Net-a-porter shopping spree

I know it's been a little while since I last posted and that's because I went on a multi-day, many hours long shopping spree of net-a-porter. Why? Well, first of all because it's amazing and second of all so I could pass my favourites on to you. However, I ended up picking 123 items so I've done a bit of weeding, but I'm still going to have to spread things out over a few posts/days. So, for my first section, I've chosen: dresses! I know there's a lot but I promise I've trimmed it by a half at least!

I adore this Alberta Ferretti dress. I love the style, love the colour and I bet it would look amazing on. Definately one of my very top picks!

I'm crazy over this Chloe dress. I love the yellow and I think it look amazing layered over the black. Definately something I wish was in my closet.

I love the colours in this Herve Leger. The top is very interesting and, although it reminds me somewhat of bondage, I still like it a lot.

I think this Luella dress is adorable! I find it darkly romantic, yet totally fun at the same time. I really think it's quite lovely.

Speaking of fun, I completely love this Marc by Marc Jacobs dress as well. How could you not have fun wearing this dress out dancing or anywhere?

I couldn't resist adding this Marc by Marc Jacobs dress too. I'm a huge fan of the line and I also this this dress is amazing. I love the unevenness and the great shape.

This Matthew Williamson dress isn't the style I would normally pick but I couldn't help falling in love with it. The colour is great and the embellishment at the neck is simply wonderful!

Another favourite from Matthew Williamson, I love how pretty and femmine this dress is without looking silly.

I love how simple and classic this Micheal Kors dress is and the belt totally sets it off. Wonderful.

I love everything going on in this Moschino dress. It's so interesting and definately looks like pretty/military.

I adore all te ruffles and the bow on this black Moschino. Very lovely!

I love the colour and styling of this Nathan Jenden dress. I'm loving yellow lately and I think the black accents it well without making it look like a bumblebee. I would love to have this dress in my closet!

I love th poppy belt on this T-bags dress. The poppies remind me of Rememberance day, which is coming up, but the dress is beautiful in it's own right.

I'm not usually a big fan of shiney embellishment, but I can't help but love this dress from Temperly London. The colour's great and the sleevs are adorable.

Another Temperly London favourite, I absolutely love the texture in this dress. I think it keeps the dress looking interesting and not too pink.

For getting into the lace trend, this Thurley dress is my pick. I love the large flowers and I think they keep the dress from getting too frilly and hard to wear.

I love the pattern on this Vera Wang dress. I think I've loved purple since I was six and I used to wear my purple gymnastics shirt all the time. Only this is much more chic!

Last but not least, I've chosen this black Zac Posen dress. I know I've shown it before but I'm as in love with it now as I ever was. I honestly love everything about it. The length is great, the neck is amazing, everything is perfect. A grand finale!

I'd love to know what you think of my picks and add any of your own. And I promise the other posts aren't quite this long, but that's for sticking around until the end. (photos from net-a-porter).

Shameless Plug

Instead of a proper post today, I'm insteading going to let everyone know about my newest project: a second blog. I love reading people's personal style blogs and wanted to start doing some of that, but I don't want to change Pudding and Pie because I kind of like it the way it is. Thus, Cookies N Cream was born. Go ahead and check it out!

Toronto Street Style

Here are some of the excessly stylish people snapped by Krist Papas at Toronto fashion week. I like Canadian style. On the whole I find it laid-back and on the conservative side, yet with fun quirky touchs (or maybe that's just me). I especially love the attitude of the girl in the black/pink/red sweater.

Toronto Fashion Week

In case you didn't know, I'm from Canada and I love Canadian fashion. As such, I was very excited about Toronto Fashion Week. Although I couldn't make it (it would involve flying basically across the country in the middle of midterm season, but hey, I can still dream), I did hunt high and low for some pictures of the great collections. I am so pround that these designers are from Canada and I wish them all of the best. Please note that there are quite a few photos in this one. (Photos from CTV, Krist Papas and geekigirl's Flickr)

I love the colours of these three gowns from Andy The-Anh. I think the three of them coming down the runway together looks amazing. The one on the left is probably my favourite of the three.









I love this skirt so much, I think it's amazing. I also love how darkly romantic the whole look is, especially with the hat.





















I also really liked David Dixon's spring collection. First of all, the atmosphere of the show looked amazing (I love the colour of the sky and the big tree) and the cloths did not disappoint either. I think the scaly dress has an awesome texture and I love the movement of the black skirt. the red dress also has a great print to it.


























I was also very fond of this look from Denis Gagnon. I love white for spring and the shape of the skirt is definately cute.


















Gsus looked like the most entertaining show to be at in Toronto this year, what with some models kissing in the middle of the runway and others giving rude gestures as they strut down the runway. Not to mention that the clothes were great. I love the bright colours and the wide-leg jeans.













The designs by Lucian Matis were lovely as well. I love the splashes of colour on the gown (not to mention the off-kilter bow) and the mixture of pale yellow and pink is really pretty too.


The next collection I liked was Morales. I love the pretty colours and the delicate spring dresses. The headpieces are pretty amazing too!
















I adore the retro-inspired looks at Pink Tartan. I prints are lovely and I think the clothes are incredably glamerous in a classy, old-fashioned way without looking like you're dressing up for Blast from the Past Day (did anyone else have those in school? So much fun. Anyway...).

I love this coat and bag from Rudsak. The coat is crisp and white, but doesn't end up looking like a lab coat (trust me, I'm a science major and my lab coat is nowhere near this chic).

The Thien Le show looked absolutely gorgeous. I love the red dress, it reminds me so much of Flamenco, which is insanely sexy in a completely non-vulgar way (always important). Plus the yellow background is amazing!

I hope you enjoy these styles as much as I do and let me know what you think. I'm planning on posting some of the cool street style I found spotted at the shows (not by me, unfortunately). As well, I bought an amazing green wool skirt over the weekend and I can't wait to show it off. I tried taking some photos, but the colour came out funny, so I'm hopefulling going to get some outside shots of it tomarrow.
