Spring Daydream

Spring Summer 2011 - The Campaign from Mulberry on Vimeo.

I love everything about this video! I am definitely daydreaming of Spring despite the snowflakes falling on Montreal today.

The video was created by Framestone, who worked on such films as Avatar and Harry Potter to create arty animation. For more details, read here.

The Mulberry campaign is my favorite this spring, the styling, colors and accessories are simply divine. And let's not forget the sweet piglet...

Happy Spring!!!

It's official, Spring is here! So happy to finally see warmer weather, more sunshine and bright colors appear. I don't know about you, but I found winter to be looooong this year.  I'm loving all the bold colors that are popping up everywhere, especially on the runway and in magazines. I'm particularly fond of red and I have a hat just like the one pictured above that I had picked up at Target two years ago. Time to bring it out!

What better way to start the new season than with a surfing video that involves Chanel surfboards, yeah!

Swooning over the details

I'm still swooning over all the carefully put together outfits I observed during Fashion Week and am looking forward to introducing some of the little details into my own wardrobe, especially the pink bobby socks!

Happy Monday!!!

Happy Monday, hope you had a fantastic weekend! I took it easy since I was feeling a bit jet lagged from my two week stay in Paris. ( I must admit that waking at at 4:00 am is great for your productivity!) I am now getting caught up with administrative matters and will be doing some writing this week. I can't wait to lay down on paper all the great things I saw that were SO inspiring! I will also be speaking to the students at the University of Sherbrooke faculty of law tomorrow. Looking forward to it!

Have a fantastic week!

P.S. My heart goes out to those in Japan that have been impacted by the terrible events. I hope you and your family are safe.

Flowered Inspiration

 Every spring, an euphoric sensation comes over me as the seasonal fashions change from dark, muted and cold to light, bright and cheery. My mood immediately lightens as I pass by the colorful windows and displays, dreaming of candy colored shoes and bags. This spring, it looks like I won't be disappointed with all the bright colors I saw while window shopping in Paris!

Also, it always makes me smile when the wearing of flowing flowered dresses coincides with the burgeoning of the crocus, tulips and daffodils.  To me, this is what fashion is all about, having fun, feeling great while being in tune with the seasons.

Have a fantastic weekend!
