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 [...]

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.

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. [...]

Editor’s Tested: At-home gel manicure systems

Editor’s Pick: Giada De Laurentiis’s nail art
Giada De Laurentiis is not just an amazing chef and Food Network personality. She’s also apparently way ahead of the curve when it comes to nail art. At the launch of Target Canada last week in Toronto (the store hits the GTA in March) myself and Home & Garden Director Brett Walther had a few moments to sit down [...]

Editor’s pick: Essie Sleek Stick nail collection
I want to be the kind of woman who always has pristine nails. I also want a pony, but I know that ain’t happening anytime soon. At least I’ve finally found solutions to my mani woes. Nail stickers! These might seem juvenile but trust me, any age and ability can wear them and I’m officially obsessed. [...]
