Shoes with a little sparkle for your sassy girl. We think these Pink Diamond Newborn Shoes from Luca Bleu are fabulously trendy. How adorable would your little girl be in these?!?!?What I Wore Today
Actually, I'm cheating. I wasn't wearing heels. I was wearing flat black leather boots. There is no way that I'm maneuvering my way around campus in heels, but they just make the outfit look so much edgier.

BC Fashion Week: Nicole Bridger
Last Thursday and Friday I attended my first fashion shows at BC Fashion Week. In particular, I went to see the GenNext show, Nicole Bridger and Lara Presber.
My favourite of the week was by far Nicole's collection. It was soft, pretty and very wearable. As Vancouver shows often go, nothing is very standout or avante-garde. No matter, what makes these shows special is the fact that they're making use of sustainable and organically grown materials such as bamboo and cotton. The loose silhouette is still very now and I can see these pieces worn with just about anything. They're very versatile, like the A.P.C. of the west coast. The leather belts are a nice touch (they sort of remind me of BCBG), and apparently Nicole was slaving away at them just the night before. I really appreciate her knack for keeping things simple and fresh. All of the models looked beautiful with flushed cheeks and soft hair. It's making me want to try out tawny peach blush for the first time in my life. Oh, in case you were wondering, the shoes are Fluevogs.

Time-Out Missy
This adorable time-out animal will help your child transition through the rough two or three minutes of being in Time-Out. They have a bear, a lamb, a frog, and this adorable little puppy. If you're not a fan of time-outs you can also use these adorable little buddies for time-up (we didn't know what this was either), but it's setting the timer for activities such as cleaning up the playroom, etc. It could even be used in a school classroom for keeping track of when to switch centers at center time.

Lie Sang Bong
I haven't even processed my own BC Fashion Week photos or finished looking through everything on the Milan runways and Paris has arrived already! Well, one mustn't ever fall behind Paris. For example, I might have missed the Lie Sang Bong ss 09 show, which blew me away with it's dreamy graphic look. Usually architectural collections have a very hard edge (Gareth Pugh ss09!) but these looks still retain an airiness that is very appealing.

Milan Favourites
Warning! This is a very image intensive post. I couldn't help myself.
My two favourite Milan collections had a very similar vibe. Marni never fails to make me salivate over its many colors, prints, textures, neck pieces, shoes and various other nicknacks that make Marni one of the standout collections of every season. Sarah Mower of style.com notes that this collection is "a cherry picker's bonanza full of pieces that lend themselves to myriad personal styles." Every fashion week I see stylish women wearing Marni in so many different ways. It's a little nutty but so workable. As for me, the beautiful neck pieces this season make me crave big statement pieces even more. It's too bad that nothing within my price range is big or bold enough.

My second favourite collection has officially transformed me into a Jonathan Saunders fangirl. Yep. I loved everything, head to toe, models to runway. And that's pretty rare for me. I'm always nitpicking over something or other. The biggest plus of all is that this would be something that my grandmother could easily whip up. All I have to do is find the right fabric combinations. I can't wait until my seamstress arrives from Romania! She's actually coming tonight! My boyfriend jokes that I'll be running my own personal grandma sweatshop downstairs. Not to worry! She's very well loved here.
