Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Chic Investments

Sunday, February 24th, 2013

Several of my close friends are embarking on new and exciting chapters in their life like marriage, babies and new careers, and are finding it super important to invest in the right fashion pieces that will last the test of time without cracking the nest egg to do so. I am constantly asked what are key items to splurge for and what to pass on. Today’s fashion is ever evolving and heavily rooted in trends that can pass in a blink of an eye, so I suggest going with chic classics from reputable retailers.

No matter what the season, you’re always going to need a practical coat, and yes this still can be fashionable, but remember one of the major factors to a favorite article of clothing lasting the test of time is colour and design. Step outside the comfort zone of black and venture into a shade of navy, tan, military green, or grey in a classic trench that has the versatility of a detachable-hood or the ability to roll up the sleeves in warmer months. Other great pieces to invest in include a multipurpose handbag like Marc by Marc Jacobs Too Hot To Handle Tote that is functional for day, evening and even as a diaper bag. A structured business suit that can be worn as separates also allowing the blazer to be styled with denim for a casual day with the girls or the trousers to pair perfectly with a flowy blouse for date night. Last but certainly not least, and probably one of the items we often forget to splurge on is a good fitting bra and panties set, we all know the ladies deserve to be handled with care, and a good support system brings your whole look together and can properly smooth lines and give you comfort in anything you choose to wear in between these chic investments.

1. Zara Double Breasted Raincoat, $119
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs Too Hot To Handle Tote in Cardamom, $528
3. Banana Republic Pant-suit in Blue lightweight wool, $240
4. La Perla Donna Elenora Push-up Bra, $295

Montreal Fashion Jobs – The Gentleman’s Style Guide: First Date Edition

Tuesday, January 29th, 2013

Let’s get serious guys, when it comes to first date jitters you can relax and let your personality shine, we here at Style Nine To Five have got you covered when it comes to what-to-wear. Step 1: Don’t over think it. You never want to be overdressed on a first date, but you also don’t want to be underdressed either. Dress for comfort, and make sure your shirts are pressed, your jeans are washed; as is your hair! Step 2: Trust your gut and disregard everything your roommate tells you! He probably doesn’t even own a clean pair of socks that match. Wear what feels comfortable to you, but take certain style cues from guys in the public eye like Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling who are regularly on the best-dressed lists and truly know how to wear the basics. Crew necks in black, or charcoal grey are a great staple and pair perfectly with a classic pair of indigo denim. Effortless style and a winning personality are what are going to give you points this first time around. Step 3: The most important of all – Don’t forget your smile, it’s your best accessory.

Montreal Fashion Jobs – Head Case

Thursday, January 24th, 2013

Personally, there’s nothing worse during the cold winter months than having cold ears! This season I made it my mission to not only stay warm, but also look fashionable while walking my dog. I even had a friend knit me a turban headband for Christmas and got back an old pair of rabbit fur earmuffs I had leant to a friend a few cold winters back. Some people may say they look silly, but they are more than welcome to freeze in their boots, while we all stay warm and look effortlessly chic at the same time. Try any of these cool trends to stay hot this year!

1. Vicki Colorblock Trapper, $68, available at Anthropologie
2. Coal Taylor Beanie Hat, $48, available at Urban Outfitters

Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Travel in Style

Monday, January 21st, 2013

January may be a dull month, but it’s a great time to plan a vacation. As soon as February hits, we are sick of the Great White North, secretly plotting our way to Tropical destinations worldwide. What better investment to take along than a great piece of luggage? Here are my picks to help you travel in style:

Heys luggage is a reputable brand when it comes to luggage hardware and this ‘lace’ printed piece will stand out in a sea of black.

The French label, Longchamp is notorious for their travel essentials and this bag won’t disappoint. It has a zipper inset that expands and contracts to accommodate a variety of hauls.

This black leather carryall is classic – a great overnighter or onboard tote.

An alternative to the Marc by Marc Jacobs tote above, this duffel will add a splash of color to your travel attire.

When in transit, we need to protect our tech-gear and Kate Spade makes countless essentials for every device, like this flip-stand poplin iPad case.

Regardless of your destination, you can keep Paris close to you with this luggage accessory from Lolo.

Ensconce your passport in a plaid sheath from Britain’s iconic luxury retailer.

We all associate Louis Vuitton with luggage trunks, but why not mix up the fashion spectrum? This classic Centenary case from J. Crew will last you through the years.

1. Heys Lace Fashion Spinner, $150
2. Longchamp ‘Le Pliage’ Expandable Travel Bag, $265, available at Nordstrom
3. Marc by Marc Jacobs Leather Carryall, $462, available at Shopbop
4. Dubbel Duffel, $153, available at Shopbop
5. Kate Spade iPad folio, $85
6. Lolo ‘Eiffel Tower’ luggage tag, $24, available at Nordstrom
7. Burberry House Check Passport Wallet, $310
8. J. Crew Glob-Trotter Centenary Suitcase, $2,122

Calgary Fashion Jobs – Accessory Scarves

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012

I can honestly say that winter is my least favourite of the four seasons. Sure everything associated with the cold winter months – hot chocolate, cozy nights and the festive holidays – are nice, but bone chilling Canadian temperatures can put a damper on all that, especially when it comes to your wardrobe. Layering is always cute, but when you add jackets, hats, scarves and gloves into the mix you can end up being mistaken for a plump snowman. That’s why I like to incorporate my outer layers with my outfit to get rid of some winter bulk, and the best way to do that is with an accessory scarf. This versatile garment is the perfect accent to any outfit and the best part is you don’t have to check it at the door.

1. Alexander McQueen Skull print chiffon scarf, $295, available at Net-A-Porter
2. Christopher Kane Floral-Print modal and cashmere-blend scarf, $520, available at Net-A-Porter
3. Diane Von Furstenburg Tasseled Voile circle scarf, $185, available at Net-A-Porter
4. Forever 21 Zig Zag Stripe Scarf, $12
5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Clara Printed Silk and Cashmere-Blend Scarf, $198, available at Net-A-Porter
6. Kimchi Blue Crosshatch Printed Eternity Scarf, $29, available at Urban Outfitters

Montreal Fashion Jobs – Work to Evening

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

The holiday season can get pretty overwhelming, trying to cross everyone off of your list, attending countless events while still maintaining your sanity. One way I cut down on the stress is to multitask with my holiday wardrobe. The difficult part is finding the pieces that are able to transition from the conservative office to a fun, fresh evening look. Lucky for us, many Canadian retailers have the same idea. I personally love Jacob and Club Monaco clothing; I find their attire to be so fun and feminine, yet conservative and classic at the same time. Another store worth checking out is Canada’s leading department store, The Bay which carries a wide range of designer brands from high to low end apparel including two of my favorite lines, Top Shop and BCBG MAX AZRIA. Don’t fret if you can’t make it out to the busy malls, check out websites like net-a-porter.com which offers a range of amazing designer clothing. No matter what you choose, these brands will help you look fabulous from day to night.

1. BCBGMaxAzria Kloe Lace Dress, $322, available at the Bay
2. Club Monaco Rilei Wide-Leg Pant, $99
3. Elizabeth and James Larissa Knotted Stretch-Tulle Mini Dress, $385, available at Net-a-porter
4. Jacob Bow Neckline Satin Shift, $99
5. Marc by Marc Jacobs, Clarice Flower-Print Twill Skirt, $295, available at Net-a-porter
