Matthew Williamson Sunglasses: Eye Candy

Matthew Williamson has been bringing a kaleidoscope of colourful prints to the fashion industry for over a decade now. He was Elle magazine’s 2004 Designer of the Year, and has since then evolved into a playful and charismatic trendsetter. This year he featured an exclusive collection at the Swedish label, H&M, which brought bold colors and frilly details to our summer wardrobe-but it's his new sunglasses we're lusting over. His Summer ‘09 Collection features a series of fab accessories, including these cool shades. He experimented with vintage styles by incorporating a modern, edgy look. Whether it’s trendy aviator or retro chic, you can count on Williamson to do it right.

Love the high-waisted look, but feel like it’s a little played out now? Throw a little bit of spice into traditional high-waisted skirts: kink it up with some big, bold, buttons. Not only are they chic and pretty, but also fun and flirty. Dress them up or down with a pair of thick pumps or slinky flats. Whether you go with barely-there tights, or just simply nude legs, these playful skirts can be picnic-worthy adorable or kicked up a notch to fierce.

Vintage Vixen

Perversion with a Touch of Class

Perversion with a Touch of Class

by Rosanna Carlucci
Anyone knows that the key to being a true Vintage Vixen lies in the ability to be both a lady and a vamp. In the spirit of bad girls like Mae West, who looked like a lady but talked like a trucker, comes clothing and accessory line Locher’s, from designer Nicole Locher.

Debuting in 2005, the line includes fun and flirtatious tops and accessories that are a combination of modern and vintage with a sexy little twist. Inspired by vintage embroidery, Nicole creates modern day clothing with vintage patterns and not so vintage slogans embroidered onto each piece.  Favourites include, “Will Fuck For Shoes” and “Best Piece of Ass In Town”.  read more...

What Goes Around Comes Back Around

What Goes Around Comes Back Around

By Kayla Soriano

Fashion waits for no one. But it seems we are always waiting for it. We hold on to those expensive sunglasses or jeans and hope that when they go out of style, they will soon make their way back onto the fashion scene (while we can still fit in them). This summer a few trends are making their reappearance after a long absence. read more...

Farrah Fawcett-Style Inspiration

Farrah Fawcett-Style Inspiration

Remember this poster? Well you should - It was hanging over your older brother’s bed during the reign of Charlie’s Angels in the 70s.

This blonde bombshell turned heads with her sun-kissed skin and iconic hair. The “Farrah hair” far outlasted the “Rachel do” of the 90s, and inspired numerous international designers to shape their collections around this sex symbol. She represented freedom and natural beauty through her high-waisted denim and braless looks in the heyday of the hit TV sitcom. read more...

Buy Local

Buy Local

By Bec Shrimpton

While shopping around at a craft show in the Beaches neighbourhood a couple of weekends ago, I discovered an amazing Ontario brand offering incredibly good-for-you products. Bee By The Sea‘s Sea Buckthorn and Honey Body Cream and Lip Balm are packed full of natural organic ingredients like honey, royal jelly, vitamins, and oil from the sea buckthorn plant, which is a major source of antioxidants. The products are developed in Ontario and are never tested on animals. It just doesn’t get much better then that. I tried out the lip balm and, seriously, I could make out for hours with this stuff. It is incredibly softening, just like the body cream, which has a super light and fresh scent.

It just feels good to use quality products that were made nearby. Real good.

CKIN2U HEAT

CKIN2U HEAT

Calvin Klein spices up this summer with the launch of CKIN2U Heat – an erotic combination of fruits and flowers. Dubbed as the “modern cocktail,” (no, not that kind) for its combination of appletini accord, blood orange, orchid, frangipani, ginger, cedar, sandalwood and creamy musk, this is a scent for lounging poolside, sipping wine on a patio, or sneaking away from the yacht party with a steamy summer romance. Summer is all about keeping it fresh, so pair this fragrance with some bold new items, and get a look as refreshing as a passion iced tea lemonade-but don't forget, the best option to beat summer heat is stripping down, and on long, hot summer nights, CKIN2U might be all you need to wear. read more...
