While most savy Toronto shoppers have had Carte Blanche on their radar for a while now, many have yet to discover the sleek shop nestled in Queen West West a skip away from Trinity Bellwoods. Their stock is mostly bod-ass women’s wear and a small men’s section covering the best from the low end Cheap Monday, to the high end Gareth Pugh and Jeremy Scott. Bold prints and hardware are mixed with a sea of black pieces that will heighten any tired wardrobe, so check it out. A recent visit left me with the above JG4B bikini. Almost in time for 2 weeks of vacationing sun in April - sooncome.
H&M’s Garden collection is my first injection of Spring excitement. Scheduled for release March 25, 2010, the collection is made of organic sustainable recycled materials and plays on sun drenched retro inspired garden wear. So silky and pretty. The red dress is notably the collections piece to resistance. The full collection can be viewed here.
I’ve been meaning to learn how to use iMovie for a while now. This is my first attempt at a photo slideshow. The photos are from a 2008 trip to California, spanning Vegas to Tijuana, backdrop: Claude Vonstroke’s ‘California’. I’m so excited about this!! Check out the realnesssssss!!! Sound ON.
Holy Sex. If anyone has you sorted on the sexy wet lacey sheer cutout leathery legging front, it’s Black Milk. These tights are all that and simply WOWZAHZ.
I saw Network quite a while ago. Classic 1970s movie jibba jabba aside (this isn’t a movie blog, after all) - all I could concentrate on was Faye Dunaways fierce style, that matched the character’s cutthroat personality. Girl is bitching in her oversized printed bow blouses, solid camel suit separates and laissez faire outerwear. No wonder Beale had a breakdown, he couldn’t live up.
Undoubtedly inspired by the Sam Eledman Zoe Boot and keeping on trend with the covered wedge emergence, we have the breakout shoe of the season. Easily replicated, taking you to new heights. I was very prone to this style of shoe in my early teens so I’m all aboard, leaning towards the Jeffrey Campbell zippered version. Of course leave it to Campbell to make an affordable / wearable offshoot of the look. I’ll take lift where I can get it, but the Acne (boasting an 8 cm platform) and Anthropologie models would catapult me to Dinosaur levels. Not exactly conducive to office day to night change over.
