Beautiful blue on an Amsale bridesmaid.
In my last entry, I blogged about my dress obsession, and I thought I’d share some more stylish bridesmaids’ options with you today. Amsale’s bridal collection is always a highlight of New York bridal market, and her bridesmaid collection is equally on point. To the appropriate tune of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” models strutted their stuff in simply chic silhouettes in a beautiful colour palette of blues and purples. Read the rest of this entry »
Look #10
It should come as no surprise to any of you that Oscar de la Renta puts on one of the best shows in New York, and his collections are always innovative, inspiring and, simply put, flawless. The Spring 2011 collection, featuring a whopping 32 different looks, was no exception. Read the rest of this entry »
At Kenneth Pool I had a wonderful seat at the end of the runway that enabled me to see the gowns before everyone else and to watch the models as they prepared to strut down the catwalk! It was really exciting watching them adjusting their gowns and shaking off their nerves as they waited for the producer to give them their cue. Read the rest of this entry »
I’m heading to New York this week for my bi-annual sojourn to check out the latest registry goodies at the spring tableware market. I always love seeing the newest gems from the likes of Denby, Royal Doulton, Wedgwood, Portmerion, etc. This trip I’m extra-stoked because I’m staying for the first time at the historic Algonquin hotel.

First stop on my whirlwind tour of Bridal Market in New York was Romona Keveza, who was showing her Couture and Legends collections. In a gorgeous suite at the swank Palace Hotel, branches of blooming white cherry blossoms set the scene for a collection that was all about new beginnings. The Couture line, which is definitely for the fashion-forward bride, was filled with interesting shapes and details. I especially loved the one-shoulder dresses with architectural ruffles.

Yesterday The Toronto Star published a great article on Toronto’s trendiest cookie in town–the French macaron.

New York’s The Plaza is one of the world’s most amazing hotels famed for it’s history, luxury and impeccable service. It is also the famous home of to Eloise, one of the most famous little ladies in children’s literature. Six-year-old Eloise lives in the “room on the tipp-topy floor” of The Plaza with her Nanny, pug dog Weenie and her turtle Skipperdee. In December, the hotel opened the doors to the new Eloise at The Plaza Shop and it’s absolutely darling. When I saw the pictures I just had to share them—do you not just want to live there?! If you’re heading to NYC plan a stop at the shop to soak in it’s whimsy. Better yet…why not have a luxe urban honeymoon at The Plaza and live like Eloise herself. Personally, I love that idea.

How cute is this Eloise shop?!
