Here's a picture of the OS team last week at the Pacific Centre event I AM DOWNTOWN shopping night.  We had the pleasure of being the Style Experts for the night!  There was a great turn out & we had a blast answering style questions and chit chatting with new clients.

Kayne West - The Runaway

When I first heard this video was half an hour I wasn't sure what to think.  I was running late as usual and thought I'd put the video on to see the first couple minutes.  30 minutes later I closed the screen.  The talent and creativity (I don't even think that's the right word to use) in this video amaze me.  The lyrics, the story it tells, the scenes are all incredible.  I have to say the part with the ballerinas almost brought tears to my eyes, it's breath taking.  Thank you Kanye for taking the music world above and beyond.  The man seems unstoppable & always a step ahead.  Set some time aside because this is a must watch.

Natalia Vodianova

 Natalia Vodianova in December's Harper's Bazaar UK

She remains to be one of my favorite models. It's shocking how many shoots she has been in that are absolutely breath taking.  Counting down till this issue is out so I can have this editorial in print.
