This post is a long time coming as some of the purchases came over two weeks ago! Since I signed up for the flash sale site, Peacock Parade back in the fall, I had mostly been buying dresses. Lately, it has been tops – ones that I can wear into spring and even summer. The […]
I saw a Tweet from @hmusa recently about the fact that the plus department in the US is rebranding from Big & Beautiful to the more appropriate H&M+ name. Sizes this department will carry will range between 14 and 24. While I knew that H&M had plus sizes, I can’t help but wonder if they’ll […]
What I love about Nanette Lepore is her constant use of bright, bold colours, no matter the season. There was very little black or grey and in general, the collections tend to arguably be predictable, but one can’t help but love the fact her use of colours just brighten up a dark winter day. There […]
Always with a touch of preppiness, Tory Burch’s Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection is no exception. Gorgeous deep reds and greens team up with blacks, greys and a touch of blue and shine for the upcoming season. Also included were the floral detailing found in many of the looks, something that is more often seen for spring […]
Wow, all I can say is WOW. Marc Jacobs’ Fall/Winter collection was definitely a production. With steps leading down to a raised, curved runway (set design by Rachel Feinstein), that some might say was inspired by Dr. Seuss, the presentation was definitely all out big, including the clothes themselves. Most interestingly was the music. For […]
If you haven’t seen the growth of interest in tea in Toronto, you must be living under a rock. From shops like David’s Tea to tea sommelier programs at schools like George Brown College and “designer” brands of teas, it’s definitely catching on by the mainstream. Container of Sloane Tea’s Heavenly Cream, one of their […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
