Pineapple Bags, etc.

Bought this H&M Pineapple Bag the other day, and while carrying it home (sans shopping bag), I caught many a-puzzled looks directed at me, or my bag, or the fact that I was also wearing kitty flats, or all of the above. Moral of the story: buying a pineapple bag is the first step to becoming world-famous. So get to it!

What do you think? Would you ever wear one?

Anna Dello Russo x H&M Collaboration Sneak Peek!

anna-dello-russo-hm-2012

Have you heard yet??? Anna Dello Russo is collaborating with my fave fast-fashion retailer H&M! Don’t you just love waking up to good news? Judging from the sneak peek photos - the accessory collection will be full of GOLD, GOLD, and more GOLD! And I honestly love it so much! Available from October 4th, 2012, in around 140 stores worldwide and online, the collection will feature jewelry, sunglasses, shoes, bags and a carry-on “allowing H&M customers uniqueness at an affordable price”.

“I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H&M has involved a fashion director in a special project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist, I know accessorization is essential; it is the personal touch in any outfit. With these pieces, everybody can have fun, and turn an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day”, says Anna Dello Russo.

Are you as excited as I am? Share in the comments!

Wishlist: Alaia Nude Lace Up Sandals

wishlist-alaia-lace-up

All I want to say to these gorgeous Alaia Nude Lace Up sandals is…come to mama! How perfect would these be for spring/summer? Really effing perfect – that’s how. IF…they weren’t so effing expensive. $1,565? That’s highway robbery if you ask me. ROBBERY! Why are you trying to rob me, Azzedine??? What did I ever do to you???

And yet still…my silly (and impractical) heart just keeps on skipping at the sight of these shoes. What’s wrong with me???

Wishlist: Missoni x Converse Spring 2012

missoni-converse-spring-2012

I love, love, love these Missoni for Converse Spring 2012 kicks! The colors are subtle and soft, the prints are (as expected) gorgeous, and the end result is fresh, clean, and awesome. As a huge fan of both Missoni and Converse, I actually can’t believe I still don’t own a pair. Probably because they are so hard to come by here in Canada. Sigh.

The Missoni for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes will be available beginning April 14th at Missoni boutiques and select Converse First String retailers globally. All shoes will retail for $200.

Will you be buying?

Wishlist: Prada “Smoking Lips” Shoes

I don’t smoke, nor do I condone smoking, but…I am crushing hard on these Prada “Smoking Lips” shoes. Shoe whimsy sets my heart aflutter, so obviously, now I really want a pair.

What do you think?

Jacob Spring 2012 Lookbook

Making a mental note to stop by the nearest Jacob store to check out their spring arrivals, because from what I’ve seen so far – I like! Seriously, how gorgeous is that floral dress (above)?! Just imagine how fresh you’ll look at the office this spring…I’m imagining that right now. And that black and white Chanel-esque cuff? Need it!

If like me, you have been to Jacob in a while, I think it’s time to pay them a visit. Dibs on all the pretty dresses!

Wishlist: Valentino Studded Flat Sandals

valentino-stud-flat-sandals

As I enter the final stages of my honeymoon prep, I am still stuck trying to find a pair of cute and comfy flats to bring with me. A pair that would go with all (or most of) my outfits, and wouldn’t mangle my feet. I’ve been looking for a while…when I saw them.

These gorgeous Valentino Studded Leather Flat Sandals ($845) are perfection in a pair of lovely gladiator-style flats. And if not for their ridiculously high price tag…they would be mine in a heartbeat. Alas…they are crazy expensive…and therefore will probably stay on my wishlist forever…or until it’s time for summer sales.

Don’t you just hate it when you find something perfect, and yet it’s still out of your reach? I think it’s time to start playing the lottery!

If you’re looking for a perfect gift for that special fashion lover who seems to have it all, look no further. Handmade by women in Swaziland who are living with HIV, these limited edition Lanvin Cotton Dolls ($400 each) are not only amazingly cute, they contribute to a great cause too. Percentage of proceeds from sale of these stylish dolls will go to Dessine L’Espoir – a charity that “assists individuals and communities living with HIV/AIDS and the resulting impact by providing support in the form of home-based care, medical, food and shelter and psychological support; as well as running training programmes such as sewing workshops, offering financial assistance and establishing income-generating projects”.

Do you like these Lanvin sure-to-become-collectible dolls? Which one is your fave? Share in the comments.

