Christian Louboutin Yasmine cork wedges

Christian Louboutin is a shoe god, however I was rarely swept up in shoe love with any of his shoes until now. This is perfection.

Christian Louboutin Rodita zip platforms

This are amazing too; very punk. I can see the girls in Satan’s Candy in them. I can see myself in these.

I’m loving the shoes from Chloé this season.

Chloé Piped leather sandals

These are pretty and I love the colour.

Chloé Perspex panel platform sandals

Chloé Patent leather sandals

These are so weird they are awesome.

I like the new Chloé, it was time to switch up the brand.

EDIT: Holt Renfew is carrying the silver version of the Piped leather sandals. They are stunning in person, it’s a shame that they aren’t in teal.

Givenchy Haute Couture - Spring Summer 2008

This collection is weird. I really like some of the minimalist pieces, but they don’t represent couture to me. As a member of The Fashion Spot said, who really needs $20,000 leggings. It’s very ready to wear. The last two dresses are more what I’m looking for. I felt the collection didn’t have a single direction or theme. It was like he did three collections: minimalist, ethereal and highly structured.

I’m having a love hate relationship with the Chanel Haute Couture - Spring Summer 2008 collection. On one hand, some of the outfits are to die for, very beautiful. However, I hate the presentation. The large tacky Chanel jacket in the background. Why the hell aren’t the models wearing heels. Check out style.it and look at how awful the collection photos are. The models don’t know how to pose in flats and it’s just plain awkward and unflattering. Devon Aoki looks like hell, as does the dress, IMO. The shoes are awful.

I do love the wrap skirts and the jackets.

I blogged about theSecret Garden a-line dress by Chloe from the Fall 2007 ready to wear collection in November. It’s fantastic in pictures and absolutely stunning in person.

I tried on the Chloe dress for kicks and I just had to take unauthorized photos. It was so beautiful. A heavy duty open end two-way zipper ran the length of the back of the dress. It’s definitely a winter dress, the wool made it a lot heavier than I expected. I’m in love, I can’t believe it was on the sale rack. It was still too pricey for me, so I only got a brief taste of its exquisiteness.

This is the runway look and a closer look at the detail.

Miss Rowe swing coat

This piece is from the debut Spring 2008 collection from Miss Rowe. She was at the TFI Press Breakfast, which I missed. A lot of her stuff has a lot of volume but I love this coat.

An Elroy Apparel jacket

Organic clothing is just getting better and better. This beautiful jacket is by Vancouver native Leanne McElroy.

I’m a big fan of this dress too.

These items are from the Spring 2008 collection.
