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. He sent this breathtaking black lace gown encrusted with broken pieces of Baileys bottles (the show’s sponsor) down the runway to signify the start of the show. It worked – the [...]

Backstage beauty: Tanya Taylor at The ShOws
The beauty look on Tanya Taylor‘s fall 2013 runway at Toronto fashion event the shOws had a 1960′s feel — and we were loving it. Flattering for all seasons (and ages) it involved side swept hair with volume at the crown, winged graphic eyeliner and a clean, creamy complexion. Here’s how to get this look at home. [...]

2013 Oscar red carpet: Kate’s picks
Hosted by the cheeky (okay, mostly offensive) Seth MacFarlane, the 85th Annual Academy Awards were full of hits, misses and some surprise guest appearances. The highlights? First Lady Michelle Obama announcing the Best Picture Award winner, a musical number with the cast of Les Misérables and Ben Affleck thanking “Canada” in his speech. But we know where the real [...]

2013 Oscars: Red carpet beauty predictions
Oooh la, how I delight in the preening celebs require leading up to the Oscars. Think of all that prep: the juice cleanses, the oxygen facials, the full-bod scrubs, faux-tan missions, sweat lodge sessions, the punishing visits to Barry’s Bootcamp and SoulCycle (Bradley Cooper has been spotted—shirtless!—at the latter) and the lack of carbs! Oh [...]

Editor’s pick: Jessica Alba’s Golden Globes beauty
I keep thinking back to all of the perfectly preened retro beauty looks that dotted the Golden Globes red carpet – so swoon-worthy! Still, among all of the Hollywood glamour looks that I loved there was a bevy of boring, bouncing blowouts and forgettable makeup. (I’m looking at you, Kate Hudson and Claire Danes.) So who [...]

Day 6: L’Oréal Professionnel Steampod
I have always wanted a professional garment steamer. Instead of slaving away with an iron, a steamer emits a lovely puff of hot moisture-filled air and – poof! – all of your wrinkles are gone with ease. While I’m still saving up for a heavy duty one, I can happily say that I can now [...]

Beauty obsession: Pink hair
It takes real guts to pull off a shocking hair colour, but when done right and worn with confidence it’s still one of my all-time favourite beauty looks. For the past few seasons, brightly hued hair has been popping up on runways – and it looks like the trend is sticking around for spring/summer 2013. [...]
