I was very glad to see the latest IFB challenge (#115!!), which asked posters to share a plaid look. In the 90s, I had tons of plaid – it was the “thing” to wear in my earlier teens, after all. It then all died down and it either went deep in my closet or disappeared […]
It’s October 2, which means that Thanksgiving (in Canada) is just under two weeks away. In the past, I’ve experimented with baking my own soda bread (somewhat of a disaster – tried to make it in muffin cups only to have them stick to the cups!), made quinoa stuffing (delicious) and this year, I will […]
This year, Cashmere Bathroom Tissue celebrated a milestone. The tenth annual White Cashmere Collection was presented at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) on September 25, an event in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. More than 20 Canadian designers, including Project Runway Canada alumni such as Lucian Matis, Carlie Wong and Sunny Fong […]
Family-friendly clothing line, Lands’ End launched its Canadian pricing site last Wednesday. Not only will it be shipping to Canada, but prices will also be listed in Canadian dollars. To celebrate the launch, an event featuring its latest looks was held at The Fifth Social Club on Richmond and University where media had the chance […]
Last week, I had went to Elle Canada’s style/meet-and-greet designers event at the Fermenting Cellar at Toronto’s Distillery District. The event, called FashionIESTA (the event was a partnership with the 2014 Ford Fiesta) featured a bit of shopping, as well as a panel where Elle Canada’s editor-in-chief featuring some of Canada’s most well-known designers – […]
Yes, YVES Saint Laurent. Not Saint Laurent, which is how everything else is branded these days. And YSL has two of my new favourite lip colours. Both on the lighter weight side, one is marketed as a balm (the Sheer Candy, in a silver case) while the other, the Rouge VOLUTÉ Shine, is more of […]
There’s the OTT street style one sees at various Fashion Weeks and there’s normal, every day clothing. Honestly, I don’t really give a HOOT on the former. I think a lot of people who wear the crazy clothing at Fashion Week only do so to get attention, and I have never really been inspired by […]
Several blogs, including Jezebel have posted the trailer. I had heard that they were making a movie and it was to star Nicole Kidman in the lead, but I had forgotten about it until today. To tell you the truth, I’m not too sure about it. There have just been so many “biopics” lately – […]
On Wednesday, September 11, the likes of Wendy Crewson, cast members of Rookie Blue and Paul Haggis honoured several women at Maison Birks at the Manulife Centre in Yorkville. The event, called Birks Diamond Tribute to the Year’s Women in Film, was a partnership with Telefilm Canada and an “official” TIFF event. This year’s honourees, […]
Like many brands, J.Crew always creates very interesting, slightly edgier looks for their Collection line, and the upcoming Spring/Summer 2014 collection is no different. According to a briefing, the collection was inspired by two stories, one of surfing at a California beach and another influenced by the “lido lifestyle of the Venetian coast” – think […]
