The word has been spread and the talk has not been stopped. Lanvin and H&M are both collaborating together.



Fashion show - Lanvin for H&M


I have to admit that I am mildly impressed with the collection - that is probably because I was expecting more than anticipated. The collaboration with H&M from last year was Jimmy Choo's - there was definitely more hype than this year's collab. Despite of all that, I cannot wait until these garments hit store so I can get my hands on that yellow ruffle dress that I've been eying on for quite some time now.

Launch date: November 20th 2010

To purchase Lanvin for H&M garments, they are sold exclusively only at these three locations in Toronto:
1. Toronto Eaton Center
2.15 Bloor Street West
3.Yorkdale Mall

For other information, inquiries or store locations, visit www.hm.com

Be quick because I am definite sure that these items will be sold out in a heart beat.
(...and don't call my store asking if we have it. Just kidding. Kinda.)

McQueen lives on

Now playing: ♫ A Little Nothing - Secret sayings



Alexander McQueen, F/W 2010 looks.


McQueen, Something I cannot afford under my own pocket but it's so nice just to look at them... through the computer moniter. Knowing that I can't effort buy them? What a slap in the face.

Aside from that, I apologize sincerely to all my friends and readers that I have not consistently updated my blog just because I've been bombarded with school and exams coming up it's been a tad crazy. Life as a student. I have been mainly hiding away at school, work and starbucks only to force myself to study in coffee shops. On top of that, I have not been shopping all that much the past two weeks and I am in desperate need of winter clothing. But I am hoping to get back on track and keep you all posted! Enjoy the rest of the weekend lovelies!

Induced euphoria

Temperature in Toronto is gradually dropping lower and lower as we are approaching into Autumn as the days end earlier. But I must say, Fall has got to be my favourite season out of the four . The scenery of the leaves falling off the trees with the colour scheme of yellow, red and copper. Picture perfect.

I finally had the nerve to tuck away my summer clothes earlier this week. I'm going to miss the ease of throwing on a pair of shorts with a shirt and still look effortlessly chic. Final good-bye. But it is bittersweet. On the other hand, I am still looking forward to invest in some more knits, trench/wool coat, cardigans and laced up boots. Hence, I need to shop ASAP.

It's been two weeks since school started and my schedule was altered not once but three times. It's weird that I packed my lunch to school today. I feel like in grade eight all over again. Monday + 8:00am classes don't mix. Gotta double up doses of Starbucks - plus extra shot of espresso.

This weekend I am so excited not to work (except for Sunday... which in my books is a "no work day" but...) and instead I'm making my way to Hamilton to McMaster to visit a girlfriend and a few others. Hello social life again.

Dawn throttles down

Now playing: ♫ Velour - The way she said

I am finally back!


I've been on hiatusfrom my blog for quite some time now... I would say two months now? I've been so caught up with my own life that I slowly neglected my blog. But it's safe to say that I am back and nothing is stopping me from blogging (... maybe school). As promised, I said I would post some pictures from my L.A trip which by the way, it was AMAZING. I loved every second I was there. My trip there consists of: Roaming around downtown L.A, Sun tanning at Manhattan Beach, Shopping along Santa Monica, Visiting Beverly Hills/Rodeo Drive/Melrose, Electric Daisy Carnival and Hollywood. I must say, I am definitely going back for seconds next year.



During the months of July & August, I've been working, hanging out and soaking up the sun while it was still hot. In all honesty, this summer I was expecting it to be better than last year. But I am not complaining. Now that the cold weather is gradually approaching - I am super excited for fall fashion. I miss layering, heavy knits, boots and all those good stuff. Summer, I'm over you. Now that we hit the month of September. School is starting all over again. As for me, I am starting tomorrow (in a few hours). Maybe it's a bad idea to blog at 2:53am. Regardless, I am so happy (actually) to be back in school. I'm ready to tackle those endless nights of studying.

As a final note before I head to bed: I'm so glad to be blogging again and best of luck everyone that's starting school today!!

Back to Eastcoast

Now playing: ♫ Nothing



This is a really quick post just to let everyone know that I'm still here and I do check my blog on a daily basis but I've been extremely busy and... lazy to post up my pictures and the details about my L.A trip but I promise I'll try to get it posted by this weekend. Otherwise - I miss sleeping on the beach while getting a nice tan, haha. Caaaaaaaaaaliforniaaaaa guuuurls.
