As the album, her barbies were all over this. To be sold exclusively online for four Fridays starting on November 26th, the tube of pout was already sold out at 12AM on friday when my sister went to lock in the transaction. Better set your timers for the next few Fridays with fingers crossed!

My favorite thing about LF’s Winter 2010 Lookbook is that it incorporates my fave fall trends in a super wearable way. Knit shorts, sheer layers, tribal prints and over the knee socks! These looks will be my guide on styling my own pieces in new ways...not to mention a reason to get a floppy brim felt hat.

I've heard it said that if you haven't tried the macarons at Laduree, you haven't really been to Paris. I kind of agree... Those cute, small, colorful pastries are to die for.

Now, as if the macarons themselves weren't reason enough to make you visit macaron-heaven, Ladurée is collaboration with John Galliano!  Together they've made a macaron-inspired by the rose and ginger notes of his romantic new fragrance, Parlez-moi d'Amour. I'm getting my hands on a box ASAP!

Continuing with my recent obsession with Mr. Garcia, I felt it only appropriate to bring to you his styling from December's issue of ELLE. Maximum Overdrive features prints, from cutsey to vampy and they're all my favorite looks from Spring 2011. Let's also consider the vintage aesthetic of the shots. Brilliant!

I know I'm not the only one. Getting dressed, I sometimes think, who/what am I channelling. With cultural and historical frames of reference [that even means remembering how they dressed in 90210, Blossom and A Different World!] you can shape your style beyond the trends of the moment and with your own taste in mind. Here are examples!

If you haven't ever slid on one of the perfectly tailored creations of Andrea and Christie, Canadian designers of Smythe Les Vests, you are doing yourself an injustice. I am in love with each and every piece from the Fall 2010 collection. As far as fashion labels go, Smythe is still somewhat under the radar, however I can promise you from experience that with just a little taste, you will be hooked.
Photobucket
This leather moto is perfect for fall and winter, paired with a boyfriend tee and skinny jeans, or thrown on top of a lightweight, floral dress for a fantastic combination of hard and soft. Season after season, Smythe's jackets maintain an element of classic while giving you an updated look with a perfectly crafted edge. Perfect pieces for transitioning year after year, which makes the somewhat hefty price tag worth every penny.

Smythe Leather Moto Jacket $954 Visit Smythe Les Vests for a list of retailers.

So the other day I was scratching my itch for fashion publications and I picked up my favourite men's mag V Man. I was thumbing through the glossy only to be enamored by the stylings of the Texas native/Brooklyn transplant Lester Garcia. The editorial showcases this seasons sweetest outerwear for men, so guys get into my favourite shots, dissect and create something special this winter. OH! Don't forget to pick up V Man Winter 2010-2011, it's so worth it!

Fashion over function? That’s clearly the case with these outrageous Paila heels by All Saints.
Photobucket

These one-of-a-kind heels are inspired by the vintage industrial machinery displayed in each All Saints store, and are crafted with the combination of bent steel, screws, and suede.
They would look incredible displayed on a shelf in my room. On a shelf because we know that I would get no where in these.
Retail for £325 on the All Saints UK site.

Season after season, Helmut Lang’s designs never wrong me. I am constantly intrigued by his signature use of earth-tone prints, seamed leggings, and two-toned fitted jackets.
Photobucket
Lang has done it again with his Spring/Summer 2011 collection. He stays true to himself with the asymmetric theme carried throughout, adding unique angles and proportions. The color palette stays simple in creams, camels, or charcoals--focusing more on the interesting design of the garments. The monochromatic look with a staple chunky black ankle boot, the perfect touch.

Not surprised, I want everything!

The paps got me on the step and repeat! I kid!

Shots were taken of everyone who attended the Lucky Shops sale a couple weekends ago. It was basically a huge sale event that personified the deals seen at the back paegs of any Lucky issue.

But going on the last day at the last two hours pickings were slim. I'll be sure to reference the sale when I wear my vintage finds from te one vintage vendor. How lucky for even one! Other designers I looked out for were KOOBA, DVF, Charlotte Ronson, Rebecca Minkoff and of course, I had to swing by the station for the jewelry designer I work for, Miguel Ases.

See other shots from the sale //HERE//, I promise you I took the best pic! :)

Make a statement at those holiday situations with a hat that says something. Puffs a la Sonia Rykiel or some millinery creation by Stephen Jones would be the perfect touch!
