Warm Tones, Feminininity and a Sleek Presentation at Nanette Lepore

Unlike other designers, Nanette Lepore’s models did not look like walking trees or bushes with dark leaves – few of the models were bulked up with big, round layers on top, while wearing sleek, form-fitting skirts or pants.  Many of the shows, especially from designers who target younger market featured this kind of styling – […]

Casual Dresses and Skirts for Warm Weather Wear

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 […]

Pretty, Bright Colours at Nanette Lepore

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 […]

Wear Spring Colours NOW!

While winter is still settling, stores are already stocking up on spring 2012 styles.  Though those of us who live in colder climates can’t wear them just yet, it doesn’t mean that you can’t incorporate spring colours of pink, green and orange in your winter wardrobe!  Many sweaters, skirts and tops are all-season proof, and […]

Webitor’s Picks: Summer Dresses for Daytime and Less Formal Wear

It was really difficult to decide on one Webitor’s Pick this week, since summer dresses are a favourite of mine. In this part of the world, the upcoming long weekend (Victoria Day here in Canada and Memorial Day in the US the following week) signals the “unofficial start” of the summer, meaning that we’re heading […]

Cool, Vibrant Wintery Whites and Teals at Nanette Lepore

Cynthia Cheng Mintz Winter whites opened Nanette Lepore‘s Fall/Winter collection with brilliant shine, giving off a cool, yet confortable feel.  With soft, flowing fabrics, there was a feeling of a beautiful winter wonderland which was emphasized even on the models’ legs with white tights.   Later pieces included some greys, blacks as well as teals towards the end of the […]

A Poised Woman is the Envied Woman

Christopher Massardo Martha Kunst of Ottawa’s  Poised Boutique is a woman who means business! That saying is fairly common with the entrepreneurial world, what is different though is the serious but not over aggressive approach to this business woman’s tactics and her out look on this crazy fashion world. Kunst started as a fashion buyer for […]
