Lingerie by Christine Vancouver

Lingerie by Christine Vancouver

On a recent trip to my local organic grocery store I saw a sign that read, “Feeling good starts on the inside.” While most people read this phrase and think to themselves, “must eat more fruit and veggies,” diehard fashionistas stop dead in their tracks, turn around and head straight for Night Owl Imports (10180 101st St., 780-423-7757, nightowlimports.com), a well-known designer lingerie boutique and purveyor of all things lace, silk and satin.

Saskatoon: A clutch of parties

Comments

The holiday season is upon us and there is no time I love more than Christmas.  I love it all: the busyness, shopping, baking, shopping, decorating, shopping and music. It’s also the time of year when the most glitz and glamour emerges from our closets (and we search for some new head turners).

Guelph: Cosmos on a Sunday afternoon

2 Comments

Sometimes there just aren’t enough stylish events happening in Guelph.  But when a dry spell hits, a few dedicated fashion advocates step in to create some fashionable fun. This week marked the DVD release of the Sex and the City movie and with a screening at the Bookshelf Cinema downtown (41 Quebec Street, bookshelf.ca), there was no better time to throw a party. Though the movie debuted in theatres months ago, a group of fabulous folks jumped at the chance to celebrate, but this time with cosmos in hand.

Montreal: Pop up fashion

Comments

My favorite festival is finally heading our way! The ever expanding Pop Montréal (October 1-5, popmontreal.com) will strike again from this year, invading the streets, bars and churches with music, film, art and of course—our reason to live—fashion. Aside from the shows I can’t wait to attend, Puces Pop, the fashion branch of the festivities is presenting many events to prove once again that music and fashion don’t just have a fling, but a marriage.

Winnipeg: Sex and the District

Comments

One of my favorite areas of the city is the Exchange District. Cobblestone streets wrap around its old historic buildings and a park sits quietly in the middle of its busy intersections. And when the sun is setting, it paints everything a dusty pink. While the area isn’t known for its wild nightlife there is one night of the year when nothing closes, the streets fill with people and music and everything comes alive.

Back to school

Comments

This chilly breeze, the urgent emails coming in madly, the end of half-day Fridays: Like it or not, it’s time to stop the partying and lingering and to get the schedule back on (crazy) track.

But before I can make an appearance at all the events (the Browns fashion show, Ogilvy’s shoe department launch, lunches, cocktail parties, there’s so much to do!) I seriously need to get rid of the summer’s laisser-aller beauty regimen.

Toronto: Lovesick and swooning

Comments

Canada’s most anticipated music event, the Virgin Festival took place on Toronto Island over the weekend. Against the backdrop of the city skyline and the scent of lake water was a sea of nodding heads, swaying arms and screaming fans leaping across blankets of mud and grass.
