God Save the Queen Event – Designer Panel and Trunk Show

Unfortunately because of ever-present traffic on the highways, I was a bit delayed in reaching The Bay so I ended up being a little late to the event. (Sorry everyone…)

Favorite Looks from New York Fashion Week Spring 2011 – Part I

With TIFF madness in Toronto, I’ve barely had a chance to check out any of the shows from New York Fashion Week for Spring 2011. From what I’ve seen and heard, minimalism seems to be the main trend of most shows for this season. Lots of whites, beiges and greys instead of the bright colors that we have seen in Spring collections in the past few years.  There were gauzy … Continue reading Favorite Looks from New York Fashion Week Spring 2011 – Part I
