Jeremy Scott Spring 2011

At his spring 2011 show Jeremy Scott showed his love for the city life. With stomped on trench coats, plastic bag blouses, loads of leather and garbage bag skirts, Jeremy Scott showed that he really (insert red heart here) New York. It's scenery was all over his clothing from the pop can mini dresses to the graffiti tees that let everyone know that "No sale is ever final."

I'm a fan of Jeremy Scott because his workmanship is always tops and always done with a twist. This safety pin dress is my favourite piece from the collection.

Jeremy Scott's piece's are fun and quirky but also a definite investment because there's always a joy in wearing a designer piece that's unique and innovative. All in all, Jeremy Scott spring 2011 was a breath of fresh air.

Lanvin Hearts H&M

The collection seems to be shaping up very nicely. I am super excited!

Caitlin Power Spring 2011

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to attend Caitlin Power's spring 2011 show held at the Drake by Creative Magnet. The line was amazing. I was very impressed by the immaculate tailoring and loved the edgy cuts and the mixture of fabrics, especially the crinkled leather panels used in her pieces.

This romper was a favourite of mine.

As was this suit.

I could not keep my eye's off of the details put into her pieces. Caitlin Power has an amazing talent and I'm excited to see what she has in store for the future.

The Afropolitan Collection

I was making my daily blog rounds today and came across this collection on fashionbombdaily.com. The Afropolitan Collection by Eniola Hundeyin is a six piece collection that fuses African fashion and prints, mostly that of Nigeria, with western, downtown inspired shapes and cuts. The collection is vibrant and fun and I would love to own each piece. I see a client like Solange, Tracee Ellis Ross or Nicole Richie enjoying these clothes and hopefully as time goes by Ms. Hundeyin will recieve more notoriety.

You can see what The Afropolitan Collection is all about at http://www.theafropolitancollection.com/

and in the meantime you can check out this video that was done by the designer herself. It's called THE TAKEOVER.

Nigel Barker's The Beauty Equation

This post is coming a little late but better late than never. A couple weeks ago I went to see Nigel Barker speak about his new book The Beauty Equation. The book is part autobiography and part self-help with a series of challenges that readers can do with their digital camaras at home.

You may remember Nigel Barker as a judge from America's Next Top Model. He's also a well-respected photographer whose work has shown in many popular magazines. Barker gave a wonderful lecture about beauty and how the lfe you lead can affect how you percieve your own beauty and how others percieve your beauty.

One of my favourite anecdotes that he gave was about a friend of his that had just left an abusive relationship. She began volunteering at a soup kitchen and within months he noticed that she was walking taller and had a glow about he. He stressed how community service and kindness can help you radiate from within.

The Beauty Equation is an inspiring book from a noted photographer who gives lessons that most would pay thousands to recieve. The challenges are fun and easy and you can share your work on Nigel's website http://www.beautyequation.com/.

For Ladies Who Lunch

Louis Vuitton focused on a luxe, lady-like look for fall 2010, to capture this look invest in a full skirt and a fitted, cropped cardigan then accessorize. Cat-eye glasses, capelets, pointy-toe shoes, brooches, and a unique handbag to top it all off are sure to help you flash back to the fabulous fifties.
