Poll: Are you sick of Jeffrey Campbell’s Lita boot?
Not since Uggfluenza (a clever term coined by Amy Verner), have we seen a shoe-outbreak spread as widely as that of Jeffrey Campbell‘s infamous Lita boot. Since the boot’s release last fall, it seems that everyone everywhere has bought a pair for themselves, in every pattern from the American flag, to the Christopher Kane–inspired cosmic print (pictured x2 above). We can’t say we don’t get the appeal. The boot is re-released every few months in a new pattern, colour, or material, it comes equipped with the ultra-covetable and trendy platform toe, and most importantly it’s affordable.
The boot seems to pop up everywhere. And with every appearance, it’s followed by several angry and fatigued tweets à la “If I see another Lita boot, I may puke.” So what say you? Are you over it? Vote after the jump, and in case you’re not, peruse our look book of the latest styles. They’re each $162, and available at shopnastygal.com.

Inside Vancouver’s all-star The Room opening with Jessica Stam, Brian Atwood, Erdem, and Alexandra Richards
A black carpet, sprinkled with male models in white tuxes, beckoned guests to the second floor of the Bay Downtown Vancouver for the Thursday night grand opening of The Room, the department store’s second den of high fashion. Erdem Moralioglu and Brian Atwood—both on their first visit to Vancouver—Jason Matlo, Monika Deol, and Jessica Stam (to name a few) were among the crowd of well-dressed revellers air kissing, clinking glasses, and noshing on Hawksworth Restaurant–made canapés.

Strict compulsive obsessive: Our naughty November shoot featuring fall’s top beauty trends

A woman of substance: Our exclusive Q&A with Carine Roitfeld
Carine Roitfeld, the world’s most inimitably chic fashion editor, is back. She tells Rani Sheen what’s next for her.
When it was announced in December that Carine Roitfeld had stepped down as editor-in-chief of Paris Vogue, the fashion world erupted in speculation about what she’d do next. The answer, in part, lies in the book Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent ($110, Rizzoli New York), a mid-career retrospective of her most arresting shoots, notes from designers, and personal mementos. It’s a satisfying read because there is such a fascination with Roitfeld, the coolest woman in any front row. We asked her what else she’s been up to.

LFW diary: A day of standouts from Erdem, Peter Pilotto, Christopher Kane, Burberry, Mark Fast, and Giles! (Woah!)
Today was a day of standouts at London fashion week, from Peter Pilotto to Christopher Kane and Erdem. The other shows today? Burberry, Mark Fast, and Giles, all of which included some great pieces. Burberry had cropped parkas, African-inspired geometric beading, and straw riding hats with pompoms, while Mark Fast featured looser knits—almost crochet-like, in some cases—on dresses. At Giles we saw swan headpieces by Stephen Jones and laser-cut red leather gown worn by our very own Kate King.

They said/We said: This year’s British Fashion Council award nominations are out, including Erdem, Victoria Beckham, and Kate Middleton faves
The British Fashion Council just released the nominations for this year’s awards and surprise, surprise Kate Middleton favourites Sarah Burton and Erdem (yay!) are up for the Designer of the Year award alongside the always-thrilling Christopher Kane.
Other big nominations include Victoria Beckham for Designer Brand of the Year, even after last year’s controversy started by industry veterans over her nomination in the same category. (But, hey, she can sing, dance, and be pregnant in heels, so that’s got to count for something, right?) This time around, she’s up against Burberry, Stella McCartney, and Tom Ford. (In the case of Ford, apparently living part-time in London makes you a British designer?)
In the Model of the Year category, rockstar and supermodel offspring Georgia May Jagger will battle it out with Chanel muses Stella Tennant and Kristen McMenamy. Meanwhile, we’ve got a soft spot for all nominees in the Emerging Talent category. How can you choose between Mary Katrantzou, J.W. Anderson, and Peter Pilotto? The winners will be announced at a ceremony on November 28.

The Room II: The Bay announces the opening of its luxury store in Vancouver

Royal wedding countdown: Day 2
While some seem doubtful, we feel that Kate has the chops to one day become a style icon rivaling her late great mother-in-law. Kate, if you’re reading this (Hi!!!), we think all it would really take is branching out from your jersey dresses and pea coats and embracing the incredible talent that London fashion has to offer. For the couple’s impending honeymoon (rumoured to be taking place in either Australia or Africa), we picked a slightly more daring designer honeymoon wardrobe that we think would be sure to help Katie that secure her a spot in royal fashion history.
