I spotted Leandra Medine, aka The Man Repeller just as she was leaving the DVF show. She's so sweet and I want her jeans.

Happy Valentimes!
One of my favourite childhood comic books growing up was Tin Tin. That, and Archie comics. Needless to say I was pretty excited about the Tin Tin film (incredible btw) and was happy to see this V-day storefront display at Boston's Black Ink on Charles Street.
I'll take an "I heart Tin Tin" cup over chocolates and flowers.
And, I leave you with a clip from a very funny Valentine's Day episode, from 30 Rock. Have a good one folks, I'm off to get my hair did!
How to wear Plaid in 2012
Refinery29 shows you how to wear plaid in 13 different ways.
Here's one way as seen in a flea market in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam: Accessorize with a Bicycle
As you can see by this video here (thanks Clair!), everyone and their grandma cycles in the Netherlands. It's true. Whether it's one person, or a family of four. Whether they're wearing heels, ballet flats or multitasking. They're cycling. Sans helmets, mind you. And apparently they have a "Sunday Bike" and a regular bike. The Sunday cycle is reserved for weekend excursions, whereas the regular bicycle is for city riding, and in case of theft.
Sometimes the only fashion accessory you need, is a bicycle.
Flannel here and there...
It's getting chilly out. Time to break out the bigger duvet, the hot chocolate, the flannel! As much as I wanted to hibernate this weekend, we went for a long walk along the Charles River, it was the perfect weather to break out the flannel - except this shirt is not flannel at all, but cotton and not as heavy to walk in, as it was still warm on Sunday.
Reminded me of this shirt I saw a girl wearing in Amsterdam at one of the flea markets. She had a lot going on, but the shirt stuck out for me. Oh, and the LV bag. (photos by photohogger)
How do you like your flannel? Shirt/blazer/socks/sheets? Or not at all?
Maroon + Booties
As seen on the streets of Amsterdam.
Maroon bag + booties? Check.
Cute peplum jacket? Mmm-hmm.
Cellphone? Yup.
Bicycle? You betcha. (photo by photohogger)
What's the colour of your go-to Fall bag? (One of my faves is a dark blue Sak messenger bag)
Red Boots in Amsterdam
This summer we saw red pants all over the place. So, how about some red boots for fall?
I've hung onto my red Steve Madden boots over a few seasons, now. I purchased them a few seasons ago, and love wearing them when it's just starting to get chilly.
I saw many a boot in Amsterdam as it was quite cold and rainy over there.
These girls had red covered. (photographs by photohogger) How are you planning on wearing red this fall?
And stay tuned for a super chic jewellery giveaway from Esma Studios happening tomorrow!!

Amsterdots
I just donated a polka dotted hoodie from H&M amongst other articles of clothing which didn't fit in the closets here (having moved from a house in the burbs of Ontario to an apartment in Cambridge). I also didn't know about the SIP and SWAP until too late, which would have been ideal for the boxes of clothes that we had. Still, it's a good thing I didn't get rid of all my polka dots, as it's all very trendy and happening this season.
It was also happening in Amsterdam. (photos by photohogger)
Are you en trend? Or an avid avoider of polka dots?
Amsterdam: Bows
As seen in the Amsterdam flower market. Love the red lips, fab colours and the bow in her hair!
Would you wear a bow in your hair? (photo: photohogger)
Army
Amsterdam was fairly chilly, something I wasn't really expecting. I knew it was raining over there, but it was quite cold, as well, which resulted in me having to purchase a hooded trench from H&M before I froze my a$$ off. If only I'd seen something like what these two were sporting. These ladies sure knew how to keep warm. And notice the red pants. <3
What do you think of the army jacket? Is it something you'd wear this fall? (photo, photohogger)
Two Tones
Hi guys! I'm back from Amsterdam. We also went to Greece for a week, but more on that later.
Firstly, I absolutely loved Amsterdam.
Holy bicycles, Batman! And the multitasking that these men and women do on their bicycles. And in such beautifully tailored suits and magnificent heels. Impressive, to say the least. I can barely ride a bike let alone, hold an umbrella. Or, in this case, a cigarette.
Love the two tone booties with leather pants. (photos by photohogger)
How are you at multi-tasking on a bicycle?
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!

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!!!
Summer Coral
(Image photohogger)
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?
Hats
The straw fedora is so popular this summer; I have to admit I have one too, which I bought at a flea market in Paris last summer, and love wearing it with everything from dresses to shorts and a t-shirt.
In Montreal hats were a popular accessory, too. Do you have a particular hat that you like to sport on a hot sunny day? (Images photohogger)
