Loooooooooove!
These Burberry strappy gladiator sandals are absolutely luxurious.
Stacked 5 inches tall on a wooden heel, these platform sandals are slick, strappy, –
Precisely what I need. The curvature of these Burberry shoes is incredibly appealing, and paired with lizard-embossed leather, I’ve a feeling these sandals would make great companions for my feet this summer.
And just when […]

Carrying a heavy tote in summer is hot.
And by hot I mean sweaty, uncomfortable, and not desirable.
I’d much more handle a small clutch that can carry my essentials. That’s why this Cole Haan croc-print wallet is so appealing.
Available in cherry or chocolate, this genuine croc-embossed leather wallet features gold-tone hardware, canvas lining, and tonal topstitching.
Cole […]

In a gorgeous black matte finish, I couldn’t help but love this chic caiman fuscus crocodile clutch. More deep grey than black, the texture of this bag is unbelievable. Crocodile skin is known for being smooth, and the caiman fuscus variety is no exception.
This Carlos Falchi clutch features a detachable shoulder strap (not shown), suede lining, […]

Spring 2008 collections are full of different interpretations of the classic trench. Some of my favourites are coloured neutral — no surprise there — but others, like this See by Chloe trench, are super bright.
An easy attention-getter, this See by Chloé trench coat is a classic trench with some modern twists. I love the figure-flattering double-breasted front. The beautiful linen/cotton blend […]

Though there’s no doubt that I absolutely adore MK and Ashley Olsen — well, more Ashley than MK, but that’s another matter — I’ve yet to find a piece from their Elizabeth and James line that I really love. There are dresses I almost like, skirts I might wear, and jackets like this one.
This Elizabeth […]

Before I discovered Toronto designer Jay Godfrey’s darling designs, I thought ombré was just a modernized tye-dye — overdone and ugly, — but now the cascading colour-block technique is really growing on me.
From shirts and shoes to bags and bohéme-like scarves, I’ve compiled my top ombré trend list over on ThisNext.
Do check it out and […]

To dress daringly — be it baring your décolletage in a low-neckline, or showing your gams in a minute mini — is dramatic, but to make it exotic, try throwing in a little print (animal, that is.)
I’m thinking a leopard-print coat by Dior that’s more fresh than spring flowers, and French Sole ballet shoes that […]

Back in 2005, he was named a designer to watch by WWD. Since then, Toronto-born designer Jay Godfrey has established rapport by dressing such celebrities as Eva Mendes, Jennifer Lopez, and Gabrielle Union. Neiman Marcus is one of three high-end department stores that retails his White Label collection.
Though several of his sheaths have caught my […]

What I love about sash-waisted belts is their versatility — they provide women with a way to cinch their waists or accentuate their hips — and no matter how sash-waisted belts are worn, they always look classic.
Michael Kors’ woven belt is beautiful — albeit pricey — and available in a dark brown or metallic gold […]

Save a glammy holiday party, I’m not sure where I’d wear a full-out sequined mini.
Good thing the holidays are here.
Compare this sequined mini from ASOS to one by Theory at Neiman Marcus. Though Theory is one of my favourite brands as far as quality is concerned, I much prefer flashy silver sequins to subdued deep copper. If […]

Most clutches are classy; this clutch is classic.
Available at Nordstrom, this handbag is crocodile-embossed patent leather at its best. Square shaped with a sturdy frame, it features a front buckle detail, three interior slip pockets, and — surprisingly — lots of storage space.
My favourite feature? The vintage-inspired levered clasp, which literally holds the whole bag together.
The ‘Hannah’ […]

So Prince Charming gives you reasons to go out for a night on the town, to look your best without exception, to glam up in garb others would call gaudy, –
But who needs Prince Charming if you’ve got Monsieur Louboutin?
Glitter sprinkled gold leather, set off by a peep toe and slingback, covering a platform sole, –
I’d rather slip my feet into this pair of […]

So today’s my birthday.
Last year I celebrated with 3 different fetes (all of which were fabulous), this year I’m playing it significantly low-key, but you never know what the day/night can bring — I’ll keep you ladies posted.
On my wish list this year? These gooooorgeous Prada satin and suede sandals. What a classic shoe, non? I […]

Fuchsia’s never been my favourite colour, nor is it one that I’ve frequently worn anytime since…
Grade two.
But this sweet sweetheart neckline dress by Stella McCartney is calling my name. I love the idea of clothing that accents a woman’s natural waist, and this dress does just that, and more.
Featuring a full pleated skirt with gathers, a […]

Everyone who knows me knows I’m all about Target’s GO Designer collections: First Stella, then Proenza Schouler, now Alice Temperley.
I’ve loved Temperley’s whimsical designs since I first discovered them on Net-A-Porter, and now that she’s designing for girls on a budget, it’s possible to own the entire — low-cost, high-quality — collection.
Think her GO designs […]
