As a petite woman, I’m always on the look out for petite brands, especially ones that are petite-exclusive. Back in the summer, I discovered the website for Lotus Premium Denim, founded by California girl, Sarah Coronado. This line of jeans fits both short and average-height women up to around 5’6″, and is available online. And […]
On Sunday, I made an impromptu brunch trip up to Shops at Don Mills after hearing about the Heart of Fashion pop-up shop, that was in support of North York General Hospital’s women’s mental health programs. Heart of Fashion was a fashion show/shopping event held at Shops at Don Mills on November 2. Some of […]
Another Fashion Week is over! Over all, it was another amazing week, featuring many old favourites, such as Pink Tartan, David Dixon and more. There were also some rebranded lines, such as Beaufille (formerly known as Chloé comme parris) and Mikael D (Pavoni). So now that WMCFW is over for the season, I am presenting […]
The first Fashion Saturday was held at the tents at David Pecaut Square on October 26. Featuring highlights of the best looks presented at World MasterCard Fashion Week, divided into three shows (casual pieces, officewear and evening/cocktai) in three sessions, there was also an opportunity for attendees to shop various Canadian designers. A handful of […]
This morning, I woke up to the news that Sears is closing its Eaton Centre (which took over the old Eaton’s store in the early 2000s) location by early next year (and other locations as well). This was definitely expected – the chain has been struggling for years – and to be honest, I thought […]
The last day (not counting Fashion Saturday – more on that in the Yays, Mehs and Nays coming later this week)! Hilary Macmillan: One of the few designers who actually included true spring/summer colours in the collection – lavenders and shiny pieces, combined with the blacks and whites seen at the vast majority of shows […]
The Canadian Opera Company’s event, Operanation, which raises funds for the Ensemble Studio, celebrated its 10th event on October 24, once again with an amazing party at the COC’s home, the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. Inspired by Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte (which will run at the COC from January 18 to February […]
DAY 3: Paria Shivani: The first of two shows presented by The Collections, this women’s line has a young flare. The orange/tomato red tops and bottoms as well as the gauzey overlay on many of the pieces. Many of the looks are fairly wearable for every day situations, while others are in the “in between” […]
Judging from the sophisticated, elegant looks, it’s hard to believe that Matthew Gallagher is still in his 20s. His sophomore season at World MasterCard Fashion Week, once again, this collection is not for the 20-something party girl. Inspired by the Italian Riviera, there was also a hint of Grace Kelly (Grace Kelly was hinted last […]
Pink Tartan: I have a love-hate relationship with this line, and have so for the past few seasons. I love LOOKING at the outfits, but they tend to be very heavy and don’t work well on shorter women with very small frames – most pieces are next to impossible to alter without changing the shape […]
