Sheena Matheiken is amazing! This girl vowed to wear the same black dress every single day for a year to raise funds for the Akanksha Foundation, which supports educational expenses (including uniforms) for slum children in India! It might not seem like a tough thing to do, but think about it, wearing the same thing every single day for an entire year…You’d have to be super creative!
Click here to check out The Uniform Project, donate money or accessories, and of course see how Sheena is changing up her little black dress every day for a great cause!

I must admit, when Stella McCartney first wore the lacy romper from her Resort 2010 collection to the Met gala, I hated it. Weeks later, although I still wouldn’t go as far as to say that I love it, I find this piece…interesting (perhaps because Anouck pulls it off better?). What I do love, is Stella’s Resort collection. Not every single piece, but this collection as a whole. Most pieces are so wearable, and while these clothes are still trendy, they are infinitely more classic than anything else I’ve seen hitting the runways lately.
Jump to see more looks from Stella McCartney’s Resort Collection!

They really should come up with a different name for this awesome gadget! If you’ve ever been in a crowded restaurant wearing a large purse, I know you’d appreciate this handy purse hook! Just hook it to any tabletop/bartop and let your purse hang! I’ve tried this out, and it can really hold even the heaviest of bags (I would know…since my bags usually weigh around 100lbs)! This one in particular folds nicely, so it won’t take up much space in your purse. Plus it will keep the bottom of you bag clean and dry, while saving the chair next to you for an actual person, not your purse!
You can find similar purse hooks at Indigo, on eBay and other online stores for anywhere from $4 to $20 in various styles, designs, and colors, some even custom-made!

No, this is not www.brunoblog.ca and yes, I am slightly obsessed with Bruno at the moment, but only because I think he’s incredible! How does this man get into character like this??? My mom genuinely believes that Sacha is gay. Not Bruno, Sacha. And that’s the amazing thing about Sacha Baron Cohen! He is convincing! He is Bruno when he’s promoting; he waxes and tans all over, and wears glittery lipgloss, and a bull outfit with some very interesting frontal bits to a premiere in Madrid, and yes, he does look and act very much like Bruno! But according to Dan Mazer, his co-writer and friend, that’s how Sacha Baron Cohen works – extremely method. So extreme, that he hasn’t washed his Borat suit for 6 years! Imagine how that smells! And that is why I love him! Some will disagree, but to me, Sacha is a comedic genius! I just really hope that the movie is as funny as everyone expects it to be. I hope it’s funnier than The Hangover. He deserves every bit of success that he gets!

No matter how amazingly cool these shoes look, they aren’t made for walking. These paper origami art pieces are made by a very talented French artist Mathieu Missiaen for his collaboration with Make a Paper World, and as far as I know, are not for sale. But say they were, would you buy a pair?

Name: Joanna
Style Inspiration: Kate Moss
It takes a true fashionista to wear a studded Balmain-inspired vintage blazer to a CMA exam! While most candidates probably wore wrinkly pajamas they studied/slept in the night before, Joanna opted for a more stylish option. Love this blazer! Love the fact that it’s vintage even more! What a fabulous way to spice up an otherwise boring exam room! And CMA marks aside, she definitely gets an “A” on this blog!

Sacha Baron Cohen has been hitting the media circus hard. Just like with Borat, he continues to attend premieres in full character. This time it was Bruno in Paris, wearing glittery ledderhosen. Al is in Paris right now! I wonder if she saw him!? Would’ve made my summer!
In other Bruno news, GQ needs to quit the publishing game, because this is the best cover they will ever have, so why go on? July 10th cannot come soon enough!

This is why I love Diane Kruger! Presenting at today’s CFDA Awards in NYC, the actress is looking stylish and sexy, showing just the right amount of leg in her little red mini dress. Tres chic!
And this time around I really like Jason Wu’s work! And not just because Michelle Obama picked him to design her inaugural ball gown. Love the shoulders, love the color, love the length! What a fun little dress!

Bruce Willis is not on my Top 5 List. But I do admit that I’ve always found him to be easy on the eyes, his smirk especially. I don’t know if he’s trying to outdo Demi and Ashton in the “whose relationship is hotter” department, but this Steven Klein photo shoot for W Magazine with the new Mr. and Mrs. Willis is all kinds of hot, and maybe just a tad disturbing. The issue promises to show off the couple’s “sizzling chemistry”, and show off it does! Bondage, leather, red gloves, naked-ish Bruce, it’s all there. If their relationship is really this hot, then good for them! Did you know that this man is 54? Wow!

What do you think about the newly released Rock & Republic Fall 2009 Plain Wrap collection? Everything in this new line is emblazoned with the name of the item in caps, hence T-SHIRT on a plain tee, JACKET on a jacket, etc. The idea here is “basic items with staying power”, according to the founder and creative director Michael Ball. But how much staying power really does a pair of pants with the word PANTS on it has? And even though this collection is definitely not as pricey as the original Rock & Republic brand, I’d rather spend my money on a nice pair of jeans that I’ll wear for a while, than on a novelty item that is supposed to be a “fashionable basic”. But maybe that’s just me. Plain Wrap will be available at Saks and Bloomies come this Fall.

It is the closing of the Luminato Festival and there is fun to be had at Harbourfront all weekend long! From free Cirque Du Soleil performances, to $5 Top Chef menus, it is almost impossible to run out of things to do and see. And we sure didn’t! Menus for the President’s Choice 1000 Tastes of Toronto ranged from ridiculous (who would pay $5 for 5 pieces of gnocchi???) to delicious (yummy crepes with custard and fruit). The weather was nice and sunny. And Cirque du Soleil show, perhaps not the most impressive, was free and still fun to watch. All in all, a fantastic day!

Style Icon: Kanye West
I don’t know if it’s because of my love of stripes, my love of Wayfarers, or my love of red, but I think Sal here looks very dapper! Love the way he cuffed his jeans and paired them with brown loafers. His navy braided belt complements his red-navy striped sweater very well, and seeing how I spotted him at the Harbourfront, Sal fits right in and looks ready to sail away!
