I like much of the collection, especially the pairing of the dresses with tall boots (this style is pretty much all I wear in the winter. Glad to see that I won’t look out of place next year – lol). Most of the skirt lengths are above the knee, which means that they’d be right […]
Some may call Hervé Léger by Max Azria the same old, season after season. After all, bandage dresses are bandage dresses, right? Wrong! The Fall/Winter collection was definitely something. From warrior and equestrian-inspired pieces on dresses to fringes and a not-so subtle sophisticated biker look, the collection is definitely on the wish lists of many […]
Rebecca Minkoff’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection was all about the bling without going too far. The collection consisted of a wide range of different looks, ranging from biker jackets to blazers, ankle-length pants, mini-dresses and winter shorts, models strutted down with the runway to a live performance with confidence reminiscent of the supermodel era of the […]
So New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week started yesterday, presenting collections for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2012 season. As with previous seasons, many of the shows were streamed online, including BCBGMaxAzria. Though I really like the colour blocking, palette and found the designs to be better than past seasons, the skirt lengths, as usual, were really more […]
Valentine’s Day is on Tuesday so I’ve created the perfect dessert for a romantic dinner. My lemon sabayon, served in a martini glass over a layer of cranberry coulis and finished with a spongy lady finger, is not only pleasing to the eye, but packs a big punch of flavor without making you feel weighed […]
I am actually okay with the upcoming Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection. This is pleasantly surprising as the past few seasons haven’t been that great. The fall collection is full of neutrals, with oranges continuing to be dominant. Colour-blocking is strong as well, but it’s toned down a bit for the cooler season. Two pieces of criticism […]
Valentine’s Day is less than a week away, and for those of us who’re staying in, there’s no reason why you can’t celebrate, even if you don’t have a date! Forget take-out or ice cream! Love yourself and treat yourself to a nice, quick healthy meal. This one pot dinner with salmon, bulgur and spinach […]
I’m writing a post today for August McLaughlin’s Beauty of a Woman Blogfest. I have another post up at Shorty Stories about my embracing my height, while on this site, I’m going to specifically talk about my feet. Most of you know I have tiny feet. Size 5 US, sometimes 4 1/2 and for a […]
I’m shorter than my mother. This is a rarity, especially for first generation Canadians with immigrant parents. You’re pretty much expected to be taller than your mom. When I was a little girl, I expected to be around 5’6″ or 5’7″ – one to two inches TALLER than mom. Never happened. I reached my current […]
The Fall/Winter 2012 collections will be presented between February 9 and 16. Once again, many designers will be streaming their shows online so that those of us who can’t be in New York will be able to watch. Online shows, which include BCBGMaxAzria, Rebecca Minkoff, Carolina Herrera and Badgely Mischka will be streamed on the […]
