Pilcro

Are you a cords person? I am not.  They simply do not work for my height or shape, I find them entirely too bulky making me feel as though I can't move freely.  Jeans on the other hand, I love, especially skinny jeans as they make me look taller. 

That said, you may like Anthropologie's new Pilcro collection of coloured jeans and cords in varying shapes and sizes from Serif, Stet and Superscript.  I do love the colours. 

Et Voila!  Prices range from $88-$118 (via Anthropologie)!

Madewell Fall : Suspenders

How do you feel about suspenders y'all?

I have never worn suspenders and apart from always seeing them on Kevin Frankish of Breakfast Television (Toronto Morning Show), I can't imagine pulling off the look.

Madewell, however, makes it look wonderful.  I feel it would be hard to incorporate suspenders around a larger chest.  What do you think?   

SUSPENDERS, something you'd wear?  (Images via Madewell)

DVF: Fall Collection

Thought we saw enough of the red pants over the summer? Think again.  Albeit a darker hue for fall, the red pant is all over the plazace, as in Diane von Furstenberg's Fall 2011 Collection.

I'm feeling so inspired to wear longer sleeves again and with the rain we've been getting, I'm in a FALL (not foul) mood.

Shop the collection (and images via) Saks Fifth Avenue.

Francesca's Collection

I'm loving everything in Francesca's Collection, right now. And they're having a great sale on (30% off all regularly prices shoes and handbags!)

I love these cushy, cute and colour-blocked handbags ($38 - 44).

  

 

The geo-metric, chunky, colourful jewellery is gorgeous.  ($38)



The breezy printed and mod dresses are super cute.  ($48-)

 

MAD MEN @ Banana Republic

Who else is madly excited for this collection?

For limited time, Banana Republic’s new “Mad Men”-inspired capsule collection housing around 65 pieces for men and women is available at Banana Republic starting today!  Select stores in Canada are even having a cocktail party at 6pm to celebrate the event!  Just after I move, huh? ;)

Knuckle Rings

They sure look like they'd hurt if they connected with ones face.  Here are some of the more crazy ones.

Would you be caught dead wearing one? (Images via Pinterest)

Orange you ready for Fall?

Is it too soon to talk about Fall?

Maybe.  But today in Boston, it is pouring out there and it has me seeing umbrellas and thinking about fall coats.

I recently purchased an orange coat from Joe Fresh in Toronto, and I love the vibrant hue.  Now I'm seeing that orange is a hot colour for fall.  It reminds me of Holly Golightly's orange peacoat in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Would you wear such a bright pop of colour?  (Images via Pinterest)

Happy Canada Day!

The lovely Royal Couple are in Ottawa today for Canada's birthday!

How stunning is the Duchess of Cambridge?  Wearing the same cream coloured Reiss dress she wore for their official engagment shoot, topped with a beautiful red maple leaf fascinator by Sylvia Fletcher for Lock & Co., she looks absolutely incredible!  (Images via Dailymail)

Patchwork

As seen by SART on Rue du Renard, Paris.  Love her leather patchwork skirt.  Don't you? 



Here's a vintage one available on Etsy for $45USD - isn't it gorg?



More patchwork skirts.  (Images via Pinterest)  Is this something you'd wear ladies, or only have on your bed at home?

Magazine Covers

From a photographic perspective, magazine covers are one of my favourite things.  So much glamour and style is put into getting that cover page.  Of course, it's amazing how Photoshopped some of them are (and by some, I mean most, if not, all)!  Emma Stone, on the covers of Elle and Vanity Fair, looks vibrant and fun, but of course the Fuggirls always have something to say about covers that look wonky.  Still, Vanity Fair and Vogue (US, India,UK, Italia) usually have the most outstanding covers.

What's your favourite magazine to buy and are you swayed by who's on the cover?

 

 

IIFA Toronto

There was glitz n' glam and a GREEN carpet.  It was IIFA (The International Indian Film Academy Awards, like Bollywood's Oscars) in Toronto.  Some of the Bollywood stars (Shah Rukh Khan) rocked the Green (why that shade of Green? So unflattering) carpet.  Others (Amisha Patel in her ugly yellow mini-dress), not so much.  (Images gettyimages)

The SartorialTWIST!

Some seriously cool and randomly generated fashion is happening over at The Sarorial Twist.  Check it out....you won't be able to stop!

Have a great Friday and weekend everyone! 

Versace for H&M

Are you excited for the latest of collaboration with H&M? This time, it's Versace, coming Fall 2011. There will be 40 pieces for women and 20 pieces for men plus shoes and accessories.

Will you be standing in line when it launches?  Have you ever stood in line for any of the past collaborations? Lanvin?  Mathew Williamson?  (Images via Pinterest)

Zooey is the NEW GIRL

Have you guys heard about this new show starting in the fall?  Zooey Deschanel is going to be playing Jessica Day as the NEW GIRL on Fox.  (All images via Pinterest)

I can. not. wait.  I am a huge ZOOOoooey fan.  What is not to love about her?  For one, she has THE most amazing BANGS and tresses, magnificent big blue eyes and how adorable was she with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 500 Days of Summer?

I'm also excited that Damon Wayans Junior (that's right, son of funny man Damon Wayans) will be on the show, too.  We really enjoyed watching him on Happy Endings, which I've heard may be cancelled (why?! It was so funny!)  

Here's what Zooey had to say about WOMEN in television and film (btw, have you all seen Bridesmaids, yet? I think it's the funniest film I've seen all year!):

"I think we're in a time right now where there was a tipping point [and] so many of the pilots that were picked up were female leads, female written.  Girls are kicking butt in comedy and [with] 'Bridesmaids' doing so well, I feel like this is a new frontier."

And here's a tribute to all things Zoooooeeeey! 

Happy Dads

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!  

What did you get your Dad for his day?  Yellow sneakers?  Not likely, right?

Don't know if this dude is a dad but he's rocking the yellow Nikes.  Even the guys in Montreal are so fashionable. (Image photohogger)



Happy Father's Day to all the Dads I know!!!

Seersucker + Dad

I have two seersucker pieces, a pair of pants and shorts and they're so perfect for summer. 

Stella McCartney's Spring RTW 2012 collection showcases a lot of Hawaiian prints, bright colours, black n' white, houndstooth and a lot of seersucker. 



The origin of the word and material can be traced to India (derived from Hindi's sīrsakar which in turn comes from the Persian word: shīroshakar = milk + sugar) and was worn by the British in India during the hot climates.  It later made it's way to the U.S in the form of suits for Southern gentlemen.

So maybe something seersucker-y for Dad on Father's Day?

I love these gorgeous and hand-made Alexander Olch seersucker ties.



Great seersucker and gingham short sleeved shirt.



Perfect for the summer, a seersucker bathrobe!

Summer weekend shorts from L.L.Bean.

Summer Coral

These girls in Montreal sure knew how to breeze their way through the hot day.  And isn't that coral dress super cute? 

Here are more coral ways to brighten up you summer:

Essie's Braziliant - such a great nail colour!

My favourite lip gloss, Dior's Glow Expert, in sheer light coral. 

Great Ikat printed summer dress with a drawstring - gotta love that!

So sexy for those summer beach BBQs, tiered knit maxi dress.

The cutest coral flip flops for only $12.50!

One of a kind gorgeous and chunky coral bracelet.

How are you infusing this trendy colour into your wardrobe this summer?
