Vera Wang's Revealing Bridal Collection

Quote of the Day: “Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.” 

                                                                                                                                                       ― Coco Chanel
Song of the Day:Get Lucky- Daughter Cover (Shadow Child Remix)

Every girl dreams of a fairy tale wedding, with a shining-armor of a husband and a little pooch named Ferdinand. But have you ever dreamed of yourself walking down the isle in a cropped top and a long skirt?

Vera Wang has just released a video of her new Spring 2015 Bridal Collection and it's racy to say the least. Fashion always evolves as I state in almost every post but to what point will you go to remain trend savvy? Would you bare-your midriff to remain on top of your A-game? You wanna know my answer...YES YES YES! I'm the kind of girl that doesn't play by the book and my grandma always says "traditions are for those who can't take risk."

These are just some of the looks that really caught my eye:

ASAP54: Your Personal Fashion Finder

Quote of the Day: “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”

In the past, I've made a post about apps that would really come in handy for fellow beauty, lifestyle and fashion bloggers. But have you heard of ASAP54?

MTV Movie Awards

Quote of the Day: "Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world."                                                                      — Marilyn Monroe

Song of the Day: Easy- Son Lux


Most people call it the bootleg Oscars, others may say it is the voice of the youth amiss all the seniority in Hollywood, I call it a fashion palooza. It's a time where we can get rid of all the oldies and bring in people that weren't born right after dust. Our eyes can finally look at something other than wrinkles and failed botox injections. We can finally laugh at actual jokes and not look around to see if it was impolite to do so. Now, I know everybody may have their own opinion on who looked best or what looked best at the MTV Awards last Sunday but you don't come here for your own opinion you come here for mine...just kidding.

I absolutely love this! Two-piece sets are really making a hit this season because who said it wasn't classy to show a little bit of skin?

Shopcade: Your Personal Shopping App

Quote of the Day: "Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity."                                                      — Coco Chanel

Tired of millions of tabs at the top of your screen as you scout for the latest trends and sales? Tired of having to bookmark almost every online store so you won't forget the outfit. If only there was a site that had all that in one place.

Shopcade is a trendy, personal shopping app that allows you to be able to see the newest of trends all on one screen. The unique thing about this website is that it's not only directed towards one style or range, it's geared towards everyone. Shopcade ranges from stylish jewelry to home and leisure items. Think of it as your all-in-one personal style organizer. You are able to share and create lists while being informed on the hottest exclusive sales for your beloved items. If your not already a member I'd think you were a sadist.

Now enough about my insane fan-girling over this fashion friendly site. What I really want to talk about is this Gold Arrow Necklace Set by Love Thy Accessories, that comes with both earrings and necklace.

Alexander Wang for H&M

Quote of the Day: "I'm not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it's on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context"

                      - Alexander Wang 

                                                                 
Song of the Day: Buzzcut Season- Lorde

H and M has never been strangers to top designer collaborations from their first partnership in 2004 (Karl Lagerfeld) to their most recent release-2013 Isabel Marant. Now they have introduced yet another top ranking name in their folder of iconic collabs. Do the names Alexander and Wang ring a bell?

On April 12th, Alexander Wang finally announced his collaboration with H and M on Instagram (link) - after months of circulating rumors. I would be lying if I said I wasn't extremely excited about this launch which will be in stores November 8th of this year. Alexander Wang, creative director of Balenciaga, has always been a risk taking, edgy, crowd-pleasing designer. This will go perfectly with H and M's varying styles from grunge to prep.

Over the past years the Swedish owned company (H&M) has shown us different sides of them and by that I mean their fashion evolves each year and they reflect that by the designer they choose to collaborate with. But by far my favorite H and M collab is the Versace 2011 collection. It embodied everything futuristic, glam and edgy of 2011 at an affordable price.

 





See you on November 8th, I'll probably be the one throttling the old lady for the last in-stock Alexander Wang dress,

Street Steeze

Quote of the Day

 "Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live."                                                                                            — Gianni Versace

Song of the Day: Magic-Coldplay

Inspiration. One of the most important concepts in fashion. We design to inspire and we style to inspire. Without inspiration we wouldn't have the creativity to power the universe. Okay cut this is getting way too Ghandi for me. But my message is still the same fashion originated from the streets. Designers like Karl Legerfield and Betsy Johnson would not be where they are today without being inspired by the people around them. This is the beginning of my Street Steeze segment.

Oscars 2014 Worst to Best Dressed

Quote of the Day: “So soon as a fashion is Universal, it is out of date.”  

                                                                                            -Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

Song of the Day: Calvin Harris - Summer

Here's to my fifth favorite day of the year-right after Toonie Tuesday at KFC and before National Skip Day- Le Oscars.

I really don't know what to say to this. It's offensive really. Wrapping your daughter's basement curtains on top of your button down shirt is not appropriate no matter how late you are to this event. It's the Oscar's my friend. Julia Roberts tried it last time, it didn't really work please don't try it again. And that long pearl necklace-that resembles one of a kitchen tassel-needs to be burned immediately. No wonder we only see your upper half on The View. 

Word of Advice : fire your stylist...NOW

 Quote of the Day: "I like being a woman, even in a man’s world. After all, men can’t wear dresses, but we can wear the pants."

                                                                      — Whitney Houston

Song of the Day: Calvin Harris ft. Kelis- Bounce 

Ciao, Gütentag, Bonjour, Hello…that's about all I know. This is me trying to look extremely cultured and failing. It's not like I totally just copy pasted this from Google Translations.

