Ones to watch: Leilanni Todd handcrafts for the girls about town

Comments

Photography by Leilanni Todd

We love Toronto-based designer Leilanni Todd, for her hand-crafted and affordable wears, but mostly, we’re really into the laid-back attitude and style of her clothes. A fresh new take on the basics, her wears are the type you want in every colour.

Todd has been working alongside other designers for years, and ventured out on her own two years ago. Since then she’s been working with mostly jersey and leather, making turbans and turban headbands, mullet T-shirts and dresses, and leather-paneled shorts and leggings—and most are available in a variety of colours and patterns. Her styles are undeniably cute, and can be made-to-order with your exact measurements, which is a pretty sweet deal for custom-made threads.

With our bronze glows fading and days turning brisk, it’s time to haul out the hosiery. Hoseanna (hoseanna.com) takes the legwork out of buying it. This online store, co-founded by Vancouverite Katrina Carroll-Foster, replenishes your stockings automatically every one, two or three months. Take a cue from the Fall 2011 Marc Jacobs runway (shown) and don a polka-dot pair by Hanes ($10).

The daily steal: Zippered leggings, $25

Comments

Someone remarked the other day on my collection of oversized button-downs, and it’s true–I do have a lot of them. Anchoring this daily uniform is a pair of skinny jeans or legging pants. I love this zippered pair (aldoaccessories.com) and at only $25, I can also splurge on some new shirts to pair them up with.

The steal: Wilfred’s faux-leather leggings

oct09wilfredSo much for not shopping! I blew that big time when I deked out of work early recently to hit Aritzia (aritzia.com).  I am absolutely blown away by their in-house Wilfred line.  I’ve been watching it for a few seasons but WOW has it ever exploded–great styling and just the prices I’m willing to shell out for all the season’s “it” pieces.
