I want to wear things that make me happy. Torrid's NYFW looks don't disappoint and are finally hitting store shelves. I picked up some of my favourite pieces...

Our new fav look for the holiday party this year is a departure from simple, cloying A-line dresses.  It's boring.  Don't you want to be the coolest girl in the room?

We're loving separates that are a hybrid of different styles like tuxedo/men's wear and stree...

I know it doesn't feel like winter yet and as we write this blog, it's a hot and humid October Thanksgiving weekend in Toronto. People are literally wearing shorts right now, it's weird.  It's also good for those of us who forgot winter might actually happen. Stores ar...

These are not the bright, overly colourful ditzy prints of spring and summer. 
Winter florals: Embroidered, printed on translucent chiffon, hidden behind lace, or highlighted by devore on velvet, dark winter blooms are blossoming everywhere from the runway to street we...

We love roughed up, green army jackets, especially ones that look vintage, like something dug out of a thrift shop bin. They look comfy, but also have some tailoring that gives them shape.  You can style them many different ways, though we feel they go with jeans best....

Addition Elle (mostly) plays it safe and when they don't, it doesn't make much sense. We think they suffer from an identi...

Torrid knows what we like. We want clothes that have detail and that look vintage. We want our skinny friends to gasp and ask us "where" we got that jacket, or those ripped embroidered jeans, or those amazing boots. Torrid's focus has always been on "pieces" that...

I found a hideous old pair of brown/copper shoes in a closet. I think they came from the late 1990's?  I loved the shape and I remember how comfortable they once were.  I decided to get crafty.  

Recently I'd been on the lookout for a pair of fire engine...

If you took in Prabel's Autumn 2016 runway show, it's evident he loves women and mixes feminist politics with fashion. The models in the show wore T-shirts emblazoned with the bold phrases such as "Our minds, our bodies, our power."  The collection was inspired by the...
