Lanvin’s designs are so classy and beautiful. I have been enamoured with dresses lately and Alber Elbaz’s latest collection is hitting the spot.
As a complement to these beautiful designs, Lanvin has released a lovely video including looks from the Fall 2011 Men’s and Women’s collection.
So great, right?
I bet I’ve watched it 25 [...]

I can’t seem to get these miu miu shoes off of my mind.
Since watching the Fall 2011 miu miu runway show live with Kristin back in February, I’ve been seeing these beauties pop up in my favourite magazines and on my favourite celebrities.
What do you think about them? Leather and 4.5″ heel aside… I’m in [...]

I have a feeling this will be one of many September Issue posts.
I’m about 500/758 pages through Vogue and I have InStyle and Marie Claire on deck.
This photo shoot has been on my mind for a week.  I’m a huge fan of Sarah Jessica Parker and of course, love anything to do with “real life”. The gowns may [...]

SPOILER ALERT!
Project Runway Season 9 Episode 3 aired last Thursday on mylifetime.
I can’t get enough of this show. I’m addicted.
I think that as consumers we tend to think that designers live on easy street. I realize that in the real world Marc Jacobs and Sarah Burton aren’t tethered to a sewing table for 12 hours [...]

If it’s not one thing, it’s another. For the entire weekend I lost access to my blog! I am a person who knows nothing about the inner workings of the “internet”. All I know is that my lack of access was something to do with “an expired DNS”. I don’t know. When I finally reset [...]

Hi friends!
I’m of the opinion lately that fashion is timed perfectly. I was mentioning to a friend last week that I’m tried of posting spring/summer collections. In the same breath, I feel like it’s still too early to post fall/winter!
Couture in Paris saves the day.
I’ve been a fan of Dior forever. So classic. I was [...]

Hi friends! Happy Canada Day!
I’ve had this interview waiting in the wings for a few weeks and have been itching to share.
Danna is great. She has a street style/personal blog based in Halifax. She stops people on the street and interviews them… What are they wearing? Where did they get it? Â Where do they love [...]

Earlier this year I was sent two Cheeky Monkey nail polish colours to try out. I was insanely busy (work + blog) and didn’t have time to sit down for 30 minutes in a row to paint my nails and actually review the product.
I put the word out through Facebook looking for someone to accept [...]

Marc Jacobs is one of my favourite fashion designers. If he had a newsletter, I would subscribe to it.
Collections like this always blow my mind. Marc Jacobs creates almost a dozen collections each year for Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs. How does he find the time to create so many amazing [...]

Last Thursday was the Live Life Awards held at the White Room.
Fashion meets Industrial Design meets Theatre.
What an amazing experience.
Judith Mackin (punchinside) was at the creative helm for what I will remember as the most fashion forward event to hit Saint John in, well, ever. Picture your favourite clothing, jewels and shoes from your favourite Uptown [...]
