McQueen Fall 2011!!

Wow, Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 created an absolutely stunning collection.  Such beautiful fabrics, and the beautiful simple colours of: white, lilac, gray and black and with tailoring that is spot on!  I had a hard time narrowing down my faves to just a few pics; so I chose some of the lighter colours.  However, there's a black dress that I just had to slip in.

I will have to return to this collection in the fall for the all black edition...lol

Wow....was that exhilarating or what!?



Well, with that said, hope your weekend is phenomenal!!!  I am planning a trip downtown to purchase some new supplies for my fall collection, but we'll see how that goes.  I really just want to lay on a blanket in the park and take in the days.

Yesterday, afternoon I went out with the kids and stopped by one of my supply shops in the area.  I was horrified to see that she is now only selling her own designs.  The gemstone wall reduced to nothing but a meager selection and the chains selection which was once so vast is almost invisible.  I was shocked, the atmosphere in the shop was so heavy, it was so desolate.  Our area on the whole is changing, a lot of small business owners have not survived and it's really sad.

We've recently lost a great family restaurant 'Lick's', followed by 'Blockbuster' and most recently 'HMV'.  I'm
scared and concerned about the future landscape of this area.

crushing on - jackets

Tis' the season to wear jackets and Smythe a talented Toronto based duo make jackets that always offer something that's cutting edge. Anything from unique fabrics, figure flattering cuts, cool details at the back, stylish elbow patches,  a ruffle or an extra pocket on one side; these jackets will get you noticed!!

Here's a glimpse of their spring collection 2011.









It will only be a matter of time til I own one of these jackets.

Have a tripping tuesday.

fashion friday - Pink Tartan

Regrets I have a few, one of them leads into this fashion friday's post.

A few years ago, I was out shopping with a friend at Holt Renfrew (our luxury designer brand store). We came across a gorgeous red winter coat (in my SIZE on SALE!!) by Pink Tartan.  It looked super hot on me, super HOT! But we had just started shopping and not wanting to commit, I put it back on the rack.

Never went back for it! so regrets I have a few!  oh well c'est la vie!

Pink Tartan is a Canadian designer label created by Kimberley Newport-Mimran.  I love her Fall 2011 Collection.  I love the mixing of structured military jackets with feminine skirts, the evening dresses with the striking leather belts, the army hat with the bulky scarves; it's all so hot!!






I would wear this entire outfit in a heartbeat!!!

Wishing all you mum's or soon-to-be mum's a very motherly weekend!!
