Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Erdem Spring/Summer 2014 No more flowers? Less heavy on the flowers, definitely. Thematically, Erdem seems to be telling us that next spring, black and white will still be a thing. Great. But I don’t know if I can get behind those shoes. You know who’ll end up taking credit for them? By Lainey • Sep 17, 2013 10:28 am
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Marios Schwab Spring/Summer 2014 Boring compared to the others we've seen. I don't remember ever loving one of his pieces. Also don't understand the backpacks. By Lainey • Sep 17, 2013 12:17 am
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Antonio Berardi Spring/Summer 2014 London is really bringing it this season. I'm not normally big on Antonio Berardi but this collection works. I think it might be the sleeves on some of those blouses. Those big billowy sleeves anchored by those big prints. Gorgeous. By Lainey • Sep 16, 2013 04:44 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Answers: A Catholic-Muslim child and wedding Dear Sasha, My fiancé and I are in our 20s and we’ve been together for almost 3 years. We’re from different religious backgrounds. I’m a practicing Catholic and he’s a Muslim, but not very serious about it. His parents are very pious though. We’re both By Sasha • Sep 16, 2013 03:09 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Answers: I'm not ready to settle down Dear Sasha, I need a real unbiased opinion. My boyfriend and I met when we were 20 and have been in love and dating ever since that was 4 years ago. We moved to a new city together a year ago and things have been great! He is in university By Sasha • Sep 16, 2013 02:02 pm
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Matthew Williamson Spring/Summer 2014 I feel like Matthew Williamson is figuring out what he wants to be, who he wants to represent. Am I holding it against him, the fact that Mischa Barton was his muse? None of these pieces are memorable to me. And the entire line gives the impression that he' By Lainey • Sep 16, 2013 11:26 am
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Preen Spring/Summer 2014 Preen is hard to find in Canada. They carry Preen at Basquiat in Vancouver and that’s where I bought it whenever I could but now that I live in Toronto, I don’t know where to get my Preen fix. And it looks like I’m going to need By Lainey • Sep 16, 2013 10:44 am
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Temperley London Spring/Summer 2014 Temperley isn’t my kind of style. But this is a strong showing from the label, and a significant improvement over the last few seasons. In particular, I like the power-clashing. That leopard print top with the floral skirt is great. By Lainey • Sep 16, 2013 10:01 am
Lifestyle London Fashion Week: Mary Katrantzou Spring/Summer 2014 Mary Katrantzou’s collections keep getting stronger and stronger. You know what I like most about these shapes? Nothing looks super tight. As for the prints – it’s a little tacky, the “fake” buckles and straps, but I think I’m into it the way she’s presented it, precisely By Lainey • Sep 16, 2013 08:37 am
Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Proenza Schouler Spring 2014 By far my favourite collection of NY Fashion Week. Perhaps my favourite Proenza Schouler collection of all time. Feels so fresh and inspired, especially the stripped skirts. Check the one with what looks like half-tinsel coming down but only on one side. And I love the criss-cross crop tops that By Lainey • Sep 16, 2013 08:22 am
Lifestyle Sasha’s INTO IT: Tweezerman Pink Perfection 15X Lighted Magnifying Mirror WHAT: TWEEZERMAN PINK PERFECTION 15X LIGHTED MAGNIFYING MIRROR WHERE: CLICK HERE WHY: There’s nothing more cathartic for me than sitting in my pj's, with a hand mirror and going to town on every last stray eyebrow hair. It's “me time” and I savour it pluck By Sasha • Sep 13, 2013 03:26 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Finds: Reese’s cardigan I love Reese’s cardigan, I have to have it. Please Sasha! Y --- Your desperation is palpable so Y, I won’t keep you suffering any longer – it’s J Crew and you can buy it here (1). With that out of the way J, I thought I’d By Sasha • Sep 13, 2013 12:10 pm
Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs Spring 2014 These prints are beautiful, the dresses exquisite. Not conventionally “spring” colours, but that’s ok, if fashion is now four seasons. I particularly love the oversized sweatshirt that looks like a partial rip-off of the Coca-Cola logo. Hoping to see a lot of this on carpets. By Lainey • Sep 13, 2013 11:35 am
Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Rodarte Spring 2014 This collection is more Vanessa Hudgens than it is Kirsten Dunst, and it’s certainly not the best of Rodarte but what saves it is the tailoring of the jackets. And that awesome leopard print tuxedo vest. Apart from them, utterly forgettable. By Lainey • Sep 13, 2013 11:22 am
Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Calvin Klein Spring 2014 Nothing really excites me about this collection. There’s no defining look to it either. If you didn’t know it was Calvin Klein, would you have been able to definitively say it was Calvin Klein? What’s most offensive to me – the shoes. Such heinous shoes. Does this portend By Lainey • Sep 13, 2013 10:02 am
Lifestyle NY Fashion Week: Marchesa Spring 2014 You know, by Marchesa standards, this collection isn’t actually the worst we’ve ever seen. So…it’s like sh-t vs diarrhoea, this being sh-t and not not diarrhoea. Marchesa is something I like to lord over Sasha. Because Sasha used to like Marchesa. (And you too Lara!)
