Even if you have an office-based 9-to-5 gig, there are lots of work-appropriate sandals that will show off your perfectly polished toes.

Incorporate these work-ready sandals into your wardrobe for a touch of summery style that will make Monday mornings a little more palatable.

Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Coachella Fashion

Monday, May 6th, 2013

 

 

 

A few years ago, Bohemian style was all the rage, skirts became longer and colours became earthier. We saw fashion lovers and designers alike embracing it (think Laura Siegel Spring/Summer 2012) and we soon realized that this trend, unlike many others, is here to stay. So where is the best place to scope out bohemian trends? At the first big music festival of the year or course. Two weekends of music and fashion collide annually at Coachella, allowing us to draw inspiration from celebrities in their designer pieces and other attendees with more affordable looks. This year we saw tons of black and white, high cut shorts and neon colours. With such a wide range of styles, virtually anyone can find something to suit their wardrobe.

Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Style Icon: Poppy Delevingne

Monday, 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 feminine pieces like maxi skirts and billowy blouses, offset by edgier touches of grunge or menswear inspired tailoring. She exudes a quintessentially English appeal, simultaneously rocking a traditional piece, like a Burberry trench with distressed vintage denim, or Converse chucks.

Her casual looks include easy California staples such as lace camisoles and skinny jeans, or blouses and hot pants paired with leather or denim vests and suede booties. Aside from awesome shades, Poppy’s signature blonde locks and long limbs are the perfect accessories to her evolving look. She’s sort of the English antidote to France’s obsession with Isabel Marant, perfecting undone, yet calculated glamour that fellow Brits Alexa Chung and Keira Knightley pull off so well.

Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Layering Essentials

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

Slips, camis and seamless bodysuits are all often forgotten essentials to the outfitting process. These layering items are integral to providing the right support and look to any number of outfits, especially in the summer, when fabric tends to be particular sheer.

When finding that perfect slip for your favourite summer dress, you have a couple of options. Most slips tend to be seamless, which works best for layering. Silk is often the best fabric for slips since it tends to hang loosely and is slippery against most cotton fabrics that are widely used in summer apparel. For silk dress slips, Aritzia carries a few options that are reasonably priced, starting at $65.

Seamless Spandex/Nylon body-hugging slips are also a popular option and provide support and body contouring in addition to their layering use. Free People offers a number of seamless slip option, my favourites being the Seamless Mini and Seamless Romper.

Transitioning certain summer pieces to the office can often be tricky, but with the right cami, it can be a piece of piece of cake. Basic seamless tanks offer additional coverage, like American Apparel’s Baby Rip Tank Top, in either racerback or spaghetti strap options. For a daintier look, try a lace & silk combination tank top like Dolce & Gabbana’s ultra-feminine version. Similarly, half-slips work fantastically under office skirts, and lace trimmed ones, like Ruche’s tiered version, offers up a bit of interest and added detailing. From basic to lacey and girly, layering pieces are a definite spring/summer necessity.

1. Wilfred Aube Slip Dress, $65, available at Aritzia
2. FP Intimately Seamless Mini, $28.43, available at Free People
3. FP Intimately Seamless Romper, $38.59, available at Free People
4. American Apparel Spaghetti Tank Top, $15
5. Dolce & Gabana Floral Crepe Top, $670, available at My Theresa
6. Antique Lace Half Slip, $28.99, available at Ruche

Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Spring Must Have: The Short Suit

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013

As we head into April and warmer temperatures grace us with their presence, we’re feeling motivated and determined to finally crawl out of our winter blues. Spring is the time of the year for growth and rebirth, and that doesn’t just include within our environment; it means us too! Ladies, it’s time to let that skin breathe and opt for shorter lengths to shed some light on your skin.

The great thing about this must-have spring trend is it’s short yet reasonable length that will even be appropriate for the office! The short suit offers a classic tailored look with a modern edge, especially when paired up with other common trends for spring such as bold graphics, pastels, or jewel tones! You can also mix and match tops and bottoms, or create a more eccentric look by mixing contrasting textures.
