Wish List? Please, try Shopping List! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Even though its the beginning of November and my new Charlotte Ronson boots havent been exposed to the streets of Manhattan I couldnt help thinking about Christmas. Well my Christmas Wish List, that is. Dont get me wrong; I'm not all about Christmas being gifts, gifts and more gifts, but its universally known that diamonds are a girls best friends ( that and a credit card). Here are the things that top my list and should be on yours too.This Zac Posen dress is to die for. A perfect fit for New Years Eve. TNA the hot new label from Aritzia makes some of my favourite bags especially this gym bag perfect for storing school books. Chanel No 19 and 22. Cant go wrong with that. You didnt think I was going to write a Christmas Wish List without Marc Jacobs in it did you? Read more:Please

He Said, She Said 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Famous people say famous things. Thats why I came up with a new perspective on my fashion blog. Every so often I'll post a quote that I think defines who we are. And who to put first other than Coco Chanel, the queen of all things fashion."Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman." - Coco Chanel
Street Style: Paris Edition 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Yet another adition to my growing blog (god I could start a magazine with all of this stuff!) is a section I would like to call street style. Fashion does not just bloom on the runways or your average anorexic starlet ( we're talking to you Kate and Nicole) but it shows up on people who have substance and a daring look nobody else seems to be sporting. So, for our first trip around the globe what better place to stop and gape then the city of lights? I ♥ Paris
! The definition of "just rolled out of the bed" look. With a bit of polish. This is why the trench coat is still in style all of these years. Why not wear a cocktail dress and heels for a morning of shopping? This girl is just too unique for words.I'm telling you; a bag completes any look.

Fashion, Eh? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 For all of those Canadian fashionistas out there I created a new blog called Fashion
, Eh? that features all things Canadian and cool places to shop. Yea yea, i know. People might think the "eh" is a stereotype but I'm half French Canadian on my moms side so its not coming from a hater. I hope you like it and come check it out!www.FashionEh.blogspot.com
Model of the Moment 1970-01-01 00:59:59 She walked the runways of famed designers Alexander McQueen and Valentino this season and her name is sure to make an impression in the fashion world (and not just because its so fashionable). Chanel Iman is said to be the successor of great African-American models ,Iman and Tyra, and is lauded to be the next big thing. Dont be surprised if you open your latest copy of Vogue and find her in it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Get the Look 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I came up with a little idea that I thought would be pretty cool. Every once in a while I will post a makeup look from the runway shows and tell you how to re-create it. Its a bit of an expansion on my fashion blog and I hope you like it!This mettalic look is from Chanel Spring 2006. It might be a little risque for day but it would look great and really unique on a night out. Face:For clear and even skin use a loose face powder like Clinique Gentle Light Powder and brush. Brush the powder over your face focusing on the t-zone area.Clinique Gentle Light Powder and brush: $21.00Eyes:To get that smudged yet sleek look use an eye shimmer like Stila All Over Shimmer Eyes in gold and white. Line your top eyelids with the gold for a warmer look and press the silver shadow on the bottom of your eyes with a brush. Stila All Over Shimmer Eyes: $14.00To finish off your look add mascara on your top eyelashes a billion-trillion times. I love Lancome's HYPNÔSE Custom Volume Mascara Lancome's HYP
Marie Antoinette 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Despite the films many bad reviews (it drew boos at the Cannes Film Festival) I am still very anxious to watch this movie. I read about one of Frances most famous Queens a long time ago and I had to say she captivated me with her chic style and carelessness. Marie

is directed by Sofia Coppola and I am sure she will make it great with her unique style. You probably ask what is a film review doing in a fashion blog? Well to me the films decadence and extravagance has struck me as utterly and beautifully fashionable. Read more:Marie Antoinette

