Besides colour-blocking, the 2008 spring/summer season sees a lot of bright colours paired with understated neutrals. With a few neutral pieces acting as staples in your wardrobe, styling classic chic has never been so easy!
This colour-blocked skirt by Banana Republic is an essential A-line style. Coloured deep carob brown with a thick white band around the hem, […]

Dressing right for this spring and summer is all about including some tribal influences and safari style in your wardrobe. 2008’s classic uniform includes anything done in a crisp khaki — jackets, shirt dresses, or skirts – cinched with a fabulous skinny belt in a bright colour. I’m loving khaki skirts that hit just above the knee, done in a […]

Before I discovered Toronto designer Jay Godfrey’s darling designs, I thought ombré was just a modernized tye-dye — overdone and ugly, — but now the cascading colour-block technique is really growing on me.
From shirts and shoes to bags and bohéme-like scarves, I’ve compiled my top ombré trend list over on ThisNext.
Do check it out and […]

Blame it on the January thaw, but I am loving all things yellow. Could I be craving spring weather to slip into some of these vibrantly coloured clothes?
Obviously.
While lemon yellow doesn’t suit fair-skinned women, and butter yellow doesn’t wear well on raven-haired women, I’m convinced there is a shade of this sunshine-inspired colour out there […]

Save a glammy holiday party, I’m not sure where I’d wear a full-out sequined mini.
Good thing the holidays are here.
Compare this sequined mini from ASOS to one by Theory at Neiman Marcus. Though Theory is one of my favourite brands as far as quality is concerned, I much prefer flashy silver sequins to subdued deep copper. If […]

While Alice Temperley is the latest (and in my opinion, the greatest, since Stella) of Target’s GO Designers, I am loving some of the last-minute clearance items from Libertine.
All preppy-casual with a dash of nautical charm, these are classic pieces that can still get some wear this season, and that will still be right on next Spring.
1. […]

It’s a fact: Post-August temperatures taper off and dip below leg-baring levels if you live anywhere that’s not sunny So-Cal, but that’s no excuse for not owning — and sporting — at least one mini skirt this season. How convenient for you that I should choose three favourites to feature. Pair with tights and sky-high platforms […]

Less of a 50s-inspired cinched waist and more of a 70s-feel natural waist, high waisted pants are currently being seen on a slew of celebrities and featured on every runway. And why not? Even a medium rise does more for a woman’s figure than an ultra-low-low-rise ever could [EXAMPLE: Britney Spears, pre-shaved head.]
1. Accessorize and […]

Besides the fact that it blossoms out like a beautiful spring flower, there are several reasons this sweet skirt by Peter Som caught my eye:
It boasts convenient, invisible pockets (even if they were all the rage two seasons past);
It boasts a steady, sturdy blend of cotton and spandex in a pinwale pique (for minimum fade […]
