I am loving the soft, feminine look that Louis Vuitton took with their Spring/Summer line this year. All the pastels and off whites are getting me excited for summer!
I was in Zara the other day and noticed the entire store looked like it was inspired by the newest Louis Vuitton collection. I saw a ton of silks, florals and crocheted fabrics in beautiful pastels. Unfortunately you cannot purchase with Zara online, but step into your nearest location when you get a chance, it’s worth checking out! Below are a few of my favorites:
Dress $99.90
Blouse $59.90
Blouse $59.90
Skirt $79.90
Dress $99.90
Trousers $79.90
Dress $99.90
Shoes $89.90 (These shoes are almost an exact replica of the LV ones!)
Shoes $109.00
Shirt Collar $29.90
Hairband $15.90
Purse $79.90
Its Friday and I thought we’d take a peek at this weeks hottest fashion! Looking back at celebrity street style and red carpet fashion, which is your favorite ensemble of the week?
Tom Felton.
What a great edgy look for guys to try out! (**Tip: Don’t wear socks when your ankles are exposed!**)
Michelle Williams in Valentino.
She is positively glowing! Love this color on her.
January Jones in Jenny Packham.
Channeling a more 1960′s look, I am loving the ice blue on her and the pink streak in January’s hair!
Elizabeth Banks in Bill Blass and Jennifer Lawrence Ralph Lauren Collection.
The yellow is a fun bold choice for Elizabeth, and Jennifer is wearing the perfect dress to accentuate her small waist.
Liam and Chris Hemsworth.
Liam is classic with black and white, while Chris is a bit more casual with his suit. Chris has my personal favorite look of the week. Its versatile for all men. You can just modify it with jeans to make it a bit more casual, or dress it up with an unbuttoned white dress shirt.
Beyoncé with baby Blue.
Loving those sunglasses and flats Beyoncé is wearing! YES that’s Beyoncé in flats?!
Drew Barrymore with her finance.
Always a fan of Drew. Pretty sure I could make this outfit happen tomorrow, all I’d need to do is make a quick run to H & M for some teal pants!

Are you anticipating the return of Mad Men on March 25th as much as I am? Have you been going through Don Draper drama withdrawal? Do you miss the click-click-click of the typewriters or the clank of the ice cubes hitting the whiskey glass?
One of the things I miss most about Mad Men is the fashion. Don always is looking super dapper, but its the ladies fashion that always grabs my eye. Which female lead is your favorite? Do you love the sexy Joan, the classic Betty or the modest Peggy?
At the GQ Man of The Year Awards, Jamie King looked gorgeous. This inspired me to create a new Get The Look post!
Jamie is wearing a retro style party dress, which is perfect for upcoming holiday season. This A-Line shaped dress is a great style for EVERY body type; because of this it is my personal favorite style dress for the holiday season.
With this retro style dress, I recommend keeping the hair simple. You can do a sleek down ‘do, like Jamie did, or a french twist. Keep the accessories to a minimum. I recommend a good strong earring and a clutch. Finish off the look with a pair of black heels- either peep toes or t-straps to keep with the retro feel. For a more edgy look go with a bootie or platform shoe.
Take a peek at my Get The Look style sheet, (see below) for how you can get Jamie’s style. Everything on the style sheet can be purchased online at Mod Cloth.
Last week Jude Law made an appearance at the Beyond Time: William Turnbull premere wearing an awesome look for fall. Jude is known for his edgy but effortless style, and I love this look because it’s easy for men to wear and for you to modify to fit your personal style.
If you are more classic, stick to a straight leg cuffed jean like Jude has done, and if you are more fashion forward go for a skinny cut jean tucked into your boots. Maybe fedora’s aren’t your thing? Go for a slouchy touque/beanie instead.
Take a look at my Get The Look style sheet below for some inspiration. All the items you can purchase online at Asos.
