Embellished Tops and Bishop Sleeves at Tory Burch

Presented off site in what looked like a hotel ballroom, glamorous looks were definitely expected, whether it is colour saturated or basic black.  It’s always best when designers don’t over-do the black for their fall/winter lines, and this was definitely the case with Tory Burch. While there is black in the collection (there has to […]

Gorgeus Deep Shades at Carolina Herrera Don’t Disappoint

I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed by Carolina Herrera.  The looks are always gorgeous, with season-appropriate colours, and is always lady-like and grown-up.  And this continues for the Fall/Winter 2013 season.  Shiny, sparkly embellished, many made with silk, abound in this collection, but unlike other designers, the pieces manage to stay within Ms. Herrera’s […]

BCBGMaxAzria Goes Grunge for Fall 2013

BCBGMaxAzria is heading back to the early 90s with the Fall/Winter 2013 collection.  Long loose tunics and dresses, accompanied with skinny jeans and sloppy styles gives off a grungy vibe, though definitely more updated.  The look is a little neater, more hipster, but definitely not for everyone.  Colour-wise, there is an emphasis once again, on […]

Some Delicious Lunar New Year Foods

The Lunar New Year is almost upon us.  In fact, the year of the snake starts this coming Sunday.  New Year foods can vary from region to region and from household to household.  There is jai, of course, eaten on the first day (and of which I discussed in further detail last year).  One thing […]

Bloggers Praise Certain Celebrities, Just Because?

Maybe it was just me, but during and after the Superbowl, practically every style blogger in North America was praising Beyonce’s performance.  Umm… really?  Was she THAT GOOD, performance wise?  Even the Destiny’s Child was pretty much expected.  And her costume wasn’t outstanding, either.  I’m sorry, but I’ve seen leather body suits before.  Besides, why […]
