i want: Passenger Pigeon clothing

Published by

Passenger Pigeon, the affair continues… I have a coat fetish, big time. I have a double closet dedicated to them. Most of them are vintage, a few are military. There is also my prized possession, Anita. The Bell coat (pictured above) is made from a woolen army blanket. This summer I loved the wrap dress and this fall is no different. I love the Jersey wrap dress made from cotton and bamboo. Instead of birds this one has tree stumps. However another dress has added itself to the mix, the Herringbone Mod Dress. This one is made with bamboo, linen and lined with 100% silk, nice! The tree motive is a big trend with the fall 2006 collection.

High fives by the magazine rack

So MJ and I are going to have dinner. We decide to stop at Indigo and check out the magazines. We freaked out when we discovered the Haute Couture issue of Gap Press were out. We snagged the last 2 copies and shreaked with joy. 8 glossy pages of Dior baby. I’ve come to realize that I hate looking at shows online. This is the second book I’ve purchased from Gap Press. I have to say that a glossy, ad-free book is the much better way to go. It was a little cheaper too, only $30 this time.

Pedro García Shoes I’ve been looking for a great black flat shoe. Something I can wear to work with a suit and perhaps even with a skirt. I don’t want a ballerina flat, I have those. I’m not looking for a deck shoe either, there are lots of them around. Some of the flat shoes I see are just horrendous like these two. However I struck the mother load last night when I saw this shoe. Perfection, exactly what I’m looking for. Of course these are way out of my price range. Pedro Garcia has some other great shoes also.

Marc you suprise me

I’m not a Marc Jacobs fan to be honest. Some of the LV monstrosities are just too much for me. So much so, that I don’t even get around to looking at his other endeavors. I didn’t like his Fall 2007 LV show much when I saw it on style.com. This picture from the spring show doesn’t do anything for me. I write it off as more over-sized shapeless blah. It’s weird though, I saw this Marc by Marc Jacobs cape in person recently and it gives off a totally different vibe. I loved it. Holt Renfrew has it on a third floor mannequin and it looks fantastic. It even looks good on the hanger. I’m into the cape this fall. I might even break out the vintage one I bought years ago but never use. I call it my Sherlock Holmes jacket because it reminds me of something he would wear. It’s nice that it’s in style now. I didn’t like the Marc Jacobs Fall 2006 collection too much and Spring Summer 2007 is …

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.

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.

i want: Sergio Rossi Fall 2006 Shoes

Sergio Rossi Shoes From the Fall 2006 collection. I’m dying here. I usually laugh at booties, it’s like come on, boots or pumps that’s it. I’m learning my lesson. Booties need to look like these two perambulation assisting beauties. Black Croc Ankle Boots The hottest thing ever! Plum Patent leather bootie The second hottest thing ever!

Style Cog

Published by

This is the a cool idea, so I’ve adopted it from Danielle, who adopted it from Style Bubble. I’m really interested in what other people’s wardrobe mechanics consists of so, if you have a little time to do some quick picture searching on Google, please do send me your cogs of style and I will post them up (they will look oh so cool next to each other!). Just to give you a few tips, I don’t mean things that inspire you or things that you want. What I mean are things that you can’t live without on a daily basis in your wardrobe, the things you use to glue everything together OR things that you consider trademarks of your style. My style cog is about generalities. I usually have many versions of any one cogs. I won’t get into specifics, there are too many and I have no time. I’ll use existing posts to highlight my choices. Saves me from taking pictures. 😀 1. Sneakers – Adidas and Diesel are my favourites right now. …

Stella McCartney for Adidas Fall 2006

So as I was browsing press.adidas.com for my slides, I found the latest collection for Stella McCartney. She’s gone and made winter jackets and boots! The ad campagin is typical of Stella for Adidas, the wolves are a nice touch though. Check the press kit for fun photos and stuff.

Jeremy Laing F/W 2006

I don’t like to get adhead of myself too much. I’m not really into thinking about Spring when it’s cold and thinking about Fall when it’s warming up, but that’s just me. I did happen to notice that Jeremy Laing has the F/W 2006 collection pictures up on the website. Love the presentation. Drool away people.
