Love love love

Summer goal: Attain these boots and wear them with every appropriate outfit.

It's been a little while since a pair of shoes have caught my attention this way. Yes, I love all shoes, and yes, I fall in and out of love with them fairly often, however, I have a feeling these ones are long term relationship shoes. The kind you want to take home to your parents. Am I wrong?

Things I would never buy full price

I come across things every once and a while that make me giggle like a school girl. Not because they are silly, not because they are embarrassing, but because they ... well they are a little silly. 

So, I am starting this posting, we'll see how frequent it is, but it will feature silly things, overpriced things, things that make my giggle. 

Here's the first:

Miu Miu, Mid Thigh Socks - $210 at Net-a-Porter.com

Looking forward to Fall

If you know me, you know that one of my favourite things is buying fall coats. Besides every girls first love of shoes, fall coats are my yearly indulgence. Last year I stuck with my cream coloured standby, but this year I'm splurging. Probably not Chloe or Burberry splurging, but we will see. 

Some of my favourites from the Fall 09 collections and otherwise.  

Preen Line - $495 at Net-a-Porter.com

Chloe (both above) - Price Unknown

Marc by Marc Jacobs - Price Unknown

Burberry - $1250

Or the cheaper but no less chic alternative...

Marc by Marc Jacobs - $530 at Net-a-Porter.com

Faces of the (mostly) faceless.

Danny Roberts is pretty rad. 

Not only did his work make me smile, but his portraits of fashion bloggers worldwide is pretty interesting. Some work below:

A little late on the draw

So yes I know this is a little late, but better late than never correct?

I was on the New York Times website today looking in their style section at some of the slideshows on Fall 2009 Runway shows such as Chloe, MiuMiu and Louis Vuitton. 

Leave it up to Marc himself to design a little bright pink and back number that doesnt remind me of something that Avril Lavigne threw up. (see above)

I have never, since the birth of the pop rock princess spawn worn black and pink together. Personally I find it offensive. But the pops of colour used in Vuitton's Fall 2009 collection are nothing close to offensive. I find them refreshing. 

Miu Miu and Chloe both resorted to the pale colours, browns and beiges as are normally seen in the fall lines. While obviously Marc is not the first to add pops of vibrancy to the Fall Winter drab, and even though I am not so sure about the bunny ear headdresses, he has single handedly changed my mind about pink and black and their ability to be together. 

Proceed with caution, but know that you have my blessing. 

Fashion Puns

So I have been quite a bit M.I.A since I have been finishing up my thesis at OCAD in Photography. Well all is done now and I have had a little more time to peruse fashion blogs, more money to buy magazines, and keep abreast of the fashion things I like. 

Upon this re-introduction to my own first love, I went to one my favourite fashion blogs, Susie Bubble, and found this:

"My long-bra obsession will be augmented by this black sequin and pink satin versions"

I sincerely love puns, and I love them even more when they reference clothing, and most loved, lingerie. So adorable. (click for original post)

Gimme gimme! Givenchy!!

This is by far one of the most beautiful things I have ever found on a vintage website.
