Floral Print Shorts - Ted Baker London

Just when I thought my cross-border hops had been made completely redundant, news broke today that It-Brit fashion brand Ted Baker London and U.S.-based Kate Spade New York will both be arriving in Canada this fall, with 2 new stand-alone stores coming to Yorkdale Mall. 

I've always been a fan of Kate Spade with her happy prints, preppy colours and must-bookmark blog, behind the curtain.  The Fall 2012 collection, though, is exceptionally charming, with loads of Parisian references and a highly-anticipated collaboration with French street-style blogger Garance Doré.  Youpeee! As for Ted Baker, I'm just getting to know the brand but am already in love with the super chic collection and foresee this being a long and highly profitable relationship (for Ted Baker, anyway..though, I'll surely reap the wardrobe rewards).

Will keep you posted on all the store opening deets.  I so want an invite to those parties!  Hint. Hint.
