Summer fashion is all about colour, colour, colour!  Whether it's saturated hues or creamy pale shades, we love them all.  In fact, there’s only one part of our wardrobe and beauty routines where we shun colour, and that’s on our teeth.

It should come as no surprise that a whopping 90% of Canadians consider their smile to be an essential part of their overall appearance...

Mandy has some serious style chops! So this week, I persuaded her to go in front of the camera and show off some of her favourite summer outfits. Her three looks are all about comfy chicness, mixing feminine and masculine elements and sleek silhouettes with statement pieces. But no matter what she's wearing, I must say she pulls it off with ease! 

Look #1: Girly Grunge

With not one, but two August long weekends soon making their way into summer, we thought it was only appropriate that we celebrate the best way we know how: with a backyard BBQ! I am convinced that the summer was invented just so we could have BBQs. Is there really anything better? 

Part of the essential BBQ experience (besides the delicious food) is the decor and general ambience. Lighting is...

One of the most anticipated films of the summer is the newest addition to the Batman series, The Dark Knight Rises. Now, when we started talking Batman in the office, of course, the discussion lead to one very heated debate: Who is the best Batman? 

We're going to be putting four guys to the test: Clooney, Keaton, Bale and Kilmer. Of course, this wouldn't be a hotties debate without...

Let's have a reality check ladies; with the balmy weather in full effect, keeping your hair down is pretty much certifiably insane. At the same time, the same 'ol messy bun or your basic ponytail done everyday can get so boring and seriously get you in a bit of a hair style rut. 

To spice things up, we rounded up five versatile hair accessories that you can use to dress up your...

When I first started wearing makeup, I was about 13 years old. I had no clue what I was doing, so I used the worst possible makeup for my face. I would purchase the least expensive items and slather them on, hoping it looked passable. I can't help but look back now and think to myself, I wish someone had been there to guide me through those years and offer helpful beauty suggestions. A...

This past weekend, we Canadians celebrated Canada Day with a long weekend. The weather was on our side and the sun was blazing the entire weekend. Now, if you're smart, when you see the sun beating down on you at the beach, you layer on the sunscreen like it's going out of style. However, if you're like me (Alexandra), you think to yourself, 'Naw, I don't think I need any...

Longtime ChickAdvisor readers know we have a thing for our Posing Wall.  And while we usually we pose off against each other (winning is the most important thing, right?), we are switching things up a little 'round these parts for the next few weeks.

For my lookbook, I decided to showcase some of my favourite pieces for the summer. You may notice a recurring trend in my outfits, and that...

I was really impressed by Alexandra’s look for her $20 Makeup Challenge which prompted me to put my own bargain hunting skills to the test! I have to say I’m pretty good at finding quality makeup at a fraction of the price. Most of my favourite makeup are drugstore brands so I thought I would breeze through this challenge no problem…Turns out, it was a lot harder to stay within budget....

What do you get when you cross the lace nail art trend with a polka dot manicure? Well, you get an adorable lacy-edged inspired manicure; only this one's done all by hand, with a dotting tool. 

Now, a word on dotting tools, because I express my love for them enough. Dotting tools are seriously one of the best nail art investments you'll ever make. I covet my own tool; without it I...