Alberta Ferretti for Macy’s Impulse Lookbook

Alberta-Ferretti-Macys-Impulse-Collection-Pictures

When I stumbled upon these lookbook photos from Alberta Ferretti’s collaboration with Macy’s Impulse…I pretty much squeeled with excitement. Set in Positano, Italy…these photos are the essence of what I hope my wedding getaway will feel (and look) like. I’d like to imagine that this entire lookbook was shot with my honeymoon in mind!

Everything in the Alberta Ferretti x Macy’s Impulse collection is priced between $49 and $119, and will be sold at 185 Macy’s locations across the US starting April 17.

With that said…me thinks a trip to Buffalo is in order. Who’s with me?

H&M Conscious Glamour Collection

hm-conscious-glamour

Color me super-impressed! My fave fast fashion retailer H&M is stepping up its design game. Launching on April 12th in around 100 stores worldwide* is H&M Conscious GLAMOUR Collection, featuring mind-blowing dresses, and separates for an H&M addict (like myself) with glam things to do, people to see, parties to attend…or for the lack of glam parties…to strut around the house feeling oh-so-pretty.

“To celebrate the rise of glamour, H&M has created the Exclusive Conscious collection of red-carpet looks that have all been made from more sustainable materials like organic cotton and hemp, and recycled polyester, as part of H&M’s Conscious initiative. The glamorous collection shows the diversity of what has become possible with greener fashion, with each outfit an individual style that stands on its own, to reflect the scope of red carpet fashion today.”

My jaw pretty much dropped to the floor when I first laid eyes on the ruffled dress above…I mean…Carrie Bradshaw in Paris came to mind immediately…and I knew then and there that I needed to have that dress (along with half of this collection). H&M Conscious Glamour Collection has already been worn by Oscar-nominated actresses like Michelle Williams and Viola Davis…as well as Kristin Davis (there’s the SATC connection!), and Amanda Seyfried. And now I’m literally counting down the days until I’ll be able to get my claws into a few of these gowns…Forget wedding planning! April 12th can’t come soon enough.

What do you think about H&M Conscious Glamour Collection? You have to love it! You love it, right? Right? Share your thoughts in the comments.

*H&M Conscious Collection will be available at the Eaton Centre in Toronto, as well as select stores in Vancouver and Montreal

Wishlist: Marni x H&M

marni-h&m-accessories-wedding

The Marni at H collection will be hitting the stores this coming Thursday, March 8th, and I seriously cannot wait! My wishlist right now is fairly simple – a few pieces of jewelry, printed tee, and the cutest swimsuit ever…but I know that once I enter that store – all bets (and wishlists) are off. I still can’t decide which dress to get (maxi or knee-length), which pair of pants to pick up (shiny brocade, or pajama shorts)…and seeing how I’m on a strict pre-wedding budget, I really have to pace myself…or go broke trying.

Will you be lining up come March 8th? And if so, which pieces are currently on your wishlist? Share in the comments.

Wishlist: Ben-Amun

I am officially obsessed with Ben-Amun Jewelry by Isaac Manevitz! Obsessed. Was staring at the coin necklace for a few days, when I finally decided that I “needed” it in my life. Yup…needed that Ben-Amun gold chain coin necklace. It’s a necessity, you see? Not surprisingly, I’m also in love with the rest of his gorgeous vintage-inspired baubles, from the chain + crystal bracelet (which would actually be quite perfect for my wedding), the star & spikes mixed chain bracelet and necklace, lucite cuffs, and so much more. Seriously, Ben-Amun, where have you been all my life?

Am I late to the Ben-Amun party? Have you known about the brand waaaay before me? Share your fave pieces in the comments.

It’s official – the highly-anticipated Mary Katrantzou for Topshop collection WILL be available at The Bay Yorkdale Shopping Centre in Toronto on March 6th! With this week’s Jason Wu for Target pop-up shop, and Marni at H launching on March 8th…I think I’m not the only one who will be eating ramen noodles for the rest of March…or am I?

Will you be lining up? Are you taking a week off as part of your shopping strategy? Let me know in the comments!

Valentine’s Day: Last-Minute Gifts for Her

Okay, so truth be told…most of these gifts are not last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts for “her” per say, but mostly for me…Stuff that I like, find pretty/cute/adorbs, and wouldn’t mind getting this Valentine’s Day…*hints, nudges, and pokes all around* If you think your girlfriend/friend/wife/lovah might like the same things…well, more power to you…I think any of the above would make a sweet gift to the one you adore. Or just buy it all for yourself, because the relationship that you have with yourself is the most important one. Am I right, or am I right?

What do you want this Valentine’s Day? Aside from yummy chocolates, of course! Share in the comments. Or if you’re still undecided, click here for more Valentine’s Day gift ideas.

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?
