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.

July 11, 2012 -- Kim Andrews, owner designer of Kids on Top, decided to do this project as the culmination of an ambitious summer of activity that included the re launching of a newly designed website (www.kidsontop.com) and the design and introduction of an adjustable scarf headband accessory to her product line.

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.

I have a weakness for HATS (among other things). I simply adore them. It is not surprising to find me styling and profiling several days out of the week with my hat choice of the day.

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? Ghosts, goblins & scarecrows have taken over our stores & it's only August! I remember the good 'ol days when August meant summer vacations, back to school sales and making plans for Labor Day Weekend. The hype for Halloween started so early last year that by the time it actually arrived, I thought
