Style Crush : Audrey Tatou
I finally got to see "Coco before Chanel" and loved it! It is based on the life of Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" & tells the inspirational story about the woman who founded the french brand Chanel. Coco embodied the modern woman before inventing her, in both style and personality.
Audrey Tatou performed brilliantly, as usual, and has such a great sense of style. Here are some of the outfits she wore to the premieres around the world.
Everything about the outfit is great. The feminine lacy top pairs well with the tough leather skirt.
Another beautiful sheath paired with great pumps.
The color of the dress is what makes it so special along with the beautiful draping at the neck.
These shoes are the perfect mix of classy and edgy at the same time.
Loving the gold hardware on this suede clutch.

Lust Item Of Week : Booties
I am loving these grey lace up booties and are a must for this time of the year. They would look great paired with a short skirt or even jeans for a more casual look. The heel is not extremely high which makes them very wearable to work or to shop!
I have found a very similar pair at Winners for a great price (unfortunately cannot find a photo). There are also similar options at Browns, a great pair from Michael Kors which are more rugged and sporty.

Celeb Look of the Week: Louis Vuitton fashion week arrivals in Paris
Louis Vuitton fashion week arrivals in Paris are the celeb look of the week!
I was looking for pictures to post for the look of the week, but there were so many great arrivals at the Louis Vuitton pret-a-porter show this week in Paris, I couldn't do anything but name the arrivals list as looks of the week!
My favorites were:
I love her shoes, they are just so cute with the bow! Also, the look is a modern, sexy and feminine twist on a tuxedo. Love it!
First of all, I think whatever Miranda Kerr wears always looks fantastic just because she's drop dead gorgeous. On someone else, this dress could've looked dainty and like a curtain, but Miranda pulls it off with her poise! She gives this dress a young hip look... Like a breath of fresh air!
Love this look. The luster of the material (metallic look) and semi-geometrical shapes at her shoulders give a futuristic take on ruffly blouses. The matching headband is adorable. Notice that she didn't wear a necklace or anything around her neck; a necklace could've potentially been too much bling to match the shirt or could've taken away from the shirt's effect. Not sure how I feel about the shoes... The one-glove is cute - homage to MJ?
VIRGINIE LEDOYEN and GONG LI and a ONE-LUCKY DUDE:
I just love ruffles and femininity in clothing! I love what Virginie Ledoyen is wearing!!! Check out Gong Li's shoes!!!
By the way, this is what the runway at Louis Vuitton Pret-a-porter Spring/Summer fashion show looked like:
Yikes! Very Marc Jacobs IMHO... ;)

LEIGHTON MEESTER:
There's a lot going on here with the socks and the open shoe sandals, but Leighton's got the legs to pull it off. I love the wild coloured dress, and the little sweater over her shoulders helps to tone it down a little.
DAISY LOWE (British model):
Miranda Kerr:
A very pregnant ADRIANA LIMA:
Okay, she looks amazing for a very-pregnant woman! How is she standing in those heels with that extra weight? Anyway, I love the dress, it's very feminine and soft. Makes me think of the dresses that are sculpted in statues of Greek goddesses... In this case, Brazilian Goddess!
KATY PERRY:

The latest fall/winter collections : Re-discovering Tristan
Re-discovering Tristan after it lost America and lost Iseut
I was shopping for a dress at Fairview this weekend and after a few shops, my friend suggested we take a look in Tristan.
Ok, I have to admit I didn't really think I was going to find anything at Tristan. I hadn't been in Tristan in ages, since as far as I could remember, it was clothing way beyond my age and budget (ok I admit I'm at least 5 years older now and working, but what I mean is that it's stuff my mom would wear).
When I trudged into the store, my eye caught a glimpse of some really cute outfits right away. What a surprise! The styles I spotted were fresh, some very trendy. The colors of the clothes, the racks, the tables, and the walls were all so modern - what a nice change from the former dark walls and dim lighting!
The salesperson told me that in the last year, Tristan had been changing their look. First, they dropped the name America and put all the collections under the Tristan banner (remember when Tristan was 'Tristan and Iseut' for women and America was only for men?). Second, they modernized their styles and tried to appeal to a younger crowd.
There's still clothing tailored to the more mature woman. I guess I could say they've got two looks to their newest collection, one more work/conservative look and the other one being more trendy and casual.
<-- They changed their logo too :)
I came out of the store with a green dress (from their summer collection - on sale :) ) and with this nice and happy feeling. I'm happy to have "re-discovered" Tristan especially because it's Canadian and local (head office is in Montreal). They were showcasing their Canadian-made items (on promotion) 2 weeks ago, but I wasn't able to post this in time...
Tristan's newest collection (fall/winter - in stores now) has some really fabulous pieces that are so in line with what's in style now. Check it out at : http://www.tristanstyle.com
Here's a sample of my favourite looks:
