J Crew Style Sessions

J Crew Style Sessions

J Crew hosted it first ever style sessions in Calgary, AB last Thursday at Chinook Centre and I was there as a contributing Personal Stylist where I pulled together my favourite fall looks! Attendees had the opportunity to learn how to rock the J Crew layered look and how to accessories in new and exciting ways, plus possibly be featured in the upcoming Style Guide!

What I love about J Crew is the amount of colour, print and textures that come out in every collection whether it be S/S or F/W.

Layering mixed prints with some signature bling.
Excursion Vest in Stripe $160USD and Boy shirt $89USD in polka dot.

Nothing says J Crew like the jewels!

Mixed crystal and resin stacked necklaces. Both $178USD

Talking Trends With Lisa Tant At Holt Renfrew ~ Fall 2013

We were excited to be invited to see Lisa Tant, former Editor in Chief of Flare magazine and current Vice President Fashion Editor at Holt Renfrew, preview the Fall trends. It was a wonderful event hosted at Holts in the CORE, mingling with with Moet, catching up with our fashion friends and taking in some steller style.

Lisa's top trends for Fall/Winter 2013 were 'Coat Check' - oversized coats, 'Pretty in Punk' - leather, plaid, studs, 'Black, White & Red', 'Print Masters' - multiple prints, 'Fur Frenzy' - luxe furs, real or faux.

It was great event, an extremely well styled show and lots of fun!

Kudos to the Holts team!

Cheers!

Silver Icing

Silver Icing Online & Retail

Silver Icing is based out of British Columbia and is helmed by entrepreneur Christina Marcano (previous partner in Skyler Clothing). The philosophy for Silver Icing is simple "have your cake and eat it too, there is no need to sacrifice fashionability or quality for affordability"

Why I love Silver Icing is because they have super cute clothing that is eco-conscious and affordable! My three top favourites are: the Carrie Romper (so hot), the Heidi Pant & the Stila Pant.

The Carrie Romper is currently my fav piece! I would style it with long layered necklaces, colourful wedge sandals and beach ready hair.

Carrie Romper: Wide full leg, strapless, waist defining. Made in the USA. $69.95

Heidi Pant is available for Pre-Order. I am loving these because they are comfy, casual but still on trend. Think Alexander Wang for inspiration. I would style this with a graphic t-shirt and a long cardigan for running errands.

Heidi Pant: 59% Cotton, 41% Poly. Made in the USA. $54.95

The Stila Pant is a staple pant for Fall/Winter! You can not beat the sexy skinny fit, gold hardware and zipper accents on the front pockets and at the ankle. I would style this with a chunky knit or oversized cashmere sweater and booties for the chilly seasons to come.
