Rei Kawakubo’s avant-garde collection for H&M was a stellar hit for the company, but if you’ve grown tired of the bland colours get ready for some sweet vengeance! A colourful universe is within our reach in the coming months, courtesy of the Swedish fashion empire, H&M, and hip London designer, Matthew Williamson.
 
Matthew Williamson is set to release a 20-piece capsule women’s range to be unveiled at 200 stores on April 23. And if you have a modish boyfriend, husband, man-friend, and brother who would die to get their hands on …

 
I’m completely in love with these things – I adore the classic Ray Ban Wayfarer, but to know that they’ve done another variation on it makes me absolutely giddy. They’re complete hotness for lack of better terminology.
 
Perfect for Spring/Summer, I first encountered these pups when perusing through the shopbop lookbook (as always, I adore the photography and styling, definitely my #1 go-to). At a measly $139.00 (US I believe. Heh), these shades are my primary covet for oh, say the next few weeks.
 
Must!

 
You know their infectious music and you know their infectious behaviour (well, at least I think I do). I absolutely ADORE the ORACULAR SPECTACULAR CD from the Brooklyn fiends.
 
I know you love it too.

Chris Brett is a fantabulous artist – I can testify because he was part of THE PEEK (yeah, remember that awesometown event in October? PS – Look out for the next). This was passed along from Chris de mindzai.com, and I’m all about promoting the Toronto Talent.
 
Year of the OX Tshirt – it comes in sizing for duders and gals. It’s on preshrunk cotton lalala-blahblah-it’s just cool. Get one on zazzle directly HERE.
 
For those who aren’t on par with the asiantown side of me, know that tomorrow is Chinese New …

 
I don’t think there’s anything that makes me happier than brands spelled out in capital letters – MINK PINK is a brand that I came across when part timing and I’ve been obsessed down to the design of their website.
 
There’s always something distinct that I look for in a brand – and it’s that earthy yet overtly stylish aesthetic that only certain labels can pull off. MINK PINK is one such label. Oh, and I can never say no to anyone that embraces the wayfarer movement – it’s just too …

 
Imagine my absolute delight when I stumbled upon Shu Uemura Tokyo Lash Bar in Holt’s. It was like “hey lover!” Even the sales lady could feel my excitement: “we have this mascara but you want the good one right? The really dramatic one”, is what she says to me.
 
Although the Shu Uemura cosmetics line carries everything from cleansers to nail polish to brushes, it is best known for its iconic eyelash curler (which is not yet a part of my collection but will soon be mine) and lashes.
 
The first Tokyo …

I’m vanishing for a day to ward off some kind of nasty cold that comes once a year and turns my voice into a man’s. But rest assured there’s a contest coming and I want you to be a part of it, as it is my last wish prior to being bed ridden for the unforeseeable future.
 
Happy contesting in t-minus 2 days!

 
I’m loving their holiday pictures – makes me want to mix it up a little more, my wardrobe is hiding out a tad and a half. Take a look at how they’re saying hello to the online community.

Just another friendly neighbourhood update – I’ve had a really busy weekend filled with snapping photos, droppin’ coin, and catching up on some necessary online presence. One of them being dose.ca – check out a new article that I have up on there (erm, can you spot grammar izzues? Please don’t).
 
Enjoy!

 
I’ve featured him before and I’m going to feature him again and again (hmm, is this foreshadowing that I see coming about?), but Justin Wu is an upcoming talent that I couldn’t showcase enough of. An Ivey student (can you believe that he’s working on his second degree and…he’s my age? Yeesh) and a keen creative eye, JWu’s looking to take 2009 to new heights as he works towards realizing his goals of becoming an esteemed fashion photographer. 7 Questions, two Scarbarians – click to read on.
