Hello! My name is Alexandra and I am a autumn-oholic. Fall is my absolute favourite season because, really, doesn't all the best stuff come out in fall? You've got cozy sweaters, rich colours, TIFF, September issues of magazines and new fall TV shows. This fall 2011, here are my picks: 


1. Hush Puppies Auddie Wedge (C$140.00)

Dear Zooey Deschanel,

please be my BFF.

Sincerely, Alexandra.


I love Zooey Deschanel; she’s cool, she’s arty, she’s nerdy but in the most lovable way and she seems like she’s just here to have a good time. With a new television show coming out- New Girl and a new movie- Our Idiot Brother, Zooey is going to be on everyone's radar this fall. Here are my top three reasons why Zooey...

Last winter and fall, the fur was flying. We saw fur coats, fur shawls and fur scarves. Even faux fox tail key chains for your purses! What about a fur skirt though? Miu Miu (middle) sent a fur skirt down the runway last fall 2010, Tracy Reese (right) had one in her collection for fall 2011, Micheal Kors (left) designed a fur skirt in fall 2010. It works on models on the runway- but...

You know summer is coming to an end when the "back to school" commercials for office supplies stores and department stores start. I dread that awkward time when stores fill with fall merchandise but it is still crazy hot out and you can't find anything to wear. These three girls however, seem to be the exception. They each look easy, breezy cool and have pieces that are summer worthy but...

Spencer is a personal favourite on Pretty Little Liars. I love that she is one of the more level headed characters and I guess I also see a little bit of myself in her type A personality. Another reason I love Spencer is her vintage inspired style. 
 
This may incite some controversy, but I really think that when Spencer does vintage right- she does it RIGHT! Sometimes her outfits are hit...

Jenni and I went to the Robin Barker Salon the other day and Robin Barker himself was there on hand to show us some quick and easy up dos for a day time, casual look. This look interprets the messy bun as seen on many of the runway shows, but toned down to make it wearable for school or the office. What I love about this ‘do is the fact that it isn't fussy, it doesn’t require much effort...

There I was, 22 years old, a recent graduate, a busy gal interning with a few different companies and I’m still carrying a flip phone. Not even like a cool flip phone. An old school, President’s Choice cell phone. You didn’t even know President’s Choice had cell plans- did you? Well, they do and it’s super embarrassing to take out your lame flip phone at events or parties and have...

It's hard not to be jealous of Andrej Pejic's full lips, smooth and flawless skin, long blonde locks and piercing eyes that give the camera a smouldering stare. It especially burns when you realise that the self proclaimed, "gender bender supernova" is a man and that he is indeed, hotter than you. 
 

Andrej Pejic has modelled both women's and...
