Must-haves

Sometimes when I'm at work I dream about things I really want. Call me materialistic, whathaveyou, but let's face it: Work can get boring sometimes and it's fun to daydream about stuff you want. Like today for instance, my friend Chris and I were talking about what we would do if we each won millions of dollars. Both of us immediately thought about moving to Paris and shopping along the Champs Elysees. Our other dream is to own a modelling agency heh.


But I was also dreaming about less-expensive things to get.

For example, Scott Schuman aka The Sartorialist, is publishing a book of his photographs, which comes out in August. Scott was in Toronto last week at Holt Renfrew to promote the book. Holt Renfrew by the way made window displays inspired by fashion bloggers such as Sartorialist, Sea of Shoes and Garance Doré.



Scott also told a Globe and Mail reporter that he wants everyone to know that he's good in the sack. A stallion with style.

Next on my fantasy list are The September Issue ringtones!


I can't decide whether I want to get Andre Leon Talley's "It's a famine for beauty honey" or a mignon saying "Anna's Wintour's office."

Third on the list is a pair of those ubiquitous Ray Bans I am seeing on every celeb.
Check them out on Rob Pattinson:


The beauty about them is that they look good on any face, no matter what the shape. I think they're called the Wayfarer Square. I saw a guy wear them today and he looked hot. That's a good enough sales pitch for me.


In non-fashion news, I'm going up to my cottage tomorrow for a week where I'll be lazying about in the sun, swimming, boating and getting into trouble with my cousins.

Ta ta!

Victoria: 1, Anna: 0?

Rumour has it that Victoria Beckham, that wily, Birkin-obsessed alien woman, will be on the cover of a major U.S. fashion magazine in the next few months. Could it be that Anna Wintour decided to be kind and let Vicky be on the cover of her dreams? Will Vogue become a reality for Posh Spice?

Hello! magazine is reporting:

"It's all been kept very hush-hush, but she's going to be a cover star in the autumn. To say it's a huge coup is an understatement. For Victoria to have achieved that, for her own business successes, means she's considered a superstar in her own merits. She is beyond thrilled."

If this is true my friend Elaine will be screaming with glee and will make me raise a toast in Posh's honour. It's been a long time coming.

But I'm not sure whether to believe the reports. The Wintour is known to dislike the WAGness of Posh. I think a combination of her concrete balloon boobs, the tight face, the constant frowning and the always perfectly styled style turns the Wintour off Posh. But then again, she did put Blake fucking Lively on the cover. And Posh deserves Vogue more than Serena Van Der Woodsen. Right?

Anyway, I still like to believe that maybe Wintour is lying to Posh; she gets her to do a photoshoot, promising the cover, and ends up shitting on the polaroids. I love Anna Wintour so much.

And in case you need a reminder of how awesome Anna is, please watch the trailer for The September Issue which opens in October for Canada. So far away!




And here are the shots of stiff Posh, posing her tits off on a swing. It looks like the least fun swing ride that ever happened in the history of swing rides.

Love for Emma

If anyone has seen the Harry Potter movies than I'm sure you know who Emma Watson/Hermione Granger is.

Lately I've been noticing her more, not just because of all the press she's being doing for the Half-Blood Prince, but because of what she's wearing. When she went on the Late Show with David Letterman, I fell in love with the Christopher Kane dress she was wearing.

Here it is:


After that, I poured through photos of Emma to check out what she's been wearing. And I discovered that she's a fashion girl through and through. Her style is very British and all about individuality. It's no wonder that Karl Lagerfeld and Christopher Bailey love her.

She's the cover girl of the August issue of Teen Vogue and the photographs are beautiful. Check them out:







One of the reasons I love Emma's style is that she's not afraid to take chances but (and this is very important) she dresses her age!

Unlike some teen stars who dress as if they are in their 20s and try to show as much skin as possible; Emma always looks classy and stylish but age-appropriate and young (she's 19.)

You will never see her force feeding us her cleavage and you will never have to worry about seeing her panties (except for that hilarious incident at the Half-Blood premiere where she accidentally revealed nude granny panties.)

I can't wait to see how her style will change as she gets older.

Here are some of my favourite Emma Watson looks:
