i want: Jonathan Saunders silk skirt and shirt

Jonathan Saunders silk skirt and shirt

I love this skirt and shirt combination by Jonathan Saunders.


The draping on the skirt is fantastic along with the colour combination.


It’s looks a lot better on Net-a-Porter than did it on the runway in the spring.

Jonathan Saunders is actually available in Toronto at Scarlet Boutique. More info on Scarlet Boutique here on Toronto Life.

Karl’s gotta brand new bag.

The Kaiser is coming out with a new bag line and I kinda like some. The line won’t be available until Spring 2009.

My love for Karl Largerfeld has grown 10 fold since reading The Beautiful Fall (see side bar for amazon link). Amazing book which really give you an insight into how brilliant this man is.

i want: Members Only Nylon Jacket

Members Only Berry Nylon Jacket

One of the few things to come back from the 80s that I approve.

Get me some cardboard so I can do a headspin!

Ha, ha. Comment if you saw this in the theater like I did! The arrows are pointing at Jean Claude Van Damme if you can believe it.

EDIT: God, I was sleeping and forgot the image of the jacket

This will never be something I want…

I’ve gotten a couple press releases for this shoe and I just have to laugh.

Toronto, ON – Make the best-dressed list this fall by wearing Alegria, the new “it” shoe from LA. They’re comfortable, affordable and feature the hottest patterns and colors.

Ooooooh, the new shoe trend from L.A. can I hop on the bandwagon? /sarcasm off

Fall Fashion Forecast With Allegria
Cuddle up! Warm, soft and stylish – from jackets to footwear, shearling will be seen on the best dressed this fall. Featuring an ultra-comfort insole, Alegria’s shearling collection is an ideal companion for a crisp fall day.
Get Trendy with Tartan: Plaid is back and hotter than ever. Tights, short dresses, long jackets – Fall runways are cluttered with all sorts of colors and styles of this pattern that’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Purple Haze: Fall fashion runways are awash in a sea of purple and high-gloss plum. Keeping on trend, Alegria has designed a plum, patent shoe that will take fashionista’s from the catwalk to café.
Welcome to the Jungle! Animal prints continue to make a mark on fall fashions, as Out of Africa inspires international runways. Trendsetters will step happy this fall in whimsical, giraffe printed Alegria shoes.

Just like the Ugg, Crocs and this particular Coach shoe the Alegria shoe will stay on my permanent don’t list. It’s doesn’t matter if it’s patent, zebra or tartan. However for you misguided folk who are serious about purchasing a pair of this ugly shoe, visit stephappy.ca to find retailers.

Message Hey, do by any chance know where to get the “Carrie” necklace that she wears in Sex and the City. You know, the gold name printed necklace .. I’ve been trying to find it all over Toronto but haven’t gotten any luck. If you do, that would be great.
Thanks

Personalized Boutique is the official supplier of the “Carrie” necklace which you can purchase online. However if you are looking for something in Toronto, I would suggest going to Made You Look. They do custom work and I’m sure they can come up with something the same.
