Go green for St. Patrick’s Day
Whether you’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a green beer in hand and a matching ensemble or you’re simply a fan of Pantone‘s latest colour of the year, there’s something emerald for everyone this season. Intimidated by green? Fear not. We’re not talking Wizard of Oz shades head to toe. It’s all about finding the right [...]

Guest post: Best knitted winter accessories
By Meagan Malloch A little about me? Well, I am in my third and final year studying journalism at Humber College in Toronto. I’ve always felt this powerful pull to write, whether it was creative or journalistic. After I graduate this spring I plan on going back to school to get my university degree in [...]

Day 18: High-tech leather Joanel Lux Satchel
The words high-tech and handbag are rarely bundled together – but that’s exactly what this black leather Joanel Lux Satchel ($325) is. Essentially it’s an android handbag that houses integrated lighting technology. Translation: You’ll never need to empty your purse in a frenzy when you’re trying to find hidden keys, your cellphone or just the right [...]

Day 17: Banana Republic gift card
It’s basically impossible to not lose at least one black glove every winter. And if you don’t end up dropping one on the bus or leaving a pair of gloves behind at a party, then you’re likely struggling to find your plain black gloves among the jumble of winter-wear in your cupboard. Am I right? [...]

Day 16: Give the gift of time with Timex
Every time I’ve ever gifted a family member or boyfriend a watch I’ve consistently hit it out of the park. Which means I regularly fall back on watches as a great gift idea when the person I’m shopping for isn’t giving me a head’s up on what they’re coveting. Unfortunately, there’s a downside to this.

Day 2: Pandora silver stackable rings
I’ve gushed (and posted) about my love for arm parties countless times on our blog. Update: My love is still burning strong for this stackable trend, but the newest iteration is with rings. I’m particularly smitten with this collection of skinny rings from Pandora. This is the perfect gift to bestow on that lady on your [...]

Designer spotlight: Heidi Daus – plus giveaway!
It’s no secret that I’m enamoured with bejewelled accessories. My love affair cropped up when I hit puberty, which was also right around the time I first stumbled upon Heidi Daus Designs. As a cash-strapped teen there was no better place to shop than my grandmother’s and mother’s jewelry boxes. I frequently took it upon myself to rummage [...]

Cool new collab: Anna Dello Russo does H&M
Yesterday H&M announced its latest collaboration — but this time around it’s not with a designer. For the first time it’s with a living style icon, Anna Dello Russo. The Vogue Japan director-at-large is set to launch an accessory line with the fast-fashion Swedish retailer this fall. What can you expect from the fashion maniac’s accessory line [...]

Trend alert: Show off your arm party
One of my all-time favourite fashion terms is “arm party.” What does it mean? In a nutshell, an arm party is all about layering your wrist(s) with different combinations of bracelets, bangles and decorative elastics. Some say that The Man Repeller, Leandra Medine, coined the term about a year ago, but I beg to differ. I’ll give [...]

Attention fashion keeners: Yellow for spring
The happiest colour trend of the season is unquestionably yellow. The bright, bold, sunny hue isn’t for the wallflower types, it’s a shade that guarantees to get your noticed. I adore all the various iterations, from taxi cab yellow to neon and pastel yellow to a deep mustard — as far as I’m concerned, it’s all [...]
