Macarons and fashion are always mentioned together. I should be over everything related to macaron but I’m not. They are just too damn tasty to ignore. Flare and Nadège teamed up to create macaron based on shades from the fall winter 2012 – 2013 collections. You can see all 10 of the creations at Flare.com. Toronto’s top macaron maker Nadège Nourian, of Nadège Patisserie, has created one-of-a-kind shades just for FLARE inspired by the season’s hottest hues. “This is one of the most challenging projects I’ve ever worked on,” shared Nourian while on set for our macaron photo shoot, “but it was incredibly fulfilling and so much fun to do.” See these delicious confections paired with top looks from the international runways for a sweet visual treat. Four of the ten custom marcaron created for the editorial are available for purchase at Nadège Patisserie for a limited time. The flavours are (top to bottom in above photo): Chocolate cherry, inspired by Givenchy , Grand Cru chocolate from Brazil, inspired by Balenciaga; Cotton candy, inspired by …
I don’t normally talk about Stella McCartney on I want – I got but the fall 2010 collection perked my interest. Stella McCartney has always been a collection that I love in person. She’s good but not someone I’ve vocal about. That’s changing with Fall 2010. She went very minimal and sleek with the collection but managed to add some details I didn’t expect: sheer organza, paillettes, and embroidery. There are a few misses, I’m not in love with the fuchsia items and some of the jackets just don’t work. Not a fan of the jumpsuit either. I’m noticing a trend with what I call the fashion mullet. Yup, that’s right people, it’s the short long dress. I first noticed it when Coco Rocha debuted that dress from her collection. I wasn’t a fan, it was a bit too costumey. I’m not sure I like the trend and I think it might be gaining speed. Stella wins me over with most of her fashion mullet pieces. I think that is what amazes me most about …
I attended the Adidas Spring 2010 preview day where I saw the adidas by Stella McCartney Spring 2010 collection. This season Stella expands to include Triathlon and Cycling. I had no idea that there has been Golf clothing in the line for a few seasons. I’ve always really liked the Adidas by Stella jackets and sweaters. There are always some interesting details. This season zippers and metallics caught my eye. It’s funny that she’s even following the jean leggings trend except her leggings aren’t denim. Adidas by Stella McCartney is available at Holt Renfrew. images: courtesy of Adidas.
I’m in love with the all the tall boots coming out this Fall. Over the knee, boot leggings, thigh highs. Whatever you want to call them, I love them. Marc Jacobs, Prada, Prada, YSL Of course, I talked about the to die for Gucci’s already.
These would look amazing with my boots. I’m really in love with the ones by RM by Roland Mouret. They are a wool-blend knit with alligator print. Love! images: net-a-porter.com
A Wool drop lapel jacket by Stella McCartney The Jacket is being pushed so hard right now in fashion that I’ve felt a little bit of trend fatigue. That feeling went away as soon as I saw this perfect jacket by Stella McCartney. image: net-a-porter.com

In the post geekiviews: Care by Stella McCartney, I talked about the new Stella McCartney skincare product line I’m testing out. I’ve been using the product for a month now and I’m liking it a lot. I am a little surprised that the line doesn’t have eye cream, facial scrub or mask offerings. I received a bunch of different products. Two cleansers, Three elixirs and three moisturizing creams. I love the foam cleanser. It smells great and isn’t irritating to the skin at all. It also does a very good job of cleaning and removing water based makeup. I have kept the Dermalogica practice of washing my face twice, which first removes any pollution and then gets to cleaning the skin proper. I like the results of this cleanser better than my regular Dermalogica routine. I also received a cream cleanser which I’ve had no experience with before. I wasn’t even sure how to use cream cleanser until a few months ago. I’ve used the product a couple of times. It’s great for those late …
I’m so late in seeing these Karl Stella Viktor & Rolf *cough* Cavalli *cough* Daria in a bikini Update: I had to remove the last commercial since the youtube user stopped hosting it.
Stella McCartney Beaded strappy sandals Perfect for summer and much more manageable than these ones. I’ve seen them in person at Holt’s in a different colour combo. I don’t know how you are suppose to deal with the heel, they are built like fetish shoes. I tried them on, way to damn high.
I saw the a few select pieces at Holt’s Bloor Street on the weekend. They are pretty nice bags. They have a lot more structure to them than normal LeSportsac bags. I’m really in love with the large camera bag in grey quilt. They didn’t have my favourite bag of the collection though. image: lesportsac.com
Some of the new Stella McCartney for LeSportsac bags are nice. You all know I love the prints. This is my favourite bag and print. It’s a big bag too. I love big bags 🙂 The collection is available for Pre-Order only online at the LeSportSac website. You will not see these in the stores apparently. EDIT: I’m wrong, you can pick up the collection at Holt Renfrew. Thank you LouLou maybe I won’t let my subscription expire now. images: lesportsac.com
I’ve noticed a lot more coloured boots kicking around in the shops. Here are a few that have caught my eye. Blues Antropologie Fluevog Chloe Marc by Marc Jacobs
Seshat Boots by Stella McCartney for Adidas I have been eying these boots after I first posted about the fall 2006 Stella collection from Adidas. I think they are more obnoxious than my white Sorels. Capezio came through for me in the end. I got the last pair of 8s in the store.
