Designer Fashion on the Cheap: Blazers and Striped Skirts

Dear Neiman Marcus, Thank you for continually sending me emails filled with the riches and spoils of the expensive life.  I also love getting your magazine full of drool worthy clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. In your email today, I wondered if you knew exactly who I was?  While the girl in the picture is [...]

Love Your Louboutins

Last summer, while on holiday in Chicago, I splurged big style on a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. I loved them so much that when I flew home I carried them as hand luggage and didn’t dare stow them above in cabin baggage. Instead, I tucked my shoes below my seat, safely nestled in their [...]

Consignment Stores

I love getting my hair cut.  Not just because I love the scalp massage and being pampered, but because my salon is next door to my favourite high-end consignment store in Vancouver.  Consignment stores are great for girls who love designer but don’t have the paycheque to justify daily visits to high-end retailers.

Strategic Shopping at Crowded Stores

Your local paper just announced that H&M is carrying Jimmy Choo shoes this Saturday at a mall near you or there is a new H&M (or other such store) opening this weekend. You awaken bright and early on opening day to realise half the city had the same idea.  You arrive at the store and [...]

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 [...]

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. Apart from the requisite iPod and being professionally fitted for “you want me to pay how much for shoes without [...]
