Tiffany & Co. Fall 2011 Leather Collection

Have you guys seen Tiffany & Co.’s new fall leather collection? 

I am swooning over the fantastic textures, prints and colours.  Just yesterday, I painted my nails a Tiffany blue, thanks to China Glaze's "For Audrey" nail polish.

Here's a sneak peek from the look book. 

Among my favouries are the Tiffany Avenue Shopper, the versatile and celeb favourite, Reversible Tote and the amazing clutches.   (Images via Tiffany & Co. )

Vacation with Tiffany's

Getting ready for our trip to Amsterdam with this brilliant Tiffany-esque (actually called "For Audrey") nail polish. And speaking of Tiffany's, have you seen Tiffany & Co.'s Fall Collection?  More on that tomorrow!

Hunter

We've talked about them before:  rainboots.  And with all the rain we've been getting in Boston, I was happy to find these Hunter boots on sale for $49.99 at The Tannery in Boston on the weekend.  I love the beautiful rust colour and am surprised to have fit into a size 5!  For rainboots, the snugger fit with a sock is perfect, so the heel doesn't lift.  This will be a welcome addition to my favourite Kate Spade pair, that is, when our furniture and belongings finally arrive (going on 3 weeks now, guys!).

What sort of rain footwear to you prefer?



 

 

 

 

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.

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? ;)

Sam Studelman

Sam Edelman is my all-time favourite shoe designer, mostly for flats.  I have been swooning over these studded heels, though.  I love anything studded, if you'll remember from here and here (hello Valentino!)

How do you feel about studded heels?

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)

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 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?

Luxemi

Refinery29 just annouced the launch of Luxemi.com, the online source for lovely indian clothing, which you can RENT from too.  If you've ever been to an Indian wedding or function, you know how expensive those outfits can be, not to mention the accessories (which btw, they rent out, too!) and often times you'll only wear a sari, that you bought for $$$, once!  Sign me up!

BIG Bows + PRABAL Gurung

Exciting that Prabal Gurung has a new collection at J.Crew. Although I'm not much of  J.Crew fan, I do like me some bows, and this very limited edition (only 50 pieces made of some of the styles and some already sold out) is all "exploding" bows. 

Pre-ordering happening right now, or available in store next week. 

Get your bow on. 

Katie did.  Although not Prabal Gurung, but a Holmes & Yang top and skirt with a giant bow in her face. 

What do you think about bows, big or small?
