Reed Krakoff Love

Caroline — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:58:44 +0000

Last year I fell in love with Reed Krakoff’s fun assortment of shoes and handbags. Reed Krakoff is the more youthful and dynamic brand to mother brand Coach’s more matronly offerings. I find that most people – myself included – tend to focus too much on building closets based on neutral, practical, passe-partout colours and forget how much brighter tones can enliven our days and show off our personalities. A few of my favourite items from the latest collection:

Yep, this is a gym bag. At 900 USD a pop, it’s too expensive for my blood considering how fast I’d wear it out or otherwise mess it up.

Suno Love: Fall 2010 Ready-To-Wear Collection

How cute is Suno‘s fall collection? I continue to be fascinated with the label’s use of colour, the boldness of the pieces – which are somehow still really wearable - as well as the references to African style.

See By Chloe’s Too Cute To Be Summer 2010 Collection

Caroline — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:40:54 +0000

I have to say, See By Chloe’s summer ’10 collection is really adorable. Overalls with big bows. Sailor stripes. Long drapey jackets. Little blazers with cute shorts. Adorable prints and lovely casual dresses. And of course the usual array of fantastic bags and footwear. Almost too much to take!

Proenza Schouler’s Rad Pre-Fall 2010 Line

Things I like about Proenza Schouler‘s Pre-Fall collection:

1. Preppy chic: some pieces wouldn’t look out of place on an Ivy League campus

2. Sober & tough: there’s a certain rigidity in the structure of the pieces

3. Boyish: some of the jackets, especially, look like they were borrowed from a boyfriend

Altogether, I’m really loving this collection.

Suno NY: African-influenced high fashion

I have been gawking at SUNO NY‘s gorgeously colourful clothes for the better part of the last month. Would love to add one of their signature pieces to my wardrobe!
