StacieBlair's MUST HAVES

Alexa Chung + Madewell = Best Collab of the Year

Who doesn't admire Alexa Chung's creative yet amazing fashion sense? I've always thought highly of Alexa, and now that she has joined forces with Madewell, anyone can shadow this icon. Even though Madewell isn't in Canada, I may have to order some pieces online or visit Madwell on my next visit to the States. All of the merchandise Alexa helped to design are totally reminiscent of her style, which I adore. Here are some of my favourite pieces from the collaboration:

StacieBlair's MUST HAVES: Christian Louboutin

Christian Louboutin Barbie

Who could think of a more perfect duo than Barbie and Loubs....

Christian Louboutin has collaborated with Barbie to create a limited edition 'Cat Burglar' doll. In a black catsuit and Differa sandals, she is the perfect gift for fashion lovers. She comes with a collection of 4 red-soled Louboutins, each with their own shoe box and bag. If you own a pair of Loubs, now you can get your Barbie a matching pair. I need one NOW!

Unfortunately, she is ALREADY sold-out at Net-a-Porter... but you can buy one at FAO Schwartz, The Doll Market, or of course Ebay. For only $150, I think I need one!

StacieBlair's MUST HAVES: Rebecca Taylor

Rebecca Taylor

Here are some of Rebecca Taylor's fabulous pieces that I adore...

1. This stringy dress in a deep plum tone is great for a night out on the town. The strings will lengthen your body, and this is a great color for fall. $350.

2. This playful lace, satin, and ruffle tank is great with jeans (either casual - pictured above, or skinny denim). It would look cute with a blazer and add some girly flare to your outfit! $315.

3. This turquoise and gold metallic party dress is so precious. It is great for any formal occasion, and will add some sparkle to your look. The oversized bow is fabulous. $350.

4. This simple yet pretty purple camisole is a great piece for any wardrobe. The embellished chain adds its own uniqueness. It would look great with jeans, opaque leggings or can be fancied up with a leather jacket. $250.

StacieBlair's MUST HAVES: Bows

Bow Necklace

Now that I am back at school in London (Canada, not UK), I spent some time shopping down Richmond Street, in the downtown area with quaint shops and restaurants. I went to Leslie's, a trendy store, and after browsing the clothing, I found an adorable necklace. It had a gold chain with a medium-sized bow. It resembled the necklace below, which is in Rachel Leigh's collection and is $76 (http://www.rachelleigh.com).



Personally, I love adding a feminine touch to my outfits. A bow pendent necklace is perfect to dress up any simple outfit while bringing out your girly side.

Here are some necklaces in different price ranges:


Juicy Couture, $58



Marc by Marc Jacobs, $198




Tiffany & Co, $350

StacieBlair's MUST HAVES: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Marc by Marc Jacobs Boots

With fall somewhat around the corner, fall fashions are starting to appear in stores. While shopping in Bloomies, I found a fabulous pair of boots:
Marc by Marc Jacobs flat leather boots. They also come in a tan colour, but I personally love black because it works with most outfits. I hope to get my hands on a pair for the fall! They are super comfortable, stylish, and who doesn't love a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs pair of shoes? Also, they're not that pricey... $395 for a pair of designer boots is pretty damn reasonable.
