I love fashion; shoes, clothing, handbags, accessories, the works.  I guess that’s why I find myself blogging about it all the time. There’s something about the way fashion acts as its own character in a girl’s life – kind of like NYC as the fifth character in Sex and the City.  So, naturally, discovering cool new brands is one of the biggest thrills for me. It’s like adding a new weapon to your arsenal, or perhaps a nice shiny instrument to your toolbox. 

One of the most kick-ass shoe collections I’ve recently discovered is The Art Company.  Their collection is all hand crafted in La Rioja, Spain, resulting in some seriously quality goods. This is no shoe scam either, like Camper who charges “Made in Spain” prices for a product mostly made in an assembly line elsewhere.   

The Art Company features mens and ladies casual kicks, with a truly original look.  Some of my top picks from their Spring/Summer 2010 line are below, but check out the website yourself to see what looks are for you.

The term 'investment piece' is thrown about quite frequently in the fashion world, and not without good reason. When it comes to the consistently necessary pieces in your wardrobe - a great pair of jeans, a stunning party dress, your everyday handbag - you may want to invest a little bit more money in brands like Diane Von Furstenberg, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Moschino and D&G amongst many, many other designer brands that have lower-priced lines. Keep in mind that these items are not the same for everyone; if you're a bohemian freelance graphic designer living in Kensington Market chances are your choices in this respect are going to be worlds apart from a Bay Street condo-dwelling mutual funds banker, so it is imperative that you take into account your personal wardrobe needs and lifestyle when deciding what you'll get the most value out of.
