About the BOY

The BOY Project launches today and I'm super excited to share our latest venture with you. It's a brief two month foray into the plaid, camo and business-suited (but hopefully never together) world of guy's fashion, with the tips, threads and rules-of-thumb guys need to know. 

I hope you'll submit lots of questions, as this site is all about helping your guy achieve enviable style. Simply submit a query on his behalf - whether it's what to wear to a wedding, which accessories to pair with his suit, or a 'Help, my husband only ever wears plaid'. Better yet, get your guy on the site stat so he can control his own fashion destiny.

Hope you love - can't wait to hear what you think! Simply click on The BOY Project tab above or click here to check it out!

VAWK for eBay by Sunny Fong Launches Today

 

The collab we've been coveting for Fall has finally arrived! In case you missed it, eBay Canada has partnered up with renowned Canadian fashion designer Sunny Fong of VAWK to create an exclusive collective dubbed VAWK for eBay by Sunny Fong. The limited-edition capsule featuring perfectly edgy black clothing and accessories launches today, all for under $120, with free shipping across Canada.

“We are so excited to bring the quality and luxury of VAWK’s designs to eBay buyers, particularly at such affordable prices,” says Andrea Stairs, country manager, eBay Canada. “The collection’s seven pieces are truly versatile: worn individually they provide an instant update to any fall outfit, while combined they create a complete fashion-forward look.”

“I wanted to create an exclusive collection for eBay of great essentials that can transform a look from day to night, and can give someone a fashion moment,” says Sunny Fong, VAWK. “The pieces stay true to the VAWK aesthetic - each is inspired by our past collections that can be seen in our runway shows.”

The collection is exclusive to eBay and can be found at ebay.ca/vawkforebay.  The sale runs from today until to September 15, 2013, or while supplies last.  Since the tie already sold out within hours, we don't expect the collection to stay put for more than a few days.  Go, get on it! I already bought the capelet.

Fashion Dare: Zara's Pearl & Chain Necklace

Combination Pearl and Chain Necklace, $39.90, Zara

Oh, Alber Elbaz. I adored your Fall '13 necklaces for Lanvin - so playful, so kitschy, so fun. But I bet you're totally hating on this Zara knock-off right now. They one-upped you with the stars and of-the-moment pearls, and instead of 'Love' and 'Happy', left a much more coy 'Maybe'. As for me, I'm not so undecided - this rockstar necklace is a definite Y-E-S in my books.

I realize it'll be out of style in a season or two but here's one massively important silver lining to consider: someday, many years from now, your daughter/niece/neighbour's kid will have the best costume EVER. Consider it part of your legacy...

When faced with a tough opponent like a hot summer day, even the top fashionistas can wither under the pressure. Shorts, crop tops and flip-flops are fine if you're 20 but boardroom meetings and chic dinner dates call for a more winning combination. With the Rogers Cup in full swing this week, I'm thinking all about crisp, bright tennis whites. After all, if Maria Sharapova and Co. consistently beat the heat in white, I think we should all take some fashion lessons from the pros, don't you?
