Being Toronto Fashion Week and all, it seemed only fitting that we’d want to bag stalk the lady who holds the keys to it all. Debra Goldblatt is head honcho of one of Toronto’s highest profile entertainment and lifestyle public relations firms, rock-it promotions, and has got her well-moisturized helping hands in everything from show and backstage access to designer relations. Alongside her team of awesome associates, Goldblatt is responsible for some of the biggest and best parties throughout the rest of the year as well, including the Festival Music House during TIFF, and just about every major happening at Queen Street West’s longstanding hub The Drake Hotel. Funnily enough, you wont find any actual keys inside this bag, but what you will find is plenty of vitamins, mementos, and even a mini Power Ranger to keep this powerhouse going.

Are these Tom Ford glasses the most expensive ever created? Possibly. Do we want them? Yes!
Leave it to the high priest of pricey to once again surpass the bar for what we thought of as luxe. Launching in April at his namesake boutiques, Tom Ford has created a special edition ‘50s-inspired eyewear collection using only the finest materials. Sure to become collector favourites, the water buffalo horn (because that is a real thing) frames include gold-plated metal “T” accents, and come packaged in a Bakelite box complete with chamois cloth and cleansing cream. And what do they retail for, you may ask? A whopping $2,950. All in a month’s income.

What’s in your bag, Amy Burstyn-Fritz?
Today we’re going inside the bag belonging to our favourite marketing/public relations/art world gal about town, Amy Burstyn-Fritz. Known for her killer wardrobe (“Oh this? It’s Katrantzou”), and her ability to be the life of the party—even at 10 a.m. (“Are you going to finish that?”), Burstyn is equally awesome on all accounts. Her linen Yves Saint Laurent Muse bag is equally awesome. So without further ado, let’s check it out!

It’s official! (Wasn’t it already?) Hedi Slimane is confirmed at Yves Saint Laurent

Well, we thought this had already been settled, but now it’s written in stone: Hedi Slimane is officially taking over from Stefano Pilati at Yves Saint Laurent. Cue the applause from skinny pant–wearing ladies and gents everywhere! The designer, who worked at the house in the late ‘90s, has long seemed a natural fit for the brand—perhaps even more natural than Pilati, who’s held the position since 2004 but never quite reached the critical acclaim that both Yves Saint Laurent or Tom Ford did.

And the game of musical chairs continues! Stefano Pilati will leave Yves Saint Laurent following the Fall 2012 show in Paris

Photography by Peter Stigter
Just three days after the Raf for Jil swap, Yves Saint Laurent has announced that creative director Stefano Pilati will leave the company’s helm following the collection’s Fall show later this week in Paris.
Pilati’s ride at YSL has been a bit of a bumpy one with critically inconsistent collections. But despite a lack of support from YSL heavyweights (Yves Saint-Laurent himself once told WWD, “Some of what he does is good. Some of it is not so good.”), Pilati has rocketed the house towards considerable commercial success (though not quite at Gucci-era Tom Ford levels) with his conception of hit accessories like the Muse bag and Tribute shoe. More than a feat in these financial times, right?

Who wore it best? View our top 12 picks from the Oscars red carpet and vote for your favourite
Some of the top Fall runway trends made their way deep into red carpet territory tonight, as the A-listers put on Hollywood’s biggest and best parade. From the rich reds on Emma Stone and Natalie Portman seen this season on the runway at Michael Kors, to the crisp whites on Gwyneth Paltrow, Rooney Mara, and Octavia Spencer seen at Raf Simons‘ last Jil Sander collection (not to mention everywhere at the Golden Globes), to the peplums spotted on Michelle Williams, Tina Fey, and just about every runway from New York to Milan, it seems that everyone is drinking the same Kool-Aid. But who did it best? We’re loving Gwyneth, Michelle, Jessica, Rooney, and Angelina (her right leg gets a special shout-out), but who makes your cut? Check out our top 12 picks and vote for your favourite after the jump!

Afternoon beauty fix: 2 investment-worthy approaches to whiter teeth

I don’t have to give up twice-daily cappuccinos to make my look teeth whiter, do I?
Don’t worry—I won’t advise you to stop indulging in coffee, red wine, or blueberry pie. Those treats are too enjoyable to give up when there are a variety of different options to consider for a whiter smile. Read more »

Where to begin. With the celebs? Lana Del Rey (carrying the namesake Del Rey bag from the ever-growing fashion house), Michelle Williams, the surprisingly petite Elizabeth Olsen, Leigh Lezark, and Ladies Mary and Edith Crawey—I mean Michelle Dockery and Laura Carmichael—all sat front row at Mulberry; and then there were the models (Jacquetta Wheeler, Irina Lazareanu) and It girls Poppy Delevigne and model/It girl/socialite Caroline Sieber at Matthew Williamson.
