Lara Presber

Heyy Everyone!

I haven't done a Canadian Designer post in a while, so I decided to do one today. I have found some new designers to feature.
Lara Presber was an architect who turned into a fashion designer. This can be seen through out this unique collection. All the clothes are designed and produced here in Canada. Her fall 2008 collection is full of earth tones with pops of metallic here and there.

Here are some of my favourites:

I really like all the different colours in this dress. It is beautiful. I really like how it sort of looks like an animal print, but you can't place your finger on what animal it is.

I love this skirt. It is a beautiful colour and has such great texture.

I love this entire outfit. I really like the blue colour of the skirt. The top is amazing, I love how it flares out a little bit at the bottom. It has such clean lines.

This dress has such an interesting shape and a great texture.

I really like the wide leg pants, and the texture of the top. All of her pieces have amazing texture. I like how the top is cut.

Check more out here.

Today is Remembrance day. Please take the time to remember all those who have given their lives to protect their countries, and all those who continue to put their lives on the line for their country.

I hope that everyone has an amazing week.

Skate Canada International

Heyy Everyone,

This weekend was the Homesense Skate Canada International. This year it was held in Ottawa, and the Canadians did us proud. We brought home medals in every event. Gold in the men and women competition and silver in dance and pairs. I personally love to watch the skating and I am so proud of the Canadian team. It looks like we are well prepared for Vancouver 2010.

Jessica Dube and Bryce Davidson are amazing. I don't love them as much as I loved Jamie and David, but I still find them a joy to watch.
Patrick Chan showed what he could do when he beat Jeffery Buttle (who recently announced his retirement) at the past Canadians.I don't know much about Ice dance personally, but I love to watch it because it is "pure" skating. It is more about the edges since there are no jumps. It was Vanessa Crone and Paul Poirier's first time competing at an international senior event, and they did amazing.

Joannie Rochette blew the competition out of the water, winning by about 20 points. She has grown so much in the past year. The women's event is the one I most identify with (since I skate singles).

Congrats to all the skaters, and good luck in their next competitions.

I haven't done a Canadian Designer post in a while, so I will do one within the next week or so.

I hope that everyone has an amazing week.
Love,
belle

Halloween

Heyy Everyone,
Halloween is just around the corner!!!
Halloween isn't as much fun as when I was little, but I still love free candy. haha. This year I am going trick or treating for canned food. I am doing the Halloween for Hunger campaign which was started by Free the Children. It is for a really great cause, and hopefully I will be able to get a lot of canned goods. An added bonus I still get to trick or treat, which I find so much fun with out people thinking I am too old. I don't know what I am going to be for sure, but there is always the good old black cat to fall back on, if I can't come up with anything else. Some people are so creative and I always think wow why couldn't I have thought of something like that. Oh well.
I was searching online the other day ( I really just was trying to avoid homework) and I found some pretty cool pumpkins, here are my favourites:

This pumpkin is really cute. I wish I had the skills to carve pumpkins like this. Its too bad that they rot and you can't keep them forever.

Not spooky but totally cool

Simply amusing
This took some skill.

The Burger Pumpkin is totally cool! Its my favourite by far.

Please note: None of these pictures are mine. I found them all online.

I'm not sure how old these pictures are. I found them all online.

I hope that everyone has an amazing, fun and spooky Halloween. Let me know what your going to be.

Love,
