Welcome, Alice. Swarovski’s done a capsule collection to trot along with the release of the new Alice in Wonderland movie by Disney. Capturing the spirit of A.I.W, the line is representative of the movie through its vintage and gothic tones. Sifting through oh so many pieces and much marveling later, I watched the official trailer again on small-screen (aka laptop) and it only reaffirmed that Swarovski has done a stellar job capturing the sentiment in the collection. My favourite? The Round Hall Key from the White Rabbit selection ($130.00). I’ve …

 
My loves Dragonette is going to be on tour with Little Boots and Fan Death. While Fan Death isn’t as familiar as the other names to me, I’m all to certain that this is going to be a blast of a tour (they’re slated to come to Toronto on April 30th – anyone down?)
 
As if that wasn’t enough to get overexcited when opening my email, I’ve been provided with an amazing remix of Pick Up The Phone by Arithmatix! (I know, there have been way many of them). But trust, …

Pretty sure this is exciting – SATC is back to the silver screen again, and the fact that they open the trailer with Jay-Z’s Empire State of Mind makes it buzzworthy already. Looking forward to seeing Sex and the City 2 – makes you want to go running off to NYC and become a writer of sorts. Cheers!

 
Spotted in the Aritzia Holiday Gift Guide – Wilfred Crepe Satin Blazer (owned). The retailer has put together a pretty cool and eclectic holiday display bursting with their product, primed for some high retail turnover action. Have a look here for some preliminary ideas, before you hit the shops.

“Jimmy Choo shoes are like crack for women” – Will Lam
 
Summed up just about right – Lenmeister asked me why I didn’t post about the capsule collection that Jimmy Choo did for H&M (released November 14th), and it’s basically because I don’t condone sleeping on the streets for a pair of shoes. That and the collection looked like a bit of painful patent and wasn’t particularly covet worthy on my end. Though admittedly, I did end up accidentally picking up the Jimmy Choo Jumpsuit (I tweeted romper – wild slip …

 
I was loitering outside the LG Fashion Week tent, waiting for Miss Karizza and catching up with Mr. Trung Hoang of CONTRA Mag (who just released an anniversary issue – pretty bomb), when Jonathan Loek asked to snap a photo of me. Being the ever confident person I am (sarcasm – I’m a nerd), I thought not to fix myself up proper for this snap (whoops! Dampered day I suppose). Blackberry in hand and flat hair complete, I requested not to look short (for those of you who know me…that …

 
I have to admit, I’m a bit jealous that it’s not 1984 and time for me to get my first Barbie, but on a brighter note, Christmas shopping just got a whole lot easier!
 
Toy giant Mattel, recently introduced the So In Style Barbie doll, and I am genuinely very happy about this. Why? Because the dolls are black! Not only are they black, but they have black features, like a wider nose, and fuller lips, and are not just painted versions of existing Barbie dolls, like the original black Barbies …

 
I was passed this by Jadyn Maria’s PR company, it’s Jadyn Maria featuring Flo Rida, the track titled “Good Girls Like Bad Boys”. I have to say that this video severely confuses me. It’s got bits of concept from Our Lady Peace’s latest video, plus an element of animal (like Fall Out Boy), and seems to be surrounding the idea of Little Red Riding Hood. At some points, I’m almost fully convinced that it’s a toothpaste ad. Not long after, she starts dancing with a crowd of men wearing wolf …

 
Evian’s always making waves (haha to that oh-so-witty pun) teaming up with Jean-Paul Gaultier for these limited edition bottles. It’s a stunning glass silhouette with crystals etched into it. I snagged two of these bad boys up as a welcome present to the Jet Cooper boys for their offices (more on that soon – I’m absolutely ecstatic about this upcoming mini-projecto).
 
Where’d I get them? Strangely enough, at Metro near where the fabulous Wynne Leung lives, and they were even on sale. Get them while you can – they’re not around …

 
A lot of social media and blog love as of lately – however, coming from Holt Renfrew is quite a surprise. The retailer is set to showcase windows inspired by famous bloggers, without their inputs (eeps). I call PR stunt.

 
Something to aspire to? I think so. I’m seeing more and more bloggers being featured by retailers, asking for their editorial input, and overall having a freaking awesome time. Hi, if anyone owns a store and is reading this, please like me. Just a little? <3
