Sanctuary Fall 2010 Collection

Greetings from Vancouver, BC! It's a bit chilly here for June, so figured that no time was better than now to blog about the fab collection that is coming our way from Sanctuary this coming fall. Although Sanctuary began as a brand that only featured pants, they have completely evolved and it is their jackets that will be VERY strong this coming season (in fact, I am longing for one at this very moment). From military to motorcycle styles, from english boyfriend to riding cuts, and from faux fur to puff-jackets, there is going to be a hugeeee variety. Pants are still one of Sanctuary's specialties, and cargo will be their premier style come autumn. After my recent trip to their showroom, where they displayed masculine bottoms paired with their flirty, girly, and flowing tops, I felt like I might be getting ahead of myself with excitement for the season to come!...And maybe that is now magnified because the temperature here in Vancouver makes it feel like it is fall already. Either way, definitely can't wait to get tons of Sanctuary into my closet!

Big thanks to Natalie Kranz for showing me the Collection and sending me the Fall 2010 Look Book!

Well, time to set sail to Alaska, where I will be more than in need of one of these jackets.

Stay tuned!

Mike&Chris Fall 2010 Collection

While at the Cynthia Vincent Showroom last month, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that not only was the designer line Mike&Chris going to release a Fall 2010 collection after taking a short hiatus, but they also shared the same showroom as CV. This made it superrrrrr easy for me to get a first glimpse of their comeback collection!!!!

The collection is allllll about comfort. Mike&Chris is another casual-but-so-chic line that can certainly be tagged as a lifestyle brand! By mixing medias, such as high quality leather combined with more simple cottons and sweats(!!!-my style to a T), they have given us some pretty rad pieces! I've always been a fan of their leather jackets, and this fall's collection did not disappoint. I was totally digging one of their grey biker jackets. The color was peerrrrrr-fec-tttttion, completely unique, and the leather...softer than soft. (See pictures below. A very similar jacket will also be available for purchase in an equally as soft cotton/sweatpants material.) But...I KNOWWWWW...that I MUST, MUST, MUST have one of the combo jackets. Leather plus sweats...and all in one!? Totallllllly my thing. No question about it!

Thanks again to Angie for showing me around the showroom and giving me the Fall 2010 Look Book! I've included some of my favorite looks below.

And wait, did I mention how much I loveeee hoods?! Lots of hooded pieces coming our way this fall!

Cynthia Vincent Fall 2010

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Fall 2010 Collection doesn't start hitting the stores until late August, but hey, it is never too early to get a first look, right!? I've always been a fan of Cynthia Vincent, and a visit to her NYC showroom with a sneak peek at her Fall/Winter line just further confirms how fantastic she is as a designer! I've already basically put together the look I will be going for come autumn! I was especially loving the all of the velvet! Tons of velvet dresses, velvet with fringe, and embellished velvet (ohhhh...ahhhh)...Gahhhh, gorgeous! Plus all of her accessories were friggin' banging. Covered studs and covered chains prove that my favorite rock star/biker chic style will prevail again this coming fall! Definitely not going to wish away the warm months that are directly ahead of us, but I'm always down to plan ahead when it comes to my wardrobe. So thank you Cynthia Vincent, you have just made (my) planning ahead super, super easy.

Thank you to Angie at the Cynthia Vincent Showroom for showing me the collection and for giving me the Fall 2010 Look Book! I've included some of my favorite looks below:
