Japanese Obsession

I've always loved how the Japanese embrace fashion as a culture and treat it with so much respect. This Style.com video shows how some Japanese fashionistas are more interested and informed about the big fashion insiders than the people who wear all the amazing things they buy. While most of us might not even know their names, they definitely are Big in Japan.

There were a lot of neon shades going down the runway for Fall, but one of our favorites was the neon pink. Though we love a full on neon look like this one from Michael Kors, I think that a dash of neon pink goes a long way in real life. So if you're not ready to leave the house in a bright pink fur hat, try one of these looks:Bamboo Print Dress by Cantao

Pair this beautiful print dress with dark leggings, your favorite pair of booties, and a simple jacket and you've got a chic fall neon look.

Soft Rose Scarf by Cantao

This reversible scarf is a perfect way to add neon hints to a look without having to add something to your wardrobe that you might not use again next year. Because the print is so beautiful, the fabric so soft and you can pair it with any of the dozen colors on the scarf, you'll wear this season after season.

The Loose sweater by Cantao

What I really love about this pink accented sweater is that you can you wear it with so many other great trends. Pair it with cool tight leather pants, great sunglasses and boots for a cool rock feel or with boyfriend jeans and fringed flat boots for a more laid back look.

Introducing...

So this season was the first time I was lucky enough to participate in Fashion Business in Rio de Janeiro. Fashion Business gathers dozens of designers from all over Brazil and give them each a space in one huge tent. This is great because it gives domestic and international buyers like me, not only a one stop shop to all the brands I already buy from, but it was a great way to be introduced to brands I would have never know about. Can't wait to introduce you all to some of the beautiful new things I'm bringing...
