DVF Spring 2010 Collection

Spring 2010 at Diane Van Furstenberg is full of tribal and boho influences.  If you like animal prints, flowy skirts and dresses the DVF spring 2010 collection is for you. Personally, I dabble less in the trendy pieces and more in the classic, investment pieces.  For me, the stand outs of this collection are the [...]

Love Your Louboutins

Last summer, while on holiday in Chicago, I splurged big style on a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. I loved them so much that when I flew home I carried them as hand luggage and didn’t dare stow them above in cabin baggage. Instead, I tucked my shoes below my seat, safely nestled in their [...]

Monday morning blues? Turn them yellow!

Consignment Stores

I love getting my hair cut.  Not just because I love the scalp massage and being pampered, but because my salon is next door to my favourite high-end consignment store in Vancouver.  Consignment stores are great for girls who love designer but don’t have the paycheque to justify daily visits to high-end retailers. Last weekend [...]

Strategic Shopping at Crowded Stores

Your local paper just announced that H&M is carrying Jimmy Choo shoes this Saturday at a mall near you or there is a new H&M (or other such store) opening this weekend. You awaken bright and early on opening day to realise half the city had the same idea.  You arrive at the store and [...]

Marc Jacobs RTW Fall 2010

Simple, Beautiful, Well-Fitted, Relaxed Those are some of the words being used to describe the debut of the highly anticipated, celebrity free Marc Jacobs Ready-to-Wear (RTW) Fall 2010 show last night at New York Fashion Week (NYFW). I raced home from my other, full-time, pays the bills job so I could drool over the live [...]

Vacation Shopping

On a recent snowbird trip to Mexico, I found myself thinking more like a tacky tourist and less like myself.  I observed beach vendors selling brightly coloured wrap dresses, hats, personalized rice grain pendants and friendship bracelets. I realised when people head on sunny vacations in the middle of winter, the sun melts away any [...]

Oh Manolo You Didn’t!

I heart Manolo Blahnik shoes and have a dedicated section in my closet for my growing collection.  However, when I received an email from a certain department store touting all the trendy ways to dress denim, I was skeptical.  I firmly believe denim should be reserved for jeans, jackets, skirts and the occasional top.  I [...]

Valentino Spring Summer 2010

The Spring Summer 2010 Valentino show was full of  nude, gray, rose, lavender, and gold hues.  Critics were skeptical of the choice of colour pallette but fell in love with the design house’s collection of bags.  I personally loved the use of muted colour to showcase the delicate fabric and intricate design of each piece.  [...]

Romance is in the Air!

Whether it’s a night out with the ladies or an intimate dinner with your partner, you want to look the part on Valentine’s Day. I was trolling the Nordstrom website and came across a pair of gorgeous, red-suede Steve Madden platforms and a Maggy London little black bandage dress that is sure to flatter all [...]
