Fashion Education
I’m feeling like a sponge these days, eager to soak up whatever knowledge I can. My focus has been shifting ever so slightly from the big screen to paperbacks. As detail oriented as I am, (or anal as my fiancé would like may label my particular quality!) my attention to the small things seems to be heightened when it comes to anything fashion.
Studying pattern making, or the history of Chanel in Paris or reading a bio on lets say Canadian fashion authority Jeanne Becker who has influenced so much of the way fashion is viewed in Canada would be a fantastic treat to indulge in while sitting on the swing in my yard with a glass of cool lemonade for the summer!
A few books I’ve been eyeing for a read include Derek Blasbergs “Classy”, I know it’s been out for sometime now I just haven’t had a chance to pick it up! I’d also love to read Alexander McQueens’s “Genius of a Generation” or his latest “Savage Beauty” based on his exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art organized by The Costume Institute this year.
Here’s a few inspiration images I found on StyleCaster of designer Katie Ermilio lux New York apartment. Now this is fashion education, what a collection! What fashion related books are you reading right now? Got any good ones on your wish list? I’d love to hear from you!

Fashion Inspiration: What to Wear to Coachella
The biggest music festival Coachella is fast approaching, starting April 15-17 musical talents including Kanye West, Cee lo Green, Kings of Leon, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu and She Wants Revenge along a long line of other bands will rock the stage for hipsters and celebrities alike.
But what to wear? Don’t worry I got you covered! If your going to be walking around all day in the sun you definitely want to be comfortable. I say create intrest with your accessories; cute studded sandals, a fringe bag, brightly colored bangles and a straw hat are the perfect way to stay stylish, comfortable and cool all at once.
Lanvin x H&M Coming Soon

On November 23, 2010 the power house will join forces with a fashionista style staple; H&M to collaborate on a designer line that will carry both women’s and menswear filled luxury at an affordable…not cheap…affordable price.

Lanvin Fall Winter 2010: Mariacarla Boscono, Anja Rubik andMagdalena Frackowiak
One of my favourite label’s; Lanvin, sheer, dark, bold edgy…but always sophisticated. Shot by Steven Meisel, Mariacarla Boscono, Anja Rubik andMagdalena Frackowiak look eerily similar and equal as fierce.
Lanvin Can Chain Me Up Any Day
There has been an outpour of Lanvin accessories on the red carpet as of late, JLO among the few who wore a very sexy pair of chain T-straps from the spring 2010 collection. Lanvin has long had its shoe game down pat; favourite designer house by far Albert Elbaza has a keen eye for edge, done in a tasteful and sophisticated manner. The shoes from their spring 2010 collection are a perfect example of this. He’s taken classic shapes and added texture and hardware; snake skin, buckles, and multiple ankle chains, or an interesting architectural heel that warrants a second glance, he pays impeccable attention to detail. Maintaining a feminine touch while adding the strength of a seasoned biker chic is why I adore this collection.
Jenny’s Back!
Looks like JLo’s not playing when it comes to her public image and killer fashion selections over the past few days. She trail blazes this week hot on her “The Back Up Plan” Film promotion making stops all over town to let us know that Jenny from the block is Back Bish!
Let’s break down what she’s been wearing over the past few days (from L to R)
To the Screening of The Back Up Plan She selected a Monique Lhuillier leopard printed dress, and Lanvin pumps, not my favourite look of the bunch but she still doesn’t fail to impress with those hot Lanvin chain T-strap pumps, which had the net a buzz, and me with my jaw on the floor. Lanvin is one of my favs, and I need not tell you how hot I think those shoes are!
Next on her way to the Today’s Show in Manhattan she sported a cute red Halston Mini dress, and Christian Louboutin Lully pumps, which Kate Beckinsale also wore recently in a different color to the Condé Nast Traveler “Hot List” party in Las Vegas. Love it because the color is bold and bright and it shows off her post twin bod and killer legs. Why don’t mine look like that yet…? Well I’m trying, almost there!
In New York to record a taping of David Letterman, Jenny stepped out in a chic black wool coat by Canadian designer Mikhael Kale. The silk sleeves give this black coat just enough punch to make you stop and peep it for a second time. Score another for the Canucks!
On the Early Show she wore a bumble bee inspired Sachin + Babi mini dress, with black pumps and matching bangles. This look was the most fun, and even with horizontal stripes running across the entire dress, she looks long and lean. Pulling her hair back was a good decision; it allows the pattern to run its course uninterrupted.
And lastly we must talk about this glittering peach Lanvin dress she was spotted wearing on her way out of her New York City hotel. She’s completely glammed out but avoids looking tacky. This is a look I think might have the masses split but she gets thumbs up from me. Adding the Lanvin pumps to the equation only adds gold stars to my score sheet.
This collection of stellar stunners puts JLO high on the list of True Queens in Hollywood. Which look was your favourite?
