Wishlist: Alexander Wang Spring 2012 Pumps

Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and this is what I want to see under the Christmas tree…err…I mean under my nose, first thing in the morning when I wake up on February 14th. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge. I want these Alexander Wang Bianca/Joan Spring 2012 strappy pumps or bust. Nevermind the fact that they aren’t yet available online (well, not on any of the sites I frequent), because if le bf truly wants to make these happen, he just will. Unreasonable expectations? Never!

But seriously, ladies (and gents?), aren’t these ah-mazing? I think I would probably buy a pair in black…but the cream pumps also look pretty tempting for spring. Thoughts?

Wishlist: Proenza Schouler’s Valentine’s Day Collection

Isn’t it just the best when two awesome things combine to create something even better? Like peanut butter and chocolate, or ice-cream and apple pie? Well, the ~~boys~~ men of Proenza Schouler have just released a Valentine’s Day-inspired capsule collection…and it’s glorious! Better than any Reese’s cup you’ve ever tasted.

Gorgeous bags, clutches, and wallets in red leather and chain straps – make my heart explode with WANT. Prices range from $785 for a PS1 wallet on a chain, to a whopping $6,825 for a lizard leather PS11. Pretty pricey, that’s for sure, but still super beautiful.

OBJECT by George Antonopoulos for Danier Spring 2012 Lookbook

Remember when I was all like ”George Antonopoulos is a creative genius, and I want to have his babies!!!”? No? I guess that was all in my head, then. But seriously, you guys. Spring 2012 lookbook for George’s OBJECT for Danier Leather Collection landed in my inbox today, and I simply cannot contain my excitement! As expected, it’s gorgeous! Having seen most of the pieces at last year’s preview, I am still awed by the collection, modeled by the Canadian stunner Tara Gill. The beautiful cuts, vivid hues, and perfect styling – all combined, make for a pretty lethal combo – making my wallet weep with anticipation of what’s to come (complete and total credit card annihilation).

So far I’m calling dibs on blue leather pants, pink leather skirt, brown leather shorts, grey suede tank, and yellow (or pink) suede dress. What about you guys? Does this lookbook make you more excited about the upcoming spring season? Are you dying to get your paws on some of the pieces from George’s second collection with Danier? Share the excitement in the comments!

Wishlist: Prada Spring 2012 Clutch

How crazy hot is this Prada clutch? The entire Spring 2012 collection was chock-full of ah-mazing shoes and accessories, but if I had to choose just one – it’d be this whimsical clutch. I wonder if it will ever be made in red? You like?

Wishlist: YSL Ycons Collection

How freaking awesome is the new YSL Ycons collection? From the enamel cuff and rings, to the oh-so-lovely charm necklace…I literally want every single piece! YSL Ycons ($295-$695) are a perfect blend of whimsy, style…and everything I love: hearts, stars, “love” charms, and YSL - it’s like it was made just for me…

So if you feel compelled to buy me a Christmas gift this year, you know what I want (what I really, really want)! YSL YCONS with a pretty bow on top! Please, and thank you.

Shopping: Ela Spring 2012 Collection

I’ve been a huge fan of Ela Handbags ever since I’d met Ela Kowalewska and Martin Aldorsson at Lainey Gossip’s Smut Soiree earlier this year, and since then have been seeing her gorgeous pieces everywhere I looked. And for good reason – from the stylish (and practical) M.I.L.C.K. Clutch (starts at $280), to the lovely Lady Bag (starts at $480) - all Ela Handbags are designed and made in Canada, using highest quality Italian materials (aka the best of both worlds).

Last month, the ladies (and gentleman) of Ela Handbags stopped by my blog office…errmm…table at Marche, to bring their travelling Spring 2012 trunk show to me (sweet, non?). And though I already liked the gorgeous Ela clutches, after being introduced to the poppy bright colors of the upcoming collection – it was no longer casual…it was love.

Ela Handbags Spring 2012 Collection is full of colors, suede, and happiness. I dare you to pick just one! Double dare you, actually! Right now, I’m hemming and hawing between cobalt blue, fuchsia, red, and yellow. Or maybe orange…or purple. I think I might need help. Which one would you choose?

