iPhone 6, iPhone 6Plus and the Apple Watch: Thoughts

So Apple announced three new devices yesterday, including the much-anticipated watch.  I’m pretty excited about these devices (I’m leaning towards the larger iPhone 6Plus right now), though a bit disappointed that the camera is remaining at 8 megapixels, while other phones have gone up to 12.  Of course, megapixels aren’t everything and the sensor in […]

Carolina Herrera: Ladylike and Graceful, as Usual

If I had all the money in the world, I would buy every single piece Carolina Herrera shows, every single season.  Sadly, I don’t have that kind of money for these very beautiful, lady-like looks, which are, as usual, gorgeous. For spring/summer 2015, cuts are a bit geometric – the first few looks featured cropped […]

Hervé Leger by Max Azria: Asian Gold!

Spring/Summer 2015 for Hervé Leger seems to mean East Asia and gold sequins, while at the same time, not moving away from the line’s signature bodycon looks.  The show started out with a few dresses that had short, but kimono-inspired sleeves which I liked (though it could be a little bit overwhelming on certain sizes), […]

BCBGMaxAzria: Soft, Flowy and Best of All, Petite-Friendly

…for the most part, anyway.  And perhaps they’ve heard enough complaints from people like yours truly!  Traditionally, the “runway collection” presented at New York Fashion Week was very artistic, and definitely not wearable by the vast majority.  However, the same can’t be said for the upcoming collection.  In fact, I have to admit that I’m […]

Travel in Style with FIG Clothing

The “backpacking year” is a particular rite of passage into adulthood that many young women embark on. This longstanding ritual requires this breed of traveller to forsake the creature comforts of home to venture off to some unknown land. Armed with little more than a cell phone, a half-decent roaming plan and just a few […]

Holt Renfrew Ottawa and Quebec City Closing

…and honestly, I’m not surprised.  At least not with the Ottawa closing (I have never been to the Quebec City store and am unfamiliar with the city, so I can’t really comment on population and demographics).  I have only been in the store once, and was very disappointed when I visited.  Not only was it […]

Shopping While Petite at Yorkdale: A Positive Thing

SWP.  Shopping While Petite.  It’s often a problem.  You. Just. Can’t. Find. Anything.  Well, that’s not ENTIRELY true – it’s just that you feel awful because everything is too long and at times, it doesn’t look like you can alter the outfits after purchase (or it will cost a fortune).  And, it’s hard to find […]

Skinny Jeans: Love it or Hate it?

Recently, Style Democracy posted an article on the skinny and how many women have mixed feelings about them (Refinery 29 has even gone as far as announcing its death).  I personally LOVE them (along with other forms of skinny pants), especially for winter.  Living in a city that gets snow, I really hate it when […]
