I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about Malorie Urbanovitch’s upcoming collection as the first few pieces were presented – they were fairly dark in colour, ranging mostly navies and burnt oranges. It screamed fall/winter. Not to mention, many were knits, albeit lightweight. However, as the show progressed, the looks became more and more […]
The theme for Rachel Sin’s show is “The Urban Jetsetter” and unlike other presentations, two seasons were shown at once. Typically during Fashion Week, pieces seen on the runway are for the upcoming season. Instead, the designer is showing both items currently available as well as next season! The fall pieces, presented first under the […]
The press release may note that the upcoming season’s looks for Narces is inspired by the Victorian age and birdcages, but that’s not all it is. In fact, without the media alert, the birdcage look would not even have crossed my mind! Instead, I was thinking the ballerina – at least for the shorter pieces. […]
…and also wins this year’s Mercedes-Benz Startup (MBStartup)! Sid first showed his entire Spring/Summer 2015 collection, which according to the press release is “based on packaging design. It’s about transforming two dimensional to three dimensional; achieved through laser cutting and mathematical pattern design” followed by a condensed version at the MBStartup presentation along with five […]
Before this past summer, I never really considered the GEOX brand! I don’t know why I never thought of them – perhaps it was because never really promoted in the petite blogging community, despite offering smaller sizes in their basics (they go down to size 4 for many styles) – but I’m glad I did. […]
The 11th White Cashmere fashion show featuring couture dresses (and suits – there was one outfit created for men) made out of Cashmere bathroom tissue and created by Canada’s top designers was held at The Carlu on September 30, just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year, the designers were hand picked by […]
I’ve meant to post these for a while, but other events, such as Diner en Blanc and New York Fashion Week have taken priority. But now that it’s officially fall, I really should post something on one of my favourite fall/winter staples – the sweater dress. I think I have at least three or four […]
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to speak with trendy, New York-based designer Nili Lotan. Ms. Lotan’s pieces, often celebrity favourites, target a sophisticated woman who is not only looking for classic, long-lasting style, but also comfort. The current Fall/Winter collection is filled with loose, comfortable pieces that pair well with skinnies or leggings and […]
The article about Bayview Village Shopping Centre over at Retail Insider inspired me to write about the mall from my own perspective. The mall, located at Bayview and Sheppard, has a special place in my heart because I grew up in the area and can proudly say that I’ve been going there since BEFORE I […]
Mad Men may be ending in 2015, but it hasn’t stopped Michael Kors from taking us back in time. And we aren’t going to 1969, either. Instead, we are being taken back to the earliest seasons, to when Don and Betty were still together, when people were dressed up by our standards – even when […]
