This month we changed things up a bit. We asked Jeanne to give us three trends you’ll want to wear this spring. Herewith, her favourite crop tops, full skirts and open-toe booties (and where to buy them)
TOP PICK: OPEN-TOE BOOTIES
Gianvito Rossi from Holt Renfrew, 50 Bloor St. W., $785
“This is just a gorgeous shoe, really chic. I own several pairs of Rossi’s boots, and they are so comfortable I could wear them all day long. I just love the line of these. Absolutely elegant.”
TOP PICK: FULL SKIRTS
Sara Duke from Coal Miner's Daughter, 744 Queen St. W., $124
“This is fantastic. It’s such a great geometric print. It’s got a great retro vibe to it, yet the fabric makes it look modern.”
TOP PICK: CROP TOPS
3.1 Phillip Lim from Holt Renfrew, 50 Bloor St. W., $515
“This is beautiful: really nice quality and the perforated leather is a huge trend as well. It looks very modern.”
A Treat from the Olsen Twins
Liz & James from Holt Renfrew, 3401 Dufferin St., $405
“A nice, thick kind of neoprene fabric. I love this modern print. It’s got a great weight to it, too, and it looks sculptural.”
From Japan with Love
Eley Kishimoto from Gravity Pope, 1010 Queen St. W., $299
“Florals are coming on strong! I love the colourations in this one. It’s just beautiful. This would go with just about anything.”
French Noir
Carven from TNT, 2901 Bayview Ave., $650
“This is just so pretty, and it has this geometric, square pattern. It’s very feminine and dramatic at the same time.”
Korean Kicks
Young and Tae from Young and Tae, 630A Queen St. W., $75
“This is nice and edgy, and I really like the zipper detailing. It’s got a great heel: not too skinny, but not too thick.”
Don Camuto Knows Best
Vince Camuto from Hudson’s Bay, 176 Yonge St., $180
“These have a beautiful design, and you could really dress these up or down. Great with jeans or with a little black dress.”
Quiet Italian Luxury
Salvatore Ferragamo from Davids, 66 Bloor St. W., $750
“There’s so much going on with the design. Very interesting little shoe. It’ll look so pretty for the spring.”
Lucky Number Nine
NIne West from Nine West, 93 Bloor St. W., $180
“It’s got some great laces at the front, a nice stacked heel, and it’s just a feminine little bootie. I love it.”
The Baby Blues
Pink Tartan from Pink Tartan, 77 Yorkville Ave., $125
“This has some really nice fabrication, and it’s really cozy. I love this beautiful, soft blue. It would look great with some charcoal grey.”
Perfect Pompoms
Clementine & Tweed from Coal Miner's Daughter, 744 Queen St. W., $54
“This little one is so sweet, and it's just a nice, romantic, vintage-looking top. Very playful, plus really feminine.”
Che Bella!
Fabiana Filippi from Andrews, 2901 Bayview Ave., $495
“You could wear this with nothing underneath if you wanted to expose a bit of tummy. It's a sand colour, which is very hot for the season. Very organic. Beautiful."
