Just One Thing: Sorel Boots

2009 December 23

Sorel Helen of Tundra boots, $150

This year, Sorel dressed up the ol’ tried-and-true winter boot and gained a lot of street cred along the way.

Keeping the tootsies toasty at -25 never looked so trendy.

Holiday Gifts: Glorious Red

2009 December 21

paper-source.com

Rudolph’s nose. Holly berries. Santa’s suit. What do these three things have in common? The colour red of course! Red is one of the most prominent colours during the holidays. Although head-to-toe red might be a bit too Mrs. Claus, adding hints of red to your wardrobe (or your surroundings) is festive and cheery.  (Or, you can just be like me and wear red all year long because it’s such a strong and powerful colour!) 

It’s the little things that count…

Fashion Finalists

2009 December 18

This week’s high achievers are: Christina Ricci in an unbelievable chiffon gown by Marc Jacobs (!), Zoe Saldana wearing a modernized mermaid dress by RM by Roland Mouret, Victoria Beckham in one of her gowns from her spring 2010 collection, and Liz Hurley in a soft lavender gown topped with a lovely white fur vest (although we’d be concerned about pics of this outfit when Liz is walking- that slit is scary high).

Fashion faux pas Friday: Sarah Jessica Parker

2009 December 18

Vote ‘em! Yay or Nay to this look on Sarah Jessica Parker by L’Wren Scott? We love the fuschia strapless mini paired with purple shoes, but the velvet overcoat and matchy-matchy hat? Really?

Fashion faux pas Friday: Kate Moss

2009 December 18

Vote ‘em! Yay or Nay to Kate Moss’ black concoction worn to the British Fashion Awards in London last week?

I just don’t know where to look; not to mention my problem with that loopy belt, the severe hair, and the clunky shoes. Someone’s trying too hard!

Yay or Nay: Kate in black blazer and sheer dress-?
