SHOPPING // 3.1 PHILLIP LIM FOR TARGET

So, I was pretty stoked to hear the news that Phillip Lim was collaborating with Target a few months back.
And now, just a month before it hits store - they've released the look book.
I may say this way too often but I want it all.
Phillip Lim has kept his signature minimalism designs and even re-created some of his well-known items.
Probably the reason why I just love this collection.
I cannot wait to get my hands on his signature Pashli bag! Epps!
I'm so happy that it's coming to the Canadian stores. And let the countdown begin...
Let's go! I'll see you on September 15!

BRANDS // CRYWOLF

I'm always looking for unique brands that have a different personality.
Marching to their own tune and combine that with silk screening. And I'm sold. 
As I was perusing through my Instagram the other day - one photo caught my eye.
Coal Miner's Daughter had three tanks hanging on a clothing line. 
And I was mesmerized.
Photo: You can never have too many @crywolfclothing tanks. Get them at our #QueenWest shop or on our @Shopcaster shop online!
And I just wanted to know more about the brand.
Crywolf is the brainchild of Stephanie Drabik & Rose Chang.
 In short, the Crywolf vision is a mishmash of their strange, fantastic, quirky and whimsical ideas. 
The main concept behind Crywolf is producing limited edition, collectable, wearable and affordable 
pieces of art. All of their designs are based on their drawings which they often collaborate on 
and their clothing is hand-printed by them.
I'm always up for supporting local artists especially when their work is awesome!
Putting my order for the wolf sweatshirt! I'm just mesmerized by this illustration.

DAILY OBSESSIONS // INTO THE FALL WITH ZARA

Zara just continues to surprise me every season.
And this might be one of their best Fall season yet.
** On a random thought, I also love their small changes to their website **
Currently, coveting the following items

SHOPPING // MEET MY NEW BABY

My friends say I'm more than a shopaholic.
Today, I finally realized why.
It's marking the end of the sale season - so everything is getting slashed from left to right.
And the shopaholic in me can't help but be tempted.
It all started on that faithful day when I decided to drop by TNT Uptown. 
It will mark the day of doom. Why?
I tried on a pair of the most amazing Alexander Wang booties.
And I knew I was doomed. 

Meet my newest baby! :)


Happy Weekend!
