Danier + Alexia Fast Handbag Collaboration

Published by

Danier has done it yet again! The brand has teamed up with another Canadian talent to create a fantastic line of handbags that “…speaks to the lady – and the rebel – in all of us…“. Actress Alexia Fast (Jack Reacher, The Secret Circle) has collaborated with the Canadian brand to create her dream handbag – the Alexia Fast bucket tote (my fav) along with other styles to compliment the collection. There are four styles available, and each style is available in either black or sand. Take a look at the collection – starting with the Alexia Fast bucket tote:

#Blossomxbkr Beauty Water Challenge

Published by

If you know me….you know that I am always up for a challenge. Maybe it’s that same competitive spirit that has had me playing soccer for almost 18 years now (relax…I’m only 25 – you do the math).  In any case, I was happy to partake in the Blossom Lounge #blossomxbkr Beauty Water Challenge. It was a month long challenge to drink 500ml five times a day. Now, in the first week, I found it extremely challenging to drink that much water in a day. So, I had to start slow and build up my water-intake (sounds kind of medical lol). I can honestly say that I now travel pretty much everywhere with my bkr bottle. From work, to social events, to soccer, it’s always in my bag. I event brought it to fashion week and named it one of my must-have essentials!  In the mornings, my routine now includes filling up my bkr bottle before I head out the door. Before I leave work I do the same thing. And it’s funny, at work …

Announced: Alexander Wang x H&M

Published by

Last night as the clock struck 12:00 a.m., Alexander Wang released some very exciting news when he published his first-ever Instagram post. Wang will be the latest in a string of designers to collaborate with retailer H&M on an exclusive line. View the video here. It looks like the collection is set to launch on November 6th, 2014. Which seems about right. Most of the previous designer-collaborations from past years also launched around the same time. I have to say, I really love Alexander Wang’s aesthetic. Most, if not all of his designs are clean, to the point, and all about the little details which I can definitely appreciate. With this collaboration I’m hoping that the focus is on three things: shoes, outerwear, and of course – bags. Here are a few products that Wang already has on the market which I hope serve as inspiration for the collection (illustrations based on merchandise/product already being sold by the designer).   Textured-leather Biker Vest – Alexander Wang Alla Open Toe Wedge – Alexander Wang Prisma Tote – Alexander Wang  Large Chastity …