Chanel 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Chanel Spring 2006 was definetly a refreshing take on the french fashion house. Karl Lagerfield breathed a bit of life in the collection and came out with a white, gold and black colour pallete and outfits resembling 1950's swimsuits (in a good way). My favourite? It has to be the LBD's (little black dresses). I know what I'm wearing to prom this year! Read more:Chanel
Teen Vogue Has Just Made My Holidays 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I was seriously thinking about who was going to be the cover girl on teen vogue this month. This magazine never ceases to amaze me and their new marketing strategy this Christmas season was way too cool. They two magazine feature the same articles inside but different covers one with the classic twin and one with the free spirit Ashley and Marykate, respectively. I love both covers and I really miss Ashleys blond hair. So what do you think about the shoots and which one is your favourite? Read more:Holidays
These Boots Were Made For Walking 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Ok, I know; corny title but what else can you say. With the cold winter season comes the flu, freezing fingers, and red noses. But luckily so do boots. Winter boots to be exact. Now I know that Kate Hudson and Sienna Miller are walking through L.A., and L.A. in the wintertime is not particularly freezing. But who can resist not walking down Fifth Avenue in these gorgeous boots? Besides 84% of people judge you based on your looks and why not start with your shoes? I know I'm saving them for my Paul and Joe skinny jeans and oversized grey Stella McCartney sweater!Kate Hudson Chloe Leather Knee High Boots

Spring 2007 Haute Couture No. 1 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Couture; the heart of fashion and the one place in which designers can let their imaginations go free without anyone worrying if they're truly crazy. This seasons couture shows were highly anticipated by me, myself and I (and thousands of others, I'm sure). So to give you you'r daily dose of the best of the best here are the first shows to start of couture week. P.S. To warn you beforehand - sorry about my constant mutterings of the words wow, gorgeous and wow. I need a thesauras. ValentinoI wasn't as impressed with Valentino's spring couture show as I thought I would be. To me it was just a carry one of his spring show, from the tiered dresses, to the colours (pink, cream and yellow) to the hairstyles. It was quite pretty but I thought it looked more ready-to-wear than haute couture. These two dresses were my absolute favourites of the show. I loved the delicate slip on the right and for some reason (maybe the fact that this dress costs a couple hundred thousand dollars) the dres Read more:Couture

The Devil Wears Prada: No. 2 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This post on the Devil
Wears Prada
style is all about colour. From the green jacket, to the golden shoes and white gloves the whole outfit is creative and trendy without bordering on the edge of tacky. I thought this next look was really creative and unigue. All you need is one gorgeous staple item in your outfit and you're set. I adore the Dolce and Gabbanna coat; the fit is so great and I dont know about you but I love the emerald green colour. Another personal favourite of mine , in this outfit, are the shoes from Topshop. I love the gold colour and the pointy toe. You can dress them down with great jeans from Rock and Republic or dress them up with a flirty Alice Temperley dress. P.S. Sorry for the lack of DWP postage :(
Rantings... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 * Technical Difficulties* Sorry guys, for some reason my post posted even though I said save draft and I didnt notice until later. Argh! Since I was nominated to tell you guys five things you dont know about me, I will. Partially because I'm such a nice person and partially because I feel I could die of boredom (even though I'm supposed to be studying. So here it is...1. I am the absolute worst cook in the world. I even burnt water once. (Dont ask)2. I once dumped cake (by accident) into Diane Von Furstenburg's lap. It was at my mom's dinner party when I was about six years old. And it was completely by accident. 3. I've broken my left arm about three times. Once snowboarding, and twice at skating practice.4. I own about 230 pairs of shoes. ( I swear its the truth!)5. I usually never finish these list , which is why I've kinda cheated on this fifth one :)
46th Golden Globes Awards 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The GoldenGlobes
mark the start of the red carpet award season, and its certainly off to a good start. There were so many different looks at this years Golden Globes
but it looks like white and bright colour such as yellow and red were quite popular. Below are some of my favourite looks and people that are worth posting on.Reese Witherspoon - Everthing about this outift and how Reese looked can only be described by the word "cute". I loved the canary yellow Nina Ricci dress and the bright red pumps completed the look. Her hair was gorgeous as well. Ryan Phillipe sure is a retard.Cameron Diaz - I dont know why but I though Cameron looked fine in her Valentino dress. Shes so tall and fit that she could pull it off. Plus when every girl is wearing her hundreth Chanel dress and Miu Miu pumps I thought it was great that she took a fashion risk. Rachel Weisz - I absolutely adored Rachels look. The rich tone of her red dress paired with her dark brown hair was stunning. Ali Larter - People t Read more:Awards
Mr. Blackwell's 47th annual "Worst Dressed" list 1970-01-01 00:59:59 2006 was a year of fashion highs but unfortunately a year of fashion lows as well. Mr.Blackwell, fashion critic of Tinseltown stars has yet again compiled a worst dressed list. And surprise, surprise. Guess who's first?No 1. Britney Spears and Paris Hilton "Two Peas in an Overexposed Pod" Not a surprise at all. I really wished and hoped that Britney would finally clean up her act and become the famous bubbly pop star she was before. And she was... for about five seconds. Then the non-stop partying and hanging out with Paris Hilton started and it all started going down hill from there. The girl has absolutley no style. Shes all trash and no class. Paris Hilton: Karl Lagerfield once said that he would never treat the girl in a fashion makeover case. "I couldn't do anything with her," he said. "I'd just give her fashion magazines and tell her to read." (although I'm not sure if she can read..) Nevertheless, I agree. Sweats, oversized white shades and too tight tees are her fashion uni Read more:Dressed
A New Breed of "It" Bags 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Chloe - The Bay BagWith new spring collections comes new bags to drool over. Below is a bag that is definetly going to be on my arms and on wait lists that are a couple miles long. Already seen on the arms of Lindsay Lohan, Kylie Minouge and Keira Knightley, the Chloe Bay bag is quickly becoming somewhat of a celebrity itself. Now I am not going to buy this bag because the said starlets above have it. Rather because it reminds be of the bags of the seventies with its cool boxy shape and golden touches. Besides, wouldn't it look so cute on any spring dress? Read more:Breed

