Launching today! Sophia Webster for J. Crew

Today is the day J. Crew launches their collaboration with British footwear designer Sophia Webster.

The 13 piece shoe collection is bright, cheerful, and I haven’t seen one pair that I wouldn’t love to have!

The shoe collection was designed to highlight the colour and patterns found in the J.Crew S/S ‘14 Women’s Collection.

“Sophia Webster is one of the most exciting and talented British designers. Her shoes are like miniature sets – a beautiful world for your feet to spend the day in,” says Jenna Lyons, President and Executive Creative Director of J.Crew. “Each shoe tells a unique story.”

Items in the collection range in price from $320 to $695.

Check out the collection in stores, and to see more from J.Crew check out www.jcrew.com.

Studs!

Accessories are my jam. I think I actually have more scarves, shoes, and jewelry than clothes. It seems like buying just one necklace or a pair of earrings is insignificant and harmless as opposed to buying a jacket, but really it adds up. Especially when you do it a lot! Right now I’m really into stud earrings. Mostly because I cleaned out my circa-2006 chandelier earring collection recently, and now I have a giant hole in my jewelry box which needs to be filed. Here are a few fun ones for spring/summer!

AKID Brand

I’m always on the lookout for awesome clothes and shoes for my son. I get really excited when I find something fashionable and functional for him as well. Usually the on-trend kids stuff tends to be uncomfortable or easily destroyed.

AKID is a unisex brand of shoes made specifically for children aged 2-8. The best part – they are über stylish. AKID shoes are sold through their online boutique which is easily shopable. Trust me on this because after doing some browsing on the site I’ve decided my son NEEDS a pair of the Atticus Boots in Zebra. They have many photos of each product at different angles so you know what you are buying.

AKID uses super soft leathers so their shoes may be worn sock-free, and their shoes have zippers on the side so you can easily get them on and off. Laces are my worst enemy when it comes to kids shoes! Who has time to tie or un-tie laces?!

Keep an eye out on their Facebook page here for information on new designs coming soon. I’ve added a few photos of my favourite shoes below as well. Check out www.akidbrand.com for more information!

A Coachella Inspired Summer Wardrobe

I was forced to take it easy this weekend because I had LASIK surgery on Thursday. That meant I couldn’t do anything very exciting this weekend, so I spent most of it online shopping. Probably not the smartest thing to do when you are supposed to rest your eyes, but I couldn’t spend a lot of time outside so this is what I was left with.

So pretty much everyone was doing something more exciting than me over the last few days, especially those people at Coachella this weekend. Seeing all of the photos inspired some of my summer wardrobe purchases. A few of my favourite picks are below!

Alexander Wang x H&M Collaboration

H&M’s latest collaboration has been announced!

At Coachella this weekend H&M announced that their next designer collaboration will be with Alexander Wang. On November 6th, 2014 the Alexander Wang x H&M Collection will be in 250 stores worldwide and online.

The collection will feature both apparel and accessories for men and women, and it’s actually the first time am American designer teams up with H&M for a collaboration.

It feels like November 6th is very far away! A collaboration is always exciting from H&M, but I feel like its going to be a long time before it gets here!
