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!

IMATS Koren from EnKore makeup and Kandee Johnson!

On the weekend I went to IMATS! I was filming for school but still managed to buy a travel brush set, makeup forever's brush cleanser, and NYX jumbo eye pencil in Cottage Cheese! I also got the chance to do a quick interview with Koren from EnKore Makeup, I love his YouTube videos, so it was a lot of fun talking to him about YouTube, Makeup, and advice for future makeup artists! We also met Kandee Johnson when we were on our way out, I'll attach a picture. Her mom joined us for the photo because we recognized her from some of Kandee's makeup tutorial videos, haha! I also talked to Tom Savini, he was the makeup artist from Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th, I wish I could do special effects makeup! Heres a photo and my video coverage from the event:

Beauty: Lip & Cheek Stains

The perfect beauty product for fall is a lip stain, usually in the form of a marker, lip stains give you a matte finish with adding natural flush to your lips. Some brands also come in mini bottles that can be used universally for both your lips and cheeks, such as Benefit Cosmetics Benetint, you can even add a little gloss for some extra shine and moisture. Here are a few products that will be a great addition to your makeup bag throughout the fall months leading into winter:


Benetint, $28, sephora.com



Stila Lip & Cheek stain, $24, sephora.com

and some drugstore options..

Revlon's 'Just Bitten', approx. $9 where Revlon products are sold.




Cover Girl's Outlast, approx $8 where Cover Girl products are sold.



no more eating beets for the perfect lip stain!

This whole show was to die for.






And my favourite from the show...



Canadian born, but New York based bridal and gown designer Romona Kaveza, presented a collection that made every girl in the audience plan their future weddings while the models walked graciously down the runway in flowing couture gowns.

Keveza told the Toronto Sun "my spring 2011 collection features a return to my early days of designing evening wear and is inspired by an aristocratic soiree of the sixties and is an ode to Audrey Hepburn and New York high society."

The ode to Audrey Hepburn was first present when the show started off with clips of Breakfast at Tiffanys, which started off the mood for the collection. Immediately after, black lace gowns and long flowing chiffon birdal gowns came down the runway with models sporting Holly Golightly inspired updos.

Being a big Breakfast at Tiffanys fan and loving the theme of romantic and sophisticated gowns, this show was definitely my favourite.



And...although I love the dresses in the spring 2011 runway show, I can definitely picture my self wearing this lovely black dress if I ever say 'I DO'.

Thomas Clothing Review- Spring 2011 Toronto LG Fashion Week








I'm so behind with reviews from fashion week, but I'm going to get to as many as I can within the next few days, probably closing with my favourite, Romona Keveza, her collection was unbelievable! Lets begin with Thomas Clothing.

Recent OCAD grads Drew and Michael Thomas are the masterminds after a well thought out show concept with clothing appealing to the androgynous dressers. The show played eerie sound effects as the models walked down the runway appearing like they just came out of an old zombie film.

Despite the bizzare (but different then all the rest) presentation, the clothes are extremely wearable. Slim pants which were slit at the knee and showed a little skin, oversized sheer button ups both as dresses and shirts, and oversized zipped jackets. The colour scheme was entirely black and white, making all of the pieces versatile and classic, a signature for the up and coming designers.

The designers gave the torontosun.com some insight on where they see the collection headed “We spent our summer completing this collection and collaborating with many talented photographers, videographers, artists and stylists but after showing in Toronto and New York, we plan to move THOMAS// to Berlin, in 2011, hopefully to stay for a while. It’s difficult to feel unsettled as a creative, and being somewhere as dynamic as Berlin, will no doubt enhance our creativity,” says Thomas.

The makeup for the show was very natural with blackened eyebrows and slicked back hair.
