but I think it could be skirt too. The print is fun for summer.

Mona, your Ann D goodies!
Thanks so much for sharing, those motorcycle boots are awesome, as is the top and the skirt..hmm, isn't that everything? I love the print that Ann D has for this season and the combination is irresistible when it's used on this top.

Great buys Mona! I love the black version of the medallion print top, and those boots are divine! I'm sure you will get lots of use out of them for years to come!

 

[CherryBomb01]

steph, love loveeee your boots! They are seriously gorgeous.

mono, I like your moto boots too. All your AD buys are fab.

 

[sergio]

Mona13 - I love all your buys!

 

[Meg]

mona, love the prints on both those tops. gorg. And the boots! I still love the triple laced boots from this past season even if they aren't the most practical for a variety of reasons...

 

[justlooking]

^ the triple lace are the ultimate, mother of all fantastic boots.

Mona Mona Mona~!!!

I love everything. There's something about that skirt that makes me love it- it's just so fun.

Do you mind telling me how the motorcycle boots run?

congrats Steph!

 

[Mona13]

Thanks, Princess, steph, Cherry, sergio, Meg, and justlooking!

Princess - any update on the tie tunic? Were you able to find your size? I forgot to mention, it actually comes with a little instruction book

justlooking - the boots run big. I took a full size down, and I still have room. If you are considering them, I cannot rave enough them. I practically live in mine

^Hey Mona, that's nice to know! I took the plunge and ordered it in white...great colour for summer and I figured I will be able to "winter-ize" it with all the black and gray in my closet!
I can't wait to get it!

 

[Mona13]

^^Absolutely! That's what I was thinking too. The top looks great on it's own, but also layered. When I tried it on, my SA helped me experiment with different looks. It looks phenomenal underneath a blazer, and I also tried on one of those short, short skirts (tutu-like, in a cotton jersey) to give the top more volume. Such a fun piece!
I am so glad you decided to get it; you will love it! I look forward to seeing how you wear yours. I haven't worn mine yet, but I think I will this weekend. Stay tuned for pics....

 

[Meg]

well, somewhat bad news, a bill arrived from ups today. boo. with duties and taxes. ah well!

 

[stealthmodesteph]

Aww damn! That's too bad Meg! Was it about the same price that I paid? I hope it wasn't too much. I find it so strange that shipping companies are allowed to send you a bill after you receive your package. I don't like that.

 

[Meg]

I think so. Maybe about $15 more or so? I agree, i'd prefer to know up front before I use whatever I bought but ah well. it's still less than buying them from Mona Moore or saks so I can't complain too much

 

[stealthmodesteph]

That's good- I know, even with the duties/taxes it's still cheaper than paying Canadian markups + gst&pst, or the US markups + exchange rate on the price they were at saks or worse on ebay.

ps- I asked Antonioli about the scent they use (I'll let you know when they get back to me!)

 

[stealthmodesteph]

Meg, they told me it's Escentric Molecules 02 (the one in the orange box)
