The Do's and Don'ts of high fashion: A critique of some of the clothes.

CREATIVE CARRIE:

The outfit: possibly.

The necklace: definitely

The hair: definitely not. Frizzy curls were in during the 80's. Hence the flashback. Thank goodness Carrie's moved on.

The outfit: definitely. It's perfect for a hot stroll on the beach. The colour is delightful and the material looks elegant and airy. It flows magnificently in the wind.

The outfit as a whole: Definitely not. It looks like Carrie just came from a baseball game in Neverland. I love the skirt, but it would have looked better on Lily or Rose for that matter. And the top? Yes, it is Dior, but it seems much too like a pair of pjs to me. Just my opinion however...

The outfit: Maybe. I get an Asian vibe with this outfit, however the necklace throws in a little tribal into the mix. Carrie's pinned back hair also adds to the sophistication. It was a cute dress to wear out on the patio for dinner.

SEXY SAMANTHA

-classy powerhouse.

The outfit: Definitely yes. I find myself to be more of a 'Samantha', so I might be biased towards her outfits. However, you can never go wrong with a classic ivory dress and gorgeous snake skin purse. Perfect.


The outfit: Definitely yes. Once again, Samantha manages to pull off a sexy low cut sparkle dress that would be aimed at twenty-ers. She exudes elegance and sex appeal with everything she throws on. This evening dress fits into that category.

CLASSIC CHARLOTTE


The outfit: Definitely yes. Charlotte manages to be sexy, but in a classic covered way. She keeps a feminine look with every outfit she wears. This one portrays the word classy hidden within the material.


The outfit: Yes. It's very very very cute. I would recommend ANYONE to wear this adorable cupcake apron. Its absolutely wonderful, and a great way to style up your baking party.



The outfit: Yes. Charlotte never fails to surprise with her girlish touches. I love the swirls on her top, and it matches Lilly's headband.

MIX IT UP MIRANDA


The outfit: YESYESYESYES. I LOVED this dress. However, you could see the mesh around Miranda's chest area. Nonono. And it was extremely long. However, besides those two things, I adored this stud dress. Miranda's style confuses me. She doesn't really stick to ONE style. She mixes it up. She had some hits and some definite misses in the movie, however, over all she was as cute as ever.

THE GIRLS

typical thursday.

h&m print dress, costa blanca black and gold belt.

Ken Bell jeweled spider ring, gold chain belt as a necklace.

can't be tamed.

Here are a collection of photos I have gathered over the past couple of days along my journeys.

1. Waiting in the green room at the daytime talkshow screening.

2. The collection of magazines offered for reading, which I skimmed through

3. The camera equipment on set.

4. On set.

5. Judith Clapperton. Owner of 'The Village Linen Cupboard', where I sell some of my designs.

Dinner, after a long day in the sun.

6. & 7. A craving for sushi, at Mito Sushi.

8. Red and Green Dragon

9. A ride in the car to the film festival.

10. The outfit to the festival. Cannes? I wish.

I wore a black off the shoulder shirt, paired with a flower high waisted skirt (originally a tank top). I slathered on an extensive amount of silver bangles as well.

Backyard photoshoot:

I paired a chain belt and two charm bracelets together. I noticed that one had the eiffel tower as a charm, and needed to snap a pic upclose.

I came across this song today and was blown away by Miley's outfits. Shes clearly been taking advice from Adam Lambert. I love the look shes portraying, however I'm a little skeptical about how she is a bird/extinct animal...in a museum? Check it out though, its catchy. I did a little dance in the car when it came on the radio, and no, I'm not ashamed.

fashion editor.

The past two days have literally been a whirlwind of events. If you asked me what my daily activities were yesterday, you would probably receive a blank stare as your answer. However, the only thing that is certain in my mind is what I wore, thanks to the aid of photobooth :)

Yesterday I went to visit Bubbles and Gems, which is a high class jewelry shop in Port Hope and spoke to the owner about the details regarding the website I am designing for her. As well, I made a trip to my favourite jewelry store, Kenneth Bell, and spoke to the owner about working with him to promote his store and designs through social medias.
Busy busy.
Here's the outfit I wore during my networking spree:

I wore a white baby doll tank top dress and a daisy yellow sweater.

I belted the top with a thrifted gold linked belt and paired the outfit with leggings.

Today I took a trip into Toronto to attend a Fashion Design Speaker Seminar, where influential people spoke about finding your passion within the industry and certain paths you could possibly pursue. Amongst the speakers was a previous Elle Canada Magazine Editor and mentors of the new and sexy designers Carrie Hayes and NADA.

Here are some images from their new 2010 collections:

CARRIE HAYES

This collection is full of earthy tones, patterns and fabrics. It is the perfect collection to choose from for a fun and flirty yet established and professional look. Carrie Hayes has captured elegance with these down to earth dresses.

NADA

I thought it was such a coincidence when I heard the mentor of NADA speak about her collection today. To be honest, I came across her collection about a week ago and was going to post about her, but it seemed to have slipped my mind. This collection stands out from the rest, due to its interactive component. For their Spring 2010 collection, NADA actually produced a short film basing the script on a futuristic and realistic combat game, where the players choose different outfits to fight in. For all you mortal combat freaks out there, its KIND of like that, except high fashion and sexy models have been thrown into the mix.
To check out NADA's revolutionizing video, which will probably thrust fashion into the 3D world, CLICK HERE.
PS. If any of you thought the EXACT SAME THING that I did, mistaking the model for Leighton Meester, you are not alone. She is an EXACT look a like in my opinion.

Now for the outfit I wore to this high end fashion conference:

I pulled my hair up into a bun, ballerina style, which I NEVER do, however today it seemed to fit well with the outfit.

I wore a black string headband, a jaguar print shirt dress and paired it with leggings.

I wore gold chained bracelets as well as a gold seashell ring from Kenneth Bell.

I wore these leggings twice in a row due to the fact that I am obsessed with the gold studding around the cuffs.

All in all its been a busy two days, and it will surely be busy well into the long weekend. Tomorrow I am going to a videoshoot for a shopping chanel; one of the stores which currently sells some of my designs is being featured and I get to watch the filming! wooo!
And on Friday I am finally getting my winter tires off.... I am ashamed to say that publicly, but I guess if you've seen me driving around you've already noticed. Its well into May... I don't think its going to be snowing anytime soon Jen....
