Crushing on FW OC Campaign
Inspired by the Eastern seaboard and the plaid and preppy, Opening Ceremony’s FW 2011 campaign is absolutely beautiful, don’t you think?
It's on the Streets...
We literally stopped driving. Pulled over. Asked if we could take a pic. How amazing is her bag??

She was so cute and sweet. She didn’t understand English so it was a little difficult to communicate what we were trying to do…

Are you in
All week, we’ve brought you classic looks that brought Yves Saint Laurent’s le smoking look alive in the 1960s.
This year, the fashion runway was filled with a spin dedicated to the le smoking look with Jason Wu, Dolce & Gabanna, Moschino, Paul Smith, and Alexander Wang.
Here’s how to rock the look this Fall/Winter:
Go for a 70s glam rock look and wear a sparkly or patterned tailored...

And it's all about le smoking
Ladies, suit up! One of our fav ways to take androgyny and make it femme is this Fall’s trend throwback to the women’s suit. Use soft colours (cause unlike the men, we ♥ our pinks and purples) to put that extra touch on your structured suit and really show them boys what’s it all about. Mad(wo)Man style.

Post Summer Blues
Summer’s almost over, the Fall season is slowly creepin’ up on us but that’s no reason to go back to the dark, dreary colours. This past week, we’ve been feeling the blues and shared a lot of what we’ve seen on the street, runway and through editorial. For the next few months, don’t sink your teeth back into monotone shades, have fun with your wardrobe with...

Got Your Something Blue
This is a throwback to the 80s and it’s sweeping the red carpet next season. You will not want to have electrifying shade missing from your wardrobe. Do you have your something – cobalt – blue?

“But what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar De La Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves St Laurent, wasn’t it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And then cerulean quickly showed up...

Using Knits to Create Texture
A little throwback to our posts on lace and crochet, but this look going into Fall and SS 2012, is going to be very important. And also very vital when we think of TEXTURES

TEXTURIZE-it!
furry, fringed, smooth, serated, embossed, quilted, laced… only some of the words that make the clothes feel alive, and getting dressed every morning exciting and new. AND make people want to touch you!
imagine having all the texture you could ever wish for on the top of your head?
Textures
You know when you sift through the closet and b*#ch about how you hate everything you own? Solution: texture-ize. Mix fabrics and materials to give your look an edge, just enough that your clothes will feel different than before. Our fav/easiest magic mix: leather and anything silk, chiffon, lace.

FLOWER POWER!
Flowers on my clothes make me feel even better than when I found the flower power on the Mario Brothers game I played on my sister’s Nintendo in 1994. Here’s why:

Ballenciaga did it. Now D&G’s running with it. I almost feel like these fashion houses draw straws to determine who gets to be center stage for these trends each season. But I guess you gotta share somehow. Our floral images today give you a little preview of just how much of this trend you’ll see in magazines and ads…very, very soon. But keep in mind, you don’t...

Modernized Paisley
Paisley has leveled-up (in super mario bros’ terms). It’s morphed itself into borderline floral designs. The intricate details make this print a must-have for Fall

Retro Etro and the rest of the lot
Paisley and floral have become HUGE the past few seasons. We’re not talking the old lady prints from way-back-when, we’re talking about modern, whimsical versions seen in lines like Etro, Mary Katrantzou, McQueen and Galliano. Italian line, Etro, have always been known to produce collections of brights and kaleidescope-like patterns, but in recent seasons, the incorporation and focus...
