i want this
Chloé accessories are tugging at my heartstrings. I think this is almost perfection in a bag form. I love the contrast of the linen, leather and black piping. A little longer strap would make this perfect because then you could also carry it cross-body. images: net-a-porter.com
Another great thing to come out of the Prada spring summer 2011 collection is the handbags. It was all out colour. They are simple bag shapes, made out of cotton and probably priced a bit on the high side. That doesn’t stop me wanting the schoolboy like satchels at all. images: tooklookbook.com
These tunic dresses by Bottega Veneta are so easy wearing and perfect for summer. I love the watercolour print. They could also work into the fall season with some leggings. images: bottegaveneta.com
Summer isn’t here yet but I’m thinking about these perforated leather sandals by Givenchy images: net-a-porter.com
It’s surprising that the bags I like from Bottega Veneta’s Resort 2011 collection are canvas. There is something about this print that just draws me in. Empire Nero Canvas Vachette Bolle Print “the Couple” Tote is made to be carried by two people so you can use it for picnics, etc. Assenzio Nero Canvas Vachette Bolle Print Tote is a more traditional sized bag. images: bottegaveneta.com
These glitter brogues by Miu Miu are so much fun. They are the perfect accent to a menswear inspired outfit. I’ve seen these ones at Holt Renfrew on Bloor. images: net-a-porter.com
Formal gowns are on my mind a lot. I don’t own one and I feel there’s a bit of a hole in my wardrobe because of it. This simple black gown by Joseph has an amazing back. images: net-a-porter.com
There are times when I stare at my shoe collection looking for a simple heel. This always happens when I’m looking for something dressy or black tie. I like these Paloma Satin Platform Pumps by Charlotte Olympia ones because they have a platform and are pretty neutral but the little detail on the heel makes them different. Charlotte Olympia is available at The Room by The Hudson’s Bay. images: net-a-porter.com
I’m currently a little obsessed with swimsuits and I love what Australian based, Black Milk Clothing is doing. So nerdy. First for the art nerd. Black Milk actually won my heart with The Kiss by Klimt swimsuit. The Kiss is my all time favourite painting and I need to own this. They have some other art suits by Van Gogh (pictured) and Dada. The science nerd has a lot to drool over at Black Milk. First up the Threepo, Artoo and Darkside swimsuits. No self respecting Star Wars nerd can deny how cool these suits are. Even this bitter Star Wars fan can get behind it. Of course, you have some classic space imagery to choose from too. Skulls aren’t left out and I like these two designs. They are kinda creepy. Black Milk also makes leggings and again they hit me with another one of my art loves, M.C. Escher. These are the best tights in the whole world and like The Kiss, I must own them. You can purchase Black Milk Clothing at …
The YSL downtown bag is another classic I like. This one is in a pony fabric and that makes it a bit different than the rest. images: net-a-porter.com
