winterwear dilemma



So here in Toronto we face the annual crisis of what on earth to wear during the 7, sometimes 8, months of brutal winter we get - and we mean winter with a capitol W. Every year, we search for a coat which will allow us to look our best while remaining alive and functional. If we could wear a fab coat like Julia's (above) with bare legs and ankle boots on a daily basis we would, but the weather just won't allow it. We need to get creative here.

black booties



Another shoe post-but it's because I stumbled upon an amazing vintage shoe sale this weekend where I found my fall 08 almost dream bootie (the dream would be those Chloe's that were posted back sometime in July). Pictures of the purchase to come tomorrow.

more spring runway: burberry prorsum


Christopher Bailey's aesthetic for Burberry Prorsum is always consistent. He's one of the few designers who's use of colour we really like. Too bad those lovely soft colours will never fully translate into our almost entirely black wardrobes. Maybe that will change come spring...

Resaon # 16252 why we love Kate Lanphear



So simple and so awsome. We can't help but love her even more since she appreciates our favorite colour scheme of black and white.

Dear Kate,

we will work for free.

Sincerely,

Stephanie and Michelle

Thoughts on... Jenni Kayne




NY fashion week failed to make our hearts flutter with excitement-though jenni kayne didn't exactly whip out the latest and greatest, at least she stuck to what she knows and with that-we're happy

MaxAzria Spring 09


More one-pieces for next spring, and lots of them! But we like what MaxAzria has done: clean and simple lines, but still extremely interesting.

the more attainable




while not as jaw dropping, these shoes are still pretty decent

except of course with the exchange rate between Canadian dollar and the pound the topshop shoes may as well go in the unattainable category

knee high, fringe, buckles, and studs-a few of our favorite things...




...all come together in a few killer pairs of shoes.
