Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Style Icon: Poppy Delevingne
April 29th, 2013
While her younger sister Cara has been receiving lots of accolades in the press, British model and it-girl Poppy Delevingne still reigns street style blogs, topping best dressed lists for her impeccable balance of classic style with a bohemian rocker edge. When the 26-year-old BFC ambassador isn’t behind the camera, she’s sitting front row, playing style muse to the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs and Matthew Williamson.
Poppy’s looks are quite versatile, but she favours femi Read More...
Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Road Trip Gear
April 29th, 2013
The summer road trip is a rite of passage that we all should take at least once in our lives. It’s a chance to roll down the windows, listen to our favourite band and of course, explore our great nation. The key to a successful road trip is not only a full tank of gas, but also the right gear to keep you comfortable through the long stretches of driving. Some necessities you should pack include a comfortable pair of sneakers, loose shorts, a cool summer dress and a wrinkle free shirt tha Read More...
Calgary Fashion Jobs – Beads Galore
April 25th, 2013
When summer time rolls around, I find that everyone tends to get a little Mediterranean, especially now that the bohemian trend has marked its territory in the fashion world. We’ve seen the braids, the maxi skirts, the head pieces, and now beaded clothing.
Beading is a huge part of Mediterranean culture, it adds a touch of whimsy and makes a piece more interesting to look at. This past fashion week season, many collections featured some beading accents. From H&M to Valentino, Read More...
Fashion Jobs – Jessica Alba’s First Book: The Honest Life
April 25th, 2013
After starting up “The Honest Company” in 2012, selling natural and eco-friendly home and beauty products, Jessica Alba couldn’t stop there. Her questions regarding the truth about daily products we use on a continual basis become harder to push away, after a few harsh reactions to things as simple as laundry detergent. After her first, and later second, daughter, Jessica became passionate about a natural and sustainable lifestyle, providing a safe environment for her number one pr Read More...
Fashion Jobs – |FAT| Arts & Fashion Week 2013
April 24th, 2013
This week, art and fashion lovers will be getting together for a five day event that combines the very best of both these communities from Toronto and beyond the city. Now, going into its 8th year, |FAT| Arts & Fashion week was created by Vanja Vasic as a way to bring both a mainstream approach as well as an avant-garde approach to the fashion and art world.
Inspired from her travels to Europe, Vasic decided to organize both a fashion and arts multi-day event where people from all i Read More...
Montreal Fashion Jobs – East Coast Style
April 23rd, 2013
In response to last week’s post on west coast style, I’ve scoured the racks to find pieces that fit the aesthetic of the east coast girl. While west coasters thrive on undone glamour, our eastern counterparts are heavy on crisp classics. Looks are slightly more tailored, and put together – take a cue from style maven Olivia Palermo who never seems to get it wrong (don’t miss her video for the Outnet here.) While she exudes easy style, not unlike California girls Nicole Richie or Read More...

When you first walk into Viens avec Moi, there’s an immediate sense of coziness. The boutique isn’t just a store front; it’s a renovated house, with each separate room holding different items and trends. The clothes and the surroundings are beautiful, and the boutique boasts some of the best brands from around the world, but there’s also an important focus on local craftsmanship.

Toronto Fashion Jobs – Buttoned Up

Occasionally a relic of the straight-laced professional or a school girl’s uniform, a collared button-down blouse can add a fashion-forward edge to your work ensemble or a sophisticated touch to your date night outfit. Whether it’s with print, colour, sheer fabrics, or new shapes, the right details will turn a button-down blouse into a versatile piece that is sure to find a much-loved home in your closet.

Toronto Fashion Jobs – Avant-Garde Trends: Would You Wear Them?
April 18th, 2013
In the fashion world, there is something out there for everyone. Every season there are no trends and fads that will come and go and come back all over again. If one has the personality for it, what some may find over the top is actually someone else’s typical daily outfit. Over the past few years, certain pieces and ensembles have caught my attention with their outgoing designs. I wouldn’t be surprised if these have made their way into the closets of Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj.

Fashion Jobs – West Coast Style
April 16th, 2013
Us west coasters have a laid back persona and it reflects in our style. Given the mild, yet tempestuous climate of the Pacific Northwest – the sun is out one minute, and it’s raining the next - layering is key. We generally combine function and form for durability (you never know where you’ll end up outdoors!), so looks tend to be versatile and casual – a kind of undone glamour that’s less structured than our eastern counterparts. Think a mild tw Read More...
