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.

PENGUIN CLASSICS

If you are interested in graphic design, you have probably stumbled across many an internet posting raving about the unsurpassed creativity of the classic Penguin book covers. I could spend hours pouring over photos of these covers, they never cease to inspire me.

 Because of my affinity for quirky tea cups, and coffee mugs, and my love of these wonderful Penguin covers, I must get myself one of these beauties....

MY FAVORITE THINGS

I purchased my mother the new Tony Bennett Christmas album on which he does a cover of My Favorite Things so I was inspired to put together this little collage. What are your favorite things for the holidays?

C'EST DIOR-ETTE!

Hello fellow fashion and design lovers. For my inaugural post I thought I would share with you my AMAZING find of the day. Lately I have been obsessed with Dior Joaillerie and the Diorette collection in particular. I am just in awe of the beauty and intricacy of the pieces. Today during an outing with a friend I was pleasantly surprised to find a copy-cat at guess. No it doesn't boast the sparkling center stone or 9 000+ price tag, but it'll do just fine for me.
