Joe Fresh Spring '13

Johanna (aka rlr mini) and I hit up the Joe Fresh Spring '13 Show

Here's my hot-mess pretzel look (read: I sprinted to the shows after my train arrived late), as papped by FLARE Magazine (left) and after - hair down, heels on, basking in the post-show glow (right).  

As tweeted by rlr mini, "Can you spot the @realliferunway in her natural habitat?"

The Joe Fresh finale.  See Jeanne Beker in the front row?

I could go on and on...Really I could.  But it's Friday at 4:00.  It's been a very long week, and it's Pizza/Movie Night at our house.  Yay! A picture (or 60ish in this case) says a thousand words and so I'll leave you with photos from Wednesday's Joe Fresh Spring 2013 show - always my favourite at World Mastercard Fashion Week.  For Spring, it was a mash-up of '60s mod, with graphic black & white prints, pops of bright yellow, soft blue and metallics, with a cameo by '60s model, Pat Cleveland.  So cool, so fun, so very Joe. My favourite looks? The white Pierrot-collar blouse with the pleated yellow skirt, the croco suit (w matching handbag - yum!), the Hitchcock-esque grey bird print pants with the printed blouse, and pretty much all of the metallic looks at the end.  Thanks for the invite, Joe!  More fashion week pics (including my fateful front row seat at Lucian Matis) next week.  TGIF! xoxo

World MasterCard Toronto Fashion Week

In Toronto fashion circles, October means only one thing: Spring.  This season marks the city's first Fashion Week since its purchase by NY-based entertainment giant, IMG World, almost certain to put Toronto, and our ever-growing list of talented designers, in the global spotlight.  From Fashion Week veterans to runway debutantes, we've rounded up our top 10 picks of this week's must-see shows at David Pecaut Square in my article this week at iVillage.ca.  

And if you still want to catch the shows live, it's not too late.  Visit For tickets to World Mastercard Fashion Week (Oct 22 - 26), visit worldmastercardfashionweek.com.  See you at the tents! x
