Wishlist: Dior Rings

“I want Lanvin, not diamonds” – said the pouty-mouthed Natasha Poly in the Lanvin for H&M promo video. Well, now that I do have Lanvin (for H&M), I also want the diamonds. Ok, not the really flashy diamonds – I’m no golddiger – but the super cute ones, adorning these lovely Dior rings. How cute are they??? I know this isn’t news, as these rings have been around for quite some time now, but for some reason I am really loving them right now. Oui Oui, Mon Chéri!

Shopping: Apartment 909

Apartment 909
909 Dundas St. West
Toronto, ON
416-916-7599

Not only can Dundas St. West brag about a few of Toronto’s best brunch places (see Hoof Café and Saving Grace), but as it turns out the shopping isn’t that bad either. Apartment 909 is a little vintage shop at 909 Dundas St. West, full of very nice surprises! From mint-condition vintage Dior and Gucci bags, to beautiful Lanvin dresses, the lovely shop-owner Beth is happy to show you the treasures she has in store. Prices are very reasonable. I mean, very very reasonable. Where else can you get a genuine crocodile skin Pierre Cardin clutch for around $300? Or that same Dior purse for under $200? For the condition those goodies are in, and for the selection Apartment 909 carries, it is very well worth a trip.

Some of the brands available at the store include (but are not limited to) Vivienne Westwood, Ungaro, Lanvin, Chanel, Pucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Helmut Lang, J.P.G., Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. On my last visit, I picked up a pair of dead stock Marc by Marc Jacobs red jelly shoes. Perfect size, perfect fit, never been worn, and so very lovely. I would’ve been crazy not to jump on those! And there are so many other gems in that store, like an entire wall of vintage ladylike purses, and bundles of beautiful printed scarves.

So next time you’re in the area, having delicious brunch, make sure to stop by Apartment 909, and check out their amazing selection. Make sure to bring some cash, as credit and debit cards are not accepted. And if you do stumble upon a lovely find, make sure to brag and share some pics with us!

Friday Faux Pas: Tavi’s Bow

To some, even the thought of a 13-year old in front row of a Dior couture show is already blasphemous. But to have to watch a show from second row through Tavi’s “pesky hat”, must’ve been mighty annoying. What are your thoughts on this? Is it wrong to wear an obstructive hat in front row, or is she entitled to wear whatever she feels is right?

SATC2 Style: More Shoes, Please!

satc8

I don’t know why, but every time I see new photos of Sarah Jessica Parker and the gang filming SATC2 scenes, my heart leaps a little. It’s definitely part nostalgia, but mostly…it’s the accessories! More specifically – the shoes. Pat Field has this amazing ability to make clothes (and characters) come to life by pairing them with appropriate shoes/bags, etc. Love her styling choices so much!

Don’t you just love that they re-used Carrie’s Dior newspaper dress from Season 3 (very fitting to recycle it in this economy)! I guess it can be considered vintage now? So far the only outfit that I actually hate is Charlotte’s pink “power-suit”. It reeks of Businesswoman Barbie to me. Can’t wait to see more Carrie outfits…More shoes please!

What I’m Wearing: Strangers’ Wedding

No, I’m not planning to crash someone’s wedding, although that’s on my list of “before 30” to-dos. The wedding I’m planning to attend this Saturday is of two people that I had never met (friends of the b/f), hence the “strangers” bit. And since I’m not quite sure how dressy the event will be, I’m thinking something classic and safe. I don’t want to stand out, nor look overly sexy. The plan is to wear a black lace overlay tube dress with beige/nude lining underneath. My inspiration for the outfit will be Erin Wasson at Teen Vogue event earlier in the year (minus the showing panties), and A/W 2009 Balmain/Dior runway shows.
