Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love people who play by their own rules. I appreciate celebs like Lady Gaga and Beth Ditto who break tradition and colour outside the lines. These are the people that pave the way for future trends, what starts out a something bizarre often turns into the big trend for the next season. In this edition of street style, I’m celebrating those who break the mold and show us what is to come next!

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basEarlier this month, we had a post on the ‘it’ summer accessory - turquoise. It seems we’ve all fallen under the turquoise spell. Bar Rafaeli wore a pair of dazzling turquoise drop earrings recently but this trend extends much farther than necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. Lady Gaga has been sporting a turquoise wig around town lately, while Beyonce strutted out in towering...

Never thought I'd see the day when a big boat coming my way. - Lonely Island "I'm on a boat" Living in Toronto, the closest I have ever got to going on a real boat trip was the summer my friend took me to her family's small yacht on Lake Ontario.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLately, it’s been hot in Toronto, like, really hot. In fact, it's been so hot that you want to take off all your clothes and run through a sprinkler (you know you want to...). We found three very hot girls (not literally, I mean that in the other sense…) trying to keep cool by wearing cute and easy summer skirts and dresses.
We love that Seo is playing with contrasts and...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basA great basic tee, that fits and hugs in all the right places is a must-have for any wardrobe. They go with literally anything and you can dress it up or down. I love a great graphic tee for a spin on a basic. Graphic tees can range from large, bold prints to cute quotes to small and feminine flowers. For something a little more fun and quirky try pairing a graphic tee with another print or...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basOne of our favourite things about being in Toronto is the diversity. Walking down the street you can see and hear everything from music to food to style from a ton of different cultures. In this edition of our street style hunting, we happened upon three international exotic beauties, two from Spain and one from la France! We love how these ladies show us that fashion trends have a...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basDon't we all need a bit of glamor in our lives? This summer, and going into fall, I am all about mixing up textures and 1950s throwbacks - all of course while being completely glamorous. A slouchy hobo bag, though big and practical, adds volume to your figure. A sleek leather or crocodile handbag is a chic alternative and demands attention. On the Runway: In their Fall 2011...
