WMCFW Yays, Nays & Mehs: Spring/Summer 2016 Edition
Yes, back again with my wrap of World MasterCard Fashion Week. And due to a crazy schedule, I did not attend many shows this season either (or, at least, not as many as I could have). Yays: Star Wars: Loved the R2D2 shoes on display. The Force is definitely with us. Press and Buyers’ […]
Rachel Sin Does it Again with #StayGold
So the collection only featured two gold pieces, but Rachel Sin’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection once again features simple, yet elegant classics. With basic black, grey and white shades as well as yellow, orange and coral, the collection is perfect for many occasions, including date night, brunch with “the girls” and even the office (provided that […]
Going on a Mediterranean Vacation with Pink Tartan
Inspired by the Catalan region of Spain, the Pink Tartan’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection is filled with bright, casual pieces that give off the vibe of a fun vacation abroad. There’s something old fashioned – perhaps taking people back to a time when air travel was a luxury – yet modern at the same time. Though […]
Justin Trudeau, His Looks and the Media
Yes, he’s a hottie, but yesterday, many publications, especially those catering to women, emphasized on Justin Trudeau’s appearance. Why? Why aren’t we focusing on his policies and what he and his government plan for the country (and how it could impact internationally)? He might be a family legacy, and has a so-called “perfect” family, but […]
Delicate, Floral Looks at Mikhael Kale
The first day of World MasterCard Fashion Week included designers such as Matthew Gallagher and Sid Neigum. However, I would have to say that the most interesting collection came from Mikhael Kale. For Spring/Summer 2016, his pieces had, as a press release put it, “a delicate, yet highly ornate” look with an “elegant seasonal transition […]

Petites at J. Crew Brick and Mortar Stores!
Well, at Yorkdale and the Eaton Centre in Toronto, anyway. I am unsure about petite availability in other cities. While the collection is very small (for example, only two washes in the Toothpick jean, perhaps three style of dresses and a handful of Tippi sweaters were among the pieces available). We shorter women no longer […]
