fashion tidbit

From page six: THE fashion world is abuzz with speculation about where former Nina Ricci and Bill Blass designer Lars Nilsson will end up. Nilsson, who turned Bill Blass from frumpy to cool last year, was just unceremoniously dumped from Nina Ricci, despite doing what fashion industry peeps say was “a good job.” Word is Nina Ricci is making room for former Rochas designer Olivier Theyskins. And rumor is that Nilsson may head to Oscar de la Renta. Reps for de la Renta didn’t return calls. If you don’t know the background read

Carnivale of Couture: Dream Bags by Pursed Lips

Pursed Lips’ Carnivale of Couture: Dream Bags This is a fun Carnivale of Couture about handbags. Designer Ella asks 2 questions. 1. If you were to only have the allowance for one Big Name designer IT Bag, what would it be? (This is a dream to many with the allowance for none!) Choosing one bag is so hard. I really love the Fendi Spy bag. ($2,100.00) But I really like the Chloe Paddington too. This one in lizard is very interesting. ($7,200.00)

Deploy earrings by :Nea I love these purple earrings. You can get them in green, black, pink and blue. Montrealer Janick Gravel is behind the designs. She dropped me a note using the handy form on the Contact me page. I liked her stuff, so it gets a post. Check our her Etsy shop for other cool stuff

What, I can’t hear you.

I don’t understand. I ventured into the new Abercrombie & Fitch store in the Eaton Centre. Man, was the music loud it was like being in a club. Lets say that tshirts, tank tops, sweats and denim aren’t enought to get me excited about A&F, boring. But I’m not really their target demographic either. I didn’t even see any hot boys with no shirts on, boo! To me this stuff is just like American Eagle, Gap, Hollister and Old Navy. I would add too Roots, but at least they make some damn decent leather bags. related: The man behind Abercrombie & Fitch – shudder.

How not to look this fall

Published by

Read this style guide by Rachel Zoe and do the exact opposite. But hey, if you like looking like LiLo and Nicole Richie don’t listen to me. I’m sorry, shiny white leggings that look like stirrup pants. Hell to the No! And don’t even think about that jumpsuit people.

Who am I ?

As a new member of the I want – I got blog team, I thought that my first post should be an introduction of who I am, and why I am on the team. First of all I will be known on the BLOG as MJ, and I have already been secretly giving my feedback and input to Anita about the blog and it’s content over the past several months. Anita feels now that it is time for me to stop being so silent, and to give my two cents in whenever I feel like it!! So that is why I am here… What makes me so deserving of the honour ? Well…. I currently work for one of the largest luxury fashion retailers in Canada, and have been in the fashion industry for almost 11 years. This is the reason why I would like to believe that I was chosen by Anita, but in reality it is because I have great connections!!!! Already she has weasled her way into a Fashion show with me …

Gap Press Pret-a-Porter 2006-2007 Autumn & Winter Paris/London This magazine is awesome. All the shows from London and Paris are represented in one volume. The photography is beautiful. I can’t wait for the Haute Couture issue comes out. It’s a lot easier to browse this magazine instead of the many online offerings. It makes a great coffee table book also. It’s a little on the expensive side ($36), but if you love fashion it’s well worth it. Each season three issues are produced for Women’s collections: 1) Paris/London 2) Milan/New York 3) Tokyo/Barcelona/Madrid For Haute Couture and Menswear there is one issue each per season. I picked mine up at Indigo(Bay and Bloor) after a freaking wild goose chase around the city.
