Charlotte Olympia Spring Summer 2011

Charlotte Olympia is a girl who loves her platforms.  These shoes from the spring summer 2011 collection give a lot of extra height but are a bit quirky.  I really love the wedge ones. Charlotte Olympia is available at The Room in The Hudson’s Bay images: Charlotte Olympia’s facebook page

Paris Li Spring Summer 2011

I saw Paris Li’s new spring summer 2011 collection at the launch event for Ukamaku, a Toronto based online retailer specializing in Canadian fashion. I really liked the print pieces from her collection.  Easy dressing for summer with a bright pop. Paris Li can be found online at Ukamaku or at York Choice in Bayview Village, 2901 Bayview Avenue. Private appointments can also be made. images: courtesy of Paris Li

Catherine Malandrino x Lacoste Spring Summer 2011

Yes, yes, I know. More collaborations. I like this one between Catherine Malandrino and Lacoste for spring summer 2011. It’s the little pleated tennis dresses. LACOSTE has partnered with world-renowned French designer Catherine Malandrino to create a romantic and youthful new women’s collection for Spring 2011. The pairing couldn’t be more perfect, blending ultra-femininity and “joie de vivre”, the core of each brand’s philosophy. The LACOSTE + MALANDRINO Collection begins with an unexpected encounter of two worlds with a shared French heritage. The fusion of masculine sportif with a feminine perspective creates a new aesthetic – sensual, strong and Paris/New York chic. A wardrobe of fundamental, timeless pieces designed for a feminine, active life. Catherine Malandrino’s classic dress-making techniques of draping, shirring and a unique cut to accentuate the curve of a woman’s body are applied to the iconic LACOSTE polo. A new dimension of lifestyle-wear for a woman in motion. These two looks are my favourite.  I’m all about the maxi length right now.  The classic tennis outfit never finds itself on my bad …

Oliver Spencer Spring Summer 2011

Oliver Spencer is a British menswear label that recently opened a store on Queen Street West. I stopped by the opening party to check it out. It was pretty packed so I didn’t get to see a lot of the clothing. I did end up buying a beautiful Il Bussetto bifold wallet in vibrant green leather. I did manage to snag the Spring Summer 2011 lookbook which I’ve scanned. Queen Street is turning into the menswear strip with the addition of Oliver Spencer. There are a lot of great shops along Queen for you guys. Oliver Spencer 962 Queen Street West Toronto 647 348 7673
