It’s not easy being green. (Just ask Kermit the Frog.) And it’s certainly not always easy to go green when it comes to skincare products. Everyone wants their creams and lotions to do it all but have only natural ingredients while they’re at it. Here’s a few of our eco-friendly faves: Green Beaver I’ve met [...]
In honour of upcoming Earth Day (and seeing as April is Earth month) we’ve decided to share some of our favourite eco-friendly finds. From skincare to makeup to fashion, going green is more than just a trend, it’s a lifestyle. Let’s get down to the beauty business with a few of my favourite eco-friendly nail polishes. In [...]
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 [...]
It’s part of my job to test drive new products that land on my desk. (Yeah, I know, it’s not a bad gig.) But my bathroom shelves are overflowing with so many new serums, eye creams and anti-agers it can be hard to pick out the ones that actually deliver on their promises. Luckily, I’ve [...]
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.

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 [...]
Brides-to-be listen up! Whether you love or hate the dress selections on TLC’s hit show Say Yes to the Dress, it’s never short of entertainment and inspiration. The choice of a strapless see-through bustier ensemble for an event where you’ll be seeing elderly relatives boggles my mind but who am I to judge? And now, all [...]
Yet another collection during Toronto Fashion Week gave a nod to the edgy ’90s. The inspiration behind the Joe Fresh fall/winter 2013 collection was effortlessly cool Parisian street style. The Loblaw-owned brand is known as the mecca for all things bright, cheap, cheerful and preppy – making this collection a radical departure. The collection was [...]
Last night at World MasterCard Fashion Week, beloved Montreal-based luxury outerwear label Mackage unveiled their fall/winter 2013 collection, along with their newest offering: handbags. The reviews from the fashion-minded attendees involved nothing but warm and fuzzy feelings toward the carryalls. The Mackage handbags will launch with a 12-piece collection. Designers Eran Elfassy and Elisa [...]
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 [...]
