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.

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?

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 [...]

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 [...]

Oscar De La Renta is the epitome of feminine fashion forward looks. The prints, the red… I’m in love with this resort collection.
I feel like I new a few more party dresses in my life.

Usually I have a very easy time picking looks to share with you. I pick 9 or 12 looks from a runway collection that take my breath away.
The 2011 Chanel Resort collection may be my favourite collection from Karl Lagerfeld. I had the hardest time narrowing it down to just a few looks, so I [...]

I’m a sucker for minimalism. My wardrobe as of late consists of monochromatic outfits… pants and v-necks of the same colour. The Spring collection from ADAM is almost the entirety of my current wish list. I’ve been lusting over light colours and pastels.
The only thing about this collection holding me back is the abundance of high waisted, [...]

Diane von Furstenberg is a women at the very top of my “people I want to be just like” list.
{ DVF with Yvan Mispelaere, her new wingman }
She’s sophisticated, stylish, timeless, beautiful and so, so creative.
Her Spring collection is no different. Bold prints. Timeless colour blocking. Love it.
Are you as in love with DVF as I [...]

I was so lucky to get invited to PGal’s Closet Saturday evening for a fashion show to debut her new clothing line!
She’s started carrying Sympli, a Canadian line “fashioned by women for women”. The clothing looked so comfortable and light weight. I heard one of the models exclaim “I’m not wearing Spanx!”. That’s my kind [...]
