Bright Lights, Big City

Don't forget:  Tomorrow I'll be on CityLine's Fall Fashion Special talking fall fashion on a budget (naturally) as well as sharing some of the season's must have luxe vs. less boots, bags, scarves & belts.  If you can't catch it live, see it on the CityLine website later.  Wish me luck and remember:  the camera adds 10 lbs and makes you sound 30% less witty

Layer Up, Buttercup

When temperatures drop, as they’re bound to do (sorry!), it’s time to layer up for a look that’s both practical and pretty. The good news? You can pile on the pieces (or peel them off) depending on the ever-shifting forecast.   Check out my 3 easy ways to load on the layers for fall at iVillage.ca this week, from the new way to suit up for work, to casual weekend layers, to the Rooney Mara way to wear your LBD after dark.

After a long, loungy summer, the first week of September can feel awfully busy.  Between packing lunches, dressing your little ones and getting to class before the bell, there’s never much time left for #1. So how then to look chic in a Back-to-School minute?  Check out my top 10 ways to look stellar in a flash at iVillage.ca this week, so you'll be drop-dead gorge for those early morning drop-offs.   Happy 1st day of school!  Anyone else ready for a big, fat vacay already?

RLR on Cityline

In case you missed it, I was on CityLine yesterday on behalf of iVillage.ca talking 'Cottage Chic' with ways to help you 'rough it' in style.  It was super fun...I just wish Tracy Moore wasn't so pretty! ;)

Oh, and I'll be on Breakfast Television bright and early next Thursday to show off back-to-school looks from Gap, so be sure to set your PVRs.  They say you should never work with kids or animals but so far so good.  I say that now...:)

The Taylor Tomasi Hill Effect

As former Style and Accessories Director at Marie Claire and current Artistic Director at Moda Operandi, Taylor Tomasi Hill has an eye for the extras. Add to that her fearless approach to fashion (she’s the current one-to-watch in the street style world) and her supermodel looks and we’re completely smitten.

So, how do you pull off Taylor’s aristo-chic look? Mix up unexpected colours and textures, always keep your hair well-groomed (fiery red hue optional) and of course, never forget the power of killer statement accessories.  For all the luxe-for-less pieces to help you nab the coveted TTH vibe, check out my story this week at iVillage.ca.  Love her!
