A gorgeous skirt that immediately caught my eye from DKNY S/S ’11. It is so obviously skillfully crafted, I am in love. 

Marc Jacobs is opening another accessories boutique in SoHo, and this time he’s gotten clever. It’s witty and crafty and it’s called Bookmarc. Could we imagine anything else from him? The store will sell school supplies which were previously sold in Marc by Marc Jacobs boutiques.

I absolutely love this blog. It makes me feel like I am connected to my hometown. It’s full of Canadian street style, art, music and more. When I read it, I am proud to say this blog is about my town. I love Toronto and this blog is made by people who love the city just as much as I do.

Charlotte Ronson’s S/S ’11 collection follows the color trends of nuetrals (whites, topes, yellows, browns), coral-reds, blacks and blues. The presence of creative blue plaid in her collection surprised me, but it’s done in a way which adds lightness and balance to the outfit. There is also a bit of florals which have a fall essence to them, giving those looks the impression of a cool spring day, drawing on the dusky colors of the print. There is also room for some sheer fabrics in the Spring and Ronson creates a few looks incorporating this trend. The black dress pictured below is feminine and flowy, incorporating gold and coral red meshing with the collection. I especially am intrigues by the stockings and sandals, especially for a spring look. Refreshing, in that crisp, fall kind in spring way.

The highly anticipated Alexander Wang RTW S/S’11 showed today. For this upcoming season I have been noticing a strong trend of whites, camels, and golds. Mr. Wang incorporates all of those with the addition of jade, last years hit color (made famous by the Chanel nail varnish). The few jade pieces really stand out to me just because it is a new color amongst the sea of neutrals and whites. The collection overall is comprised of oversized pieces –mainly jackets, draped fabrics, and many plunging necklines.
