Have been meaning to post this Zara lookbook since, well, February. But due to unforeseen circumstances (laziness), posting photos now.
There are a few pieces that I love (the above trench, the Givenchy-esque blazer, the striped shirts), but in general, this lookbook left me slightly underwhelmed. Here’s hoping that March 2010 photos will have more bang.

Just looking at this J.Crew lookbook makes me really antsy for Spring! I am not a fan of pastels, but the styling of this photoshoot really works for me. Especially love the above photo with the fedora (so jealous, because they never look good on me), and the one below with nude socks…who knew that grandpa-chic could be both cute and sexy? Is it Spring yet???

I am really loving this “lookbook of the month” thing that Zara has going on. Different model each month, new arrivals, great styling…it’s all there. All you need is to sit back and enjoy the show clothes. My December favorites are: the striped top above, the one-shouldered dress, and the nude blouse (below). Will have to stop by Zara today, to see if any of these are already in stores. Are you liking December’s offerings?



Doesn’t the above sweater look like the H&M dress from my October shopping post?

The moment I saw the new Abby Moriarty of Catbreath collection for OBEY Clothing, I knew I had to do a post on it! Love this collection’s mix of grunge and rock&roll sensibility. Love the footwear. Love the tie-dye. Love the styling. I was shopping with le boyfriend the other day, when he recoiled in horror after watching me pick up a pair of similar leggings (below). But seeing them in this lookbook, I think even he will agree, that a not-so-crazy look can be achieved simply by pairing a so-called “crazy” clothing item with something cool and wearable.
The collection was released yesterday online at the OBEY Shop.

Hot on the heels of The Row lookbook, comes Elizabeth and James Spring 2010. And this one, I definitely like much, MUCH better! Nothing new in terms of silhouettes, but nevertheless love the pretty dresses, the more serious separates, and the shoes! Are those shoes Elizabeth and James also? Again, nothing new, but still my heart flutters! It’s not even snowing in Toronto, and I am already thinking about my spring wardrobe. What is wrong with me???

I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything at Esprit before, but these ads, featuring Julia Restoin Roitfield and Daisy Lowe are making me pay attention! According to the company’s press release “Spring Summer 10, international lifestyle brand Esprit is revamped with a sensational celebrity campaign fronted by the beautiful Daisy Lowe as the fresh new face of edc by Esprit, and the stunning Julia Restoin-Roitfeld as the face of Esprit’s Women Casual range”. It’s the first time that Esprit uses celebrities for an ad campaign, and I must say that I definitely like their choice! Well, with the oh-so-stylish French Vogue Editor-in-chief’s daughter in tow, it looks like Esprit is in good company indeed. And as far as clothes go, I really like Daisy’s fringe vest! Will have to wait and see if the rest of the collection is just as fun!

The economy is still shaky, and it appears that the Olsen twins are very cognisant of it. Why else would they include painted on tees and socks as part of their The Row lookbook? And it makes sense, doesn’t it? Low on cash? No problem, just paint that shirt with some body paint/mud/markers and you’re good to go!
Love the red leather pencil skirt, but not craving anything else really. Though with different styling a lot of the basic pieces below will surely look much more appealing. Just not with mud and straw. Not for me.

Spring 2010 lookbook promises skirts, fringe, embellishments, pink scarves, multi-color patterns…No, I’m not talking about womenswear, silly! If you didn’t think that women’s line was anything to write home about, the menswear lookbook is definitely trying to push the envelope. As a newly converted omni-shopper, I look at the H&M Spring 2010 Menswear Lookbook, trying to find pieces wearable by moi. And so far, it’s pretty promising. Loving the colorful scarves, the leather camel-colored jacket is fab, and the feather t-shirt would look awesome with leggings. But the styling of this lookbook is just “meh” for me, but then again…what do I know? Are you loving any of the looks/pieces or is it just too much?

Fashion is a funny thing. It’s not even winter yet, and here I am looking forward to all the beautiful spring clothes I’ll be buying soon…ish. H&M Spring 2010 Lookbook has surfaced, and so far so good. There are many pieces that I would be happy to add to my wardrobe (like the jacket above), and a few that perhaps I need to warm up to. Either way, here’s some escapist photos, that will hopefully take your minds off the dreary weather outside your windows and take you to a happy place smack dab in the middle of May. Enjoy!

I was never a fan, but I’m loving Caroline Hedaya’s Spring 2010 Lookbook! That white dress with cutouts and the cropped lace top are on my must-have list for Spring! Amazing! Can we just skip winter and go directly to Spring? Not looking forward to the slush. At all.

Have you seen it yet? If you haven’t, then you must! The Complex Geometries Spring 2010 Lookbook, shot by the fellow Canadian Tommy Ton is here! And it’s nothing short of inspirational! At least to me.
Love everything. Scratch that. I love everything on the female model. Not digging the male model’s looks, but to each their own. Love the colors, the draping, the complex geometries paired with such simple colors. I think I’d wear these looks every single day if I could. It all looks so…comfortable. I really need more of these clothes in my life! Though I really can’t complain right now. Because so far it’s been a great day: won Body Shop goodies on www.beautyparler.ca, Johnny Depp is Sexiest Beast Alive, year-end work review was positive, it’s sunny outside, and now this…

Hello, my male readers! Did you think I forgot about you? Nevah! Yesterday I posted a few photos from the Zara November 2009 lookbook for the ladies, and today we have one for the guys. Unfortunately, while I did love the ladies’ lookbook, the styling of this one leaves me cold. The black scarf worn with a leopard print sweater? On a guy? Seriously? All together now “what were they thinking???”. I do, however, like the knits and a couple of the coats in the photos. What do you guys think?

The folks over at Zara decided to skip October, and give us a glimpse into the November 2009 shipments instead. I’m not complaining, because the photos are once again great! I’d bet it’s quite pricey to commission a lookbook every other month, but I am sure that consumers are not complaining. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love lookbooks. Great source of inspiration, don’t you think?
