Redemption for Burberry!

Yes! It is time for Burberry to once again make its mark in the handbag market! With a few nice but possibly forgettable handbag collections previously, Burberry has two new pieces which have taken the spotlight in my opinion. The runway show was up and streamed live on the burberry.com website earlier this morning, with a selection of intricately beaded trench coats to structured linen parkas featuring a raffia-trimmed hood, as well as exaggerated sleeves on a full skirt trench. However, with all of these that were noted, they were not as mesmerizing as these two. Brace yourself.

Multicolored Alligator Clutch in Tangerine Color 

Intricate but also done in a color combination resembling hysteria, 

it is a true necessity for true fashionista on an evening out

$3495 CAD via burberry.com pre-order until 09/26/11

Alligator Herringbone Rattan Clutch in Beetroot Color

Anyone who has a preference for a bag with structure and linear lines (like me) would

not have to think twice about this one. Again intricate, in an elegant shape, but also a good size.

IMO It's the Perfect Timing for Fashion!

Summer is coming to an end and with this means goodbye to skimpy clothing, and hello to layering. Fall is the perfect time to be fashionable, being especially true for Calgary. Light wool coats, leggings, denim, boots, scarves... And not to mention that with the end of the New York Fashion Week, designers are now hosting runway events for the newly anticipated Ladies Spring/Summer 2012 collections in London!

The two I generally look forward to are Burberry Prorsum and Mulberry! :) Which runway collections excite you?

I can't believe that someone made that mistake... :(

This was a good laugh for me. Hopefully no one took this particular persons fashion advice.

Goyard!

Goyard is one of those brands that are quite exclusive, with only a handful of stores worldwide. Not exactly a subtle print; however, it is not as "well-known" as the typical designer labels that are heard in every household. This label definitely deserves recognition, especially for the intricacy applied to each item - the print is hand painted!

It gets lighter at the end of the tunnel

Summer is almost over, but I know that I personally will not exactly miss it. Although, having said this, I do not look forward to the frigid cold either. However, Louis Vuitton has introduced a Spring/Summer 2012 collection that is definitely worth the anticipation! A range of wonderfully tailored suiting, over-sized holdall bags, classic structured leathers, all inspired by the underlying theme of travel.
There was one item though, that immediately caught my attention and had me infatuated. Not normally an every day size, but it would make for quite the statement.
