Merchandising and online creations at Leslie’s is a blast. Today I styled up a few posts for the blog features… usually inspired from outfits I wear myself. Check out the Leslie’s blog here.

Jesse and I live in a beautiful heritage home, but if you know anything about old homes, closet space is not a priority. Our guest room originally was half a closet, half a sleeping place for guests. Things were a little crammed, and for a fashion lover, closet space is a priority (if you have the space). We decided to turn our very neglected office into a small walk in closet. By no means is it a professional walk-in (which […]

Last Wednesday Jen and I enjoyed Saffrons Fall Fashion Show, featuring their Fall 2012 collection that they are selling in store now. We were greeted at the door with a warm welcome, a glass of wine, and the choice between several delicious hors d’oeuvres. Raffle tickets were also handed out, giving each guest a chance to win a Love Heals necklace. Ironically , being one of the only men in attendance I held the winning ticket. I had the pleasure of […]

We both love shopping boutiques; however, it is rare to find a shop that we both equally love. ‘We both found love’, as Rihanna might say at Saffron Road! This well established Richmond Row (London) boutique offers Jennifer plenty of sophisticated elegant fashion selection, and also offers Jesse a selection of men’s casual wear, James Perse and J Shoes being two of his favourite purchases thus far. We’d like to thank Gail-Lynn and all the ladies of Saffron for being […]

A golden year for me… in a few ways… but one way that particularly stands out was in accessories. I loved accessorizing with gold; however, I really wanted to switch it up for an eventful evening with a dash of silver. It was difficult at first to come across funky silver jewelry pieces, seeing as how gold is so “in” right now… but after two malls, and several boutiques, I was able to pull off the look I was striving […]

As a little girl, I remember going everywhere with my Mum. One of these venues was an old house… where we would go upstairs, and she would get her haircut, and the odd time I got my hair cut as well. This location isn’t just an old house, but a character home turned into a hair salon/boutique Winnipeg knows as Edward Carriere. Now as an adult, I truly appreciate the character of this building, the fabulous hairdressers/staff, and the unique […]

One of the first booth’s I came across at the One of a Kind show was ‘Moon Rox’. The creator of Moon Rox, Monique definitely set the bar high for the rest of the booths at the show. I was so impressed with her jewelry, and the way her product was displayed. These fresh, fun and vibrant pieces are the perfect addition to any outfit you might wear! What inspires you to create the beautiful pieces Moon Rox has? This is one […]

Unfortunately I’ve been that shopper who has been clogging up the mall with my many shopping bags (made extra large because of box requests), also I’m usually carrying a heavy winter jackets matched perfectly with an oversized purse. Fortunately I also have been a “wise Christmas shopper” who has done a LOT of shopping from the comfort of my own home… online! Many people are skeptical of online purchases, there is always the chance something won’t fit properly; however, many […]

If you are in the Toronto area, or even two hours away like myself, be sure to come out and support the talented artists of the One of a Kind show. The sale will be open to the public November 24th through to December 4th. Thanks to Olena Zylak and her team, they were kind enough to suggest that I should apply to be “press” at the event, in which I did, and was accepted. They also have supplied […]

At the beginning of his designer journey, Inder Bedi describes himself as a “frustrated vegan” student who launched forward a business proposal. And no surprise here; Bedi’s astute business skills and expertise in fashion accessories landed him MATT + NAT, a little Montreal vegan bag collection, nearly fifteen years later. His compilation of purses, bags, and accessories are environmentally friendly, incredibly trendy, and represent a household name known across North America and the U.K. We find proof of this as we […]
