Lookbook

You know how sometimes you don't know what accessories to wear with a given outfit? For example, you try on few necklaces but something seems to be missing. Well right now, you dont have to decide between 2 or even 3 necklaces. Fashion today tells you: wear them all. oh yes, layering your necklaces is quite hot these days, just ask Parker Posey of Lucky (April 2007). An important point to consider is not to over do it. Like anything in fashion, one cannot go overboard on a trend without the risk of looking like Paris Hilton. Most retailers will offer good deals on their accessories. Here are some suggestions from Glam : -Dynamite necklaces on sale can vary from $5-$10. -Reitmans has their offer of buy one and get one free -You can get some up to date trendy pieces at Le Chateau for approx $20 -Aldo and Stonerige will offer you basics for $15-$20 In the end, most Canadian retailers offer great deals, especially if you wait for the markdowns.

This would not be a blog about fashion without at least a few SJP hommages. Her style can be at times ecclectic, glamorous or casual but always efforteless. Isn't that, in the end, what we all want: The impression that we just picked a few random pieces from our closet and acheived a look worthy of André Leon Tally's approval. *Note: The final touch to this outfit is what seems to be some sort of bow behind each shoe.

People will be stopping YOU in the streets to ask why you picked BIG over Aidan.

A s you walk into a Maxi or a Canadian Superstore, browsing the aisles for the regular milk, butter and cheese, the last thing you expect is to land on the perfect pair of bright flats, or the ideal summer bag, or even, what’s this? Ohhhh, pretty printed skirts! That’s exactly how it feels when you walk through a Joe Fresh Style. Joe Fresh Style was founded by Joseph Mimran (the same dude who thought up Club Monaco and Caban). There are so many great things about this "groceretail" store. The prices are extremely affordable (think $14.00 for a 3/4 sleeve tunic), the set-up is uncluttered and actually pleasant. And yes, there are change rooms (unlike other places where you have to assume you are a medium). The staff is quite helpful and friendly. The merchandising makes you want to buy EVERYTHING (I need a cash register in my kitchen right?) On top of all this: It is Canadian! The Joe Fresh area is divided in sections such as womenswear, menswear, sleepwear, loungewear and la...

Note: The Bedo top is racer back with slight shimmery stripes and is a bit sheer so you may have to wear something else underneath, unless you wish to appear slightly nakes...its up to you :)
