How to Wear Skinny Jeans

Admit it.  You love to hate skinny jeans. But just because skinny is in the name doesn’t mean you must be in order to wear them.  Skinny jeans come in many flattering styles and colours:  straight leg, bunched or zippered at the ankle, high and low cut, ultra tight, and so on.  Rock them with [...]

Fashion 911 Kit

Like most fashionistas, I hate to get caught in the midst of a style disaster. Like when you’re out for drinks with friends wearing your brand-new, cream military style jacket and someone accidentally tips their glass of red wine onto it. If you’re accident prone to like I am, you shouldn’t be without a Fashion [...]

Labels We Love: Elizabeth and James

I first beheld these shoes during the Christmas sales and I cannot get them out of my mind.  They are gorgeous. Picture these Elizabeth and James Jazz pumps  with a pair of sexy Wolford stockings with a back seam running from your foot up the length of your leg.  Finish the look off with a [...]

Classic Pieces to Invest In – Crisp, White Shirt

Aside from the Chanel 2.55, you should invest in a crisp, white shirt.  A classic white shirt can be worn tucked in, cinched at the waist, or loose and fancy free.  It can be accessorized with a black belt, a tie or, my favourite,  a long necklace.  Pair it with a skirt, trousers, leggings, cardigans, [...]

Running in Style

To the surprise, or perhaps amusement, of my closest friends and family I have become a runner and have been for almost 6 months.  I really enjoy pounding the pavement with my 4-legged, canine companion.

Clogs, of course!

Paris Fashion Week was back in early Fall ’09, but one of the stand out trends from Chanel were clogs.  Like all new trends, there are naysayers and supporters. I had a pair of clogs when I was 12 and I adored them.  Of course, 17 years ago those clogs were more grunge and certainly [...]

Hooray for Halston!

Like any dutiful fashion slave, I have watched and re-watched the SATC movie trailer memorizing every outfit paraded by our favourite fab foursome. How about that black, cut-out mini-dress Samantha was wearing as she ran across the street to meet the other girls? Her figure and that dress are beyond amazing. The dress I drooled [...]

The Eighties Strike Again – Jeggings

A fabulous friend just returned from London, England with a style report for me: “Jeggings everywhere!”  The 1980′s strike again. Dark, light, grey, acid wash, ripped…they’re not leggings, they’re not jeans, they’re jeggings.
