Toronto Fashion Jobs – Spring Into Your Wardrobe

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013

It’s officially Spring and I can’t be more excited! Mixing bright colours into outfits inspired by the sunshine is what we’ve been waiting for since the beginning of fall. With that said, the transition from winter to springtime can be an adventurous period to play with different looks. The key word now is “layering.” My favourite way to reintroduce spring fashion into our everyday lives is layering those pieces with winter staples, because it’s still far too cold to sporting short dresses, however, by adding a cool leather jacket, tights and booties- it’s a whole different look you can get away with now. Another fun look to play with is rolling up boyfriend jeans with funky pumps and tops layered with warm winter cozy sweaters! Being practical and stylish can go hand and hand this time of year, so why not experiment and have a little fun?

Calgary Fashion Jobs – Chalet Chic

Embrace a Nordic winter this year to let your inner snow bunny shine. Even if you’re not hanging out on the slopes this season the conditions are perfect for sporting après ski’s alpine look with Fair Isle prints to keep you chalet chic all season long. Fair Isle is the traditional use of multicoloured patterns and geometric designs in knitwear than can range in everything from Intarsia sweaters to leggings and cool outwear to scarves and gloves. This classic and festive wintery pattern isn’t just reserved for high altitudes and ski hills as urbanites are encouraged to give their cold-weather wardrobes an Aspen worthy makeover to fight the city chill. For black diamond level style, pile up on just the right mix of chunky knits, luxe layers, rich textures, furry accents and cozy woolen extras for best results. So suit up and avoid cabin fever this season by heating up winter’s frosty chill with Fair Isle’s après ski chalet chic inspiration.

Calgary Fashion Jobs – Cottage Country Packing List

Sunday, August 5th, 2012

 

Keep things simple when packing for a weekend getaway and focus on building a variety of outfits with as few pieces as possible. Bring a tunic that can work with shorts and as a beach cover up. Layering is key, so a sweater and light jacket are must-haves for cool summer nights. Pack at least one dress that can be worn day or night with different accessories, depending on the occasion, and no lakeside escape would be complete without fun, flirty bikini.

1. Hazel Embroidered Chiffon Tunic, $119, available at Urban Outfitters
2. American Eagle Outfitters Denim Boyfit Midi Short, $40
3. J. Crew Classic Merino Long Cardigan, $103

Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Vacation Time

Friday, March 30th, 2012

Going on Vacay? Here’s what you should bring (Tropical Edition!)

Traveling this spring/summer? Sometimes we all get a little anxiety over what to pack and what outfits we’re going to wear! If you’re going to a resort, the items below are what you need, no more, no less! Stop stressing about it, I even created outfits for you! Always pack versatile pieces. The embroidered chiffon dress in a bright coral is perfect for dressing up or down, and you can even layer a pullover over top to make it look like a skirt. Also, it’s easy to pack, and if it wrinkles it’s not noticeable (chiffon is easy to get wrinkles out of too!) Bring a comfortable flat sandal, and a dressier wedge sandal to take your look from day to night, and always remember to bring a tote beach bag, but also a cute bag to take if you do some sight-seeing in town. Another versatile piece that I adore is the wrap bracelet, it’s one long strand which means you can wear it as a necklace too!

Toronto Fashion Jobs – Feminine Elegance

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

As we were considering the idea of ladylike style, a handful of associations immediately came to mind. Some referenced history (pristine white gloves, restricting undergarments, slim-silhouettes and modest hemlines) and others the most talked about TV shows (Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire and Downton Abbey). Meanwhile on the spring runways we saw Alexander McQueen and Dolce & Gabanna channel their ladylike interpretations with a colour scheme of sweet peachy hues, pretty pinks and champagnes. Inspire your own wardrobe with handbags, cardigans, dresses and pumps finished with girly trims of bows, lace, peplums and ruffles.

Toronto Fashion Jobs – Mod About You

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

What do Twiggy, Edie Sedgwick and Foxy Brown (We’re talking Beyonce in her Austin Powers garb) have in common? Not only are they mod style icons but they can also work a killer frock!

The sixties are back this fall and it’s groovy baby! Think short straight-lined dresses, cute tunics, swing coats, minis and tall boots. Key elements are bold colours, geometric prints and big buttons. Don’t forget to complete the look with some over-the-top black eye makeup.

The times were all about being fun and fabulous. In our opinion, that kind of mentality should never go out of style! So let these looks inspire you to free your inner mod girl. You might even find yourself shimmying along to the Beatles’ “Twist and Shout”.
