"A woman can be over dressed, but never over...
40 years after her passing, these words of wisdom can still be applied today…And not only her words but her classic tailleur (woman’s suit) have made it’s way into this 21st century of ours. This trend, has probably had one of the longest lives in the fashion world w/out any “breaks”. Because unlike most fashion trends such as: wide legg jeans, leather pants, fur...

I’ve come to the conclusion that virtually receiving updates on “New Collection” is NOT the best way to survive a year abroad. All those straight-to-your-email updates on new stock, or what’s “in” this season… I guess the websites that don’t have an online store to shop at, are the less tempting ones since your lazy ass will most likely not make one...

Little White Dress?
Question mark is not a typo. Just thought I’d make a quick postyyy about the L.W.D after a lovely conversation with my dazzling friend Jessicah. What’s this new ‘trend’ for Spring 2010…They’re advertising it as the spring-versions L.B.D. A quick and easy way to make you think, hmmm I don’t have one of those in my closet! Because most of us don’t -...
"Vintage me up doll!"
Vintage… definitely something I’ve started to appreciate since I’ve been in France. The variety of precious items, ranging from clothing/shoes to authentic jewelery, that may have been previously owned by your nana (a.k.a. grandma). Usually unique items that have been dugg up from an old woman’s closet, and is still in mint shape. Full bodied and detailed, these pieces are...

Get the Look for Less?
Vanessa Hudgens in a peach Zac Posen dress, black Linea Pelle belt, Camille Skovsgaard sandals, and orange Nancy Gonzalez clutch. Designers. Yves Saint-Laurent, Marc Jacobs, Burberry Prorsum…What is so great about them? Why do they think they can price point their designs at such a high level that sometimes only the rich & famous can afford? I’m not hating. On the contrary - while...

Mannequin me crazy!
Soon after this sale craze blows over , we will be seeing the new 2010 Spring window displays in some of our favourite shops! Visual Presentation - the more formal term of the art we see in window displays. Many brand name, mid-high end stores spend quite some time & money on their seasonal window displays. Some go as far as hiring a Visual Presentation employee that is responsible and...

Let's continue the talk about SALE!
I believe that this topic should be revisited for this single reason: I am a victim. Well, looks like I’m already making progress by admitting it! Basically, I had a few things to pick up at the Commercial Centre and I figured I would take a look and see if a pair of heels that I was dying to buy had POSSIBLY been one of the items marked down in San Marina full of…not just yellow and...
Let's talk about SALE baby;)
SALE SALE SALE! It truly is a LoveHate relationship. I mean really, the whole idea of a sale is wonderful because you get all the things you might have put off getting due to the expensive price, at a very very affordable (even sometimes cheap) price. So that’s why we LOVE sales…but where does the hate part of the relationship come in? Well reality is, you see the big, HUGE, yellow or...