Best of 2006 1970-01-01 00:59:59 This year has definetly been a busy one in terms of fashion. Last years boho crazy styles were thrown away, and instead skinny jeans, Louboutins and labels such as Chloe and 3.1 Phillip Lim were favoured. Everyone strived to find their own "original" style but yet were still influenced by fashion greats, Kate Moss and Sienna Miller (to name a few). So to honour this years greats I came up with the "Best Of's". Make sure you have extra time on your hands because this is going to be a long post!Best Of: GownsMichelle Williams made a splash at the Oscars in this gorgeous dress. The colour of the dress, the shape, her red lips... everything was perfect. And completely unexpected. Lets not leave out Reese Witherspoon, who took home the Oscar for Best Actress and probably Best Dress. I fell in love with this gown the moment I saw it. The intricate details, and light champagne colour spurred many knockoffs that year. However, my award for best colour and draping goes to Salma Hayek for the g
It's Miller Time! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 With any starring role in a movie thats getting all the buzz comes many magazine covers. It wasnt a big surprise that Sienna Miller
would grace the front cover of many fashion magazine and tabloid covers. After all she iss starring in the Edie Sedgwick biopic Factory girl and she is considered to be one of the leading it girls in todays fashion world. Below are her most recent covers, January 2007's W and British Harpers Bazaar. I think this magazine is pretty and serene yet its still fierce with the gorgeous Christian Louboutin shoes, Agent Provacateur lingerie and plum lips Miller is sporting. Not a lot of wow factor but I could definetly make some room on my shelf for this issue of W. I thought that this spread had a very rock and roll edge to it but still managed to be quite pretty with all of the silver and gold. The dresses look quite futuristic but Im not sure I would wear most of them. I really like Siennas makeup and hair too. (PS. Who knew she had star tattoos on her shoul
Spring Has Crayola on its Mind 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The 2007 spring season had polar opposites on runways around the world. It was either chiffon and flowy fabrics in white, cream, beige and lilac like in Alberta Ferreti, or shocking bright colours on a black or grey background. Runway shows such as Diane Von Furstenburg incorporated oranges and pinks with whites while Chloe had a seventies chic look to their line. In case you cant handle all of the colour take a brightly coloured silk top and pair it with navy skinny jeans and your all set for spring. Not that? Then go with a scarf a la Missoni.

