Resort 2011


This years resort line was a great and practical one. The designers really tapped into what their customers are looking for in fashion, which is lots of light colours, flowing fabrics, and styles that anybody can really pull off. There also was plenty of day to night transition pieces, and of course with any show there has to be some outfits that might be hard to pull off. But if you looked at the outfits in pieces, there still were plenty of clothes that one can wear.
Burberry came out with an amazing outerwear, along with stunning animal prints. All the clothes said glitz and glamour.
John Galliano hit his Shanghai debut for Christian Dior out of the park. Tons of beautiful red carpet dresses and little cocktail dresses. This line came more from the 1960's. Lots of colour, amazing lace and ruffle detailing. Dior is definitely only going forward with the looks and style this line has.
I can never say enough good things about Chanel. I adore Coco Chanel and also Karl Lagerfeild's take on Chanel. This line is no different either. Lots or amazing colours, sheers, ruffles, dresses and swimsuits. Karl Lagerfeild expressed it as "very casual, very down to earth."
Diane Von Furstenberg really knows what her client's want. This collection was filled with amazing prints, nautical and of course, those cute wrap dresses. Going from her fall menswear inspired line to this ultra chic femme line is nothing but spectacular.
Dsquared² left there sexed up models on the runway for this line. They really decided to go back to their roots and to what they know for classic clean lines. It also was back to their preppy looks and style, but no one is hearing any complaints with that.
Peter Dundas resort line for Pucci was filled with amazing dresses and suits. Dundas, still on cloud nine, was ecstatic about all the press from the cannes and it really showed from this line.
I could go on all day about the resort shows. They were all amazing. Lots of beautiful clothes, bright colours, flowing dresses, ruffles, sheers, detailing it was all beyond amazing (well until the round of shows start up!)

Busy, Busy, Busy

It has been far too long since my last post. Between moving to a new apartment, an exam I have to take that is coming closer and closer to the date, and a good friend moving away, I have been a very busy lady. Even though my schedule has been completely busy, I have not forgotten to do it fashionably. I've been taking a few minutes each day to see what's going on in this fashionable world. The resort 2011 shows are now over and the men's fall 2011 shows are now in full force. I was reviewing the latest show that is going to be the most talked about, which is none other then Alexander McQueen. This is Sarah Burton's first collection after taking over the McQueen name and I have to say it felt like nothing has changed. She really knew what McQueen would have wanted for his collection.

Things to come!


This weekend has come to a close and another week has begun. Back to the office I go with dragging feet behind. This weekend turned out to be wonderful. The weather was great and so were the friends. It was the start of the world cup which I have been watching closely since it begun. Along with that, I was trying to spend as much time outside as possible, which was a success. My good friend Tonya and I spent the day roaming the city eating ice cream, going to some of our favorite shops, and then having dinner while watching soccer.

I have been working on a resort 2011 review for you guys, but there is just so much to review and not enough time in the day. I also want to start making inspiration boards as well and start posting those too. So that's two things that I have been working on and something I'm really excited about!

I hope you all had a great weekend and have a great week as well!

Style Board

Three different outfits for three real situations.

Go from that boring board meeting to a night out with the girls. This outfit lets you remain professional in the office but also still look fashion forward on a night out.



First impressions are what last. Go out dancing or to a dinner and a movie for that first special date. This outfit will sure make the right impression.



After a long week at the office and a hot date the night before, all you want to do is hang out with the girls. Go to brunch, then do some shopping and spill all the latest gossip with your gals.

Fashionable Words


"'Style' is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style"
