Tom Ford: Designer/Director

Always on twitter - even at work.
Bad girl.

Through a tweet, I learned that Tom Ford is directing a movie called A Single Man. Uh, where have I been? It even stars Colin Firth! WTF? Apparently it's screening at TIFF.

Pretty sure it'll get a wide release, but I'm pretty bummed I didn't catch on sooner.

Confederacy

I started this post searching for a picture of the Vena Cava Sheer Text Blouse, which I purchased off Gilt.com this past Friday. (Man, technology and shopping addictions are so wicked when you can shop online via your iPhone in a moving vehicle, 2 1/2 hours from your home. Love it!) I cannot wait to get this blouse!!!

Anyway, I was searching for jpegs of the shirt when Google Images directed me to shopconfederacy.com - an L.A. based store founded by actor Danny Masterson and his stylist friend Ilaria Urbinati. What a neat little shop they have and WHO KNEW Danny Masterson has an interest in clothing. Check out the shop, it has neat labels like A.L.C., Vena Cava, Kova & T, Marc Jacobs, Modern Vintage, Phi, Earnest Sewn, Current/ Elliot, Steven Allen, Alexander Wang, Tom Ford, Rag & Bone - who apparently designs the staff uniforms each season, and many more designers. My shopping is limited right now but I wonder, do they ship to Canada?

Fall 09 Wishlist

I'm trying to keep a reasonable fall wish list by having a checklist of pieces that will enhance my existing wardrobe.

1. Navy and gray striped cardigan - purchased at Banana Republic (similar to above). Perfect for the cooler months with it's warm, soft, wool blend. Received a 25% discount at the Yorkdale location when I showed my movie ticket stub. (TIFF promo)

2. I've blogged about it before; Marc Jacobs Dreamy Pouchette. (If I'm lucky, my man will get this for my bday/ xmas, which isn't until December, but still...)

3. Alexander Wang tshirt dress. Picked up yesterday.

A must have! Can be worn a million different ways - dressed up or down, perfect for the September transition weather and adaptable to winter days when layered with a cardigan, a pair of tights and fabulous boots.

4. Michael Kors rubber engineer boots. Love, love, love. Waiting for my next paycheck.

5. Ash Suede Ono Long Cuff Boots. I could be a little delusional putting these on my list but they're so brilliant! (They remind me of the boots Andy Sachs wore in the Devil Wears Prada. This is the outfit Miranda Priestly gives Andy the approving nod, after her makeover.)

Holt's Fall Vignette

Video: HOLT RENFREW

Can you imagine being a model like Coco Rocha? You'd get to hang out with your model BFF, Behati Prinsloo, with an elevator full of suitcases that contain the latest in exciting fall fashions. You'd jump on beds and throw clothes around like you don't have a care in the world! Holt Renfrew's fall vignette is just that. This video drives me mad (probably because I'm envious). I want suitcases upon suitcases of fall fashions!

Aviator glasses and a gray blazer - so very effortless and stylin'.

L'eau de Off

Marc Jacobs' latest fragrance, Lola, launched this month. Diana and I stopped by Holts to take a whiff.

I'm not going to pretend to know what notes are what so as an amateur, Lola smells like a sweet floraly perfum. I thought it was okay. Diana was so put off by it, that she refused to even sample it on her wrists.

We walked away with two samples to see if it would grow on us. I've been using it all week and even found myself "craving" it.

Just last night I touched up my Lola in the car while my husband was driving. He made a face and looked over at me.

"What, you don't like it?" I asked.
"What is that?" he asked me, "it smells like Off or Raid."

Oh no! Unless I want to repell my man, I won't be buying Lola anytime soon.
