Breaking News!!!!

It’s Official:

CB2 is Scheduled to Open Spring 2011 In Toronto

Finally, after hearing the rumors over the past years and then hearing that the location was the former Big Bop on the corner of Bathurst and Queen, we now have confirmation from CB2?s website that the official opening of their first Canadian location will be Spring 2011. I can honestly say I can’t wait. I have always been a fan of Crate & Barrel, but CB2 is really where my interior decoration love lies. Here are a few of my favorite pieces that I am eagerly  awaiting for them to arrive on this side of the border!

 

Bubble Balls

 

Vapor Barstool

 

Une Homme Une Femme Vases

 

Taxi In India Pillow

 

Peekaboo Coffee Table

I love how the pieces are modern and edgy but at affordable prices, so you can also switch up your decor seasonally. I hope the prices stay similar up here in Canada.

McQueen for Your Home

Alexander McQueen and The Rug Company

Just before Alexander McQueen’s untimely death, he had designed a small capsule collection for The Rug Company. These beautiful rugs and pillows are true works of art for your home. I have posted some images below. If you are interested The Rug Company just launched Today with Avenue Road here in Toronto.

Rugs

Feathers

Hummingbird

Milirary Brocade

Skulls

Cushions

Skull Black

Skull Gold

I am definitely dreaming of the skull cushions and the feather rugs for my condo, if only I could afford the very steep price tag.

Accessories that Give Back

I am definitely one of those people that loves when a big design house or corporation produces a good or product that a portion of the proceeds goes to a given charity. Many of us give donations, but it is nice to purchase something where the portion of the money you used to pay for it goes to a specific charity. Here are a few of my favourite accessories that are giving back!

Humanity For All Leather Wrap Bracelet:

Humanity For All Leather Wrap Bracelet

These leather wrap bracelets are amazing, they come in a range of colours and a portion of the proceeds of each bracelet purchased goes to support non-profit organizations. The whole concept behind this brand is to  bring back humanity and no longer make kindness a random act. The inspiration words done in silver foil on the wrap bracelets really gives a positive message. I have bought them as gifts for many people and they have all cherished them.

Links of London Friendship Bracelet:

Links of London onexone Friendship Bracelet

Links of London has done an adult take on the friendship bracelet. This one here is done in the colour combination of ONEXONE charity group and a portion of the proceeds from every bracelet sold go to support children in need.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Tote:

Marc by Marc Jacobs Totes Exclusive To Holt Renfrew

This exclusive Marc by Marc Jacobs to Holt Renfrew tote that Marc Jacobs designed is being sold at $48 in all the Holt Renfrew locations across Canada and is available in 4 shades; black, white, blue and fuchsia. From each tote purchased a portion of the proceeds go to Marc Jacobs charity Vision Spring, a charity that helps those in undeveloped countries get glasses. The theme of the actual tote itself is inspired by an eye chart. A great purchase and an affordable way to own a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.

I’m Obsessed

Menswear

I felt I needed to give the boys a little fashion love, so I decided to do a little post of my favourite menswear pieces for fall, these are definitely what I like to see a guy in. I feel it is pretty easy for any man to put a suit on and look pretty good, though please please please remember to get it tailored to your body! But I definitely find the casual look a much harder one for many to achieve well. I am not talking about the great stylish men around in the city, these are idiot proof basics and accessories that any man can pull off and look great.

Leather Jacket:

A leather jacket is absolutely key for anyone. My favourites are more of the bomber style for a casual look like this one from Danier which is very affordable:

Leather Bomber

Hoodie:

The hoodie is definitely a bit of a younger look, but I think it looks great. I prefer the zip hoodie as I love seeing layers done right on any guy. It is an amazing casual piece. I love this cashmere one by White + Warren:

Cashmere Hoodie

T-Shirt:

“I’ve always thought of the t-shirt as the alpha and omega of the fashion alphabet.”  – Giorgio Armani. The t-shirt is an iconic classic, be it plain or a cool graphic tee, it is truly a must in anyones wardrobe. There are many different necklines to choose from as well as styles. But really no one can guy can go wrong with a classic white crew neck you can find them at all price points, my favourite is probably this one by American Apparel:

Organic Fine Jersey Short Sleeve Tee

Jeans:

“I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes.” – Yves Saint Laurent. Jeans are any wardrobe staple and again another iconic classic. Again like the tee there are many styles and brands out there, but I will always say you can’t go wrong with a great pair of dark wash straight leg Levi’s:

Relaxed Straight 559 Jean

Everyday Trainers:

My absolute favourites would be the Chuck Taylors by Converse. They have been around since the 1900?s. The Chuck Taylor is truly a style I love on everyone, be it little kids and adults. I love the classic look and yet it also still remains chic, I also love how you can make them more sophisticated like these ones that have been done in leather:

Chuck Taylor Leather Ox

Classic Aviator Sunglasses:

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I truly feel the majority of the population just looks that much sexier when they wear aviator sunglasses. I don’t know what it is, but this classic style really seems to work for just about everyone. My favourites are the classic gold frame Ray-Bans:

Large Frame Aviator

These classic styles are definite must haves in any guys wardrobe and can be tweaked and adjusted to fit their personal style, but they always look stylish. Just make sure you buy the right size…baggy but jeans are just not sexy!
