In rich tones, winter white or muted oatmeals, layered over a turtleneck or belted, we're feeling hot for these sweet woolens.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFlashing down the Fall runways at Toronto fashion week were skirts in all manner of fringe, feather, 3D flower appliqué, and metallic strips. The effect was magpie syndrome—we wanted to fly off right then with the shiny slivered skirts, or in the case of Pink Tartan's feathers take them home to our aviary to roost.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIf there's one investment we never regret, it's a winter coat. A coat that keeps out the chill with a vibrant hue (the neoprene orange overcoats at Joe Fresh made a huge impact on the crowds when they first appeared) or create a cocoon-like form that allows plenty of room for layering, like those designed by Jeremy Laing, Vawk and Lundström. The coats that felt freshest were full...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basVelvet is a fabric as rich in texture as it is in history—iconic designers who were known to use the fabric to dramatic effect include Vionnet, Poiret, and Fortuny. That nostalgia is seen in the velvet used by designers for fall, in the rich colours and draping and gathering. In the looks of Jeremy Laing and Chloé comme Parris, the textile's equally gothic flavour surfaces, all dark and...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFor fall, fur vests were layered over cocktail and day dresses, tough leather, office wear and slinky velvet. In plush animal skins or coloured fun fur, often belted, these vests easily transition from fall to winter, layering over tops, dresses, sweaters and then jackets as the temperatures drop.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basGetting dressed to attend LG Fashion Week, going on now in Toronto, can mean sacrificing style to be comfortable, or wearing something you absolutely love but that you know will be torture (or just wrinkled) by hour four. These ladies had the right idea of taking classic items—those comfortable easy-to-wear pieces—and giving them their own twist to show their personality.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis week in Toronto, LG Fashion Week has been filling up our days and nights. We're not the only ones! Plenty of chicks turned up for the shows, and we were inspired by all the looks we saw. These three ladies had a playful approach to pattern and texture—from mixing polka dots and animal prints to flowers and stripes.
We love the classic silhouette and accessories (pumps and pearls) this...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis week on the Style Collective, we're getting DIY for home and head; we're looking at a cool design idea for making maximum space out of a small place and forming a book club of one on the couch; and when we head out to the store, we're going to be sure and bring a handy list of great, inexpensive beauty buys and look for a fuchsia lipcolour out of our comfort zone.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIf you don't like splurging on accessories, a flat neutral belt is the perfect one-time buy that, if you invest in quality, will last you for years. A classic shape and style, this belt was designed to be pulled through belt loops of any slack or jean. We loved the styling of a menswear inspired classic leather belt with a summer dress as seen at Isabel Marant, and paired with trousers and a...