I would like to introduce a new segment on my blog called Steeze Steelz. It will be every month and will show you the best fashion finds I managed to snag at that time. Also, It‘ll tell you how you can pair them to make yourself look fashionable or at least not fashion challenged.

Anywho, this weekend I finally got to go shopping. My parents feel its unnecessary to "spend" money on clothes every month resulting in my virtually nonexistent fashion friendly closet. Thanks to having a big sister-that can make even the most hideous of corduroy pants look like something off the shelves of Saks Fifth- I don't look like a social leper when walking outside to face the day. 

My mom thought it was finally time to treat me after all these years of wardrobe abuse. So she gave me the Holy Grail of all shopping, the root of life or the politically correct term le credit card. I know, I know your probably thinking Who is this bad-ass and how can I be just like her? And it's fine really I'm totally flattered. 

My Infinite Playlist

Quote of the Day: "Fashions fade, style is eternal."

                                                               — Yves Saint-Laurent

Song of The Day : Mount Kimbie- Made to Stray 

If you haven't already heard I'm a fan of music. No that's incorrect I'm a junkie maybe even an addict. I can sincerely say I may love music more than I love fashion...okay that may be pushing it. Music is with me from the morning to the night and never really gets a break in between. I grew up with music and I'll probably die with headphones in my ear. I've taken it upon myself to graze you with my awesome musical taste. I personally feel that nobodies life is complete without sampling Jessica's Infinite Playlist-which is moi! So join me...if you dare.

I know, you may be expecting me to drone on about the ultimate hipster bands which ranges from The Beatles to The Rolling Stones. Pardon my language but I think that they're all crap. Nothing about The Beatles  or The Rolling Stones is remotely intriguing and you can quote me on it. Many of you may be outraged but it's the truth. I personally feel that those bands are what we like to call The Bandwagoners. 

The Bandwagoners- those bands that you like not because you knew them from day one, or because you just like they're music no, it's because society thinks there cool and all your friends feel there cool so you take it upon yourself to forcibly like them and listen to them. Some of them include: The Ramones, Lorde, Foster The People, The Neighborhood, Calvin Harris, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz, A$AP Rocky etc.

New York Fashion Week

Qoute of the Day: "I think there is beauty in everything. What ‘normal’ people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it."

                                                                                  — Alexander McQueen

Song of the Day: RadioHead- Lotus Flower (Jaques Greene Remix)

There comes a time in one's life where everything social media needs to be shut off. A time where celebrities get front row seats to the hottest of shows. A time where over-credited socialites like Kendall Jenner are rubbing shoulders with fashion royalty like Anne Wintour. This time is Fashion Week.

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while but I couldn't bare to see all the Instagram photos or stupid tweets of how awesome people with equally as awesome lives were living it up this past week while I stayed at home with a smashed iPhone screen and an abundant amount of English homework. I'll tell you this before I start, every time fashion weeks comes around I tend to coincidentally disappear off the face off the earth and drown my sorrows in cheap Chapman's ice cream. So next time I go Caspar you'll know why.

There are four major fashion weeks and for some reason Toronto thinks their part of that fantastic four which is laughable to say the least. NYC, Milan, London and Paris come together twice a year to tell us what's in and what's out. They show us the newest trends of the season so we don't commit fashion suicide when frolicking the streets of our hometown, and for that we are extremely grateful. With 256 shows in about the time span of a month it's no wonder Fashion Week is one of the most popular events in the world. But sadly it is near impossible to see all these shows at once with all the intertwining schedules. It's a dog eat dog world, what can I say? 

Now, I'm sure there were many awesome and wonderful collections strutting down the Mercedes Benz catwalk but naming all of them would be a bore. So I'm going to stick with all the highlights of last week.

GRAMMY'S Best and Worst Dressed 2014

                                                                

Quote of the Day: "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak," 

                                                                                        -Rachel Zoe

Song of the Day: When A Fire Starts To Burn-Disclosure 

L A T E S T   B U Z Z 

Grammy's are the mother of all events and their sole purpose is to provide us irrelevant norms an inside look on how awesome it is to be a celebrity. With all the gorgeous dresses adorning their million dollar torsos, no wonder we all crave the lifestyle. 

But wherever there's a will, there's a way to get back at the celebs. And that's way is the Red Carpet. We've seen some Do's and Don'ts over the years. But this year has to take the cake. I know they say New Year, New Me but sometimes changing your stylist is not the best idea. 

Pharrell Williams

Wearing a Vivian Westwood hat and a red leather Adidas sweater he totally owns it. Pharrell basically produced half of the songs at the Grammy's so he has earned the right to dress outrageously. Only him. It takes someone with great confidence to pull off this Lone Ranger hat and he was just the guy.

Oscar Nomination 2014

Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me…Oh yeah It's my birthday. I6th to be exact. The big one six, champagne birthday, you get it. Sadly this year there won't be a grande bonne fêté because of my first semester exams and which makes partying at the bottom of my to-do list. Needless to say my lovely friends made it their mission to make me feel oh so special today and it paid off.

But enough with the miscellaneous things. I'm gonna get right in it. I present to you (Drum Role Please)…The 2014 Oscar Nominees. They obviously announced it today because of my birthday so in turn I feel obligated to announce the nominees for each category to you.
