Wellies on Parade: Glastonbury 2009



Hunter wellies weren't the only must have of Glastonbury 2009. Cut off jean shorts, wayfarer style sunnies and brightly colored dresses were seen all over the festival.

ICON: Michael Jackson




A true icon, Michael Jackson's passing marks the end of an era. I can't believe it. I had tickets to one of his O2 shows. Now I'll never get to see the 'King of Pop'.



His best albums.

Bloggers Block

Holt Renfrew Bloor St. in Toronto, Canada will be doing something a little different for their upcoming window displays; paying homage to the style bloggers we all know and love such as, JakandJil, Sea of Shoes and the Sartorialist, to name a few. Holts will be going so far to honor these internet trend setters that they are going to be creating mannequins to their likeness. Sounds a little creepy, eh?

Gag-a Me



Last night was the Much Music Video Awards in Toronto, Canada and Lady Gaga was the one turning heads yet again. Not to be outdone by Nickelback's shitshow, Gaga decided to have a pyro-bra for her performance. Not like the studded leather bustier, boots and gloves were enough.

Her other outfit of the night was what seemed to be a dress made out of her extensions. Her hideous hairdoll of a dress even came with its own doggie hairdoll/purse. Gross. In this instance her carpet is matching her drapes and dress and purse, etc. However, I do like her shoes.

Lady Gaga's time in Toronto was was spent singing her ass off at the MMVAs, stumbling out of bars with Mr. Perez Hilton and getting into a brawl on the street that needed to be broken up by the cops. I hope they didn't poker face.

She is Like a Rainbow



There was a rainbow of colors on the red carpet at the CFDA Awards this year. Ashley's orange gown is fresh and the beading on the shoulder is a touch of the unexpected. The cinch belt on Diane's Jason Wu mini balances the black lace shoulder applique. Blake is the ultimate California girl in her hot pink Michael Kors strapless dress and killer tan. Hilary's elegant eggplant Calvin Klein mini is a definite head turner. And, for the first time in a while Kirsten Dunst is not wearing Chanel and she actually looks amazing. Her silver Rodatre mini is taken to the next level with grey buckled Nicholas Kirkwoods instead of their runway thigh highs.

3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2010




I love everything Phillip Lim and his newest collection for Resort 2010 is absolutely amazing. The chic cropped jackets paired with the high waisted 'paperbag' style skirts and shorts gives summer clothing a menswear twist. The lace skirt and top are the perfect mix of sweet and sexy and I need to get myself one of those t shirts! This resort collection is anything but beachwear.

Wardrobe Staple: The Graphic T



The graphic T is the best way to switch it up on your jeans. Look for something eye catching and remember that the perfect fit is essential. Wording can be tricky so avoid anything that is a catchphrase or too 'of-the-moment', the shirt will only last as long as you can stand saying it.

I personally love McQueen's quirky take on military style.


All shirts are available at LaGarconne.

Romper Done Right

Summer is among us and June is the perfect month to try out new summer trends like the Romper.
I am not a fan of the romper. Too many things can go awfully wrong when this trend is attempted by 90% of people. However, there is a right way to do the romper and this picture demonstrates it perfectly:
Hers is not too tight but also not too loose. The pulled back hair and tight tee underneath keep her from looking too sloppy and the oversized handbag, large wayfarers and sleek black flats are all accessories that streamline her outfit. Over all, this is the perfect way to execute the romper so go ahead and try but please, no skin tight ones!

PS1 in Chartreuse



Just picked up the PS1, size medium, in chartreuse. The acid-y yellow hue is the perfect shock of color to take my basic blacks into the summer.

You Too, Carine?

Apparently even Carine is a fan of Rob Pattinson. Twilight just became fashionable.



Sorry about the brief hiatus. I was in LA for the week.

MTV Movie Awards: Fashion Round-Up


The good looks:



Hayden's look is very age appropriate even though she chooses to date guys twice her age. Kristen was true to herself by pairing her cute mini with her signature Cons. Meghan Fox is too hot for words and the only way for her to be hotter is if she showed up naked. Leighton looks the best as usual.


The bad and ugly looks:



Audrina's hair is too light and her one sleeve look isnt helping her pathetic attempt. LC 's dress is a disaster, she probably designed it herself. The Tis should be blond, I can't even comment on the rest of her outfit it is so horrible. Vanessa's dress was too revealing and the color is too close to her 'natural' skin tone.
