What I Wore: First Day of Spring!

Last weekend, it felt like Spring finally showed its sunny face, and it made me (and thousands of others) so very happy! After spending half a day at home doing meaningless boring stuff (laundry, cleaning, etc.), my cousin and I went for a walk in a park – High Park. The weather was chilly, the pond still frozen, but people still came out in droves to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air. If there’s one thing I love about Toronto, is that people here really do appreciate good weather. Not one sunny day goes wasted. When I lived in Houston, where sunny days are dime a dozen, I’ve spent more days than I care to admit, at the mall or somewhere else indoors, not knowing that one day, when I move to Canada, those days will be missed dearly. Will never make that mistake again.

Style Fille: Kristen Stewart

This past year, I’ve grown to like Kristen Stewart’s simple yet edgy style, despite my severe allergies to the movie that made her a household name. Yeah, that movie. For a while there, I kept ignoring any posts about her or Pattinson, but this outfit at the NYC premiere of Remember Me, that stars her “maybe” boyfriend, I just couldn’t ignore. I don’t care about any of the drama, I just really love her style.

There aren’t too many people out there that can show up to an event, wearing military green lace pants (which really do sound horrible) with unkempt and what appears to be greasy hair, and a leather jacket, and still ooze style. Military is a huge trend for both Spring and Fall 2010, and so far, these pants are my favorite piece to covet. Love the way they fit her just so, and love her styling choices. It’s always so much better to under-dress than over-dress, no?

Wishlist: Aldo Welden

Spring has been on my mind since…December. And now, most stores actually reflect my wishful thinking! Hooray! The latest on my list of “wants” is the Welden lace-up shoe from Aldo. Great detailing, perfect heel (not too high, not too low), and a pretty good price point – $90. I think I am sold. Now can we just make all this snow disappear?

Update: Got these! Now if only the weather would cooperate, so that I could take these for a spin!

J.Crew Spring 2010 Lookbook

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???

Erin Wasson for Pinko

Pinko, in my mind, will always be associated with this ugly…and I mean UGLY…baseball cap my best friend insisted on wearing during our trip to Italy. And no amount of begging and hating could change her mind on that hideous article of headgear. A few years later, Erin Wasson is the new face of Pinko, and the hate is subsiding. Love the shots (Terry Richardson to the core)! Love the styling! Especially the see-through lace dress! Very reminiscent of Erin’s earlier looks. Maybe next time I’m in Europe, I’ll finally be able to set foot in Pinko without shuddering at the memory of that cap, and think about Erin instead!

Guess The Price!

Okay, so before you start guessing, you need to know that this is not an easter basket left over from last year’s egg hunt…and it is is made by Chanel. Haha. Yes, that Chanel! Remember the Spring/Summer 2010 barn show? Well, this was one of the “bags” that the models carried. If you thought that this “bag” was made out of recycled flower baskets, stuffed with some straw and hay…you were almost right! Now how much would you shell out for this piece of crap art?

Guess the price and then click to see if you were right!

Hermès, McQueen, and G-Star…Oh, My!

Spring 2010 ads have been steadily pouring in for over a month now, and in the midst of even mild winter, here in Toronto, it’s quite nice to look at the beautiful Spring collections and dream of what’s ahead! Karlie Kloss’ stint for Hermès is one of my favorites – those scarves, that hair, the locale. Such a dreamy paradise shot!

And then there’s Raquel Zimmermann for Alexander McQueen. What a brave girl! The collection, which was full of reptile prints on the runway, translates quite well into the printed ads, featuring the slithery, yet beautiful creatures, and of course, Raquel wrapped up in their cold-blooded embrace. Now that’s what I call professionalism. Because if those snakes were slithering anywhere near me…don’t even want to imagine! Though I must admit, the McQueen ad is definitely one of the more eye-catching and stunning photographs I’ve seen lately!

Which one of the Spring ads is your favorite?

ScarJo for Mango SS2010

New pics of Scarlett Johansson landed in my inbox this morning, and I am not disappointed with this campaign. Not in the very least. Granted, we only get to see two looks from the collection so far, but the Celine-like trench-dress alone is totally worth a Mango trip! Thoughts?

Jill Stuart SS2010 Ads

How awesome are these Jill Stuart SS2010 ads!? I seriously need to start kicking butt at the gym in order to fit into the black dress above! I need one in my life! Love the embellishments and the colors (or the lack of). So simple, yet so chic. Less is so much more!

I Want it All…and I Want it Now!

After the initial look at the H&M Spring 2010 lookbook, I wasn’t exactly dying to go shopping – too many pastels for my taste. But this Garden Collection, ohh la la! The red dress. My goodness. It’s gorgessity, no? I love it sooo much! If any of you see it in stores, please drop me a line…because this is the dress I’ll be stalking until I get my hands on it! My closet is crying for it! Apart from the red-hot dress, there is a ton of other dresses and tops that are just too beautiful to pass up. And as if that wasn’t enough, you should also know that the Garden Collection is made using organic and recycled materials! Beautiful and mindful of the environment? Sold!

More after the jump!

Wa-Wa-We-Wang!

As it appears, messy hair, fuzzy and jersey sweaters, simple make-up, and Vogue meets PE class styling makes for an awesome “inspiration shoot”. Next time I roll out of bed and go to work without brushing my hair, I’ll be blaming Alexander Wang and his bevy of beauties.

Lanvin, My Love

lanvin02

How amazing is this new Lanvin ad? I want that white dress so badly! It’s not fair that celebs get access to these fantastic pieces, and us, regular folk never do. Le sigh. Might go to Holts to try it on and daydream of owning it one day. But not before a Chanel 2.55, of course!

Elizabeth and James Lookbook Spring 2010

elizabeth and james

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???

Julia Restoin Roitfield and Daisy Lowe for Esprit SS2010

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!
