Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Summer Blazers

Sunday, June 3rd, 2012

In the summer we tend to pare down on our clothing layers. High temperatures lead to simpler outfits that don’t involve so many heat-trapping pieces. While we want to stay cool and collected, there are still occasions where we are required to wear a jacket that either cover up our shoulders or provides some structure to our outfit. Summer outwear is the perfect way to round out your office wardrobe, protect from the elements or top off an evening look. Pick blazers made with light fabric and consider choosing something bright to make your outfit really pop.

2. alice + olivia floral blazer, $428, shopbop

3. BCBG MAX AZRIA Metallic Blazer, $258

Toronto Fashion Jobs – Peplums Are Pretty

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012

Designers like Stella McCartney, Giambattista Valli, Marc Jacobs, and Proenza Schouler embraced peplums in 2011, and this feminine shape is sure to be a major trend heading into spring. Celebrities like Emma Stone and Jennifer Hudson have flocked to peplum dresses for walking the red carpet, but this curve-loving style is also easy to wear during the day. Just choose a peplum top! Thankfully this trend is flattering on all figures, because the hourglass silhouette can both camouflage a tummy and highlight a teeny waist. Try a flowy blouse for a subtle take on the trend, or choose a more structured fabric for a high-impact look.

2. Marni Contrast-Trimmed Silk-Blend Top, $227, available at OUTNET

Montreal Fashion Jobs – Girl Crush: Eleonora Carisi

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

It’s true that there are a plethora of impeccably dressed women who are captured on the streets by many seasoned fashion bloggers, but few are as bold and amusing as today’s subject Eleonora Carisi. Not only does she own her own über trendy store (This is Maze), she is also a fashion blogger, stylist, and everyday wonder woman. And while it’s not always easy to pull off that undone-yet-very-chic look, it’s clear that Carisi has it down to a science.

With her in mind, I’ve rounded up a small selection that reflects Carisi’s effortless and confident approach to dressing. From an indispensable pair of sunglasses to a ridiculously sexy skirt, see how you can inject some Carisi flair into your daily mix.

My inspiration shot of Eleonora is from The Sartorialist.

Toronto Fashion Jobs – Gold Rush By Day

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

There’s never a shortage of glimmer and glitz during the holidays, but the rest of the year can look a little bleak sartorially speaking. If there’s one new piece of style advice we should add to our closets in 2012 it’s that big and small doses of gold transcend the season and the time of day. When paired with austere hues like army green, khaki or denim, a shoe, skirt or accessory piece in a golden shade will add brilliance and interest. Try the new addition to your typical brunch uniform or office outfit and you’ll be golden- literally.

1. Metallic Pleated Midi Skirt, US $72 at Topshop
2. Jimmy Choo Wilma Glitter-Coated Leather Oxfords $587 at Saks.com

3. Sequin Collar $47 ASOS.com