Go Grease Lightning 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The leather jacket is not just for Danny Zucco anymore. Many celebs have been spotted sporting the luxe garment around Tinseltown and the trend is quiclky catching on. It easily gives any outfit a rock-and-roll edge. I'd wear mine with a YSL silk shirt under with my David Yurman gold necklaces, skinny jeans and pumps. Or if your really hardcore, try a band tee.

Fall 2006: Layering 101 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A key trend this fall is layering. Its not only a great way to keep up the fashion world but its also a great way to incorporate your summer wardrobe into your winter one. And even better, you'll be more fashionable than anyone else and you wont freeze your butt off. Marc by Marc Jacobs, Mui Mui, United BambooUse those summer dresses that are still hanging in your closet. Try finding an inky blue or black dress, like in the Marc by Marc Jacobs show, to follow the dark and brooding trend that has been shown on the fall runway shows. To avoid freezing, layer your dress over a sweater or t-shirt, as in the Mui Mui and United Bamboo shows. Finsih your look with a warm oversized cardigan and scarf. Max Azria, Marc Jacobs, MarniStructured jackets with textured fabrics and simpled details should be one item thats taking up room in your closet. Try short jackets as shown in the Louis Vuitton and Marni shows, or a charcoal grey one like my favourite one from the Maz Azria show. Hermes, L.A.M.B
Haute Couture Spring 2007 No. 2 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The final installment of haute couture (although a bit late). So soak in all of these dresses because you wont get to see designers at their best or worst for another couple of months. GivenchyMy absolute favourite show of the couture show. Obviously Audrey Hepburn was a style icon. The only designer she ever wore was Givenchy. I loved the somber pallette of the show mixed in with quirky colours like the gorgeous yellow. The black dress on the left was my favourite of the show. Its so sleek and dark and if I was an actress at the Oscars this would definetly be my first pick. The dress on the right has a really pretty colour and the tailored coat is so interesting. I love love love the dress on the left. The colour is perfect. Its not too yellow or pale or bright. Who knew Irina Lazarneau could pull of lemon yellow? The tailoring at this show was spectacular. I loved the incorporation of flowers into a dark grey and the skirts are so interesting.Jean Paul GautierNothing special in th Read more:Couture

SAG Awards 2007 1970-01-01 00:59:59 For one final awards show before the best of them all (ahem ahem Oscars) the stars showed up in their finest clothes and borrowed jewels to wow paparrazzi and fashion critics. The big trends this time around? Pale creams, whites, jewel tones and bursts of much needed colour. Oh and the designer who reigned supreme over all of the dresses? Armani, of course.Reese Witherspoon - I'll start off with the best dress of the night (in my opinion). I love Olivier Theyskiens work for Nina Ricci. Since the closing of the parisian house of Rochas I have missed his elegant and unmistakeable work. I am so glad hes working for another lable and so jealous that Reese has somewhere to wear her dresses. Two Greys Anatomys stars showed up with gorgeous colourful dresses that reminded us springs only a couple months away. Katherine Heigel wore a red dress and I loved the draping and neckline. She also had gorgeous hair which was very 50's glamour. Kate Walsh showed up in a lemon coloured gown. I like t Read more:Awards

So, This Is It 2007-08-18 18:08:00 "Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile."OK, so the ending of this blog isn't a "death". But after careful consideration (and lots of shopping) I've decided that it's time to say goodbye. I'm off to college and I've realized that with that workload I can't give this blog the attention needed. It was a great year and I loved meeting new bloggers, posting and going from the bottom of the ladder to ,well I hope, somewhere near the top. Maybe I'll post randomly, maybe I won't. Don't worry you wont die without me: just buy a new dress and go out dancing and you'll forget all about it. La Fin
