Wang for Balenciaga
Wang has given us a teaser of his first campaign for Balenciaga as their creative director. This imagine, shot by fashion photographer, Steven Klein, for the Fall/Winter 2013 campaign comes off as very deep and emotional. Wang wanted the campaign to be “cinematic” and he said that model, Kristen McMenamy’s face is hidden so all attention is focused on the details in the...

Boyfriend Jeans + A Tee
Tee Apt 606 |Jeans Paige Denim | Necklace Love of Mine | Booties Steve Madden
The best way to stay comfortable this Spring? Boyfriend jeans. I could live in this pair from Paige Denim, that’s how comfortable they are. Pair them with a graphic tee [I love how busy this one from Apt 606 is] and some accessories and you are good to go. Invest in a distressed pair and cuff them at the...

Garter Tee vs. Ms Hyde
Way back in December, 10th Tribe revealed to the world their most recent creation, The Garter Tee. Hearts swooned over this piece [for good reason], and they even brought it back a second time around for those who missed out the first. Well, the company has now added a twist to their first design and is introducing to us, Ms Hyde [available for pre-order now]. This time around there are no...

Hey there 'handsome girl'!
If you have the slightest interest in fashion and reside in Toronto, chances are that you have heard of [or are obsessed with] the brand Chloé Comme Parris. Unless you live under a rock of course. Sister duo, Chloé and Parris Gordon, are the brains behind this downtown grunge clothing line, that was talked about for days before it’s most recent show at Toronto Fashion Week. Pairing patterned...

Kate Bosworth + Topshop
Ever since she sang in their Holiday film, Kate Bosworth has been high on Topshop’s radar. In the past four months she has been to numerous store openings and runway shows for the massive British retailer. Rumours began circulating several weeks ago that there may be a collaboration in the works, but Kate hinted towards something a little different while at Coachella this past weekend. While...

Seeking Love. Finding Overalls.
Not too sure what your Monday night consisted of, but mine had one purpose, and one purpose only. That was to place a long anticipated pre-order for a book written by one very talented young woman and blogger, Leandra Medine. Most of you probably know her as ‘The Man Repeller’. The down-to-earth and hilarious woman who can make a pair of overalls look like gold. Medine has given hope...

Happy Thursday!
Spring weather is one of my favourites. Sunshine, fresh air, and layers upon layers. This Thursday was a good one, so I layered an Alexander Wang long sleeve with a fur vest, and then threw on a pair of dark wash J Brand jeans. Add some jewelry, including my HRH bracelet [find similar here], and I was good to go. As long as the sunshine stays, I’m happy xo

Target + Canada = Match Made in Heaven
I always get excited when new stores open in Toronto, but nothing was comparable to the excitement I felt when I first heard last year that Target was coming to Canada. In March there were 24 soft opens in the Ontario this month.. unbelievable.
Last Wednesday, the company hosted an opening event in Toronto, complete with candy stations, video dances, oysters, and a beauty station. I guarantee...

There is always a celebration to be had, and tonight’s is going to be a good one. Presented by The Coveteur, Thomas Neary & Belvedere...

Friend of Mine
Lately I have been on the hunt for new brands and clothing lines. My search has been nothing short of successful, as I have stumbled upon numerous clothing companies around the world with some really awesome custom designed clothing. One of my favourites is a women’s clothing label, Friend of Mine, founded by two Australian designers, Teale Talbot and Letitia Mclean. These ladies are on top...

WatchBehind the scenes of Elle Canada’s April fashion shoot in Mexico. The photos for this shoot have got to be stunning as the leather pieces looked amazing in this tropical setting. It’s all about leather this Spring and Summer, and I couldn’t be happier about it. The green leather ensemble that you see as Amanda Laine’s first outfit blew my mind. The leather looks so buttery...

Coco Chanel
Karl Lagerfeld recently revealed eleven sketches of the infamous Coco Chanel, that he had done anytime between 2005 and 2013. All of the sketches honor Coco Chanel’s iconic jacket. With some done in colour, and others in black and white, they each tell their own unique story. If I had to pick one favourite out of the eleven it would be the one below of Coco standing, facing the left. Simple,...

DKNY/OC
Soooooo, how about the DKNY for Opening Ceremony collection? They are taking casual wear to a whole new level with this one. The cool thing about this collab is that all of these pieces are recreations of looks from the early 90s [DKNY] runway. Hello, ‘91 pants? You are just screaming my name.
The black and white feel for this collection is definitely giving off some good 90s vibes....

Dear Canada
The day is here. As of today us Canadians can now take part in online shopping at Zara. I really couldn’t be happier. I have always been a major fan of Zara and their amazing clothing and deals, but I wasn’t as fond of the long change room and cash out lines. With the launch of their e-commerce site in Canada these troubles are gone! It’s now all about easy shopping, easy...

Chanel Goes Global
If I could use only one word to describe the Chanel Fall-Winter 2013 ready-to-wear collection, it would be powerful. I would never expect anything less from Lagerfeld as his shows are always mind-blowing, but this one in particular really emphasized on how strong of a presence Chanel has in the fashion world. Sitting in the middle of the circular [yeah, that’s right, circular] runway was a...

My jaw dropped when I saw this FW 2013 collection by Ann Demeulemeester [See Visvim be the sneaker, Lanvin, or Balmain]. Black, white, sheer, leather, and layers. Say. My. Name. I love how none of the pieces are form fitting and I am absolutely obsessed with the top closure of the coats and capes. What better way to show off your outfit underneath? There are so many different styles incorporated...

Are you hopping on the Vine train? Or do you not even know what Vine is? Claimed to be “the best way to see and share life in motion”, Vine is a new social media network that uses videos instead of photos to share day-to-day experiences. The idea is to loop several videos together in a ‘Vine’ [get it, get it?] to let everyone know what you are up to.
I first heard...

Queen Bey & King Bey. They're Taking Over.
Looks like I’m on quite the Beyonce train lately with all my posts. One would think I’m obsessing over her. But I mean, who isn’t right? Especially since her Super Bowl performance it’s been ‘All hail Queen Bey!’ But wait a minute. What about KING Bey? Yeah you heard me, King Bey.
The lucky ‘fella’ who gets to rep this name is a custom designed...

Life Is But A Dream
I couldn’t have said it better myself Bey. Life is but a dream.
On Monday night I watched Beyonce’s newest documentary, appropriately named, Life Is But A Dream. The documentary focuses on her branching out into her solo career and firing her father who, at the time, was her manager. I absolutely loved every minute of the documentary. It’s amazing to get a look into the life...

Behind the Scenes at VB
A look into the behind the scenes action at Victoria Beckham’s AW RTW 2013 show at New York Fashion Week. I couldn’t be more obsessed with the vibrant blue colours, or the structured pieces in this collection. Everything is perfect. Victoria veered away from her usual extremely feminine designs with this collection, and added a little bit of a masculine feel to things. Way to hit the...
