Melissa from Harper Collins send me the proof to the new book Amazon.ca: Sephora: The Ultimate Guide to Makeup, Skin, and Hair from the Beauty Authority. It was very exciting because the book wasn’t in print at the time, so I felt extra special to be getting a pre-launch look. The actual hardcover version is like a coffee table book. Sephora is one of those stores that can suck you in. I’m not a big user of makeup but I find myself getting excited looking at all the colours and packaging. I don’t even look at the skincare section; I’m a Demalogica girl. This book reads like a catalogue. I’m not sure what I was expecting, maybe something more subtle. The book is similar to what net-a-porter is doing; incorporating content that helps to sell the product. I liked the Faking it chatper where it talked about faking long legs and high cheekbones. The try this at home section was interesting too with instructions on how to wear red lipstick, shape your eyebrows, wearing false …
I stopped by Town Shoes on Saturday to say hi to Philip Sparks, who was making a personal appearance along with David Dixon. They were both hawking their current shoe lines both of which are available now at Town Shoes.
My God I cannot wait for this issue. Vogue Italia continues to rack up the word count concerning their all black issue. We hear this is not sitting well with a certain american publication who had something similar in the works. Fashionista claims Iman has scored the coveted Vogue Italia cover. With her profile on the rise with the Canadian Project Runway, this is nice promotion for the Iman brand. Iman will be surrounded by some other models. SO MODERN THE CUT meanwhile chatted with Chanel Iman about shooting the all-black issue of Italian Vogue with Iman, Veronica Webb and her pal Jourdan Dunn. “I’d be surprised [if I am],” she said. “If I did that would be amazing, but if I don’t, I’ll get it the next time.” In other news, fashionologie is calling the all black issue : vogue noir. we love that fashionologie is keeping a running list of who is supposedly involved: * Alek Wek [rumored] * Arlenis Peña [rumored] * Chanel Iman [confirmed] * Iman [confirmed] * Jourdan Dunn [confirmed] …

I love the ROM and I’m so lucky to be on the receiving end of their hospitality. The Patricia Harris Gallery of Textiles & Costume presents highlights from the ROM’s renowned collection of over 50,000 textile and costume artifacts, in a display of approximately 200 pieces dating from the 1st millennium BC to the 21st century AD. Outstanding examples include Chinese imperial costume, late Antique and early Islamic textiles from Egypt, western fashion from the Baroque period to the present day and early Canadian coverlets. These illustrate the extensive transformations in the design and technology of textiles and clothing throughout the past three millennia. Due to conservation considerations, the artifacts are to be changed on a regular basis. The Patricia Harris Gallery of Textiles & Costume is located on the 4th floor of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal and it is the final gallery to be added to the space. The gallery will feature highlights from their massive collection of over 50,000 artifacts. The current exhibit features 200 artifacts dating from 200 BC. Patricia was a …
The best day in Vegas was Friday by far. The weather was to die for and we walked to the strip so I could see what this whole Vegas thing is about. Outside of the strip, Vegas is like a giant strip mall with cacti and palm trees. All the roads are 6 or 8 lanes across. The people drive like maniacs. Men in cars honk at you constantly when you walk down the street, it was very strange. Not if you are with a guy though. I had 5 people actually whistle at me out of their cars and on the street. The ridiculous size of Las Vegas struck me as we walked past the Convention Centre. It’s was massive. We then took the monorail to the Mandalay Bay/Luxor side of the strip. I kept on singing the Monorail song from The Simpsons. We decided to hit up Luxor for some free drinks. The drinks were cheap and not really free. You had to be gambling, so Marija and I sat ourselves down at …
Stella McCartney Beaded strappy sandals Perfect for summer and much more manageable than these ones. I’ve seen them in person at Holt’s in a different colour combo. I don’t know how you are suppose to deal with the heel, they are built like fetish shoes. I tried them on, way to damn high.
She was super cute with serious stage presence, too bad you can’t tell from my pictures.
