    IMG_0924

    Over the Rainbow and Dockers recently invited us to the exclusive launch party of the Spring/Summer 2014 Wellthread Collection. We joined the exclusive Canadian Wellthread retailer and Paul Dillinger, Head of Global Innovation Design-Dockers, for the collection launch and a private meet-and-greet with Paul and a sneak peek of the Fall/Winter 2014 Collection.

    “Well intentioned and well panned.”

    The collection includes the go-to khakis in various colours and boasts a nice selection of tees, outerwear, crew necks, button-down, and button down casual blazers; all made using sustainable  design practices. I fell IN LOVE with the lemon yellow field jacket, and I know it’s made for men, but I would totally rock it!

    Peep the collection below.

    LE CHATEAU SPRING SUMMER 2014

    The weather has been yucky these past couple of weeks but that wasn’t enough to stop us from passing by the Thompson Residences to check out the new Le Chateau Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Pretty clothes, pretty shoes, tasty wine and cupcakes, are exactly what I needed after a long, cold and rainy day.

    LE CHATEAU SPRING SUMMER 2014

    We walked into a gorgeous suite and were greeted with a cocktail before being led into the first room, which was the ladies bedroom; where some of the ladies were getting quick manis, as well as perusing the new collection in the decked out walk-in closet! Once we got the goods on the womenswear, we headed over to the men’s room to check out what was in that walk-in closet…the woman’s walk-in closet was way more fun…naturally lol

    More fun, more love, and more fashion from World MasterCard Fashion Week SS14! Day 3 and Day 5 were probably the most fun days for me this season. I enjoyed the shows (LOVED the Maison Matthew Gallagher  and Christopher Bates shows!), I literally laughed till my belly ached a few times, we were #shotbysony and of course the highlights of my day were hanging out with my blogger/fashionista peeps  new and old, during, and after the shows.

    Ernest Alexander Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation for NYFW @ernestalexander @MBfashionweek

    I’ve got a soft spot for a well-dressed man (who doesn’t?) and so I’m always interested to know what’s going on in the men’s fashion world. And since Fashion Week just kicked off, I’m treated to sneak peeks of some of the best designers out there.

    SS14 ERNEST ALEXANDER NEW YORK 9/3/2013Photo credit: Dan Lecca

    The Ernest Alexander Spring/Summer 2014 Presentation was held this week in trendy Tribeca (side note: one of my fave NYC neighborhoods) where guests got to see this very exciting collection that takes inspiration from an “American gone abroad” and revisits founder and designer Ernest Sabine’s experience living in Venice and the midsummer nights he had in his youth.

    What does the collection include? Pretty much everything you want to see your handsome honey dressed in! Tailored pieces like double-breasted blazers, suits, outerwear, plus oh-so fine linen shorts, cotton shirts and the ultimate accessory: handsomely designed briefcases that feature camouflage prints and bold colors.

    Why I love this brand? Clean designs. Covetable colors. Out-of-the-box style.

    Ernest Sabine

    Founded in 2009, Ernest Alexander is a New York City-based menswear brand known for American made accessories and men’s tailored clothing. Ernest Alexander is sold through its NYC flagship store in SoHo and online at www.ernestalexander.com.

    Event LOVE: Krane A/W13 Presentation @kranedesign

    PicsArt_1363328647482

    We attended the Krane A/W2013 Presentation last week over at Soho House, and it was fabulous! Even though the room was PACKED, it was still nice and intimate and the collection was everything. I’m usually not drawn to dark colours, but I was in love with the attention to detail in all the pieces. The coats were amazing, there was loads of leathery goodness and the sweaters with the woven leather???? Oh. My. Gawd. YES! And the bags? I need ALL the bags. Everything was AMAZING. After the presentation, I sipped on the signature cocktails and caught up with all the fashionistas in the room 🙂

    Event LOVE: @MassimoDutti Store Opening

    “The Massimo Dutti woman aims for a style that is personal, while adding touches of fashion trends set on international catwalks.”

    On Thursday night we celebrated the grand opening of Massiom Dutti in Toronto at the Eaton Centre.  This is the first-ever Massimo Dutti North American store, and let me tell you, as soon as you walk in, you instantly get this STRONG desire to shop! The clothing is fantastic of course, but I just love how the store is set up; it’s beautifully decorated, everything from the lighting and furniture to the way that the clothing is displayed. It’s just lovely in there. I got a lovely and informative tour of the store and everything Massimo Dutti from Aaron, during which I found so many pieces that MUST be mine, come rain or shine.

    Look for Aaron when you go, he knows everything about Massimo Dutti, and he’s super friendly 🙂

    Robyn and Tamika 🙂

    Beautiful and is smooth like butter baby! This is part of the men’s collections, but it should totally be mine.

    Christina rocking a cute Massimo Dutti dress 🙂

    and cute shoes to match!

    The food was AMAZING! I ate, and ate.. and ate 🙂

    The lovely miss hawley dunbar 🙂

    “…the Massimo Dutti man has had a unique personality that translates through the collections, using high quality materials and interesting combinations of textures and styles.”

    the attention to detail is EVERYTHING.

    “…the Massimo Dutti woman is a city dweller, practical, elegant, and contemporary who believes in her style and knows what she wants.”

    it was love at first sight, feel and wear.

    pretty and yummy all at the same time!

    so lovely seeing you again 🙂

    love these!

    there was food for days…

    Clean. Feels like heaven. Need.

    le cuteness 🙂

    need these scarves in my life…

    More pics coming!

    Thank you so much for inviting us, I had a lovely time, the store and the clothing (both the men’s and women’s collections) are wonderful!!
