Fall Beauty Looks Part 3

One, two, voila! Who says you can’t look fab under two minutes? At the Bottega Venetta fashion show, models lined up (literally) to have their eyes lined up! With a burst of color, the models at the fashion show donned eyeshadows that were ready to burst and pop with cute colors that will brighten your [...]

Fall Beauty Looks Part 2

My natural waves are starting to freak out on me as this season’s newest trend goes all wispy and straight. Looking adorable in curls are still cute but the straight hair look is making a big comeback. Seen here at the Emilio Pucci fashion show, straight hair can go from chic to glam in 1 [...]

A little absent

Sorry for not being very bloggy in the last few days but I am not even in the country so I cannot blog too freely or even post messages our other bloggers have written…
I will be back in a few days, I promise!

The Wood Purse

I believe in the magic of unique pursage. I shun the restrictions imposed on us by major labels with their giant buckles, swaths of butter leather and generic monstrosities and I bring to you instead “ this wooden purse.
This super cute clutch features Swedish front panels that come in zebra, birch or ebony veneers [...]

The Perfect Summer Dress

I decided to start looking for the perfect summer dress today. I’m sick and tired of spending all my money on shoes before I have a dress. Reason why? The dress can only be worn in the summer, so the pleasure of wearing it is postponed. That means there’s no instant gratification. I love instant [...]

Pretty (and colorful!) Dries Van Noten Pumps!

My god I have just fallen in love with a pair of Dries Van Noten pumps. I don’t just like these. I’m not just considering buying a pair. I’m looking at them and I actually feel aroused. Literally. I’ll do the psycho-babble this obviously justifies tomorrow with my psychologist friend — for now I’m [...]

BT on Location: Toronto

I’m on vacation in Toronto (soon to be making my way to Halifax, and if you don’t know where that is, then you are the kind of person that thinks Brazilians speak Spanish, labels everything from Asia as “Oriental,” and doesn’t know the capital of Finland. Sorry, I’m sensitive about Hali). Meanwhile, Toronto is;

Etsy Finds

Etsy.com is one of my favourite sites to find clothing, accessories, home items, and crafts from truly independent designers. Etsy is about one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces (a few thousand of them) as well as building a community for the designers’ themselves. I know that at my local market, there’s a weekly ‘Etsy’ table staffed by volunteer [...]

Totally Tulle.

So, I spent the last weekend flipping through my stack of August magazines (a very therapeutic process that involves tea, highlighters, pens, and post-it notes). It was all fall-trends-this and high-heeled-Oxford-shoes-that (it can get a bit repetitive after a while), when I stumbled on a couple of articles about Tulle. Oh, Tulle, you romantic [...]

BT on Music: St. Vincent

St. Vincent is the solo effort of Annie Clark, a member of The Polyphonic Spree and ultra-talented multi-instrumentalist. The album is strange, ethereal and a sweet hybrid between relaxed lounge and the exhilaratingly energetic.
The bulk of the album is backed by symphonic strings and orchestral touches, but particular tracks - like, What Me Worry [...]
