Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basBefore models took to the runway in a mix of military tailoring and poofy skirts, they were given a beauty look to mix similar elements of hard and soft. With a sleek and shiny tight topknot and dark full eye the look was decidedly more hard than soft. We're loving this more controlled version of the topknot we usually...

When springtime hits we get to thinking about all the Chicks out there shopping for their special prom or grad gown. We think about the excitement of finding The One, and deciding on the shoes and hair to pair with—it's often the first time a girl gets to rock such a frock.

The old saying goes: March winds and April showers? Bring forth May flowers. So we're hoping that all the rain this month brings forth a lovely May filled with plenty of blooms (feel free to send us flowers next month).

It takes a certain attitude to rock a short haircut like these fierce females of the small and big screen. From Emma Watson's gamine Jean Seberg-like shape and length to Olivia Munn's bob, never have a few inches made such a big difference.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLast week at LG Fashion Week in Toronto we spotted plenty of rolled cuffs on boys, often with a statement sock (yes, we are going to call jazzy, attention grabbing socks worn by boys this) and a soft leather shoe.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basHere's the skinny on the super-thin belt: It is a woman's best friend when it comes to defining the waistline of a loose or layered look or creating a pop of colour in a more muted ensemble. Designers for spring used it in all manner of ways and while it definitely has the potential to be utilitarian through belt...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSheer fabrics took the form of buttoned blouses and ruffled dresses, adorned with peekaboo appliqués, satin paneling or as some designers envisioned, spare and revealing. Black prevailed, making the look decidedly more evening than office, though with its lack of coverage the colour isn't the only reason you'd be...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFlashing down the Fall runways at Toronto fashion week were skirts in all manner of fringe, feather, 3D flower appliqué, and metallic strips. The effect was magpie syndrome—we wanted to fly off right then with the shiny slivered skirts, or in the case of Pink Tartan's feathers take them home to our aviary to roost...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIf there's one investment we never regret, it's a winter coat. A coat that keeps out the chill with a vibrant hue (the neoprene orange overcoats at Joe Fresh made a huge impact on the crowds when they first appeared) or create a cocoon-like form that allows plenty of room for layering, like those designed by Jeremy...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basVelvet is a fabric as rich in texture as it is in history—iconic designers who were known to use the fabric to dramatic effect include Vionnet, Poiret, and Fortuny. That nostalgia is seen in the velvet used by designers for fall, in the rich colours and draping and gathering. In the looks of Jeremy Laing and Chloé comme...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis week on the Style Collective, we're getting DIY for home and head; we're looking at a cool design idea for making maximum space out of a small place and forming a book club of one on the couch; and when we head out to the store, we're going to be sure and bring a handy list of great, inexpensive beauty buys and look for a fuchsia lipcolour out of our comfort zone.
