How amazing is this behind-the-scenes video of Raf Simons' first DIOR Haute Couture show? Rumor has it more than one million flowers were used to cover all 5 rooms. This level of ostentation and opulence can only be justified for such a momentous occasion (and Haute Couture of course). Can you imagine sticking each individual flower by hand??

ELIZABETH CLINE; SHOPPING TIPS
“The thing about cheap fashion is that you often wind up with a closet full of deals rather than a closet full of clothing you’ll actually wear".
We love FASHIONISTA's piece on Elizabeth Cline's new book, Overdressed. Cline shares some of her best shopping tips and why she believes in buying quality over quantity. The article includes 8 helpful tips like :
Know what you're paying for
Bottom line is that if a garment’s price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Someone is paying the price, whether it be the environment or factory workers on the other side of the world.
Re-Train Yourself to Spot ‘Value’
Clothes that are made in smaller numbers with good materials where the labor is fairly paid, it’s not going to be cheap.” But it’s going to be worth it.
Hire a Tailor

This June, it's all about the appreciation of denim, (dubbed the official fabric of Man Repelling) Whether in a cool dark indigo, or light wash; in any shape and form (Bonus points if you pull off a canadian tuxedo)! I am impartial to the extremely ripped up denim as seen on everything from ACNE this season.

CALL ME MAYBE?
We know everyone's had enough of this ridiculously infectious song but we can't resist! It has really caught the fashion world by storm; see the hilarious video Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller created for Rebecca Minkoff below. As well as the folks over at Refinery 29.
There are a bunch more out there (including one featuring Justin Bieber and other disney alums...) We thought we'd end it with Abercrombie & Fitch's take on the song; featuring (what else) shirtless babes:
I'm a little worried I will never get sick of this song

MUSIC WE LOVE: BLOOD ORANGE
We can't get enough of 'Coastal Grooves', the new album by Texan-born and London-based singer/producer Devonté Hynes. While Hynes has been a part of various musical acts over the last decade, his latest project as Blood Orange has us dancing around the store. Seamless production and Hynes' Prince-esque vocals shine equally bright on this made-for-summer masterpiece.
Our current favorite tracks off the album are 'Champagne Coast' and 'I'm Sorry We Lied', both of which have endlessly screencap-able accompanying videos. Check out Blood Orange, or expect to hear it (in moderation, of course) if you pass by the shop!
