la Parisienne idéal
Finally found that photo from Mr. Sartorialist...
Fancy those shoulders, because I most definitely do.

my oxford infatuation continues
Today marked the first day of Spring here in Toronto! As we head into this new season, we expect longer days, sunshine and more smiles. We leave behind long nights (though they were quite fun), dreary days and most importantly ruined shoes due to salt stains and slush!
Here I present to you the Sergio Rossi Oxford Lace Ups I plan to soon purchase (for quite a lovely deal too!) These babies stuck out to me so much one day last October, while cruising The Sartorialist, I had to blog about the woman wearing them.
I deem these my rays of sunshine and welcoming into spring.
As Karl Lagerfeld says, "Buy what excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping."

she's been hiding in France
and PFW is [almost] over!
London's win with me was Louise Goldin's F09 line. Stunningly Dark.
Paris, I'm still undecided.

Launched in tandem with Gareth Pugh's show during Paris Fashion Week, this film created in collaboration with Ruth Hogben, showcases the designer's Autmn/Winter 2009 collection.
my review?
frantic, intense, emotionally contesting.
deep, dark, INVIGORATING and INSPIRING.
Talk about a film evoking loads of fashionable emotion.

Let Loose. This is the Tomboy, all grown up.
There is no time better than now to be reliving your active, lively youth through the stylistic endeavors of your favorite old, and up-and-coming designers.
It may have begun with the introduction to the boyfriend tank (which Alexander Wang does so well). The luxe blazer came along, originally claimed by YSL in 1966 with le smoking, lovingly updated by Dior Homme pour Femme in F08. Following with pants of all sorts, the world was introduced to ethnic-inspired dhotis and jodhpurs galore and most recently the “boyfriend jean” (if you're into jeans that is), topped off with a proper chapeau and towering high heels, but only for those who dare.
No time has ever been so kind, loose fitting and comfortable (only for clothing, needless I remind you) – enjoy these fits now, at last they are finally here to stay.

because i do sincerely care about politics (and fashion)
"
Who says these are bleak times? On one matter at least, designers are positively euphoric. That is the Obama presidency, a two-part point of light. While much of the glee centers around the President-elect and his policies, Michelle Obama radiates a powerful style all her own. So step aside, Angelina. You too, Madonna, not to mention the bevy of pop tarts, gossip girls, “High School Musical” grads and even potential Oscar divas, now all suddenly second-tier. The American fashion industry hasn’t had a catch this big since, well, since another icon of Democratic chic took up residency on Pennsylvania Avenue in 1961.
For the big guns at least, dressing Michelle may prove even more of a challenge, since her chic is more lowercase democratic than was Jackie’s. Throughout the campaign, the first lady-to-be has avoided all major names save Narciso Rodriguez, while showing a proclivity for locals (Chicago’s Maria Pinto), young types (Thakoon; Jason Wu) and cost-conscious labels (Donna Ricco; J. Crew).
Nevertheless, just about everyone yearns to dress Michelle, who could raise the profile of American fashion around the world. Yet with the exception of Maria Cornejo, her current favorites, as well as a few majors, declined WWD’s request for sketches. Some are loath to presume to offer unsolicited advice, while others, it seems, are definitely in the Inaugural sweepstakes and prefer, or have been asked, to keep their participation low-pro.
But plenty more happily offered their visions for Michelle and her charming first daughters, for the big day and evening events of Jan. 20."

eat and feet
Manolo likes milkshakes and says that holding shoes is bad luck. I also hear that giving shoes as gifts are also bad luck... I wonder who comes up with these things.
Look, models eat. I feel slight competition to Coco's dancemoves...

BALLYGIRL
BALLY is an Italian brand I have loved for quite a while now. Its boho-esque feel sweeps me into a dreamland only a certain someone can kick me out of. A combination of a modest, modern, countryside (suburban?) girl always ready to kick-ass is how I would describe it...
Peep their take on the mary jane, oh how I envy her so:
Guniga platform shoes
$595
So, I visit The Satorialist almost on the daily. I like to save some of the looks that really appeal to me on my phone, just to stare at when I'm passing time... examining every detail I can possibly fill on my screen, in hopes I stumble upon a piece similar to that in the photo, in the near future.
As he shoots the street for inspiration, I save the looks as aspiration, and this would be the latest:
I'll post the other women dressed in black with their strong shoes and shoulders when I can find them!

"remember jackin' on this til the waistband around your jeans were soaking wet and then leaving the club & it's FREEZING outside ? I would give anything for that again !"
