Fashion Favourites: Fall/Winter 2014 Shows

Paris Fashion Week came to a close yesterday, officially marking the end of Fashion Month until September. I look forward to the fall shows each year as I favour dark colours, knits, (faux) fur and leather over spring styles. I thought that the fall shows were really strong this year, and as a fashion lover, I thought it would be fun to share with you my favourite shows from New York, London, Milan and Paris.

1. New York: Jill Stuart

I love Jill Stuart's edgy, rock and roll vibe. Stuart's inspiration was the 1970s, and her collection featured mini dresses, wool coats and lots of leather.

 2. London: Burberry

Christopher Bailey just keeps getting better and better. His collection was absolutely gorgeous, featuring colourful hand painted fabrics, dresses and trench coats. This show was my favourite of Fashion Month.

3. Milan: Giorgio Armani

The Max Mara show featured tons of coats in traditional English and Scottish fabrics. While the coats were the star of the show, knits and pencil skirts were also heavily featured.

4. Paris: Saint Laurent

I think that Hedi Slimane is doing a fantastic job as Creative Designer at Saint Laurent. This collection was a nod to the 1960s, and featured a dark colour palette and lots of texture.

Currently Coveting: Bar Carts

Image
Bar carts are my latest home decor obsession. It seems like they are everywhere lately, and I am seriously considering adding one to my own home. They can be super affordable ( try this one from Ikea ) or fancy ( like this one from West Elm ). Apart from the basics like liquor, glasses and a cocktail shaker, you can add all kinds of fun objects to your bar cart such as fresh flowers, candles, framed prints, books, knick knacks, really anything you can think of! Today I'm sharing some bar cart styling inspiration with you. Many of the bar carts I have featured use the Raskog Kitchen Cart from Ikea . I think a trip to Ikea is in store!

April Favourites!

Image
I can't believe it's that time again! To be honest, this list was especially difficult to compile this month. I spent April finishing up a very intensive 8 month + internship postgrad program. Between the exams, reports, projects, presentations, late nights and early mornings, I had very little time to myself to discover new products, so this list mostly includes old favourites that I found myself reaching for this month. 1. Cadbury Mini Eggs :  Mini Eggs are my favourite Easter candy and I don't even want to think of how many I consumed this month (stress eating!). At least I was balancing all that chocolate out with vegan bowls . 2. Live Clean Fresh Face Foaming Daily Cleanser : I picked up this cleanser in my never ending quest to find the best skin care products. I'm glad I did as I really love it. It doesn't contain any harsh ingredients, so it is extremely gentle on the skin. It is for all skin types, and is reasonably priced. $15.49 at S

February Favourites!

Image
I can't believe it's the end of the month already! Here are the products I've been loving during February. 1. Ecotools Essential Eye Set : I'm a big fan of Ecotools cruelty-free and natural makeup brushes. I recently needed some new eye brushes so I picked up this set. Don't expect Mac, Real Techniques or Sigma quality, but you really do get a bang for your buck with this set. I've been very happy with how these brushes perform.  $15 at Rexall and Lawtons drug stores 2. White Barn 3-Wick Candle in Lilac Blossom and Honeysuckle Bouquet : I am so ready for spring, especially with the winter we've been having in Toronto. I love decorating my apartment with these 3-Wick Candles from Bath and Body Works, and last week I decided it was time to pack away my fall/winter candles and replace them with some spring ones. I picked up these two floral scented candles and I love them. Bath and Body Works normally has promotions on these candles, which is an add
