Liberty

I'm off to London tomorrow! I cannn't wait to check out The Liberty Store. Here are some Liberty prints to get me in the spirit. The Bicycle is so awesome, but sold out!

Fanfarlo - Harold T Wilkins

The fact that this song woke me up this morning and I didn't even get mad at it just goes to show how much I like it. I proceeded to play it on repeat on the way to work.

OK GO - Rube Goldberg

They've done it again with an awesome video and this time its Rube Goldberg styles:

Drip drip drop

This, I want!

Listen! King Charles

Listen! Fool's Gold

I went to their show, when they were opening for Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. It was such a lively, energetic show, and at the end they jumped into the audience with their instruments and danced around. So much fun!

Celine Fall 2010

I'm so glad that Pheobe Philo is designing again, and she's already managed to
bring the whole Celine brand from drab to effortlessly cool. She's my favourite
designer (along side Philly Lim),and although I'm sad her days at Chloe are
over, I'm really glad to see what she's brought to Celine. I posted some close
up detailed shots from Jak and Jil, because the mastery of her work is all
in the details.













some beautiful music:

Stella McCartney Fall 2010

Stellaaaa! Minimalism at its greatest. That is all.








song:

Balenciaga Fall 2010

I love the colour palette of this collection and specifically they way in which
the colours are used together. It takes away from any hard edges of the
futuristic looks.












and a bright little song to go with the collection:

Erdem Fall 2010

Erdem, my friend! Ok, he's not really my friend, but my friend Laura did
work for him in London and said he's a really nice guy so I'm sure we'd get along.
He also did his undergrad at Ryerson, where I went too, and he came back and
spoke to us a couple years ago. He's a great example of a down to earth designer
who loves the craft and who has definitely found his point of view. His prints
keep getting better season after season

and a song from my favourite, Patrick Watson:

Erin Featherson Fall 2010

With her muse for the collection being Nico, Erin Featherson created 70s rock
chick looks that were as breezy as they were hip. I always tend to look to the
70s for inspiration so this collection scored big points with me. I'm awaiting
the return of dramatic bell bottoms, i feel that it's coming soon....






and here's an appropriate song for all you long haired children out there:

Adam Fall 2010

Adam - I'm into the chunky sweater with the long flowy skirt, a sophisticated
"nouveau-grunge" peut-etre? and you know how I feel about grunge....
and I think the skirt at the bottom is just genius in an understated kind of way.
Well done Adam...Well done.
