On Dress-Up Parties

heather and I at the Rethink Romp Back at work today, around the proverbial water cooler (of course, we don’t have a water cooler; We have an espresso machine) my friend Heather told me about a party she had attended over the weekend. I responded, “Ohyeah me too.” But she wasn’t...

Beauty Spotlight: Ryan Turner Make’s over our Hair!

As beauty editor of GF I was slightly embarrassed turning up at the Osolé salon with my hair in the state that it was. Needless to say I was in dire need of a trim and intense hydrating treatment. In my desperate bid to grow my curly fro I had steered clear of any hairdressers cutting scissors but...

Sabrina Savoy: Proprietress of Pretty Bird Originals (and All-Around Nice Gal)

I met the lovely Sabrina Savoy during LG Fashion week. We were both stuck rushing through our drinks outside of the media lounge- trying to enjoy but also painfully aware of the looming deadlines that awaited us. Sabrina and I got to talking, and I learned that not only is she a fabulous photographer...

Alternative Fashion Week: RAGE

And outRAGEous it was! The third day screamed anger and darkness and the performances were nothing short of that. Strange poetic/dance routines opened the stage and made us feel somewhat confused at what the message was. But ne’r the less it was exciting to see something new. As the night went...

On Dressing like a French Woman

The very first blog I ever read, (embarrassingly enough, as recently as when I was in College,) was Cup of Jo. She’s still my very fave. Her posts, her photos, and her adorable idiosyncrasies check all the boxes that constitute a daily read for me. She was even so kind as to personally help me...

Oh J Crew, Where Art Thou?

I have never been so disappointed to not have J Crew in this country as I am this weekend. All of my favourite blogs- which happen to be American blogs- are making me writhe with jealousy as they disect and review the latest pieces from J Crew for Spring 2010. Even the catalogue’s front page image...

Fashion Week was indeed hectic, so after an intense week of work the GF ladies decided to spend the last night blowing off steam at the Evan Biddell after party at the Courthouse. Surely enough it was a raving night and who wouldn’t have enjoyed partying with one of Fashion Week’s hottest...

Review: L’oreal’s Miracle Primer

Upon walking into LGFW on the first day the first thing we saw were hair and beauty stations hosted by L’oreal–definitaly a hit with me. As my eyes scanned the room i noticed the little black, paper bags that were being handed out by L’oreal’s ladies soooo I shuffle towards them...

LG Fashion Week: Katrina Tuttle FW 2010

The Katrina Tuttle FW 2010 line was by far the most wearable we have seen at LGFW. Ready to wear pieces that would best suit the Nylon-reading set, were sophisticated but youthful. Tuttle favoured a mix of textiles in her outfits, including lace, velvet, organza and wool. We also saw a lot of stitching...

LG Fashion Week: Pink Tartan FW 2010

The uber-packed house and 50-minute-late delay during Pink Tartan’s show wasnt for naught, and as we found out, well worth the wait. It seems that the Toronto fashion community can’t get enough of Kimberly Newport-Mimran- and that includes Gfemme. The show started with a performance by an...

LG Fashion Week: David Dixon

David Dixon showed twice in a row this evening- first came his Barbie line, then came the champagne and Peroni.. wait what? Yes. The crowd-pleasing technique worked as FDCC staff and volunteers (such as JulieMac) set the stage for David Dixon’s FW 2010 line. It worked: The crowd was as happy...

LG Fashion Week: Lucian Matis FW 2010

Lucian Matis’ FW 2010 show was among the most highly anticipated this week. Although labels that carried the same level of excitement were offered a more coveted time slot during LGFW, Matis managed to impress us more than the others. It just goes to show that after all, the clothes will speak...

LG Fashion Week: Evan Biddell FW 2010

It was a packed house for tonight’s final show: Evan Biddell FW 2010. Before the runway was stalked by models, there was a short black and white film featuring a 20’s flapper-style outfitted Kiesha Chante among others. Although the line in no way resembled Flapper fashion, the film got us...
