Crushn'

I have a major crush on these outfits from UK retailer ASOS. Problem is, as I am the avid ebayer, I have been lately forced to cut down on all the international purchases due to those dreaded customs fees!! Sometimes they cost more than the merchandise itself. Why oh why can't all of the UK retailers like TOPSHOP and ASOS open up locations in Toronto, please? oh well I may just have to forego reason and order some of these looks anyway.
P.S. I heard a good while ago that TOPSHOP was supposed to come to Holt Renfrew, does anyone out there know if this has happened yet?

Circus freak

Came across these amazing circus inspired pictures featured in Vogue Italia with model Karen Elson. I have such an affinity for nostalgia and growing up I always remember going to the circus when it came to town. These stunning pictures capture the vivid and bright child-like essence of that time when we were just kids and in awe of the Greatest Show on Earth.

A twisted mind...

Only from the morbid mind of director/filmmaker Tim Burton could we get such a stunningly visual pictorial. In this month's Harper's Bazaar the director morphs into stylist to reinterpret the latest fall trends from the runways. In true melancholic form he brings his quirky macabre eye to recreate the dark looks of the season and renew a few of his iconic movie characters looks. I wish I could afford any number of these twisted numbers for Halloween, alas a $ 3, 894 Louis Vuitton dress is just not in my price range! I wonder if my local costume shop still has the Edward Scissorhands ensemble available?
