the hilarious Carrie from This Free Bird, proving once and for all that procrastination can pay off, at least according to random.org and the Shopbop Gods!

Style Stalker: Zanna Roberts Rassi

This adorable, and crazy stylish, Marie Claire editor has been popping up on street style blogs everwhere, as well as this little blog of mine here and here. Her smile is contagious, her style is at once inspirational and relatable, she never looks like she's trying to hard and yet her looks always leave you wondering, "Why didn't I think of that?" Here are some of my favorite looks:

I now feel the undeniable need to add a plaid shirt, aviators and white denim to my wardrobe.

Nice segue, huh?

Color Block Party!

Crayola brights ruled exactly twenty years ago in US Vogue... while I rocked a hideous perm, black suede lace-up shoes with steel tips (or, alternately, my trusty L.A. Gear high tops) and a variety of other painfully embarassing accoutrements of the era. Aaaahhh... nostalgia...

Shopbop x Tory Burch 100$ Giveaway!

I just booked a trip to South Beach in May with my girls! And what better way to celebrate than to bestow upon you, my lovely lovelies, the chance to win a 100$ gift card from Shopbop (courtesy of Tory Burch clothing) to use on whatever your little heart desires?

And of course, with the promise of days spent sipping mojitos by the pool, wearing out those Tory Burch flats strolling Ocean Drive shopping for tarty party frocks and de-pastifying my butt on a glorious white sand beach come the what-to-pack daydreams. Here are a few of my picks fresh from Shopbop:

Tory Burch definitely has your holiday basics covered: sexy cat-eye sunnies, bright flips flops to show off that pedi and a compact clutch with a little shine:

Tory Burch Oversized Sunglasses, Tory Burch Thora Flat Thong Sandals, Tory Burch Metallic Saffiano Envelope Clutch

I'm loving swimwear and cover-ups in sweet, slightly abstract prints:

Diane Von Furstenberg Morgan Bikini, Parker Cami Cover Up Dress, Diane Von Furstenberg Krystle Cover Up

And what's a South Beach-bound suitcase without a big pile of sexy little party dresses?!

Mason by Michelle Mason Strapless Dress, Alice + Olivia Drapey Panel Dress, Parker Baby Sequin Wrap Dress

So, let's get down to business: to enter simply be or become a follower of Idle Fascination on Google Friend Connect, Bloglovin', Facebook, surprise me! Then just leave a comment on this post and a winner will be randomly selected on Sunday April 24th! And the giveaway is open internationally!

Blogger Lovin': Go Bright or Go Home

I just picked up a magenta croc Rebecca Minkoff bag to give my current murky wardrobe a little boost as we ease into Spring. I'm drooling over all the bright shades reminiscent of sunsets and the sea... can you tell I need a vacation?

Painted Love

So, in order to properly contrast my last (sadly too long-go) post, and to celebrate the arrival of Spring (finally!) in my frigid homeland, and to celebrate me finally finishing school (tomorrow as of noon my friends, an exercise in extremely slow going higher higher education will come to an end) and because I'm feeling generally happy about planning a girl's trip to South Beach next month, you're getting a barrage of colour all week! Colour! Colour! Colour! Spelled Canadian style!xx
