It's not Playboy, It's Easter

As a teenager, Easter doesn't mean that much to me anymore.  When I was little, my dad would hide chocolate (sometimes it was candy) around the house, but even then, it was never really that exciting.  Some of my friends have been overjoyed lately at the prospect of Cadbury Creme Eggs, and so I've decided to give in and celebrate Easter this...

Sister and Brother

I'm not usually overly excited about celebrity labels, and The Row by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen is no exception.  However, a dress from their younger line, Elizabeth and James, has caught my eye: I saw this silk dress in Holt Renfrew, and it features laser cut holes, which were what drew me towards the dress in the first place.  The detailing...

Solange Wilvert

At the request of Fashion Cappuccino, Solange Wilvert is up next on this blog's model feature! Solange is a Brazilian model who was discovered during a casting session at her public school.  She is known for her long legs (she is 6 feet!), and has been referred to as the "tall Kate Moss".  Since her discovery, she has walked for and worked...

Big, Bold and Beautiful

Finally, after much waiting, the second issue of my school newspaper has come out.  Seeing as this is the March 2011 issue (it was supposed to come out in March), naturally I would write about spring trends.  Again, I surely don't expect or want you to read the entire thing, but what you can see is that I choose a look from Jil Sander to...

Chloé: A story of lust

Lately, it seems as if Holt Renfrew has not been skimping when it comes to making its customers feel welcomed!  Everytime I shop there, I have been greeted by complimentary drinks from Starbucks and chocolate.  This time, I was greeted with glasses of white and red wine (which, of course, I did not try), and a piece of absolutely delicious...

Top Designer + Top Model

My friend and dear reader sent me this video to check out, and it was extremely thoughtful since I'm pretty sure she knows how much I love Coco Rocha.  On June 17, 2011, there will be a Jean Paul Gaultier retrospective covering the past 35 years, featuring both ready-to-wear and haute couture pieces...

Wakeema Hollis

At the request of socialitedreams, Wakeema Hollis is up next on this blog's model feature! This Tennessee-born model is known for her luscious bee-stung lips and for enthusiastically rocking her natural hair on camera.  She's also known as Hollis Wakeema, as she tends to use Hollis as her first name. There aren't many photos of Wakeema when she's...

Lucian Matis Fall/Winter 2011 RTW

I know I said I was finished with my Fashion Week Marathon, but I can't pass up a chance to take a look at some Canadian talent!  Of all the collections shown at Toronto Fashion Week, Lucian Matis in particular has amazed me.  I first found out about him through Project Runway Canada, and I followed his progress throughout the series. ...

Fashion Week Diary

After posting Elizabeth Cabral's Fashion Week Diary, Fashion Cappuccino asked to see photo-blogger Tommy Ton's diary, and I have finally gotten around to posting it!  The text is once again taken from the September 2010 issue of Flare. Tommy Ton spends little time in his hometown of Toronto.  Instead, fashion weeks from Sydney to Paris keep...
