Though I aspire to be a diligent and committed laundry folder and organizer, the time has come to admit that if it doesn’t belong on a hanger, I’d rather just be doing something else. I have gazed in wonder at the regimented pj/workout clothes/ post-work lounge gear/ sections so neatly separated in friends’ wardrobes and felt shame at my inadequacy. This is one of many reasons I’m loving bamjamz. It’s all of the above and I’m absolved of calling this laziness. read more...

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 01/12/2010 - 12:24.

It's easy for us to come up with who we think deserves the title of Top Style Icon of the decade and maybe we can decipher the trends that the 2000's will forever be associated however narrowing the field to Top 5 Designers is pretty tricky. Rather then dream up all three - we turned to the woman in Toronto who is absolute authority on terrific fashion - Barbara Atkin, Vice President Fashion Direction for Holt Renfrew. We loved what she had to say: read more...

What we are wearing to TIFF

1. WOLFORD STOCKINGS THAT SCREAM SEX
On September nights that aren't quite warm enough to do the bare legged thing we rely on the expensive, but worth the investment, Wolford stockings. The UK brand, available at Holts, is pricey but will have you power strutting the red carpet this year and next - cause they don't tear, run or transcend into yarn ball dull tights that hang four inches lower than your crotch. Although skanked up holey tights are trendy, let's reserve that look for when we want to blend in like some starving art student.
Holt Renfrew - approx $50
2. H&M Army Jacket
Nothing says authority like a crisp uniform. Don-t be mistaken for a party crasher, even if you are one, go for a look that exudes confidence.
H&M - $49.95
3. Kimberly Ovitz black dress with ribcage like slicing on the derriere
HOT - bring out the S&M seductress for dark films that make you feel all f*cked up inside and evoke sizzling debate over copious amounts of red wine.
Holt Renfrew - $640.00

You spend hours primping for a glamorous event-hair blown out to here, makeup just so, the killer dress with the feet-killer shoes that make your legs look a thousand miles long. You hit the red carpet-flashes popping, fake eyelashes batting, tall dark and handsome escort supplying a steady stream of dirty martinis and whispered compliments. At the end of the night, you've soared miles up to the penthouse, taken in the view from the balcony, kissed under the stars, and it's time for bed. Wait-what's going on under there? When it comes to a big night out, make sure every inch of fabric covering your beautiful body is golden-age-of-Hollywood glamorous. Who better to inspire late-night luxury than the leading ladies of an era past-women who did the saucy pin-up, the subtle seduction, and the bedroom eyes, better than anyone. To make sure you feel movie-star-glamorous in your sexy underneaths, get the girls at Secrets From Your Sister to fit you with the perfect style for your body type. You can walk in feeling like last week's box-office disaster and walk out feeling like a million dollars worth of Hollywood gold. read more...

Every Vintage Vixen who adores vintage fashion knows that there is a fine line between wearing vintage with style and looking like a cheesy Halloween costume. Australian designer Melanie Greensmith truly understands this fine line and her clothing label, Wheels and Doll Baby, is the definition of vintage inspired clothing that is loaded with style.
Since 1987, Greensmith has been creating the most delicious dresses, cardigans, and skirts with a distinct retro/rockabilly vibe. Everything from intricately beaded cardigans to leopard print blazers has adorned celebrities and vintage vixens alike. read more...
