THE WINTER WISHLIST

It's not cold just yet but it is scheduled to snow this Thursday in Montréal. I'm not prepared; I'm still wearing an insubstantial blazer and vintage boots. My only winter wear here consists of a cashmere wrap, a pair of cheap (magic!) gloves and a Kangol Russian hat. So, I have been browsing the beautiful stores of Montreal and here comes my wishlist for that winter chill just around the corner, well the under layer at least.Brrrrr.

Stud Ambition

I don't always follow trends, but I, like the rest of the fashion press will happily endorse the stud obsession. Studs it seems are the quick and easy method to toughen up your look be it ball gown glamour, party wear, or daywear. All the luxe designers have added studs to their SS/09 collections, see Alice Temperley's odyessey belt and Alexander Wangs studded white dress in the collage above, even Nike are adding a sprinkling of gold studs to their latest limited edition high tops.Givenchy were ahead of the fashion pack with their giant gold studded blazer as worn by Mary-Kate Olsen last season.Look to Axel Rose and Slash for true studding inspiration. Long live chic grunge.
