"I go through phases where I wear certain items all the time, and these Alexander Wang shoes fit into that category. I don’t think I took them off for six months straight. My job at the time had hardwood floors, and the wooden heel would make tons of noise when I walked. Determined to still wear them every day, I got a thin layer of rubber put on the bottom to absorb the sound — that is dedication in my eyes!
"I scrimped and saved for this Celine bag. I am very accident-prone and am afraid that I will destroy or spill something all over it and stain the leather. So sadly, it spends a lot of time at home." — Mark

"Like all girls, I am a huge fan of Thakoon. His clothes are so unique and beautiful; wearing them is such a treat. I loved this dress from the moment I saw it. These Chloé wedges were also a great purchase. They define beach-y chic to me." — Mark

"Got the Celine bag in LA while I was producing my line in Long Beach. Got me through many sleepless nights in the LBC factory! Now I know what Snoop was talkin about in all his lyrics..." — Kleinberg

"I have an obsession with Yves Saint Laurent. It’s so chic! The blouse is from my fall 2011 collection. Just easy, sheer and I can just throw on with anything." — Kleinberg

"I thought I was so cool and unique when I bought this piggy bank from Barneys, until I saw it in every single person’s home! It doesn’t matter, though — it makes me happy every time I look at it. These sunglasses are Proenza Schouler and are a go-to for me. I lost one pair of their glasses a couple years ago and now guard these ones very closely." — Mark
"Alexander McQueen used prints so beautifully that when this collection came out I tried to get my hands on as much of it as possible. I don’t really use the clutch that much, as I see it as a piece of art and am so scared to bring it out of the house!" — Mark
"Living in Canada, it goes without saying that sweaters are a wardrobe essential. The sweater on the bottom left is designed by my lovely and talented partner, Erin Kleinberg, and has a place in my sweater hall of fame. It is so cozy and looks so chic. It is a sample, but I really don’t plan on parting with it anytime soon." — Mark

"Stephanie and I shoot Phi whenever we come across it. Obsessed. The fur piece was my great grandmothers- she was effortlessly glam. Half my jewels are from her. And her collection of vintage scarves was what inspired me to create my first piece and start designing!" — Kleinberg

"This is my mom’s vintage Coach bag, and I am definitely reviving it! I am so sick of slouchy bags; frame bags are fresher to me now. The Chien de Collier is definitely a prized possession and a stunning color!
The Coveteur has made me a firm believer in what’s old is now new again, and I was so happy to bust out this ivory Marc Jacobs bag. Another structured beauty! The chain belt is from Value Village, one of my favorite stores in Toronto. It’s a chain thrift shop, but you’d be surprised the gear people give away. " — Kleinberg

"These are some mood boards and images from my past look books for erinkleinberg. The look books are always really fun, and I have had some rad girls model for me! Nessie, Irina, Theo, Annabelle, and most recently Harley Viera Newton helped bring fall 2011 to life. I am one lucky gal! I’m in love with Tom Binns. I would seriously wear that necklace to bed if I could. He is a modern-day genius." — Kleinberg

Il Sellaio
A must-see store that you just cannot miss, in a small town with a rich history and culture
A source of inspiration for Manzoni, with its tabernacle of the “bravi”, don Rodrigo’s palace and Lucia’s house, Lecco provides many suggestions for a truly fascinating historic and literary itinerary.
Such a novel-like fascination may be retrieved also in the province, in Casatenovo, in a traditional saddlery founded at the end of the 19th century that after turning into a luxury leather goods and luggage shop has become today one of the go-to boutiques for Lecco fashionistas.
Carla Cazzaniga and Valeria Gerosa, mother and daughter, have turned their passion for fashion into a research activity that resulted in the creation of two stores: Il Sellaio, the first one, followed by Il Sellaio Young.
The most refined clients may choose among designs by Céline, Dries Van Noten, Versace, Miu Miu, Stella McCartney Brunello Cucinelli, Castaner and Giuseppe Zanotti, following Carla’s advice. For a younger and fresher look, Valeria has picked brands such as Isabel Marant, Sonia by Sonia Rykiel, Pinko, MSGM, Leather Crown, Golden Goose, Au jour Le jOur, Patrizia Pepe and many more.
And for baby fashion icons, Il Sellaio Young has recently inaugurated a new space dedicated to children wear, Il Sellaio Kids, where dressing with style becomes fast and funny also for the young ones. A must-see store that you just cannot miss, in a small town with a rich history and culture.

Shopppping!!!
I went shopping earlier on in the week and bought a number of different things.......but my favourite item I bought were these shoes from Urban Outfitters
They are not usually something I would choose....but I was taken by them and there was only one pair left in my size so I saw it as fate and had to have them! At a small price of £38!
