The last month or so has been completely chaotic for me, so I'd taken a short hiatus and taken some time off... however, I'm back! I've got a lot in store this year and can't wait for you all to follow along.
This isn't going to be a long post, but just a Happy New Year and letting everyone know I'm alive and lusting for more inspiration all the time.
Briefly, a few things I'm lusting over right now;
After flipping through the Winter 2011 FASHION Magazine and coming across an article featuring one of my favorite local designers and teachers, Carlie Wong, I became obsessed with her Fall '10 collection. Inspired by The King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. The collection is a great balance of over-the-top and sleek and chic.
These are only a few of my favorites from Carlies Fall '10 Collection but, you can see the entire collection @ carliewong.com.
The Harper's Bazaar 'Your Guide to Personal Style'. I received this for Christmas and haven't finished it yet, but it's definitely a major lust of mine. I love the individual sketches from the designers and how they each envision and interpret 'style'. The Little Gold Book is a must have for every fashion lover.
While I was at home (Kenora, Ontario - Lake of the Woods) for the holidays I got to spend some quality time at one of my favorite places there The Keric Funk Salon & Spa. While there I had a facial customized for me by the fabulous Claudine from Yon Ka and haven't been more satisfied. I'm looking for a Spa that does Yon Ka facials here in Vancouver, but I really suggest this company - making it another thing I am seriously lusting over right now.
And like the rest of us, I'm obsessed with the Royal engagement and the 29 potential dresses drawn up for future 'Princess Kate' and will be talking about this a lot lately.
I've got a few fabulous events I will be attending, and I've finally gotten myself a real camera... although being so scatterbrained and all I forgot it at home so I'm waiting for my mom to mail it out so I can resume daily outfit posts.
