Throwback: Backback vs Luggage Briefcase

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.

Bare vs Bold: Fall Make-Up Trends


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….

Lustworthy: Helmut Lang Blazer

Dancing away in my dreams is this lovely blazer by Helmut Lang. It has a femenin feel matched with a masculine edge thanks to the assymetrical cut, and oh so sexy black (oh how i wish it was leather) detail really makes it a fashion stand out.

BHM at NYFW. All Black Everything

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 »
