Coachella Dreamin'

So this weekend...it begins again. Coachella is back in sunny California, while I am still in this snow covered city of Winnipeg.

If I was there (which I should be), you better bet I'd be decked out in these sweet digs.

I can't even begin to tell you how shocked, yet excited I was when I saw this book on a shelf last night at McNally Robinson.

Right away I scooped this baby up into my hands, and didn't let it go until I made sure everyone around me saw it. "I want a pony."

Not only is this post on a book full of cats wearing wigs, but there's also the added bonus of the books behind the scenes photo shoot.

Converted Church for Imps & Elfs

This amazing home and fashion showroom converted from a church in the south of Amsterdam belongs to Fons Cohen -- his wife and three adorable daughters -- the owner and founder of the fashion brand Imps & Elfs. 

Basically I fell in love with this house instantly.

One Last Tour - Last UK Show Eva

This post is long overdue, but I gotta say that the only reason it's still relevant is because Swedish House Mafia is really going no where. Even though they've decided to call it quits and are currently on their last tour ever they couldn't be any bigger than they are right now, even in Canada.

But ladies in gentlemen, now it's time for my humble brag. Some of you may have made the trek to Toronto a couple weekends ago to see these hunks spin. But you'll be jealous to know that I was lucky enough to witness and dance my little tush off at their last UK show ever last summer in July at the Milton KeynesBowl in England. That also means I am somewhere in this music video, and was there to hear them play Don't You Worry Child for the first time eva!!

Yes, it was one of the best times of my life. Everyone was going nuts, having a jolly old time even though we were all covered up to our necks in mud! This show 'One Night Stand' had over 65,000 peeps just as excited as I was, and went on for 9 amazing hours.

My biggest regret was not wearing a penguin suit to the show so I could now successfully find myself in the crowd, but it's something I can live with. If you ever get the chance to see Axwell, Steve Angello, or Sebastian Ingrosso on their own -- since their trio will soon be long gone -- I promise you will have the time of your life.

The Oscars 2013

This year at the Oscars it was all about the trains, an hour glass fit, and sequins -- but I admit some of my favourites made many others Worst Dressed lists. In no specific order, here are some of the dresses I fell head over heels for:

Stacy Keibler - Naeem Khan

Amy Adams - Oscar de la Renta

Jennifer Garner - Gucci

Naomi Watts - Armani Prive

Charlize Theron - Dior Haute Couture

Halle Berry - Versace

Jennifer Lawrence - Dior Haute Couture

Sandra Bullock - Elie Saab

Zoe Saldana - Alexis Mabille Couture

Jessica Chastain - Giorgio Armani

MR x DR P

It's happening. Two of my favourite things are collaborating for nothing less than a dream come true. The one of a kind Man Repeller, Leandra Medine, and the one and only, Dr Pepper.

You'll really just have to check out the campaign itself, but I can tell you the messaging is mint. It's important to find your identity -- no matter how different you may be -- and own it. More people should be proud to be one of a kind, rather than trying to conform to the norm. Preach.

Grammy's 2013

I was actually thinking of making this years Grammy post on the best looks from the gentlemen. But the ladies just looked wayyyy too good!

After watching the round up on Fashion Police, it quickly confirmed my love for many things "ugly". Some of their worst dressed made my best dressed list and vise versa. To keep it on a positive note I'm only posting my most fav looks, and I'll keep the worst ones in my secret vault along with all things kitten heeled.

Maison Martin Margiela Paris SS13

Maison Martin Margiela.

"Often referred to as iconoclast, avant-garde and experimental, the Maison expresses its creativity through recycling, transformation and reinterpretation - like an emotion, a unique and timeless proposal defying all laws and rules."

When I saw this collection, I was completely blown away. I love everything about it -- the colours, the patterns, the textures, the designs. At this moment in time if someone were to ask me..."If you were given a blank cheque to go shopping, where is the first place you would go and what would you buy?"

I would respond simply with, "Maison Martin Margiela, and everything." 

The following photos were shot backstage at Maison Martin Margiela's SS13 Artisanal's Haute Couture fashion show. Each amazing photo was captured by Édouard Caupeil, and you can see more behind the scenes photos here.