OBJECT by George Antonopoulos for Danier Spring 2012 Preview

The wait is finally over! Last week, I attended the Spring 2012 preview of OBJECT by George Antonopoulos for Danier Leather!!! And please excuse the higher than normal number of exclamation points in this post – but if you couldn’t tell that I am excited about this one, well, now you certainly can…because George…he’s done it again!

As promised, OBJECT Spring 2012 collection was full of color, classic silhouettes, and this time, not only leather, but also suede! At the preview, I once again found myself oohing, aahing, and making mental lists of what I MUST BUY once the collection hits the stores. Some of my must-buys included a grey suede shift dress, perforated suede tank top, blue (!) leather (!!) pants (!!!), pink leather skirt, brown leather shorts, yellow leather/suede combo dress, and finally one of those amazing oversized clutches in bright orange. Judging by the high quality of OBJECT Fall 2011, I know that these pieces won’t disappoint even the pickiest of shoppers, and judging by how fast the inaugural collection sold out, you too should start making your spring shopping list right now.

Overall, I found OBJECT Spring 2012 to be very wearable, modern and trendy, yet classic enough to be worn season after season. It was a definite departure from the moody blacks and greys of Fall 2011, but a welcome one at that – who wouldn’t want to inject some color into their spring wardrobe? And if like some of my readers, you missed out on the last collection, make sure to keep tuning in, as I will try to update you on when this collection will be available in stores.

What do you think of OBJECT by George Antonopoulos Spring 2012? Are there any pieces that you can’t wait to get your hands on? Share in the comments.

Wishlist: Miu Miu Glitter Shoes

I’ve already professed my love for Miu Miu Glitter Booties on my Stylish Bride blog (which I’ve abandoned lately), but I just cannot get enough of Miu Miu gorgessity this season. This ad, featuring Hailee Steinfeld living out every girl’s dream of swimming in sparkly shoes, is a few months old now, but the impact is still the same – NEED.WANT.GOTTA.HAVE.

Unfortunately, I still haven’t seen this exact pump online…but I am paying close attention – the pair in blue has my name written all over it. Which color is your fave? Share in the comments!

Holidays 2011: Gift Guide for Him

This year, le boyfriend and I have decided to limit our gift-giving to one present each. So whatever I end up getting him really has to count! Unlike me, he doesn’t get very excited over presents (crazy, I know), so practical is the way to go for him.

Now, I am not saying a $3K coffee machine is necessarily practical, but if you can afford it, this Saeco Xelsis Digital ID SLX 8870 MS is a Lamborghini of coffee makers, complete with fingerprint technology. And it makes the best cappuccinos ever! Perhaps I should’ve put it on my wishlist instead.

What’s on your man’s wishlist this year? Share in the comments.

1. Saeco Coffee Machine ($3,200)

2. Gucci Formal Lace-Up ($640)

3. HBC Collection Burton Snowboard ($795)

4. Official 2012 Team Canada Olympic Apparel (from $15)

5. Beer of the Month Club Membership (from $29.99 per month)

Have you seen the latest Joe Fresh lookbook photos? They are so fun and colorful – my two favorite things.

Wishlist: HBC Canadian Olympic Team Replica Apparel

Earlier this week, HBC unveiled its 2012 Official Canadian Olympic Team replica apparel…and I want it all! Especially the three pieces above: denim jacket with Canadiana patches, the 2012 version of this Cowichan sweater, and of course a pair of red mittens to show my rah-rah patriotic support (and to keep my mitts warm!).

I really can’t get enough of those retro patches. I would seriously wear this jacket all the time! Not to mention every time I travel…which is soon! Ok, I just decided…gotta get this jacket stat, before they are all gone! So much for my spending ban.

Have you had a chance to take a look at The Bay’s selection of Olympicswear yet? If so, what are your fave pieces?

More photos after the jump!

Wishlist: Aldo Trejos

Remember these ads? Well, the shoes I’ve been coveting are now in stores! Hooray! They are called Aldo Trejos…and they are perfectly adorable. Here’s hoping that they are also comfortable…although when has lack of comfort ever stopped me from buying a cool-looking pair of shoes? Never! That’s when.
