Eye of the Tiger

March 30th, 2010
MARCH 30TH, 2010 Eye of the Tiger Marie Claire style and accessories director Taylor Tomasi Hill (pictured) inspired us to dye our mousy brown mane a shade of fiery red last year. Now, a recent Refinery29 story on our modern style muse has us coveting her cat eye sunglasses too. Her tortoise pair ($250) is from the new Norma Kamali eyewear collection, but after a little style stalki ...

Wonderland Weekend

March 29th, 2010
MARCH 29TH, 2010 Wonderland Weekend To celebrate the release of Alice in Wonderland, there has been all matter of Alice-themed paraphernalia. But we think the best way to honor Lewis Carroll’s classic is with a very merry un-birthday tea party. Hotel Vancouver has rejigged its afternoon tea to be Wonderland-inspired. Playing cards are strewn across the table undern ...

MARCH 27TH, 2010 Encore Stella We’ve never been shy about going back for seconds. And when it comes to shopping, our philosophy’s the same. If you were one of the lucky gals who snagged the Stella McCartney snow leopard dress, tutu or Miller jacket for your tots at GapKids last season, lucky you. And for the other 99 per cent of us who didn’t get there in time, we n ...

Decked Out

March 25th, 2010
MARCH 25TH, 2010 Decked Out Now that clocks have sprung forward and cherry blossoms are blooming, it’s time to think about prettying the patio. And the easy way (i.e. no green thumb required) is with a pair of Gallant & Jones deckchairs. Inspired by the 1920s variety and handmade in Vancouver by best friends, the folding chairs come in two styles, the more basic Beach and the deluxe ...

Vintage Vantage

March 24th, 2010
MARCH 24TH, 2010 Vintage Vantage Was it dumb luck that we scored a vintage Balmain dress for $12? Somewhat, but we also stepped into the right consignment shop. Shaughnessy and Kitsilano label lovers supply the store with lots of mature brands like St. Johns and Lida Baday, but there are gems for the younger set too. Like a tweed and leather-trim Michael Kors suit ...

Decades after the line epitomized jet-set style among the coolest actresses and socialites, diffusion line Halston Heritage has launched with perennial fashion It Girl Sarah Jessica Parker at the helm. She models the white jers ...

Over the Moon

March 20th, 2010
MARCH 20TH, 2010 Over the Moon In tot land, kids are either running around the park in too-small flood pants or jostling in the sandbox with half of their behind hanging out. Get control of unruly bottoms with cinch belts ($18) for boys and girls from Bubalugbaby.com. We love the super cool skull bursts design (pictured) and the adorable pink and teal argyle print. ...
