There are a few pieces from the Atelier Versace Spring 2010 collection that I’m loving a lot. The Versace website uses very large images to display the collection. It’s worth checking out to see all the details. images: thefashionspot.com
I was doing my regular rounds of Holt Renfrew Bloor Street with The Oracle a few weekends ago. We ran into Tommy Ton of JakandJil. I hadn’t seen Tommy since he started on his adventures during Men’s and Women’s fashion weeks so it was really good to catch up for a bit. I say this to everyone but Tommy is such a sweetheart. The highlight of our catching up was me playing model in Celine for Tommy. I know, it’s pretty lame but simple pleasure right. I’ve always looked, touched and drooled over the Celine pieces in Holts but never dared to try anything on.  With Tommy Ton present I had the perfect excuse. He had me try on two army jackets and I’m posting about the one I really, really love. The jacket is “the sex”. There is something about well made designer goods that just feel like a dream on. If I had to cash to drop on this jacket, I probably would do it in a heartbeat, look at the back of …
I’m in love with Ash’s Lotus Cutout Booties. They would be a fun shoe for spring/summer but I could see myself wearing them into the fall with tights. I heard that Holt Renfrew had the black version but they sold out. Boo.You can purchase them at Shopbop and Nordstrom. UPDATE(April 11, 2010): I saw them in Holts on the weekend. They are not sold out. I didn’t check the price too carefully but they are under $300 I believe. Other stores in Toronto that carry Ash are Balisi, Corbo, Holt Renfrew, Capezio and TNT.
Dexter Skirt by Haute Hippie, Pheasant Feather Skirt by Haute Hippie I love these feathered skirts by Haute Hippie. They are cute and playful but I wonder if they shed a lot. They are available online at ssense.com. images: ssense.com
I posted about the new Lanvin ♥ Acne 2010 collection for women previously on I want – I got. I really love the grey ruched shoulder dress the most out of the collection. Ruched shoulder dress with a beautiful, feminine fit. The ruching sits over the left shoulder, with pleats running across the bust. The right shoulder is sleeveless. A zipper runs through the back of the dress.(source) The dress is available online at shop.acnestudios.com image: shop.acnestudios.com

Yesterday, I went off about buckle boots. I described my Jeffrey Campbell Potion boots. I then posted about the original source of my fixation with buckle boots, the C02 Buckle Boots by Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony. Not to be outdone, I brought Multi Strap Wedges by Ann Demeulemeester into the mix with her boot.  It has come to my attention that that the K-Genius Shoe by Jeffrey Campbell looks a lot like my C02 Buckle Boots by Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony. I don’t like the Jeffrey Campbell ones much, they would be better in all black. images: openingceremony.us and karmaloop.com
I’ve had buckled boots on the brain today after posts about my Potion Ankle Boots by Jeffrey Campbell and C02 Buckle Boots by Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony obsession. It seems that I should include yet another buckle boot into this narrative. Here is the Multi Strap Wedges by Ann Demeulemeester. images: luisaviaroma.com
The C02 Buckle Boots by Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony are what prompted my Potion Ankle Boots by Jeffrey Campbell purchase. The Potion’s were the inspired versions of the Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony original. While I love my Potion’s they really aren’t a complete substitute for the real C02 Boot. I’d still like to get my hands on these, perhaps in a different colour. I remember seeing a burgundy version at one point. I drool over the hardware details, those buckles are beautiful. You can find the C02 Buckle Boots by Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony online at Opening Ceremony. I haven’t seen or heard of any retailers stocking them in Toronto. I would love to see these shoes up close. images: openingceremony.us
I’m over Balmain again. It’s amazing how I can love one season and not care the next. It was a lot of the same but they went overload on the gold. I did enjoy the Prince runway music. Balmain Automne Hiver 2010/2011 Uploaded by BalmainOfficial. – Independent web videos. What did you think of the collection? I’m pretty meh about it.
