The holidays aren’t here yet, but that’s no excuse for not adding a little shine to your daily routine; for flourishing festivity on an otherwise ordinary workday.
This Swarovski encrusted cuff slips on sensuously: It’s like accessorizing a snowflake in winter and a flower in summer.
I’d make it my sole accoutrement with an all-black ensemble fo […]

Kate Spade’s designs are about as classic as a rope of Coco Chanel’s pearls, Manolo Blahnik’s high heels, or an Etro square scarf; so I love her book called Style for its simple tips that seem so obvious, but are missed everyday by so many women.
Within the pages of Style, Spade details how she came […]

I’m the anti-bling-bling girl – as far from Beyonce as you get (curves included), –mostly every piece of my wardrobe wears classic, whether black leather or camel cashmere.
Until today.
Suddenly I’ve developed an eye for ice shine, and by that I don’t mean icicles and snow. I refer to the beautiful triangular treats decorating the toes of […]

Weather is in Canada is getting super cold, super fast. Thanksgiving was so humid, and only weeks later that same humidity has turned to dampness.
Not that I’m complaining.
I love fall for its ferocious winds, it’s falling leaves, and it’s harvest colour-scheme. And above that, I love dressing for fall.
What could be better than bundling up in a […]

Everyone who knows me knows I’m all about Target’s GO Designer collections: First Stella, then Proenza Schouler, now Alice Temperley.
I’ve loved Temperley’s whimsical designs since I first discovered them on Net-A-Porter, and now that she’s designing for girls on a budget, it’s possible to own the entire — low-cost, high-quality — collection.
Think her GO designs […]

Usually I’ve an inkling to skip over any of Marc-y Marc’s artsy and dramatic shoes, but these peep-toes are adorbale, no?
Italian leather on a catty cone heel, complete with this season’s peep-toes to showcase whatever tights you may or may not be wearing –
these shoes are classic –
they’re well worth the 30% off sale sticker […]

Just when I thought I was over trapeze-style swing jackets and sweaters —
J-Lo trying to hide her baby bump, or an Olsen twin trying to look twenty pounds heavier, —
this double-breasted, notched collar swing jacket by Revue made me look — and think — twice.
Available in both a butter yellow and classic black, I adore […]

The last time I styled equestrian I was five years old, dancing circles around a quarter horse while wearing jodphurs, boots, and a navy blazer.
And while jodphurs have made a comeback on the runways for Spring/Summer 08, I wouldn’t place a bet on my sweet self ever wearing them again.
But I can see myself pulling together an elegant […]

Shiny black leather that’s almost patent, but not quite for an equestrian classic feel.
Gucci quality and comfort that wears like it’s a part of you — toned, fit, effortlessly elegant.
A four and a quarter inch platform heel that prevents skids and slips in rain and snow.
Falling in love, Italian style.
Gucci Skate High Heel Platform Boot, […]

By no means am I a Juicy girl.
Typically I shy away from their bright sweats, ”juicy” emblazoned across the arse; Juicy chinchy-chic handbags, and –
Juicy double-duty dog perfume.
But I adore this chunky tunic sweater for its unique shape, cowl neck, and cable-knit pattern.
All practicality over tights or jeans, and at almost half its original price, wearing it you’d never know it […]

LOVE this book.
Though not as orderly or thorough as some fashion history books, Winifred Gallagher does a stellar job of looking at the handbag through a pair of Tom Ford shades from a variety of perspectives.
She includes fun and thoughtful interviews with style gurus like Candy Pratts-Price and Ellen Goldstein-Lynch, asking questions that I’d personally probe given […]
