Fashion is overwhelming.
Last summer I posted about colour blocking for fall and included pieces from the Jil Sander Fall 2011 collection.
Since posting, I have seen pieces from the collection popping up everywhere…. fashion editorials, on the red carpet, knocked off in my favourite stores…. If high fashion is something you pay attention to, you can’t [...]

Made You Blush – opening in Market Square April 1st!
I had heard through the grape vine *cough* that a new Made You Blush storefront was in the works for Uptown Saint John!
Yesterday afternoon it was confirmed on Twitter and then again by my very talented friend and soon to be “Gloss Boss“!
I had my very first Made You Blush experience earlier this month in [...]

Giveaway: Shopbop!
Congrats to Leigh-Ellen Thomas!
Spring is on the way! I have taken for granted how nice it’s been this “winter”. My front lawn is almost back to a pre-snow state and it’s not even March!
The beautiful (and surprisingly warm) weather has got me dreaming of new Spring pieces to supplement my uniform driven wardrobe….
I was not really [...]

Straight off the runway: The 2012 Oscars!
If there is a red carpet worth watching, this is it.
The stars come out in couture gowns, $1,000,000 diamonds and sky high heels to walk a red carpet and pose for cameras … before snuggling into a theatre seat for the Oscars show.
(I’m not sure if the term “stand up dress” applies at this show!)
Here are my [...]

Straight off the runway: McQ
Monday I posted the Fall 2012 Michael Kors collection and talked about how important EDITING is to me.
When I looked over Sarah Burton’s latest collection- I was floored! How can she keep the McQueen look with such simple, elegant, classic pieces?
Look 2 and Look 10 (below) are definite throwbacks to past collections with the [...]

What I’ll be wearing: Saint John Mill Rats!
My mornings become a little brighter when unexpected events fall into my lap.
Monday morning Nathalie Godbout from Lawson & Creamer Lawyers posted a trivia question about my favourite Saint John City Councillor (also a lawyer at Lawson Creamer), Mel Norton.
Next thing I know, I’m making a date to sit court-side for the Mill [...]

Straight off the runway: Michael Kors
What a week! I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to catch hardly any NYFW shows!
I did, however, make a point to sit down and soak up the Michael Kors Fall 2012 RTW show…. and I was not disappointed.
Michael Kors has editing down to a science. His looks are so creative and [...]

Straight off the runway: Rachel Zoe
I’ve said it before, but I absolutely ADORE Spring Fashion Week.
There is nothing more exciting then looking at runway looks and recreating them at work the next day or on the weekend with your girlfriends.
Rachel Zoe’s Fall collection is perfect. Menswear inspired looks with the 70s edge she’s known for. Totally into it.
After seeing a [...]
