You guys this is so exciting! The beautiful piece shown here is an exclusive lariat from my collection, Kitten Couture! It is available on 66 Degrees! This Ontario based site looks for designers that are willing to create exclusive items that are only available in limited quantities. So I created the Alli which includes Botswana Agate, Carnelian, Snail Shell and more! This was such an amazing process and you should check out the site to see what other designers have created from jewelry, furniture and art! I love the idea of being introduced to designers that you may not have been aware of and this is exactly what this site aims to do! This is definitely and exciting day for me and one that I couldn't wait to share with all of you. Please pass this on and thank you so much for being apart of this amazing day!!!

It is so close to that time of year – how exciting is it to think that your boots will be replaced by cute sandals, flip flops and espadrilles? I have to say that I have never owned a pair of espadrilles as shocking as this may sound and so this summer I am definitely introducing this into my wardrobe as I see this as a HUGE void that must be filled. In my search and perfect for the theme of LAGOON, I came across Tory Burch’s espadrille known as the Stephanie. I love the pattern on this shoe and the natural nature of it as well. Available on Bluefly (love that you can pull up pieces by category and also color), this is a great way to send some love to your closet and to keep it fresh!

When I think about Fashion Week - I love that it continues no matter where you are! Today, we highlight in this Trendy Thursday segment, Joeffer Caoc's Toronto Fashion Week Show. Initially, I came across this fab designer while checking out today's Coutorture recap of this portion of the runway Fashion Week. For the purpose of this post, I wanted to introduce a designer that was new to me and that I definitely wanted to let you guys know about. I love this outfit I think that in terms of the top - I love that it is a one shoulder and has a bit of that Grecian vibe which is very femme and exotic. I also love that it is paired with a pair of cuffed shorts which is so South Beach! I think this is a nice addition to the concept of THINK CITRUS! Check out more of Joeffer Caoc on his site and see the amazing pieces from his collection.

The holiday season can be very scary when you think about everything that you have to do and to give out. Sometimes you wonder who the recipient of this gift should be for and how do you get extras in case someone drops by. I'm sure for those that are cooks and bakers, the idea of making something comes natural; however, many of us that look at our kitchens like a myth that emerged into reality. Because of this, we need to definitely place this on our list as a trend to adopt. We have quite a few weeks left so take some time to get cute jars, ribbon, etc to come up with a recipe for cookies that can be layered into the jars. How about coming up with trailmix, a special tea blend or hot cocoa mix? People will love to see that you took the effort to make something tasty while also leaving the container as well. Visit Martha Stewart for recipes and ideas as well.
