Fun Fact: It was relaxing to go upto the cottage with friends and swim in the lake. The cottage was originally built in 1900 but burnt down in 1920 and was rebuilt in the 1930's. It was very rustic and cozy. There were soooo many mosquitos that we went through a bottle and a half of bug spray! You know when you keep hearing lil' buzzing noises in your ears and you can't stop slapping yourself?!!!haha... They made this new bug spray that smells kinda like watermelons, so we called it our "perfume" for the weekend. HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!

Caillianne- 1940's Cabin Chic + A vintage Mattress
Jacket- Vintage Green and White Pinstripe Bed sheet (borrowed from our friend Ryan's Cottage)
Belt- Brown woven belt (bought ten years ago) from Intermix in New York
Hat- Vintage Abercrombie and Fitch Hat from Brimfield Antique Show in Boston, MA
Leggings- Khaki and leather H&M leggings from the H&M store in L.A
Shoes- F-Troupe from Creatures of Comfort Sample Sale in L.A
Bag- Etro bag from Holt Renfrew in Toronto
The Look: 1940's Cabin Chic + A vintage Mattress
Fun Fact: We had a smashing time at our friend Ryan's Cottage over the weekend! I loved this vintage bed sheet so much I made it into a jacket. Its a bottom sheet with the elastic around the edges so it was easy to do. I just put it over my shoulders and twisted it around my arms and belted it. It reminded me of Miguel Adrover's mattress jacket that he did in 2000 but its a drapey, loose Japanese-esque version of it.
PS. We are going to be on eTalk tonight EST at 7PM discussing "Festival Dressing" and the launch of the new "TopShop Collection" sold at the store Jonathan and Olivia!!! It's the only store in Canada that now offers TopShop clothes! Ohhh YAAAA!!! Tune in!
Foire de Paris
I spent Monday night at the Fair , since I saw the Wheel of Fortune on friday afternoon I kept constantly thinking I had to go and have some childish fun, which I love. I did it a lot when a little girl ( not saying I am not anymore),
and I will always like it. We kids love colors and freedom, and I had quite a lot yesterday!
In the end Andy and me finished a great day laughing and talking about everything in front of La Tour Eiffel.
But those are pictures in tomorrow's post because for now I' m going to bed. Good night!
Bisous!

Caillianne- Philadelphia Cream Cheese Angel + Dove
Dress- Capucci Dress from Fall 2003 Collection (borrowed from Mom) from Holt Renfrew in Toronto
Shoes- D&G Gold shoes from D&G store in New York
Purse- Vintage (no label) purse a gift from our neighbour
The Look: Philadelphia Cream Cheese Angel + Dove
Fun Fact: My Mom got this dress 7 years ago! And since we were going to a white party, she let me borrow it! YAY! Capucci is an Italian house that was founded by Roberto Capucci who is 80 years old. He hired Bernhard Willhelm in Fall 2003 to re-invent Capucci and bring back some of Capucci's trademark dresses. Unfortunately, Capucci only lasted 2 seasons! (sob sob!) The collection is so amazing!

My absolute favorite thing about these pictures is the lady with the blue nails who's looking at the camera like "WTF!?!?". Hilarious!
I went Bikini shopping in Oxford Circus today. I adored all the ones in my earlier post but they were all £100 and up. A little too much for scraps of material right? Anyway I found a very cute one in River Island that I'm in love with.
I think the frills add a flirty vibe and the print feels vintage. I'm very happy :) If any of you fancy one of these get the size up, the bikini pants are so tiny! They almost showed my whole bum!
There was some great stuff in River Island today... For those of you that don't already know, River Island have done a Miu Miu 'inspired' shoe... They come in both navy blue and pink. I didn't buy a pair but I've done all the research for you. They are obviously not as gorgeous and lovely as the Miu Miu ones but I think if you want a little fashion fix then for £50 they're great.
Acne Men
I attended the cocktail-show-evening for watching this season Acne men's collection,
and till now I can't stop thinking of those great sunglasses. I had a great evening with the
and colors they chose,
and about Le Chateaubriand, the food was just amazing.
Love Acne!

Lanvin Fall 2010
It seems almost logical that a campaign with Mariacarla Boscono, Magdalena Frackowiak and Anja Rubik
will be successfull and just working great, but for me this time Alber Elbaz did it so good. From the feathered
to the golden drapped dresses and some dark long gloves that remind me very much of Anna Dello Russo,
I just liked it all.
"Women ask for masculine tailoring, but they want to feel fragile. They want daywear, but buy evening. I designed a whole lot of draped things, but then it looked like too much. An overdose of fashion." - Alber Elbaz (read it via Style.com of course)

Fun Fact: This is the FIRST time I have ever worn ALL WHITE!!! AHH---I'm in shock!!! Caillianne and I went to a strict white party in Toronto! It was so cool seeing everyone dressed in all white at the party and felt like we could have been partying in Saint Tropez! We got we this Jean Paul Gaultier white shirt in 1995 and it can be worn as a dress if worn long or folded up into a shirt....it even has straps that you can pull over your shoulders for a cropped shirt look. It's such a cool design!
