This gorgeous purple gown from Roland Mouret is such a stunner. The shoulders make it seem a bit futuristic to me. Roland Mouret is available at The Room at The Hudson’s Bay. images: net-a-porter.com
Roland Mouret is a good bet for beautiful clothing. I love the back detail on this dress. The daring v-neck brings some sex to this otherwise conservative gown. The gown isn’t black but midnight-navy. Roland Mouret is available at The Room at The Hudson’s Bay. images: net-a-porter.com
I’m still keeping my eye out for beautiful gowns. Donna Karan does great Grecian style gowns. The front slit and back detail make the very sexy without going too far over the top. It’s also made of a fabric called cupro. It was new to me so I looked it up. Cupro – The European cousin of tencel , Cupro is also somewhat similar to rayon in that it is reprocessed cellulose. Like tencel and rayon, the base material for cupro is a regenerated cellulose fiber . Cupro gets its name from cuprammonium, the process that is used to process the wood pulp or cotton linters that are its base material. In this process, the wood pulp or cotton liners are dissolved in an ammoniac copper oxide solution. Cupro fabric breathes like cotton, drapes beautifully, and feels like silk on your skin. Its slinky, curve-hugging drape makes it great for elegant dresses and blouses.(source: answers.com) Donna Karan is available at Holt Renfrew. images: net-a-porter.com
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
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
Le Château has online shopping on their website now so I was taking a look around. I noticed that they were promoting their Resort 2011 collection. I know a lot of mass retailers have collections for this time of the year when people are thinking about spring but the weather isn’t cooperating. I thought it was interesting that with the increasing coverage of resort collections that Le Château would jump on the band wagon. So what does resort look like for women. A lot of stripes, white and blue.
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
