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.

I own these Dolce Vita wedge sandals in beige. They are much more fabulous in hot pink, no?

Alexander Wang Footwear

Online shopping and designer fashion are evil tempters for me. Like with these latest Alex Wang beauts. It would be so easy, with the click of a button, to blow all of my savings. But it makes me wonder: would it be that bad to be broke, if I were fabulous as well?

Summer Feet!

I absolutely cannot wait for summer feet: to have manicured toes and wear cute sandals. It’s funny how I love sandals so much but I never buy them because I get overwhelmed by all the choice! Here are a few lovely styles I’ve spotted.

Where to buy: 1- Loeffler Randall x Suno / 2- 3.1 Phillip Lim / 3- Tory Burch / 4-Balenciaga / 5-Dolce Vita / 6-Alexander McQueen / 7-Sam Edelman

Me Gusta Chie Miahara

Caroline — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 10:35:17 +0000

As the air turns crisp here in Montreal, I’m easing away from bare toes and back to closed shoes and pulling jackets over my short-sleeved tops. I’d love to pretend that summer isn’t ending – I love the season so much – but such denial would be silly at this point. Because the truth is: I cherish my warmth and coziness above all. And that means, turning my attention to my fall wardrobe. Because who am I kidding. This is Montreal.

To that point, I have my heart set on these Chie Miahara boots from the fall-winter collection. The Brazilian-born, Spanish-based, half-Japanese shoe designer creates footwear that has a rugged yet classic femininity that is distinct from anything else I spot in stores. The chunky, medium- to low-heels are pretty yet comfortable for everyday wear. I could see myself getting cozy in these, right about now.

Raving About: Loeffler Randall Rain Booties

A lovely alternative to your standard wellies are these Loeffler Randall rain booties. I could totally get behind this chic twist to the standard rubber boot!
