Waiting (Im)patiently . . .

I have been waiting very impatiently for the new Andrews store to re-open . . . I've seen the sketches, the mock-ups, the materials . . . but I haven’t seen the doors open yet! Word around BV is that Andrews will be welcoming us with open arms at some point today, and with a stunning new concept and a line-up of new designers (Halston Heritage, Longchamp, Sonia By Sonia Rykiel, St. John, Smythe and so much more), I’m getting antsy!

I will keep you updated via Twitter all day today so you can be one of the first to check it out.

Lets cross our fingers ladies!

Jeggings And Blazers And Clogs, Oh My!

There are so many drool-worthy trends this season that designers all over the world are utilizing in their Fall 2010 collections.

Some are wild about animal prints. Some are demurely embracing the ladylike shoe and floral dress. Some (well, actually, most) are incorporating camel, cashmere and fur (both faux and genuine) in every imaginable variety.

Then, there’s Gap, who have taken it upon themselves to roll every imaginable trend into their Fall 2010 line (which means there’s really something for everyone!). Black sequined blazers paired with army-inspired slacks with a tuxedo twist. Washed out jeggings with ultra-comfy knits and sky-high clogs. They have it all, and so can you!

Check out the collection, in stores now.

PS – It may be a good idea to plan ahead, as, with so many options, it’s easy to “over-haute”!

Charmed

I discovered the Pandora jewellery line in Cupido. Renowned for its twist on the charm bracelet—I instantly fancied one. These bracelets are handmade out of leather, silver or gold . . . if you so desire (trust me you will), they can be personalized with charms, made of precious and semi-precious stones.

It’s really a collection process of charms to add character to the bracelet . . . they can be placed and rearranged for a new look when the mood strikes. Each charm has a different meaning or expression that can represent who you are and what you’re feeling at the moment. Charming, isn’t it?

Talking With Myself

Just when I finished saying to myself, “no more black clothing for you!”, I heard about this stunner’s pending arrival at Your Choice. It’s Valentino Red. How great is that lace back? Despite the fact that my closet is probably 75 per cent black, I seriously don’t think that’s cause for a complete starvation diet, do you? I wonder where I would get such a crazy idea anyways . . . no more black . . . sheesh!

Ironically, I also told myself, “no more grey sweaters” and then I saw a really cute grey striped sweater vest at Banana Republic. Be straight with me: restricting purchases of warm and cozy sweaters just because they are grey . . . another ridiculous concept, right?

It’s when I start limiting the leopard that you should really start to worry . . .

Grungy-Chic

Believe it or not, yours truly owns a pair of Doc Martens . . .

But I really have to say there's nothing else like them! They're fabulously comfortable and they're basically indestructible . . . with a steel-toe and some heavy duty leather. Doc Martens can suit both your glam and grungy looks, while giving off a classically edgy vibe.

These kicks are definitely a must-have for this Fall—they're bursting out in colours and designs to suit anyone's style needs.

I suggest you pop into Capezio and give them a try—you will love them! Just picture them with your skinny jeans and your beautiful chunky cable-knit sweaters!
