Tory Burch

Every so often I stumble upon a brand whereby I want everything. Sometimes this only occurs with certain seasonal collections, but with Tory Burch it's constant. Season after season, year after year, she creates a well-rounded wardrobe of ready-to-wear tailored to everyday women.

Tory Burch (CEO) opened her first flagship store in New York in 2004. After appearing on Oprah in 2005 as "the next big thing in fashion" (an episode I recall watching), her site received 8 million hits the following day and recognition of her brand skyrocketed. Over the next few years she  was accepted into and honoured by the prestigious CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America). In 2009 Tory founded the Tory Burch Foundation which assists women in achieving their entrepreneurial dreams. She continues to spend her time expanding her brand, focusing on her philanthropic endeavours and traveling with her family.

Tory's style is a combination of Hamptons meets boat party with hints of bohemian influences. The pieces are bold enough to make a statement on their own yet versatile to be layered for a complete look.

Here is a look at my brief wish list:
