Now that summer is officially over its time to step into fall. What better way to do that than in something inspired and daring. This post is meant to provide some material for you ladies to work with. It comprises my favourite looks from the Fall 2011 Collections of some of my favourite designers. It also lists prominent trends for the season below the images. Enjoy my lovelies.

The day after I got back from Vegas, I had just enough time to repack my suitcases to catch a flight to Toronto. I found Toronto exactly as I had expected – completely covered in snow, in a state of a beautiful, urban, winter wonderland. Actually, pretty much everything else about my trip home was free of surprises. It was just as relaxing and pleasant as I had hoped. It was so nice waking up to the smell of my mom baking and my dad making coffee. There are so many little things I miss being in California without them.
Patent It!
I really patented-it-up for this look-of-the-day. I’ve been waiting to wear this jacket for a while now and today’s decent weather finally permitted the materialization of my modest desire. I generally love large, high collars and I especially appreciate well-constructed ones that stay up as intended. The texture of the patent leather allows the collar on this jacket to stay in place regardless of how high you want it. I paired it with high, patent leather gloves, as I had done in the Gloves video. Once I decided to complete the look with the patent, Pierre Hardy boots, I kept the rest of the garments simple. The shine of patent leather was enough of a statement in itself so I went with a plain sweater and jeans to balance out the glam. That is basically all there’s to my ‘patent’ story

End of Long Weekend
I’m still in Montreal and this post is of my relaxed, “I’m a little tired from celebrating Valentine’s Day” look. I’m about to go to Schwartz’s for a bite to eat. It must sound like that’s all I do here, and it is .
Flower scarf and thick wool
This morning I woke up with a newfound drive for action. It feels like I’m only starting 2010 now, but better late than never I guess . I have ambitious plans for today and the upcoming week. I’m starting by going to the gym this morning for an energy boost and then I’ll be crossing things off my “to-do” list.
