A girl really can’t have too much baggage, if it means I get any of these beauties its definitely a case of the more the better. These deserve to be flaunted around, photographed and coveted by the masses! I’m on board with the throwback to the back pack… I even recall being OBSESSED with one girl’s Jasmine Disney backpack in kindergarten (it even have jewels all over)! While nowadays I do find myself leaning more towards quilted and alligator/croc skin (The Row’s exclusive backpack<3) instead of polyester and plastic (which still sounds pretty awesome), there is a new style that was seen ruling the runaways as well….the luggage inspired handbags.
I love the mini, medium and mega versions of this trend, while of course when thinking of luxe luggage Louis Vuitton comes to mind, but for me right now the one that I want is MCM. Take note if you haven’t already ladies and gents this brand has been making a major comback in the recent years. Thanks to hiphop fashion forward men and women and MTLs very own Corey Shapiro, helping feed the needs and dreams of the MCM obsessed.
These bags are for women and men alike so while you could buy that special gift for the man or woman in your life instead of yourself remember…sharing is caring. Well make sure to let them know that when you run out the door with ‘their’ gift.
Are you afraid of the dark? Not anymore…in fact I would live for the night time if I got to have these awesome POLABOY light pictures. Created by Jirko Bannas & Oliver Seltmann these enlarged lit up polaroids are a hipster, vintage, nostalgic art lovers dream. They have great prints to choose from (even some special editions) but if you send them a polaroid pic they can make a custom one just for you! This just went to the top of my X-Mas list. I need need need it….like NEED it….

With the colder weather creeping in I am once again reminded of the changing seasons, the transition from summer to fall and jeans shorts to leather skirts. Oh but there is another important transition that comes to mind, one equally as important as a girls wardrobe…which way does a girl go with the new fall makeup trends. During the sumemr it was bright bee stung lips vs bare glossy looks, but for fall a new great debate has sprung….Vamp colored lips and bold brows vs Cherry pouts and nude lids. Oh what’s a girl to do….
Just cannot stop staring and dreaming about this great chandelier by FACTORY514! It was custom made for a very stylish client who needed an industrial touch to her modern day condo/loft. The best part about this piece is that it’s made by a designer here in MTL! Though already boasting custom sales to restaurants in NYC (BAREBURGER) and Toronto as well, his etsy sales have become a hit accross the pond and Japan as well! Make sure you check out his site for some amazing industrial pieces to brighten up your home decor!
NYFW has come and gone and while we’re all still sifting through the beautiful collections of designers and dreaming up new additions to our wardrobes, I will be adding additional musing to my mood board. No, not a specific collection or material or cut, but color….BLACK. Yes black as in ‘All Black Everything’ a la Jay-Z, and wearing black in order to help lead a more colourful life. But the most important reason that Black has such a powerful presence to me this month is of course Black History Month.
While yes I am appreciative that we have this month to look towards our past in order to gain perspective for our future. We must never forget, that our history no matter where it might originate from, can in no way be summed up in one month. Read More
Monika Sawicka in Vogue Germany January 2012. The prints, fabrics, colors and lighting make me feel all warm and happy inside! I’m lusting for the mash-up of prints and thick silk cuts featured in this spread, just had to post this great editorial. Thought I’d also add my own version of how to make these looks a bit more street friendly (yes I have finally caught on to Polyvore), even if my New Year’s resolution is to dance like no one’s watching (check and mate NYE night) and dress to impress myself and no one else. Enjoy the pics, post & Polyvore! Read More
