Get the look for less: Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum looked cute and casual at the L.A premiere of Hoodwinked. Her outfit include Miu Miu heels and Paige Denim jeans. But, because not everyone has a supermodel budget here is how you can get a very similiar look for less.

Favourites: Spring/Summer Nail Polish

I have a pretty large collection of nail polishes, but I only call a few favourites. In the winter, I stick to dark reds, forest greens, greys, navys and nudes. In the summer I like anything bright, but because one of my favourites (China Glaze's Japanese Koi) is a neon, sometimes I like to switch to nude shades. Here are a few of my favourites that I've been wearing regularly. (Despite the not so springy weather here in Toronto!)

I've never used up a whole bottle of nail polish but this ones getting pretty close!I got a manicure and pedicure with this colour at a salon last summer and unfortunately the bottle they used was almost empty and wasn't for sale. It was hard to search for, but I fnally got my hands on it and have been wearing it non stop ever since!

China Glaze 'Japanese Koi'


Every girl loves tiffany blue, and with this nail polish you can wear the box colour on your nails. This shade is definitely eye catching and looks great paired with bronzed skin!

China Glaze 'For Audrey'



A great coral colour for summer. Revlon polishes do require a few coats for the colours to look opaque and streak free on your nails. This colour is gorgeous and a good alternative if you aren't daring enough to pull off the neon shades.

Revlon 'Make Mine Mango'



If bright colours aren't your thing, the best way to ensure that your polish always matches any outfit you wear while staying on trend, is nude polish. Revlons 'Nude Chic' is the perfect nude, not to brown and muddy but has the perfect amount of pink udertone. Trust me, it wont make you look like you have mannequin hands!

Canadian Fashion: Everyone needs to know about Lucian Matis.

On day 3 of LG Fashion week, I took a break from the tents and quickly ran in my pumps all the way to Bay St. (Or maybe took the street car..) It took me way too long to find The Design Exchange, where Lucian Matis held his Fall 2011 fashion show. When I finally asked some fancy looking men in sharp suits, I made it just in time. When I arrived I was introduced to Lucian, and I was already impressed he was just as charming as he seemed on Project Runway. I took my seat, where I had a view of Glen Baxter and spent the minutes before the show dreaming about working at Fashion Television. When the music came on and the first girl came down the runway I knew the whole collection would be spectacular! A dress done entirely in crystals? A fringe maxi dress? Crochet mixed with beading? Yes please! Lucian Matis sure knows how to make a Canadian Fall and Winter season glamorous! Here are a few photos from the show:

Trend to Watch: Androgynous

The boundaries from Men's and Women's clothing is starting to get little blurry. The androgynous trend will be back yet again and stronger than ever in Fall 2011. While at a fashion show for Rogue Fashion Week this week, a model came down the runway in a tailored tuxedo with high waisted cropped pants, a bow tie, and brogues. I instantly thought of Janelle Monae. Not many feminine touches, but with loose waves and red lips, this trend is beyond sexy. Take a cue from some celebs who pull off the trend beautifully:

April Issues

I always get a little too excited when my favourite magazines come out with their newest issues. Here are a few of the April issues that I'll be picking up. I'm not loving Marie Claire's choice of using Abbie Cornish and Bradley Cooper for the Marie Claire couples issue (not complaining about Bradley Cooper..) I expect Limitless to be a bit of a flop. The cover that I first noticed on the newsstands was Elle, I'm a big fan of Amanda Seyfried and the Prada dress she is wearing, which was also worn by Hailie Stienfeld at the SAG awards.










Love Kate Winslets pixie cut and white blonde hair, even though the cut was faked with pins!

Film: Never Let Me Go

With the Oscars right around the corner, I decided to watch a film nominated to decide for myself if it was actually any good. After watching the Social Network, I was really hoping there would be something much better nominated, but I wont get into my hate for that movie. After watching Never Let Me Go, I'm now actually looking forward to the Oscars. Before, it was just about seeing Anne Hathaway host and the pretty gowns on the red carpet. This film is an adaptation of the novel by british author Kazuo Ishiguro. The movie is about three characters Ruth, Cathy, and Tommy who spend their childhood at an english boarding school where they learn that they were gentically designed as clones, and would begin donating their organs before they reach middle age. Sounds strange, I know. While years are passing by, Tommy and Ruth fall in love for a short period of time. That's all I'm going to say, before I give away the whole movie! It's not a strange Sci-Fi movie and it's not a sappy love story, it's the best of both worlds! And it stars Carey Mulligan so you know it's bound to be good.

Style Stalking: Clemence Poesy

Harry Potters Fleur Delacour and more recently known for her cameo on Gossip Girl, Clemence Poesy is showing up on small screens and silver screens everywhere. Her impressive acting skills aren't the only thing catching our eye. Clemence has been showing up to premieres and is seen in this months issue of Marie Claire magazine with her very european and simple style. Everyone can take a cue from Clemence's prim and always classy style.

Beauty Trend Alert: Bold Pink Lips

A major beauty trend this spring, are bold pink lips. Ditch the deep reds and berry shades for Soring, for a punch of bold colour. Hot pink lips can be seen on celebrities like Katy Perry and Natalie Portman, and even made a few appearances on the runway. Hot pink lips were seen at Spring fashion week shows for Cynthia Rowley, Jil Sander, and Diane Von Furstenburg. If you can't wait to try out this look, wear it now to add a pop of colour to your winter wardrobe.

What I'm loving...

I've definitely been neglecting this blog. With an internship and full time school, there isn't much time to post. But, after meeting Jeanne Beker today, who is the reason I ever became interested in a fashion journalism career, I feel the urge to post even more! and I will put up my Jeanne Beker interview and photo. But for now, here are a few of the items I've been loving this month (so far.):



OPI Katy Perry Collection 'Teenage Dreams'- If there was such a thing as a neautral glitter, this would be it! The glitter shows up great on your nails, and it's just the prettiest pink!

Michael Kors Fulton Open Toe shoes- I love these new flats! I just wish spring would hurry up, because I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing these non stop!

Soft waves- I'm loving the 70's trend right now, and that includes the hair. I've been curling my hair with a 1/4 inch curling iron and then brushing it out, to get the look of soft waves.

L'Oreal Elnett hairspray- Normally I hate hairprays, I could never find one that wasn't sticky or made my hair feel crunchy, L'Oreal Elnett is a light hairspray that still keeps your hair looking great all day long. The only thing that isn't so great, is the smell!

Marc Jacobs Daisy- Yes, I know there is a new version of Daisy called Daisy Eau so Fresh, which is a light spring scent, but I love the original Daisy scent so much that I just couldn't be bothered to try the new one.

Bed Head Dumb Blonde Shampoo- Finally, a purple shampoo. All blondes know that to keep your hair from going brassy it's best to use a purple shampoo, if only they weren't so hard to find!

'If you have to cry go outside' by Kelly Cutrone- For anyone who aspires to make it in the fashion industry, this book should be your bible! It's incredible how smart Kelly Cutrone is, and she certainly is one powerful bitch!
