Calgary: Lara Presber
Posted on December 11, 2008
Prada in the Prairies by Bonnee McLachlan
As the Calgary fashion scene gains momentum, there’s one local designer who’s taking her success one sketch at a time. “I honestly have to pinch myself daily,” Lara Presber’s (larapresber.com) exclaims as we pore over the pages of her 2009 Spring collection, influenced by early 1900 aerial views of Kenyan landscapes.

Calgary: Plastic fantastic

A few years ago Mattel announced that, after 43 years of dating, its plastic bombshell had ended her love affair with Ken. A woman with dozens of jobs under her belt, from NASCAR driver to paleontologist, even Barbie couldn’t keep it together. At the time I remember feeling baffled by all the media attention their break-up demanded—maybe because I was more of a My Little Pony kind of girl.

Some women in this world never cease to amaze me with their ability to throw together stunning outfits with ease (cough: Rachel Bilson). More often than not, I forget there’s a celebrity stylist behind their glamorous look and give props to the star—tisk, tisk.

Calgary: New to you

Prada in the Prairies by Bonnee McLachlan
There’s a time in every woman’s life when she contemplates her closet. Yesterday was my day. I graze my fingertips over each and every piece of clothing, discovering old gems and envisioning where and when I’ll wear it again. I can’t think of a better time to do this than when the weather is turning. Knowing that there’s someone in Calgary who could use an extra layer this winter, I take what’s fallen out of rotation and drop it off at a local women’s shelter.

Calgary: Adorned, naturally

Prada in the Prairies by Bonnee McLachlan
More often that not, jewellery tends to be an afterthought in my morning routine. I often push it aside, like brussell sprouts at a Thanksgiving dinner. Before I hit up dessert (in this case, a delicious pair of pumps), I quickly adorn myself with little thought or consideration. It recently occurred to me that I may have missed out on that whimsical fairy phase that most pre-pubescent girls go through. I have never considered diamonds to be my best friend. More like a great aunt, twice removed.

Calgary: Reclaim your style

Prada in the Prairies by Bonnee McLachlan
I like to think of myself as a bit of an urban hippie. Not the rainbow flip-flop, tree-hugging, non-shaving kind, just a woman who wants to be part of the environmental solution, not the problem. So, when I have an opportunity to make an affordable eco-chic purchase, I jump at the chance.

Calgary: Pure jeanius

If you're anything like me, finding the perfect jeans comes a close second to bathing suit shopping in fitting room anxiety. My routine goes like this: I turn around, check my assets and proceed to do squats and lunges. (Why I don't bring in a set of free weights is beyond me.) I know I'm not alone in this.

As fall draws near, Calgarians tend to hold their breath, bracing themselves for a quick and abrupt end to summer. While savouring every last moment of warm weather can be disheartening to some, for others it means an opportunity to check out the latest in fall fashion. In autumn, the air is crisp and leaves are a riot of colours. For me, it’s a perfect recipe for handholding and a warm embrace.
