Fashion and Style

The Lazy Fashionista

November 4, 2009

When you are a self-proclaimed style expert, you are supposed to walk the walk and talk the talk and practice what you preach.  It would not do, for example, for me to wear rubber flip flops on the street after my post about Style Do's and Don'ts.  But I have a confession to make: I [...]

Inspired By Eva Mendes…The Girl Knows How to Wear a Dress

October 29, 2009

Whatever you want to say about Eva Mendes' acting skills, go ahead.  But the girl knows how to wear a dress.  From Yves St. Laurent, to Oscar de la Renta to Calvin Klein, she wears them all and wears them well.  What can we learn from her?  Work with your body type!  Eva plays up [...]

Wear This: My New Column

October 28, 2009

Exciting news!  I recently started writing a weekly column in t.o.night, Toronto's new free daily afternoon paper.  It is a style column called Wear This and every week I will be writing about style trends in both fashion and beauty.  It has always been a secret dream of mine to write a column (sorry to [...]

Now is the Perfect Time to…

October 22, 2009

...go for a walk with your sister (or Mom or close friend).  Take advantage of a crisp sunny day, bundle up in a sweater or a fall coat, and throw on your shades and a big cozy scarf.  Catch up on life, make plans for the holidays, inspire each other to get moving on plans [...]

Inspired By: Margherita Missoni

September 24, 2009

I have always thought Margherita Missoni is perfectly lovely.  I can't tell you too much about her other than that she is the daughter of Angela Missoni, the Creative Director for the legendary knit company Missoni, and that she is a socialite and student living in NY.  But I do love her personal style.  Despite [...]

The Under $200 Handbag Challenge

September 9, 2009

My friend Shaireen recently asked me for help searching for a great handbag for under $200 (sorry Shlu for taking so long - I hope you haven't already bought one!).  It was no easy feat, let me tell you.  What I found is that in order to find a solid handbag under $200 you may [...]

Ruching and Ruffles

August 15, 2009

I love a good ruffle (no, not the potato chip).  A carefully placed ruffle can take a plain cardigan or LBD and make it something special.  Ruching, the ruffles distant cousin (I just made that up) is a fantastic way to hide anything you might want to, while highlighting the shape of your body.  The [...]

Shopping the Summer Sales

July 9, 2009

There are some amazing sales going on right now.  It is tempting to run buck wild and snap up every fluttery, summery, lovely dress out there!  But I want clothes with longevity.  Clothes that will transition from summer into fall in the most effortless way.  So when I hit the shops with my sister last [...]

Goop – Love It or Leave It?

May 12, 2009

 
When news of Gwyneth Paltrow's new e-newsletter broke, I admit I was skeptical.  Alright, to be honest, the conversation with my sister went something like this: 
Me: I don't know about Gwyneth Paltrow's website.  Who is she to tell people what to do, make, get, see and do?  
My Sister:  You're just jealous
Me: Whatever! No I'm [...]

Inspired by Anna Sui

May 8, 2009

I have long been a fan of Anna Sui's designs so I was excited to read that she would soon be doing a collection for Target (we have to wait until September for it, unfortunately).  Anna is famously known for her Genius File - a collection of magazine clippings she has amassed over the years [...]
