sites we love: stylecaster

StyleCaster is a fashion social network providing new content, style advice by your peers, recommendations and a daily update tailored and customized to your likes.

Every morning I wake up to an email with visuals like this:

Style Caster Daily Digest

They cover fashion around the world, trends, they have tv station called StyleCentre, recommend food and you can even shop on StyleCaster!

One of my favorite sections is the ‘Explore Looks’ section. It’s based on a bunch of factors like occasion, style, product type, color, body shape and climate. Once you’ve narrowed down what you’re looking for, it calculates your requests and gives you a bunch of outfit examples.

Style Caster - Explore Looks

It’s so great for creating new looks and thinking outside your comfort zone with mixing and matching clothes you may already have!

Check out www.stylecaster.com for more info

He did it again, obvi.  Christophe Decarnin is a living legend and I love him. He makes the prospect of next Fall -when we are barely through winter- almost exciting!

surgical masks as a fashion statement?

Picture 69

Lowe noticed a guy sporting a surgical mask with a mustache the other day while we were meeting at The Spot.  I didn’t get a chance to see it, so I did what I do whenever I find myself interested in something these days, I googled it.  To my amazement the mustache was only the beginning!  There are tons of different styles of surgical masks ranging from funny to straight up strange.

To be honest, people who wear surgical masks in North America really bug me.  I’m not sure why, but I find the whole serious germ -a-phobe thing a little much.  I’m all for washing your hands and being clean but if it ever comes to the point that I have to walk around with a surgical mask, I think I would rather just stay home…

That being said the mustache mask is really funny.

LOVE the creative on this shoot the only thing is I find it eerily similar to the Aldo campaign that I posted earlier. Except in the Aldo ad the red heart seems to be hard plastic and not a balloon and the leopard is porcelain and not stuffed…  Interesting….

style: Bloomers, baby bloomers!

With this gorgeous weather that mother nature has presented us with, I thought I’d do a post on our fav summer basic, SHORTS!

Shorts are really in style for the spring/summer season, all winter we’ve been covering up our precious legs with nylons, leggings, denim and the newest phenom, jeggings; but this summer the trend god has spoken and is telling us to bare it all (well, just our legs!)

Shorts can be the most effortless piece of your summer wardrobe and the most cost effective! You can buy a pair of denim cut offs and wear them to the beach, at the mall and to the club. Shorts give off a je-ne-sais-quoi about your outfit and style. You feel confident, sexy and maybe a bit more mischievous in your daisy dukes or for the more conservative gal, the bermudas.

Best of all, shorts rarely ever go out of style which equals money saved (which of course could always be spent on more clothes!). Whether your legs look like Beyonce’s or Kirstie Alley’s don’t be discouraged, anyone can wear shorts as long as they’re the right fit and style; but if you’ve ever needed a reason to hit the thigh master, here it is J

style: aldo’s doin the damn thang!

Picture 26

I had a major hate on for Aldo in my early 20’s.  Their pumps never fit me properly and oh how I wanted them to fit me so!  I had to all together stop shopping there because all I would do is lust over the pumps that couldn’t be mine.  Fallen completely off my radar I was shocked when I popped into the store today with my bestie Kiki (who has size 5 feet, ahem) for the first time in a very long time.  I was pretty shocked to find more than one shoe style that tickled my fancy!  I was even more shocked when I saw the price tags!  Most pairs that I picked up were around $100 which when I look at what I usually fork over for shoes seems pretty cheap.  I also found myself lusting over my friend Neb’s YSL looking platforms and she was kind enough to inform me that they too were from Aldo!

Although I was too rushed to actually try anything on, I think I will be heading back there soon. *crosses fingers and hopes that they fit*

Kiki snagged the killer MCKALE pictured below for her upcoming fashion show.

style: spring wants, wishes + desires

After the crazy snow-stormy couple of days we’ve had in Toronto, I have found my mind wandering to the hopefully nearing warmth of Spring.  With that warmth comes the shedding of winter layers and the freedom of a spring/summer wardrobe. MY FAVORITE! With the beautiful thoughts of Spring on my mind I thought it would be the perfect time for me to share with you some of my must have’s and  wish i could have’s for Spring/Summer 2010!

Something Sweet…. with socks:

or fringe

something metal or covered in chains:

maiso nmartin margiela

maison nmartin margiela

Something slouchy:

Picture 112

Margiela got dogged for this collection but I’m absolutely obsessed with the slouchy boot short skirt, shorts or legging look.   Having nothing to do with the fact that my ‘over-the-knee’ boots don’t stay over the knee, yet slouch down almost exactly like the ones seen above…. so I’m biased but whatevs, they’re cute!

Picture 113

p.s. check out their site: www.maisonmartinmargiela.com it’s so dope!

Something athletic disguised as something dressy:

One of my favorite purchases last year was a pair of super light dropped crotch joggers from Aritzia.  I’m not a big ‘wear jogging pants in public’ person so when I bought them my intention was to wear them with heels and a fitted blazer.  Since they are still all over the mags I think I might snag another pair. Comfortably chic!
