Pumped up kicks

Kat here! Possibly my absolute faaaave accessory. A wicked pair of heels.

A sexy black pair can complete an outfit; a popping bright pair will have all eyes on you; and a sparkly pair instantly glams up your wardrobe {plus who can resist the bling?}

Don't forget to have this playing in the background while you're rocking it.

You've Got Mail

Kat here! Just recently one of my girlfriends Allie (who just happens to be a fashion student extraordinaire) returned home from a summer shopping spree vacation in Hong Kong.

It was no surprise to me that when we got together she was dressed in THE latest fashion, like a gorgeous supermodel {understatement} stepping off the HK runways

(So far) my favourite addition to her wardrobe is her beautiful oversized envelope clutch in an eye-popping blue colour.

Apparently MY envelope clutch didn't make the flight home from Hong Kong. I'm not worried though, I'm sure its in the mail (haha!) anyway, if it did, here's how I imagine it would look...

Can't wait to see what else I can steal borrow from her closet!

"It is difficult to see why Lace should be so expensive, it is mostly holes.."

LOVE: A few years ago I took a textile class in school and I fell in love with lace fabric.  Lace has been around since the 15th century, it was usually made from linen or silk with gold and silver woven into the fabric. Today it's mostly cotton but the use of patterns are amazing! It's safe to say that lace has not and will not ever go out of style, and no matter what the hot trends of season are, lace is always a safe choice!! It's so delicate and dainty, and has the ability to make every girl feel sophisticated, and chic....

Love it!

Put your back into it

Kat here! Recently one of my closest friends in the world and I were window shopping and we ended up (not to our surprise) at BCBG in the dress department.

Her fashion forward eye was directly drawn to an amazing floor length dress with an exposed back (she has a love affair with back-less clothing.) Naturally I encouraged forced her to try it on and needless to say it was absolutely beautiful and thus the inspiration for this post!

I definitely understand the appeal; there's something classy about bare shoulders, something mysterious about a subtle keyhole back opening, something sexy about intricate straps...

Added bonus, it looks great on everyone!

Fall in Love with David Downton

I recently got big time fashion illustrator David Downton's latest book Masters of Fashion Illustration, and have fallen in love with fashion illustration. As an art and culture student I absolutely love all kinds of art, and fashion but when the two are combined into something amazing this kind of art is quickly becoming one of my favourites! The loose lines, the use of colours, and attitude that oozes out of the illustration only cements the idea of fashion as fantasy. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

So beautiful!
