Fashion Week Daily - Best of February 7th (New York)


Nicole Miller knows her way around a print. I love how understated they are, and yet they still have a powerful impact. The Nicole Miller woman exudes confidence and strength, and this fall winter collection is right up my alley!


Zimmermann takes the hard and soft concept to a new level, by mixing floral soft patterns with hardware and sharp lines. I love it! You can view the full collection here!



Carmen Marc Valvo's Fall Winter Collection is very intimidating in a good way. Reminds me of Gladiators and greek things.

Fashion Week Daily - Best of February 6th (New York)


Aside from whoever photographed this, insanely overexposing the crap out of these, this collection was phenomenal! I loved the lace detailing, and use of different fabrics together. The overall show was brilliant too! You can view it here.

Fashion Spread Friday - De Cara Com A Rua










Cara Delevingne is one of my top girl crushes, and the feelings aren't going to subside any time soon, if she keeps churning out these photos. But that's besides the point. The clothing and accessories in this shoot by Jaques Dequeker, are a hybrid of punk and hip hop street glamour, that are so scrumptious, I just want to jump and roll around in them. Or you know, wear them.

Not to mention the styling, makeup and hair. Seriously on point. I love the whole ensemble of this spread!

Musings - Tell the World that I'm Coming Home

So, another lazy day shuffles on by here in Australia, where I remain jobless, and friendless. The moment I see my kitties for the very first time in 7 months could NOT come any sooner. I am flying home, to the blistering icy world of Toronto in 4 short days, and the feelings are mixed. Of course, I will miss my sister (and her husband Ryan). I have re-bonded with her furball, Haplo; Who is an orange ball of life and quirks that I love so very dearly. The thought of losing him all over again is really disheartening. I've also come to really enjoy the company of my Sister's dog, Perta. She's a stubborn, but goofy fun loving Malamute, and I'm going to miss her constant chirps and howls to get us to play with her, and give her endless attention. Such a funny dog. As I write this, she is laying quite dead-like right beside me. ♥ Love her!

BUT, then I think about my Kitties, Ripley and Kalani, and I am filled with excitement. They are my babies, my best friends, and I hated leaving them. I felt like I abandoned them those short 7 months ago, and now I am finally going to return to them. I only hope they will forgive me. I miss my home and my city. The lights, the snow, the people, the fashion, the buzz. I miss it all so much. A part of me will cherish Australia and all it has given me, but I know where my heart lies. Toronto. I don't think any place will feel quite as familiar and comforting to me.

However, there are still 4 days until I leave, and I'm going to enjoy being in Australia, while I can. Because really, who WOULDN'T want to be in Australia?

Until next time!

Cleaning Schedule | How to Stay Organized

This is NOT the full size image for printing. Download HERE.

Hello everyone! If you just started following me, this is my first post under the revamped blog. I used to post some fashion dabblings here, but I've totally reworked the layout, and am starting fresh here at Rebel Chanel. This blog will still heavily focus on fashion, but will also venture into beauty, lifestyle, and food as well!

So, what better way to start off my newly organized and cleansed blog, with a Cleaning Schedule for your own house! I was greatly inspired by miss Blair Fowler, a.k.a juicystar007, and I've taken a lot of her suggestions, and designed my own printable schedule! Please feel free to download the full image, and print it out for yourself! Or, like I did with Blair's use this, and design your own schedule!
