Kelsey Girl

A relative new-comer - Kelsey Van Mook is another hot Canadian model to watch for. After opening the Givenchy F09 show and then landing the Givenchy Dance perfume campaign - hopefully F10 will be her season?

Miuccia's High-Tech Beach

Of course leave it to Miuccia to hit it out of the park with her Spring 2010 look-book. A veritable mash-up of beachy photo-images combo-ed with high-tech fabrics and youthful models all making me think SPRING. Her inspiration was apparently "business to beach". Lol. The world needs more dreamers.

Into the Dark

Reminding me of the long layers from F09 Haider Ackermann collection. Flawless.

Hard and Soft

Sounds a little racy - but may this be my new mantra for spring dressing? What better way to freshen up all those black, sharp somewhat sombre clothes I've been collecting (hello Haider Ackermann leather leggings thank you NY sales) than adding something light and soft on top? Christine Centenera does it best combo-ing sharp shoulders, studs and pastels. Likey?

Pre-Fall?

OK I admit it's rather sick and twisted to even be contemplating Fall 10 when we are clearly still in the throes of real WINTER. For those of you that live considerably closer to the equator - congratulations. But for the rest of us spring can't come soon enough!

Until then we have the pre-fall collections to amuse us... and that they certainly do. Favorites? Preen, Wang, Givenchy, Pringle of Scotland (who knew?), Balenciaga, and Proenza. To die for!

Nightingale To Go

Gulp. The Givenchy Nightingale on wheels? I'm dying inside thinking of the kind of company this bag would keep me on those serious long-haul flights. Not to mention the heads that would turn sprinting through HK International or London Heathrow with it in tow. Not that it's about turning heads, right?

Treading Designer Water...

Ay-ight. This is where you get to laugh at me because I was a little cocky with my last post - poking fun at your lazy holiday ass and all. Ya I thought it was comical. That was until the first week of 2010 kicked my sorry ass. So back-to-work is never fun but suddenly it's as though I need 36 hours in every day, while my sinuses decided to take a sabbatical conveniently at the same time that US is overly concerned with H1N1 (for sure it started in Canada) and I'm heading to NY Sunday. Grr. So the answer is NO - I certainly didn't have time to DIY myself a jean jacket inspired by last season Givenchy - or a Chanel tee for that matter? February will be better. xoxo

Deep-Freeze

Yo. Are you still there? Did you survive all the festivities? Are you now regretting consuming all manor of food/drink put in front of you in the last 10 days and adding new resolutions for 2010 - like not consuming everything put in front of you? Hehe. The holidays.

We're in the middle of a major deep-freeze here in Montreal. Which was fantastic for snowboarding and bonding with the couch/dog (2 go together) - but not so fantastic for getting around town. These 2 lovelies hit it right with a good balance of bundling and practicality. Just in case you're planning on getting off the couch sometime soon? All the best for twenty-ten.
