Eskimo Pie

I'm legally obligated to inform you my post is in no way related to eskimo pie. Just getting that out there. And I'm pretty sure eskimo pie was discontinued in the 90's. Any who how's it going? Good? Good.

As you may be aware, the goodness of spring is gradually approaching as we leave the month of February. And you all know what that means. It's time to bust out the big guns; winter jackets, wooly sweaters, eskimo hats, snow pants. Bring it all out. You might as well get your moneys worth of winter purchases as it is only natural to open your winter clothing container the following year to ponder upon one single thing, what was I thinking last year? It's sad but true. Them's the breaks. Let me leave you with a small lesson of the day: Cherish your clothing as if they were your children. Because before you know it they'll grow from you, then all you can really do is give them away. Your clothes. And your children? Have a wonderful tuesday.

God save the Queen

As Fall Fashion Week continues to take no breaks and make no stops, not even for remarkable fashion editors in chiefs, I'm proud to say I'm one step behind the rest of the fashion industry by just having completed London Fashion shows even though the rest are currently halfway through Milan Fashion Week. Here's why. It may be partially because I've been too busy studying though I like to say it is because i'm head over heels about London Fashion Week (LFW). Yeah I said it, I love London the best. There's generally a smaller number of shows compared to the other cities, at least twenty shows with their own theme, energy and originality. I would take quality over quantity any day. I mean come on, would anyone honestly pick All you can eat sushi over an authentic Japanese owned restaurant? I don't think so. LFW is my Japango. A place where dreams come true. It's a place where you gain a sense of propriety after eating 3 pieces of tuna belly for over $20. Much rather it's a magical place where wallets are emptied for the right reasons. Now LFW is exactly the same as Japango only you add a few more zeros to the $20 and you've just gotten yourself something magical from Simone Rocha or J.W Anderson. No difference. As I leave this rant on a joyous note enjoy my personal favourites of LONDON:

1) Richard Nicoll
The man coat not only to be worn by men. Fight the power girl!

2) Assish
Assish are one of those designers you feel instantly drawn to. I truly believe this collection was specifically designed for me and that homeless lady on College St. Oh...

3) Christopher Kane

4) Erdem

5) Osman
Where beauty meets a touch of ugly. Oh how well dance together! They call him Os"man" for a reason. It's obvious. I'm happy now.

6) Simone Rocha
Another balance between the extremes. Girly girl mixed with a touch of androgyny. It's clear this girl is torn between dressing like a proper lady and plopping on her boy clothes to go play in the park with her friends. Have you ever played soccer in a dress?? It's not fun...

7) Marios Schwab

8) Todd Lynn
The new and improved nun collars. Oh so very clever.

9) J.W Anderson
You see this. This right here. J.W Anderson is the epitome of perfection. That is all.

You know the drill. A Milan update will be given shortly sometime during Paris Fashion Week. It only makes sense that way.

Until Next time,

Didi

The Camel Toes

There are billions of shoes worn on this planet everyday. Every pair has a purpose or meaning to the occupant wearing them. They come in variety of forms; high, short, bald and hairy. This list is endless. Believe it or not there are people in this world who are fond believers of the shoe and own a roomful while others cannot see meaning to it and own a single pair. Whether you fall under one category or on the other side of the spectrum or better still you are on middle ground, there is a shoe that generally offends the entire world. I refer to them as the Camel Toes, though they are more famously known as Tabi. It's quite clear why they have inherited such a nickname or if it isn't let's just say you are lucky you've never seen one. Better still the dictionary defines "camel toe" as the forefoot of a camel. Let's just stick with that one.

The point is, the very first time I laid eyes on these beautiful creatures I knew they were meant to be with me. Now, I make it sound as if I have recently purchased the camel toe. For the record I DIDN'T. Doesn't mean a girl can't dream. As they cost as much as a few months rent, I'm sad to say we will never be together. Who said Rom-Coms were sad? This at least is real life.

So long Camel Toes.


Until next time,

Didi
