In honour of the Clothing Show (May 5- 6, 2007) I will featuring my favourite designers that you can find at the show. Starting the week off is Knotty Girls. I previously featured a pearl and silk necklace from Knotty Girls’s designer Danielle Ker. Ribbon is a big feature in Danielle’s designs. She’s a ribbon nut and previously worked at Mokuba, that beautiful and colourful store on the corner of Queen Street West and Portland Ave. Wrap Necklace
A puff sleeve dress with collar detail by DKNY This yellow silk dress is so cute with it’s asymmetrical peter pan collar. I’m loving the mini dress this Spring Summer 2007 season. image: oaknyc.com edit: late night blogging gets you stupid headlines
Eileen Shields shoes These look like those kungfu shoes with an exaggerated platform, loves it. Not available in Canada, boo urn.
I wrote a post called La Senza Spirit vs. Tom Ford a while back. I talked about a pair of knock off Tom Ford Sunglasses I got. I’ve seen two places today that are selling the same knockoff, Obsessions and Old Navy.
It’s time to review the new Mike & Chris collection for Spring/Summer 2007. Of course, I love it. “hunter” ligthweight canvas trench “kennedy” kimono sleeved lightweight cotton canvas swing coat
This image is from Vogue Paris March 2007 featuring a model that I like, Freja Beha. This ode to the 1990s is truly awful. The pants are my biggest problem with this outfit, some things should stay dead. Balmain figured Spring 2007 needed true hammer pants. So very wrong. image: foto_decadent
So Prada has made the turban a hot item for spring 2007. I actually got to touch one in person at Holt Renfrew the other day. These things are tiny. I have a pretty small head and I couldn’t fit into a medium. Is Stam’s head that tiny? I think the turban cost $250 bucks. I also saw the knockoff version from M by Madonna for H&M this weekend, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper ($14.99). Man is that collection boring, I’m sure it will sell though. As you can guess, the H&M version wasn’t quite as nice as Prada.
Adios and Ciao Ciao by tokidoki I love tokidoki so much. The new Spring 2007 LeSportSac handbag collection have Adios on them. The toys will be available in May at Magic Pony and the bags are available at Bonny.
I love the new spring 2007 coats at Club Monaco. First they came in black and khaki with wide cropped sleeves. They look amazing on the mannequin. Then I spotted the slicker version. Grey patent, this would be a standout coat. Unfortunately, I realized that I couldn’t pull it off. I put this coat on and it looked like a big plastic bag wrapped around me. Sigh, no patent jackets for me. 🙁 The black one was okay, but looked much better on the mannequin.
It’s taken a few seasons but I’ve come to like Marni a lot. My favourite partsof the collections are the wonderful coats. Here is a selection of the coats from the Marni Spring 2007 collection.
