hats (94)

Growing up in a tiny village in Ireland, designer Phillip Treacy explains, “As a small child, I loved to watch the weddings there. They were the equivalent of fashion shows to me. The dresses that people wore, I couldn’t believe them, they were incredible. It seemed so glamorous to see these creatures appear in these extraordinary clothes, as we didn’t have much glamour where I come from.” When he was around five, he began sewing and making hats for his sister’s dolls.

EDMONTON — Tribal prints, loose, flowing shapes, natural fabrics and other fashion influences from the 1970s are being reinterpreted for today in a modern take on boho chic.

Designers like Michel Kors and Hugo Boss are using patterns — some Navajo-like, some more African-inspired — in dresses and tops, says Tracy Bradley, manager of Blu’s Womenswear downtown. She points to a Kors maxi dress featuring colourful beading and a simple Boss skirt with a gold, black and green tribal print.

Secrets of the Baseball Cap

I've never considered myself a baseball cap kind of gal. Baseball caps were for the bratty little kids down the street and dads of the bratty little kids down the street. Never a fan that is, until one fateful day two years ago when I happened upon (drum roll please) a baseball cap - with bling! OMG. I had to have this cap. You see, I was into bling before I could crawl. If it shined and sparkled, I wanted it.


So - I pulled out the 'ol credit card and bought this sparkly black cap loaded with seq

So here I am minding my own business & enjoying the last few remnants of summer when out of the blue I'm accosted by a ghost! That's right...a ghost. You know...the kind that goes 'boo' in the night?

The hype for Halloween started so early last year that by the time it actually arrived, I thought

I think that vintage is the way forward, by moving backward, and here is why.
By recycling our clothing..
1. We are being kind to the environment.. instead of being such a disposable society
we can give new life to what has already been manufactured.
2. Jumbling up looks from different periods of the past, to create different silhouettes
and looks for the present.
3. Finding things that are original, vintage stores are full of one- off pieces.
4. Being more creative.. there is something so fresh abo

Keeping warm without waddling down the street looking like the Michelin man can be a challenge.
