you can't fake fashion

Let's be real, the fashion industry has faced huge problems when it comes to counterfeiting. The CFDA has so elegantly collaborated with eBay to create a collection of canvas tote bags stating "you can't fake fashion". They sold out within minutes! These totes were created by CFDA designers. The only one which is left is the original CFDA plain one seen above, but you MUST check out the various designs and styles by the CFDA designers to see what you missed! ♥

trend watch: clogs

I remember having clogs as a young girl. Today, my love for clogs have grown once again and I bought a pair which I thought I would love but ended up returning them because I ended up not liking them at all!

With the season continuing, clogs have been reinvented, and I definitely think that the Sweds make it best. Not only that they have so much style. Paired with a cute pair of ankle high socks they are definitely a good basic summer slip on. A little bit of height never hurt anyone either. Man repeller? Maybe so, but I love the little Swedish clogs. Check these ones out!

1) Clarks Cheddar Gorge $53
2) Swedish Hasbeens $222
3) Svens $195

Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture Collection

Wow! Were my first words that came out of my mouth when I saw this gorgeous collection. If you didn't know by now, I am so into white for this season. The D&G Spring/Summer 2011 was filled with white gowns and now Elie Saab is releasing the Fall 2011 Couture Collection perfect for the red carpet or any event you need to stand out at. I love the transition from light to dark on the runway, and how you can tell it's a cohesive collection. I would love to wear one of those dresses, but to where? Above are my few favourite gowns which the collection offered. Check out the rest of the collection on Fashionologie. ♥

Paper Crown

Last summer, Lauren Conrad announced that she wanted to create a contemporary clothing line with her friends. It is called Paper Crown, and she has released a sneak peek on Facebook! These are the pieces and outfits I love, but I definitely have to say, I can see Lauren wearing all of these pieces.

What I love are the simple lines and the basic colours. The collection does not get too crazy with print or pleats, but rather stays to the simplicity of basics. Something that is a staple in everyone's closet. Check out the rest of the look book on InStyle.♥

I am so in love with D&G's 2011 Spring/Summer white dresses. Not only do they look delicate and feminine, they look extremely chic and smart at the same time. But because not all of us have the cash to splurge on a to die for D&G dress, here are some alternatives. These dresses are perfect from day to night, because the white can make the dress seem a bit more casual, yet there is so much detail to them which make them seem like an evening dress. I would definitely take these dresses on vacation.

Imitation Kiki Dress $303

CFDA Awards: Best Dresses & Winners

If you didn't know, yesterday everyone was focused on the Canucks vs Boston game while I was focusing on the CFDA Awards!! You can't attend the CFDA Awards without looking amazing!! Below are my favourites.


I always give kudos to the woman that pulls off the perfectly tailored suit. It's so risky, especially when the world expects you to wear a dress. Kirsten Dunst definitely pulls this one off in a Patrik Ervell tux and shirt. It is perfectly tailored. I've seen some people try to pull off this look, but fail. Kirsten Dunst stands out in the perfect way, topping it off with Prada stilettos and Bulgari jewelry.

Lady Gaga is still killing it. She made an entrance in McQueen of course. Now this dress takes the little black dress to the next level. Look at the detailing on it. I would kill to be in that dress. The dress is sexy, elegant, and kills all at the same time. I'm in love. Unfortunately she had a wardrobe malfunction and her chest popped out. Luckily Lady Gaga pulls off anything.

The winners of the night were:

Womenswear Designer of the Year: Jack McCollough & Lazaro Hernandez for Proenza Schouler
Menswear Designer of the Year: Michael Bastian
Accessory Designer of the Year: Alexander Wang
Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent: Womenswear: Prabal Gurung Accessories: Eddie Borgo
Fashion Icon Award: Lady Gaga
Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award: Marc Jacobs

The Blacks & Grays

The Nudes

Check out the Spring 2011 Elizabeth & James pieces from their look book. I'm in love. These are my absolute favourite pieces. They are so easy to wear and slip on, and I'm digging the whole socks & sandals look. There is no such thing as fashion faux pas. Everything is so simple and clean, yet carefree and stylish. This line is romantic with such solid pieces to mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe. I am infatuated. To check out more of Elizabeth & James Spring 2011 click here. ♥

the white dresses of Cannes Film Festival

A lot of white is all over the place this season and I'm not complaining. It is such a basic colour, with tons of flair yet simplicity and definitely jumps out not only on the red carpet, but anywhere you go. Keep in mind you have to keep in clean in order to look spectacular. These are a few of my favourite white pieces which showed up at the Cannes Film Festival. These dresses definitely stole the show, yet displayed each stars' individual personality. ♥

Norma Kamali Cat Eye

To die for!! I love these sunnies by Norma Kamali. They are absolutely fabulous and are going for $250. These sunglasses are the Square Cat Eye ZYL Frame in Tortoise. Sunglass love! ♥

rose tinted time

I love this Michael Kors Large Rose Gold Chronograph Watch. Definitely has prestige and stands out like no other watch. I also like how it's not your usual gold or silver. Rather a rose gold. Sort of a sweet colour if you ask me. And it doesn't hurt that this baby pink tint is such a huge colour for this spring! ♥

Classic Coach

There was once upon a time when Coach didn't have their logos all over their bags. Well Coach is taking you back to the 1970s and reissuing five of their classic handbags designed by Bonnie Cashin. Their classic collection will only be on Net-A-Porter, ranging from $298 to $398. ♥

Gucci loves you

Gucci launched a limited edition bracelet on April 23 to help Japan. These bracelets are simple and non-allergenic white calf leather. I think they are pretty cute. The bracelets are on sale at Gucci stores in Japan, Europe, US and Asia. They are selling for $100 each with proceeds going towards the Japanese Red Cross Society. ♥

Khloe Kardashians shoe mania

I think I need a shoe closet like this. Elle magazine went into Khloe Kardashians place and this by far is the best part!

“I love all of my shoes! It is a must to have them color coordinated, and to be able to see each and every one of them. I know exactly where each one lives and I can tell if one has even been moved! It definitely helps to put one shoe facing front, and the other to the back. It saves space, but it is also nice to be able to see the back-side of the shoe. I am an organization freak!”
