Colour blocking has been blowing my mind. I mean, this past weekend I paired a striped pink and brown tee with black pants.
OK, so I haven’t completely picked up on the trend yet, but It doesn’t downplay my love for it at all!
I spotted this Zara lookbook on my Sunday rounds. What a treat.
Have you [...]

I’m in love with Marc Jacobs. There, I said it.
His designs are so fresh, so inspired and always so different.
Can you believe the same guy designs for Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and for Marc by Marc Jacobs. All three collections show twice a year and are all so individual.
Amazing.
Here are a few Marc by Marc [...]

Oh hey guys. Adam and I bought a house.
My obsession with all things “home renovation” has started. Looking at paint chips and choosing complimentary colours is becoming a pastime. Help!
We’ve decided to paint the house a very neutral colour. That will allow us (me) to accessorize and decorate!
Do you have any pointers for us?
Please share tips, blogs, favourite [...]

There’s something to be said for outfits that are effortlessly cool.
For as long as I can remember, Club Monaco had stuck to one colour palate, clean lines and great taste.
Their Spring lookbook is no exception.

Fun internet fact: You can buy Club Monaco on Shopbop.com now!

Since posting the interview with Jill a couple of weeks ago and spending Sunday morning in Je Suis Prest Boutique, I can’t stop pouring over the lookbooks of designers that Jill and Kiera are bringing in for Spring/Summer 2011.
I’ve spent the evening drooling over Valérie Dumaine’s Spring/Summer collection, and figure you should, too.
Take a peek [...]

What a perfect opportunity to share pieces from the Spring/Summer 2011 Eve Gravel lookbook…
In a few short weeks, these pieces will be making their way to the Black Dog Boutique on Germain Street. And then? Hopefully to my closet.

Spring, please [...]

I’ve been a fan of Lauren Conrad’s collections for awhile. She’s been collaborating with Kohl’s (in the USA) for a few years to bring “high end” fashion at v.low prices.
So far her new brand has been compared to Elizabeth & James, but younger.
What do you think?
I really like it. Chic. Simple. Great colour palette.
Don’t forget [...]

Erin Fetherson’s Fall 2011 RTW lookbook is AMAZING.
Her soft but chic lookbook is (so far) my favourite from NYFW.
I had a hard time narrowing my post down to just a few looks, so I didn’t!
Take a peek at my absolute favourites:
Click any of her looks to be linked to style.com. There you’ll find her complete [...]

Over the past few weeks I’ve been posting photos of lookbooks that I’ve been drooling over.
Pictures, pictures, pictures!
I was so excited when I found that H&M has an interactive lookbook – where you create the looks.
**It’s unfortunate that these pieces are not from their Spring collection
What a treat!
Last night I was creating looks and Adam [...]
