I try to avoid buying black or charcoal coats. When everyone has a similar coloured coat, you just blend in with the rest. Besides, winter’s cold and it gets dark early, so why do you want to…disappear? One reason why I try to look for brighter colours (or at least, not something dark) when I’m […]
I was very glad to see the latest IFB challenge (#115!!), which asked posters to share a plaid look. In the 90s, I had tons of plaid – it was the “thing” to wear in my earlier teens, after all. It then all died down and it either went deep in my closet or disappeared […]
Many of us here in Toronto are too busy covering TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) to really write about New York Fashion Week, but I’ve decided to juggle both and post this piece about the Hervé Léger Spring/Summer 2014 collection.

Though it’s still fairly warm in Toronto – this week’s weather will be in the mid 20s C – projected temperatures over the next couple of weeks will drop down to the mid to high teens. Though not cool enough for boots just […]
A girl can never have too much black (or lip gloss), in my opinion. And that has definitely been the case, historically speaking, when you take a peek into my closet. Though over the past year or so, I’ve been adding more colour, many of my favourites, especially in cooler months, have been black. On […]
I’m not a big fan of strong, bold lip colour – probably influenced by strict no make-up dress codes in high school. I keep my face fairly bare, often just wearing sunscreen, primer and a bit of mascara and lip colour. So, for IFB’s 108th Project, which asks us about our favourite lipsticks, I decided […]
