Great design…great prices…sounds like my kind of offering! It’s the usual UBER-SEXY Versace style, which will come in sooo handy for all the holiday parties!

Here’s my top 5 picks:

1. The Red Dress – Oh my…so sexy & classy & red! All of my favourite things in one!

2. The Gold Dress – Soooo sexy & fun! This dress makes me want to party!

3. The Yellow Dress – Stunning colour, and looks amazing with this blue scarf & fun purse.

4. The Versace LBD – Classic!

5. Light & Dark Blue Asian Inspired Dress – This is just fun! It’s cute, girly and could be worn a million different ways!

Recently I stumbled upon this gorgeous pic of Jennifer Aniston’s dress that I was crushing huge for!

It turns out the dress was originally a long and flowy metallic dress by KaufmanFranco, but the designers re-released a shorter and sexier version exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue.

LOVING IT!

P.S. Doesn’t this dress look so much better with tanned skin and lighter hair? The long version looks a tad severe, and the shorter version is SO much better!

Ugh, winter. That’s all there is left to say about how grey and long this winter has been.

But….the great news is that it’s almost over!!! And the even better news is that Pink Tartan has the most unbelievable Spring lineup, and we’re dying to pick it up at their new flagship location.

Nothing makes me happier than the thought of warm Spring days, light jackets, and open toed shoes.

Not to mention that I am over the moon that colour is IN this Spring. I love colour! Pinks, oranges, purples, blues….oh, bliss.

On my list of Pink Tartan favourites this Spring:
- super fun pink jumpsuit (above)
- romantic and strong yellow dress (below)
- bright short shorts (second below)

Aren’t they gorgeous? Now we just need to throw some fabulous parties so we can look as perfectly glam as these clothes deserve! (And some fabulous shoes and new jewels wouldn’t hurt either!)

I’m in a full blast fashion rut. I’m so tired of wearing heavy jackets, winter-proof boots, scarves, mittens, and thick sweaters. I’m just so tired of it!

I want to wear Spring dresses, open toed shoes, bright colours and fun patterns. Unfortunately the -10C temperature, snow flurries and wind storms don’t agree with what I want.

This happens every year. Around this time I’m just so done with winter – and based on my appearance you can totally tell. I have about 3 business outfits that I wear to meetings, always the same drab colours and requiring no creativity. And my outside of work clothes are all “cosy, without the sexy”. Blah!

Can’t wait for winter to end, and for the snow and salt to stop ruining all my clothes so I can actually wear more delicate things again!

Does this happen to you too?

Makeup is one of those tricky things – new colours and looks come out every year, but if you’re not careful you will stick to your regular routine and before you know it your look will be dated and ill fated.

So, to keep up to date we regularly peruse the magazines and makeup counters to see what’s new.

Recently the folks over at Clarins hosted a “Red Carpet” event where the head makeup artist Phillipe was doing makeup for all the lucky ladies that were interested.

We hopped on the chair and tested out their newest look – very dark eye makeup where the liner goes slightly inside the lids. It seems a bit heavy but it actually looked great, and it was so much fun to have a different look! Forget the standard eyeliner and mascara, now I want the lovely shadows and peach blush!

Here’s what we’re loving

Red
This fall red is everywhere – from bright red accessories, to gorgeous red jackets, to shocking red lipstick. Red is so versatile and can be fun and playful but also serious and sexy – wear just a dash or go overboard with lots of red this season!

Purple
Purple is also super hot this season and we love it! Purple is subtle and sexy and really complimentary for most skin colours. There’s also a huge range of purples out there to enjoy – so everyone can find their favourite shade.

Other colours that are in this season include camel (not so exciting), metallics (we’re kind of tired of this trend) and olive greens(nice, but also safe and not exciting).
