Alexander Wang FW 2011





Beautiful, ethereal and elegant forms from the VERY talented Mr Wang. He truly is the master of relaxed luxury. Personally, I'm in love with the black ribbon-esque skirt and sweater combo...

cement jewellry

I love the design of these cement pearl earrings. Based on the idea of the classic pearl stud, Metsa Design has created a unique piece that incorporates both the industrial and classical. You can check out metsa and their other designs at metsadesign.com

Falling for....

This fall is all about dark lips and leather for me.I'm channelling my inner Ashley Olsen this season, and although I can't afford her luscious Rick Owens leather Jacket, I'm thrilled to rock my new Mackage for
Aritzia kenya leather jacket. I've paired it with deep burgundy lips like this one from Chanel....and unless you are on the catwalk, be sure to keep the rest of your face minimal to balance out the dark lip for daytime. And don't forget to accessorize! A statement cuff and a great vintage clutch is all you need to complete the look this fall...

Think ladylike rocker chic....

dance photography by Tarzan Dan




My friend's Husband is an amazing photographer, and I'm always interested in dance photography since I was a professional ballerina before I became a designer. I have never seen any photos like these before and I was totally blown away. The juxtaposition between the background and the dancers is incredible, and the photos have this organic yet architectural feel about them. You can check out all of Tarzan Dan's work on his blog, TDFoto, and you can contact him here.

Erin Wasson Style




I love Erin Wasson's style. This gorgeous model/designer has such a relaxed sense of fashion, its hard not to be envious of how easy she makes it look. Her sense of style radiates from her clothes and accessories to her hip New York apartment, which you can check out here on The Selby. She has also come out with her very own jewelry line, Low Luv , and I'm in love with her knuckle armor ring and silver bone bangles.

Eclectic, effortless and cool, Erin Wasson has a style all of her own.

bangle crazy

Recently Ive discovered a jewelery line called Alex and Ani and I must admit, I am in love with these bangles. They are eco friendly and made of recycled metals, (so I'm going green while I'm accessorizing), and they are adjustable so even my tiny wrists can wear them! they have so many styles, its easy to mix and match them any way you want to. My personal favourites- the I love Rock and Roll collection. Alex and Ani are available in Canada from one of my fave places to shop in BC , Charlie and Lee. They also offer online shopping , so take a look!
