…not even online! Ron White has received a lot of press lately about his line of oh-so-comfortable shoes, but I can’t wear them. The smallest size I could find at the boutique and online is a 35/5 and it wasn’t just a little bit too big, something that can be helped by insoles, but MUCH […]
A bit of Canada love here some of my latest purchases come from Canadian brands. The first two are dresses that I got from Homegrown Boutique, a store in Toronto’s Yorkville shopping district that features items from Canadian designers. The first was actually purchased back in the fall when I attended Homegrown Boutique’s Spring/Summer 2012 […]
Last month’s question asked you what percentage of your closet is made up of petite sizes. I was NOT surprised to find out that for many of you, it occupies a good chunk of your wardrobe. 33% of you said that petite sizing occupied 80% or more of your wardrobe (I guess this means there’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
Adrian Wu’s collection was called “The Hierarchy of Need.” Inspired by the movie V for Vendetta, all of the models who walked the runway wore Anonymous masks while wearing statue-like dresses with polka dots. There were some pieces that were at least a little bit wearable, including some maxi dresses. The set, which had […]
The very first show of the week was Lucian Matis, held at the Royal York Hotel. However, before the presentation, attendees were treated to a reception of sparkling wine and hors d’oeuvres (the food was not too bad, albeit a little on the brown side). One of the sponsors, Smashbox, was there to give lip […]
The Greta Constantine Fall/Winter 2012-2013 collection opened with a splash of colour – models in dresses in bright greens, blues, oranges and more strutted down the long L-shaped runway at the Arcadian Loft s before things went a little more goth with a high concentration of blacks (and a little bit of white). […]
Wesley Badanjak presented his Fall/Winter 2012 LOVAS collection at 99 Sudbury, along with the relaunch of BASCH on March 6, 2012. This marked the first BASCH presentation without Brandon Dwyer who, according to Toronto Life magazine, has left to work for a publication called Revive. The shows, which were presented at 99 Sudbury in the […]
