One of the many perks of being a blogger in Saint John is being invited to things.
Last week I literally squealed with excitement when Laura from Perfumes Plus invited me and a few other bloggers to a PREVIEW of the Spring 2012 makeup collection from Chanel.
I am completely in love with the nail polish colours for spring, appropriately [...]

Straight off the runway: Alexander McQueen
You would never in a million years realize that Alexander McQueen is no longer designing for his namesake line. Sarah Burton has flawlessly taken over the reigns of, easily, one of my favourite design houses.
Her Spring 2012 collection is so…. haunted. And romantic. I love it.
The lace veils make the collection for me. And look [...]

Straight off the runway: Christian Dior
The fashion world was shocked when the news broke during Paris fashion week earlier this year that John Galliano (Creative director at Dior) was caught uttering anti-Semitic slurs. Fast forward to September 2011… Galliano was found guilty and was formally charged.
The Spring collection shown in Paris last week is absolutely stunning. The new acting creative director Bill [...]

Straight off the runway: Proenza Schouler

Straight off the runway: Project Runway Update
Project Runway is half over! I can’t believe it.
I’m really enjoying it this season. The designers are all so unique- the runway challenges but be a mess to judge.
The drama this season is getting a little old. Joshua is a CAT! I can’t believe the swipes he has taken at Bert and at Becky.

Straight off the runway: Christian Siriano
Literally, straight off of the runway.
New York Fashion Week is in full swing. Christian Siriano showed his Spring 2012 collection on Saturday at Lincoln Centre.
I’m in LOVE.
I’m so glad that colour blocking and little pops of colour are sticking around
So what do you think?
