Editor tested: Orange lipsticks
A matte orange pout is one of my favourite beauty trends to crop up in recent years, so I’m thrill it’s still going strong for spring. It’s kind of like red’s cooler younger sister and fuchsia’s edgy fashion forward friend. It’s a colour that can work wonders on all complexions. From a peachy pale skin tone, [...]

Trend spotting: Flower power
I’ve never been keen on floral prints. In fact, I was a floral print virgin until 2011 (childhood doens’t count) and even then it wasn’t a true girly girly floral print.

Editor tested: Eyelash extensions
Have you ever thought about trying eyelash extensions? I have – and I’ve become borderline addicted. I’m so gaga over them that I’m giving this beauty service the coveted title of game changer. When it comes to length and thickness, my lashes are somewhat average. My major gripe is their colour. They’re super light. Which [...]

Editor’s pick: Joe Fresh Spring lipsticks and glosses
Joe Fresh can’t stop, won’t stop oozing pretty spring inspiration. Over the last few weeks, Toronto (and I’m guessing the rest of eastern Ontario) has been given the cold shoulder from spring — but Joe Fresh has been there to console me. Every other time I venture into a TTC tunnel or turn on the [...]

Backstage beauty: Lucian Matis
Toronto Fashion Week favourite Lucian Matis started off his show at 1 King St. W. by revisiting a look-a-like dress from his fall 2012 collection.

Trend report: Pink Tartan at Toronto Fashion Week
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Kimberley Newport-Mimran’s fall/winter 2013 collection stuck to Pink Tartan‘s signature retro style. Bold-colour shift dresses, elbow-length leather gloves, fur collars and abstract floral prints found on ’50s silhouettes dominated the runway. Inspiration The muse for this film noir meets 1950s housewife collection was the character Constance Langdon from [...]
