I spent the long weekend in my husband’s hometown of Ottawa, Ontario to attend a wedding of one of his school friends. Ottawa (capital of Canada, for those who aren’t familiar with Canadian politics and history) is a gorgeous city with a beautiful waterfront, exactly where the wedding ceremony was held. The ceremony was then […]
I don’t know about you, but for me, warm weather usually means spending more time wearing casual dresses and skirts. I have an obsession with BCBG’s jersey dresses – I have some that date back to 2003 or so – but of course, BCBG isn’t the only line I wear during the summer. Here are […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
With the holiday season in full swing, it’s time to think about what to wear to the various soirees you might be attending over the next few weeks. The standard go-to for most women is the little black dress. However, most women will be thinking the same thing, so you might see a sea of […]
Lou Lou Magazine’s Shop ‘Til You Drop held its Toronto event last night. Shoppers braved the on-and-off rain for the amazing with good discounts, delicious mini desserts at many of the stores and most of all, a great deal of fun! There were styling tips from Banana Republic and Winners (Winners had an emphasis on […]
One of my first stops in Montreal was to Très Chic Styling, an appointment-only clothing concept located on St-Laurent which sells designer clothing at reduced prices. Brands Très Chic Styling carry include BCBG, Hervé Légerr, Elizabeth and James, Tory Burch and more. There are also pieces from local Montreal designers. When I was there, they […]
Ever notice that BCBG’s runway collection looks very different from the “regular” pieces (suits, jersey dresses and evening gowns) sold at its own boutiques and department stores? The Spring-Summer collection is probably no different, and was, once again, more unique. Most of the dresses were at least tea length, asymetrical, with strappy, sleeveless or bare […]
