A rabbit-fur tassel might not radiate the same luck as a rabbit’s foot, but it can’t hurt your chances of a fortuitous 2012. In either slinky gunmetal or playful Day-Glo green, these bracelets by Vancouver Island–based Erika Lauren Design (erikalaurendesign.com) add instant charm to a New Year’s Eve getup. Made with found materials, they leave a light eco-footprint too. At Dream ($45 each, 311 W. Cordova St., 604-683-7326). Read more »

A beauty splurge for New Year’s Eve

1 Comment

New Year’s Eve is one night where venturing into over-the-top territory is perfectly acceptable, dare we say encouraged. Beyond the dress, the shoes, the jewellery (oh, god and the hair, the manicure, and new stockings, we need to make a list, we’re not ready), we’re also adding to our want list Guerlain’s limited edition La Nuit en Rose makeup kit ($230, guerlain.com).

The daily steal: Lingerie, $13

An Italian tradition holds that if you give a pair of red underwear to a loved one for Christmas and she wears it on December 31, then throws it away on New Year’s Day, she will reap good fortune, health and love all year long. La Vie en Rose (lavieenrose.com) sells a lacy red thong in a matching satin box–legend notes included. Why not invest in your own future for a mere $13?

Win tickets to Greta Constantine’s New Year’s Eve party–Contest closed

Comments

Unless you are living in an episode of Gossip Girl, we’re willing to bet that there are too few masked balls on your social schedule. How lucky then that Greta Constantine, Shinan Govani and a handful of other Toronto cultural movers are hosting just such an event at the Burroughes Building on New Year’s Eve. The Top of The Burroughes New Year’s Eve Party is being thrown in the spirit of Truman Capote’s legendary 1966 Black and White Ball, where the writer’s famous friends arrived at New York’s Plaza Hotel with their faces hidden behind masks. All you need to do is show up looking fabulous and everything else (mask included) will be provided.

You can buy tickets at thetopoftheburroughesnye.com or you can win (!) one of the two pairs FASHION has to give away.

The first two people who email fashiondiaries@fashionmagazine.com with the answer to the following question will win a pair of passes:

What is the name of Greta Constantine’s men’s collection, which debuted at their Spring 2010 show? If you don’t know, you can dig for the answer here.

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED. THANKS FOR PLAYING!
