Date Night Style For Jazzy Night Out

October 22, 2014 by suzanne carillo

Date night style for jazzy night out

We’ve been hitting a few jazz clubs and jazz festivals lately.

I caught June Garber at The South Coast Jazz festival September with my sister…they made a video of the event and if you look very carefully close to the end my sister and I are in the video…right at the back on the upper right side at 4:35 mark you can see my sister’s head and me screaming and clapping behind another guy’s head in approval.

LOL My 1 second of fame blocked out by a guy with a very large head.

Story of my life.

We went out again last night to the Reservoir Lounge this time in downtown TO and caught Sophia Pearlman and Mary Mckay.

What a BLAST we had!

Here is a video of Mary Mckay rockin’ a song I didn’t know but now love…

Everyone was right into the vibe. The atmosphere and food was great, the martinis were flowing and the music was sensational! We stayed for over five hours.

We are definitely going back.

I can’t believe we’ve lived in Toronto for ages now and never discovered this place until now. I have a feeling visiting new Jazz clubs is going to a new favourite past-time of ours.

This is what we wore…

Dress – Nanette Leporé, similar or this maxi with a cherry pattern is amazing! Blue blazer – Le Château, similar Boots – similar

Sorry I don’t have a better photo of this dress with the blazer. We took these photos in a rush before we left for the club.

The dress my newest consignment store find. It is Nanette Laporé. The jacket Le Château and both are consignment. The boots I’ve had for at least 15 years, maybe longer.

Isn’t the dress unique? The seam detailing and cut are fantastic but the cherry patterned fabric is really the …

ba dum dum…

cherry-on-top.

You know I had to go there.

Robert went with what he thought was classic rat pack style. A black suit, white shirt and black tie.

Really GREAT Easy Halloween Costume Ideas For Adults

October 21, 2014 by suzanne carillo

I’ve found the perfect costume for my husband for Halloween…an extremely well dressed werewolf.

Well dress werewolf halloween costume

Seriously???

How freakin’ cool is that?

Meanwhile…I could go as his latest victim attacked while coming from the opera wearing a fabulous shredded gown drenched in blood.

Or someone like this…

Or if we want to play it more relaxed this is this great Bonnie and Clyde couples costume…

Great bonnie and clyde halloween costume ideas easy halloween costumes ideas for adult couples

I love to dress up for Halloween.

We stopped giving out candy years ago. I would often be home alone and there would be “kids” that were 20 years old coming to my door asking for candy.

Plus every year we would always have left-over candy that I would be forced to eat.

Now if we are home we turn out the porch lights and just pretend we’re not home. The scrooges of Halloween.

If I can scout out a good party to go to all dressed up though I’m there.

 

What about you? Do you have plans for Halloween? Will you be dressing up? Does your partner like to dress up?
