Guelph: Stylishly unkempt
Photography by Heather Loney
If there is one thing that gave me cause for celebration at Toronto Fashion Week it is the return of smoky eyes and bed head. The ‘Whoops, I went to bed last night without taking off my eye makeup and there is no time to shower’ look is the only one I have ever been able to pull off successfully.
I had a chance to chat backstage at Fashion Week with L’Oréal Paris official hair artist Eric Del Monaco and official makeup artist Eddie Maleterre, and get the inside scoop on what they were creating for the collections.

Guelph: Gold rush
Spring’s love affair with all things golden may be the opulence we need to distract us from dreary economic times. Luckily, a glint of gold does not have to be extravagantly priced. It’s not about the cost–it’s about catching the eye, and adding something special to the season’s nude palette.

Guelph: Toms brings shoes to kids in need (and right to your door)
I think I’m in love. For the past few months I have been searching for a pair of casual spring shoes, hoping that if I have the shoes, perhaps the snow will melt. I’ve been flip-flopping: Vans or Converse? Chucks? Keds? It’s been so long since I’ve had a good pair of slip-ons…I didn’t know where to turn. And then, in a random conversation with a friend, all sole dilemmas were solved. He told me about Toms Shoes (tomsshoes.com). And my search was over.

Guelph: A gourmet round-up for Valentine’s Day
Photography by Heather Loney
I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. I do however believe in surprising the people you love. So, in the spirit of totally shocking surprises, I have decided to do something really out-there on February 14. It’s kind of sexy, perhaps even a little dangerous, and my fiancé will never expect it: I am going to cook. To make this experience less intimidating, I decided to shop for food the same way I shop for clothing—forego the one-stop-shopping mall or grocery store, and hit up small, independent boutiques, gourmet bakeries, cheese shops and markets. It may take a little longer, but I figure if this is the one meal in 2009 that I’m cooking, I can put a little extra effort into it.

Guelph: Guelph’s coziest Wi-Fi
Photography by Heather Loney
Despite all efforts to shop locally, sometimes the sartorial solution just cannot be found in one’s backyard. In these situations, I retire to my favourite wireless hotspot, cozy up to my laptop and let the world of Internet shopping unfold before me.