Winter is fast approaching us, and this year I thought I might actually succumb to purchasing a pair of proper “winter boots.” All my years living in Manitoba and now in Vancouver I have never owned a pair of rubber/waterproof boots. I have been doing some research and came across a few cute styles that you could wear throughout the day, without looking like a complete idiot! Haha…
Sperry Top-Sider Trinity Boot, $160
Loefer Randall Le Rain Bootie, $165 (Black Is The New Black personal favorite!)
Sperry Top-Sider Hingham Boot, $98
Marc Jacobs, $160
Sperry Top-Sider Albatross Boot, $225
Sorel, $200
Urban Outfitters Matte Rubber Rain Boot, $48
Which of these are your favorite boots? Or do you already own a great pair? If so, feel free to share a link with the rest of us!
Yves Saint Laurent debuted their spring Ready To Wear line at Pairs Fashion week to great reviews. Head designer Stefano Pilati created classic French designs that are already becoming the object of many women’s desires!
When I was looking through the photos from the runway I couldn’t help but see something I desired…shoes! Looks like the cap-toe shoe trend is heading into spring, and we are seeing a more sturdy heel. I’m sure we are going to see everyone rocking their favorite pairs very soon!
My personal favorite are the pink heeled oxfords! Which are your favorite YSL shoes?
Dolce & Gabbana win my vote for his season! LOVE everything about their Fall 2011 line. Usually I’m not their biggest fan but this season I am loving the mix of menswear inspired suiting with feminine animal and star prints. Their is so many pieces that I’d die to have in my wardrobe…if only…
Take a look at the full fashion show here:
Here is a quick look at some of my style inspirations behind the Dolce & Gabbana line:
They are so beautiful. I think I’m dying inside because they are $347USD. Sigh…
JIMMY CHOO! This should get the line-ups going around the block! Who doesn’t want to own a Jimmy Choo handbag or shoes?!? The collection hits stores November 14. Mark your calendars!!
Due to the recent flood of great weather, I feel the urge to guide men in the area of buying shorts. Similar to my ladies shorts post, there are quite a few nice styles at Urban Outfitters. First, here’s a few tips when buying shorts:
-If you are under 5’9″ the length of the shorts must be 1″-3″ above the knee. Anything longer will end up making you look shorter.
-If you are over 5’9″ you can wear a longer short. No capri’s please!
-Think about the footwear you are wearing- it must be a sandal or a casual city shoe, NO chunky white gym shoes or dressy loafers.
-Do NOT wear socks. If you must due to a foot issue, make sure they are ankle socks!
-Trunks/board shorts are NOT meant to be worn anywhere else but the beach!!!!!!
Footwear from Urban Outfitters that is appropriate to wear with shorts:
Since Yves Saint Laurent put out these crazy cage shoes for spring 2009 we’re seeing shoes with cut outs everywhere. Here are a few more afforable styles:
$90 from Aldo Shoes
$129, Sterling Shoes
$750 Mark Jacobs From Gravity Pope
$90 From Top Shop
This winter/spring there seems to be a horrible trend going around-WHITE BOOTS.
Even with these celebrities wearing clean and simple boots- they still DON’T look good. All these girls have slim legs and still these boots make their calves look chunky. Not the best idea for anyone. Just picture each of those outfits with a lovely pair of black or grey boots…ahhh much better!
To be honest the tend to make you look like a go-go girl or heaven forbid, a little costume-y! So if you bought a pair this year, set them aside! The only acception to the rule is if they are off white ankle boots that are flat and casual…that is THE ONLY style that is remotely wearable. Something more like these:
I fell in love with a pair of over the knee boots by Chinese Laundry.

Then I started searching around for more over the knee boots, because I know there must be something better. I found these, from Urban Outfitters:
I love them both but I cant decide! I like the fact that the Urban Outfitters boots have a rubber sole, but they are suede, and I live with a very rainy winter…The Chinese Laundry boots are wedges, and they have a hard sole.
Does anyone know any good Canadian shopping sites where I can find my perfect pair of boots?
