SHOPPING // CHARLIE'S BOUTIQUE


I first stumbled upon Charlie via my go-to-fashion-friend Dave. Last year, I was in a need for a dress for my friend's wedding and Dave suggested Charlie. And long and behold, I purchased a dress on my first time stepping into the store, a Yumi blush pink dress. I absolutely love it. Now, every time I go to Queen West, it is a must stop-over. Their recent tweets and posts have gotten me excited for the Spring/Summer and though the snow is continuously accumulating... I am counting down the days for some fun in the sun. They are getting new shipment every week and introducing new brands. I'm so excited to drop by this weekend, though my bank account will be sad. I welcome some floral and bold prints with a pop of colours!

LOOK BOOK // ALEXANDER MCQUEEN PRE-FALL '12



Oh Sarah Burton, you have done it again! Amazing collection for Pre-Fall '12. I just couldn't decide which ones were my favourite. Sarah Burton culled influence from the Victorian era — and particularly the ultra-full circle skirts of that period — for Pre-Fall 2012. Also worked into the mix: the nipped-in waists of '50s couture, lush fabric motifs inspired by Elizabethan art, and exaggerated silhouettes that hint at the work of Charles James. "I've raised the waist, kept the peplum, but moved away from the pencil skirt," Burton explained. View Entire Collection >>

RUNWAY // ROBERTO CAVALLI F/W '12 (MILAN)

Milan Fashion Week is underway... and Roberto Cavalli doesn't disappoint. Menswear usually doesn't interest me as much but this year it seems likes its different. Roberto Cavalli did an amazing job for the Fall/Winter 2012 runway show... here are some of my favourite looks. I hope the Toronto men take notes.
