So are you still wearing dresses over pants? Well STOP. Here is a lovely expination why, from a fellow blogger at GoFugYourself.
If you love makeup, hair products, skin solutions and girly/manly bath things then you will think you have died and gone to heaven once you set foot into SEPHORA. If you haven’t been to one in the U.S or Toronto yet, it is a plethora of different brands (from Dior to Too Faced to OPI etc…) and the sales associates are not bias to one brand- they really do tell you what is the best of the best!
The downtown store (Pacific Centre) and Coquitlam Centre are opening on JULY 10!! Mark your calendars, there is sure to be some crazy gate crasher sales!!
The Metrotown store is set to open in Fall (along with FOREVER 21!!) yay!
There is a style that will look AMAZING on EVERY single body type- BABY DOLL. That is anything cinched at the waist and bust then flows down from there. If you don’t have your summer dress yet, here are a few suggestions:
Now that I’ve started on-line shopping for you…I can’t wait to see all my ladies in cute summer dresses- all summer long!
Due to the recent flood of great weather, I feel the urge to guide men in the area of buying shorts. Similar to my ladies shorts post, there are quite a few nice styles at Urban Outfitters. First, here’s a few tips when buying shorts:
-If you are under 5′9″ the length of the shorts must be 1″-3″ above the knee. Anything longer will end up making you look shorter.
-If you are over 5′9″ you can wear a longer short. No capri’s please!
-Think about the footwear you are wearing- it must be a sandal or a casual city shoe, NO chunky white gym shoes or dressy loafers.
-Do NOT wear socks. If you must due to a foot issue, make sure they are ankle socks!
-Trunks/board shorts are NOT meant to be worn anywhere else but the beach!!!!!!
Footwear from Urban Outfitters that is appropriate to wear with shorts:
$18 If you are wearing a flip flop, just make sure its at the beach!
So I guess Lady GaGa can sing? Who knew? I must say I was pretty impressed by her preformace on Ellen- she’s pretty good live!
LENGTH is everything. No one should be wearing shorts that show butt cheeks- NO ONE.
Urban Outfitters has quite a few great styles that will work on any age and a variety of body types. Check these styles out!
The kids of celebrities seem to be taking over the pages of every magazine these days..so lets see who is the most fashionable of them all shall we?
5. Violet Affleck- She is almost always flashing those beautiful dimples of hers, which make any outfit look that much cuter. She seems seems to love wearing pig tales and summer dresses!
4. Kingston Rossdale- a little bit of rock and a little bit of reggae, that’s Kingston’s style…needless to say I think he’s a perfect mix of his parents!
3. Cruz Beckham- Whether cute and preppy or in his batman costume Cruz is always looking way too stylin’! Did you know this guy can break dance too?
2. Shiloh Jolie Pitt- Very fashion forward, she seems to be a little bit of a tom boy…SUPER cute in those skinny jeans!
1. Suri Cruise- The girliest of girls…she is never seen in anything but a dress and mary-janes, and she just turned 3!
So who do you think is the most stylish kid around?
How many actors that say they’re in a band do you actually think are good- and not just cheesy and trying to hard?? Well my favorite Canadian actor’s band is getting talked about quite a bit lately. Ryan Gosling’s Dead Man’s Bones is a folk/indie band- and they are pretty awesome. Check out these videos:
All the skinny-over-caffeinated-indoor-sunglass-wearing-people have gone into hiding again, which means that all the major fashion weeks have come to a close! Looking back on all the shows, in fall 2009 we’re seeing lots of black, metallic and form fitting clothes with interesting shapes. Here are a few stand outs from Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver Fashion Week:
Denis Gagnon from Montreal Fashion Week: There was an amazing mix of fabrications from silks, to leathers to furs. He used his skills in draping to create edgy yet feminine looks. We also saw lots of a-symmetry in the hemlines, at the waist and at the neck.

Marie Saint Pierre from Montreal Fashion week: Her show wowed right from the start. It was full of lots of ruffles, pleats and draping. She created beautiful clothes with lots of volume and drama.

Evan Bidell from Toronto Fashion Week: Yes, he was the winner of season 1 Project Runway Canada, and for good reason! His line stood out on the runway- in a good way! Lots of tight leather jackets- crazy oversized knit scarves and color color color!

Andy The-Anh from Toronto Fashion Week: Lots of texture! That’s what Andy The-Anh is all about for fall. Sexy swing coats, stunning evening wear and the perfect little cocktail dress is what we saw. Lots of teal and orange accents with emphasis around the waist. Perfect clothes made for a sophisticated and glamorous lady.

Joseph Domingo from Vancouver Fashion Week: This collection had brilliant tailoring. Lots of corsets with skinny pants which seemed to be inspired by Lady GaGa. Joseph accented even each garment with touches of gold and silver. Lots of sparkle and lots of shine is whats hot for fall 2009.
So don’t throw out your leggings they are here to stay- especially shiny or leather ones. Pair your favorite evening dress with a motorcycle jacket and most of all don’t forget to wear black!
My favorite Manitoba designer, Tony Chestnut has just launched her Spring 2009 line and you’re gonna love it! Its full of the hottest new trends; neutrals, volume, sheer and ruffles! In the next few weeks you will also be able to purchase these super cute clothes online at tonychestnut.com- but here is your preview! So screw the recession and buy some clothes!!
He is crazy and over the top and thats why you love him or you hate him. I LOVE him.
Well, SOON. Forever 21 will be opening in Metrotown Mall in Burnaby, BC. Can’t wait! Although I’m sure once we get it all the novelty will wear off…
This winter/spring there seems to be a horrible trend going around-WHITE BOOTS.
Even with these celebrities wearing clean and simple boots- they still DON’T look good. Just picture each of those outfits with a lovely pair of black or grey boots…ahhh much better!
To be honest the tend to make you look either trashy, like a go-go girl or heaven forbid a little costume-y! So if you bought a pair this year, set them aside—UNLESS they are off white ankle boots that are flat and casual…that is THE ONLY style that is remotely acceptable!
