We’ve all heard it said not to wear white after Labour Day -- a terrible fashion rule as far as we are concerned because there are few things in a classically stylish wardrobe that stand out more than a crisp white jacket or elegantly tailored white pants.

But where did all of this come from? According to Time Magazine, this "rule" is part practical and part upper class snobbery. You see, back in...

I love when magazines compile trend pieces showing images from the runway that most of us would never wear.  It’s great to get the inspiration, but translating that into what is actually available in stores is another thing.

Here are 9 summer essentials you can’t go wrong with:

 
White Pants

(1) Banana Republic White Skinny Ankle Jean, $110

Spring 2014 Shoe Trends
It may seem a little late to post a spring shoe trends piece, but given the harsh, neverending winter we all just survived it didn’t seem right to talk about sexy new spring shoes while still wearing winter boots, parkas and for many of us - a fine, downy layer of leg fur as an extra measure of warmth.

As you retire to your bathroom for an evening of leg waxing with Nair’s Candy Apple Sugar Wax...

April Showers brings May Flowers; Is that how the rhyme goes? Well hopefully April Showers at least brings a little warmer weather. I cannot wait to wear my tall rain boots! A necessity for Spring fashion will always be super cute rain gear, I have to admit it's a lot more fun jumping in a puddle with my welly's than it is in my new flats. But wearing big rain boots or a rain coat does not...

The second the temperature hits above 10 Degrees Celsius (aka 50 Degrees Fahrenheit - for all my American friends) I cannot help but want to throw my spring jacket on and not have to worry about wearing a million layers and my puffy winter jacket. Spring jackets are the perfect accessory and make life much easier when Mother Nature is still undecided on whether it's winter or summer. Figure...

So I have talked about this ad nauseam, but I am obsessed with finding my signature scent. Somehow I got it into my head that every chic woman must have a signature scent that defines her style and who she is.

The snow is finally starting to melt and that means it's officially acceptable to bring out my printed pants and not have to hide them underneath my bulky jacket. This also means that I can shamelessly talk about the Spring trends that you need to have in your closet - because you will literally be seeing them everywhere. But do not fret ladies, there are enough prints and bright colours to go...

Karl Lagerfeld has done it again! And by that I mean he put on an amazing fashion show that I wish I could have attended. The Chanel Spring 2014 fashion show took place in none other than a supermarket packed with Chanel inspired food. Yes, it's true! There was a Chanel bread aisle and it was probably fabulous. The presentation featured Fashion Sneakers, some of which were knee high and models...
