I think I’ve pretty much satisfied my top collection for the upcoming season – I have bought way too many. Two of my latest purchases came from Peacock Parade, one of Canada’s flash sale sites . The tops were originally listed as $360 and $295 were purchased at $129 and $89, excluding taxes and shipping, […]
On March 19 and March 20, four Canadian designers presented their Fall-Winter 2012 collects at the ShOws at the Ritz-Carlton, concept started by Pamela Fullerton for Canadian designers who’ve gone abroad to show back home. For the Fall-Winter 2012 season, designers presenting were: David Szeto, Ruffian, Jean-Pierre Braganza and Jeremy Laing. I was able to […]
Guess what? Petite fashionistas’ favourite petite-focused denim line, Allison Izu is hitting the big time. Nordstrom in Hawaii (not sure about mainland US locations) has taken notice of the jeans and will be selling three styles (the Chinatown Trouser in black (featured in Oprah Magazine), the NEW Chinatown in Dark Indigo Blue (only at Nordstrom […]
Right before going to the shows at Fashion Week last Wednesday, I made a pit stop to at a PR agency for a session with Essie Weingarten, founder of essie nail polish along with other fashion/beauty media in the city. Essie was involved with several Toronto Fashion Week shows, including Pink Tartan, Chloe comme Parris […]
Now that official Toronto Fashion Week has wrapped, it’s yet again, time to summarize what was good, what was so-so and what was well, not-so-good. This season, I am calling it A.I.N.I (Amazing, Interesting and Needs Improvement). As with last season, I loved the space. Having tents in the core of the city, close to […]
I decided to post my week’s worth of Fashion Week outfits in one post rather than separate “Outfit of the Day” articles that everyone else seemed to be doing. As usual, there was a lot of emphasis on wearing Canadian brands, so every day, I tried to incorporate at least ONE Canadian designer or brand […]
Arthur Mendonça’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection is one of the few that I’m absolutely in love with. From the salmon coloured, dolman sleeved dress to a long sleeved, turquoise gown with a centre slit, slim leather pants and shiny, patterned pieces, there’s something about the collection that is sophisticated, elegant and lady-like. While there are some […]
Day Five, the final day of Toronto Fashion Week was a good one with shows from the likes of Arthur Mendonça (some petite friendly pieces, with the right alterations), Joeffer Caoc and Travis Taddeo. Petites in attendance on the finale of the Fall/Winter 2012-2013 shows include: Anna Janelle Helen and Callie Harmonie Veronica and Natalie […]
It was another busy day at Toronto Fashion Week, featuring shows from Triarchy Brand (denim) and of course, the ever-popular Pink Tartan and the gorgeous, bird-influenced David Dixon (more on that over at DelectablyChic! soon) and many petites were at the tents for the shows, including: Sally Erica Katherine Ashley Emily Just one more day […]
Mercedes-Benz Start-Up finalist, Triarchy Brand showed their first collection at the Studio. This BC-based denim line opened the show with three models, two guys and a girl putting on a jeans from a pile of denim at the back of the runway – a little confusing at first. This was followed by the rest of […]
