Fall Campaigns
So far I am in love with H&M's Fall 2009 ads. The styling is amazing, and the girl is gorgeous.
Not to mention that man's glorious beard!

Thinking of Fall...
It's that time again.
For me, actually, it's been 'that time' for the last month. Autumn will be upon us shortly, and with the startling metamorphosis of green to orange and red, comes the fall fashions!
Knits, tartans and leather. All of my favourite things rolled in to one delicious season. Beyond the rack of sweaters, and kilts however, is the one thing I love most of all.
BOOTS.
Yes! BOOTS! The best part of footwear!
Again this year I'm hunting for the biggest and best pair of boots around. I have my Sam Edelmen fringed thigh-highs from last year, along with my Town Shoe over-knee riding boots, (along with 10 other pairs ranging from ankle and onward...) but I'm still on a quest for the best high-leg grazers around.
In the September issue of FASHION magazine I found them. Jeffrey Campbell thigh-highs from Browns Shoes for $298!! Sold! They're decked out in multiple straps cascading to a row of bronze studs, and a 3" heel. Practical-- yet everything I ever wanted in a boot.
I kid you not, when I couldn't find them on the Browns website, I actually contacted Browns to find out when they'd be available. A quick 20 minutes later, Patrick of Customer Service tells me I only have but a short wait of 1-2 weeks until they'll be on the site. Apparently they're already in stores, but my local B2 Bay locations don't have them. :\
I was hoping to try them on before ordering, since my calves are my curse, but I guess I'll have to suffer through trying them on at home. Surprisingly I have no difficulty with the fit of thigh-high's on my actual thighs (gasp!), it's my damn calves that ruin everything. Most boots are made with a 13"-15" calf circumference, and I need 16"! It's not impossible for me to find boots, but my stupid legs do make it harder. As if 1" makes that much of a difference! Grr.
Ahhh I want these JC boots to fit so bad!
I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Pre-Fall and Fall 2009
Just some of my favourites so far.
Can't you picture Dita Von Teese in this Oscar de la Renta number? I love it.
Badgley Mischka
The next few are all Christian Dior. My top 5 from his Pre-Fall 2009. I love this colour palette in this. The very 70's-esque green frock with the brown fur-- ahhh! (No comment on the authenticity of the fur...)
The fabric looks so luxurious! I can see Katy Perry wearing this. Ugh it's so awesome.
I <3 structural leather.
I know leopard print is so over-used... but I still love to see it. That's my confession for the day. This coat is pure elegance.
I'm posting a crap-load of coats, but this just had to be on the top 5 list. Just look at it!
Well not that I've professed my love for CD... :D
