REPETTO COLLABORATION

For those who need a break from the sky high platform stilettos du jour, look no further than these delicious little Repetto flats, available at Reborn. In their latest incarnation, Repetto has teamed up with several designers including Ligia Dias, to bring you a fresh twist on their ever popular ballet flat. The Ligia Dias flats (top left, bottom right) are indeed my favourite, as they incorporate both strong and delicate elements, making them perfect for wearing with a feminine frock, or a more tailored casual look. Dias' prior collaborations include stints with Lanvin, Comme des Garcons, and Phillip Lim.

WANTED: LABEL TENT DRESS

Every once in a while you come across that special garment that makes your heart flutter with sheer delight. Let's be honest, for those sartorially obsessed such as I, it does seem to happen far too often for stability of my bank account. None the less, this frock is a show-stopper. Designed by Toronto based firm Label, this easy yet exuberant tent dress is a great way to dress up the ubiquitous fall uniform basics of leggings and a slouchy leather coat.

OLD WORLD GLAMOUR

I'm sure you have all heard the immortal words of Mr. Saint Laurent "Fashions fade, style is eternal". In my opinion Miss Piksi is the true embodiment of this statement. I have mentioned her here before, and I continue to be amazed by her spectacular styling capabilities.

 

LE PARIS DU CHIC

This editorial is the complete imbodiment of the ideal Parisian style which I so adore, and is therefore aptly titled "Le Paris du Chic". Soft feminine blouses with structural trousers and skirts. Tailored jackets, and crisp shirts mixed with slouchy denim. Top it off with the perfect clutch, classic jewels, a pair of loubous, or the latest chloe flats...what more could a girl dream of? French dressing at it's best indeed.
