OMG.

HOW AMAZING ARE THESE!!
"Woofers" by Sander Mulder

SS11

My favourite look from Alexander McQueen's SS'11 Menswear line. The trench blazer is amazing for so many reasons.

Grr

I AM SO SICK OF WAIST BELTS!!!!!!!! That is all.

"Always keep your eyes open, never go to sleep in the car or anything like that. Keep watching because whatever you see out the window, or wherever, it can inspire you." - Grace quoting Norman Parkinson in the September Issue

HOT.

These beautiful, gorgeous heels are the Cindy Masako platform pumps. I thought they were deserving of a single post. Carrie wore them in SATC2 to the wedding.

David Bailey - Still Life

I saw a posting on SLAMXHYPE's blog saying David Bailey (who I had never heard of before) is exhibiting new work at Hamilton's Gallery in Mayfair London. When I saw the pics I fell in love. They remind me of some vanitas still life work I saw at the Vermeer exhibit in Vancouver.

David Bailey's work:



Vanitas Still Life art:



The word "vanitas" is Latin, meaning "emptiness" and loosely translated corresponds to the meaninglessness of earthly life and the transient nature of vanity. Paintings executed in the vanitas style are meant as a reminder of the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. They also provided a moral justification for many paintings of attractive objects. It is my favourite style of artwork.

"Cruise Collections"

Why do "they" call it cruise collection? Why not just call it travel collection?

love. want. where?

Subway Fashion

I saw a lot of people wearing this shirt today. It got me wondering; how long do you think this movement/feeling in our new generation will go on? Do you think it'll keep getting strengthened as things happen like the BP oil spill? Hm. I like it.

The Bay in the News

In little over a year, The Bay has dropped approximately 800 brands from its portfolio and picked up only 200 carefully selected new ones, most of which were previously not available in Canada.

The retailer has plans to open additional upscale “The Room” boutiques showcasing the world’s most talked about designers.

Hmm.

Decorating My Condo (is hard)

I have had so much difficulty designing my condo. I've been here for 6 months and you would think by 25 years old I would know my style right? Nope! I had an epiphany while I was shopping today though. My style is bohemian. I couldn't put myself into the old world, traditional or modern box because not only do I like all three but I LOVE eclectic, quirky pieces. I like the contrasts of fabrics, patterns and colours and I LOVE anything renaissance with a romantic feel to it. I love florals. I also love things that remind me of the 80s and 90s because of the nostalgia. I am largely a feeling based person so I like pieces that draw out emotions and images. I like when you walk into a room and it tells a story. Take the picture above; aren't you dying to know who lives here? What does she do at that desk?

My condo is painted a very warm-orangey-beige and it's really hard for me to work with. I think I'm going to paint my room (eventually) a very light pink. Although, after painting my last apartment I think I might wait until I can hire someone...

Right now I'm trying to figure out what to do with my den. I want it to be a social room but also a comfortable place for my kitties because they're always there looking out the windows. I saw a beautiful showroom in Ikea that gave me some ideas.

Sex and the City 2

I saw SATC2 the other night in Oakville VIP; the theatre with drinks! They actually brought the bar into the theatre for SATC... you usually have to buy your drinks at the lounge and take them in. I thought it was cute that all the ladies were getting daiquiris and cosmo's (I had my first cosmopolitan last night).

Favourite looks:
-Carrie's shoes & CROWN. at the wedding
-Samantha's karaoke outfit
-The Louboutin's; I can't remember what scene
-Carrie's karaoke outfit (the denim or pants)
-Miranda's pink dior suit (opening scene)

Need Help Landing Your Dream Job?

PHILIPPE DESROCHERS of 24 Hours Vancouver posted a great article today about landing your dream job and offered a free coaching session to those submitting an essay. I think it's an incredible strategy.

"Over the past two years I have written about being persuasive, approach letters, providing sample work, phoning employers and booking job interviews. These are very effective tools to have a significant advantage in your job search.

The latest development in my work has revealed that when you combine these tools together as a targeted strategy, you are in a position to actually invent a job. Employers actually create a job just for you."

"I proved to you in this article that the invent-a-job market is very real. Now it is your turn to convince me why you want to invent a job for yourself and learn the strategy. Send me a 250-word essay explaining the benefits to you. The entry with the most convincing piece will win a free coaching session where I will teach you the method.

To learn more about the Invent-a-Job Strategy, email me personally at philippe@dr-career.com. Feel free to visit my site as well at www.dr-career.com."
