Reading The Globe Style Advisor

Photo Source: Canada.com

The swag bag from Spark Sessions was jam-packed with goodies to test. The Canadian bloggers who attended are still digging through it and sharing our experiences as we discover products we love. The reusable canvas tote bag was provided by The Globe and Mail and included the latest issue of Globe Style Advisor.

It’s been months since I read an issue of Globe Style Advisor. After listening to editor Andrew Sardone’s keynote, during which he discussed the evolution of street style and his vision for the publication’s future, I was psyched to sit down and read the Holiday 2014 issue. I spotted Andrew’s byline on a few pages, where he writes about hotels, drinks and books. Naturally, I am most inclined to read the coffee table book he suggests for the wordsmith: Understanding The World: The Atlas of Infographics by Sandra Rendgen and Julius Wiedemann.

Memory Monday: Fashion Week

Fashion is a spectator sport and it’s my favourite kind. Between the release of Refinery29’s Style Stalking book and World MasterCard Fashion Week, October was filled with fashion-forward inspiration. October marked my first fashion week experience and it was a privilege to be part of the action.

Until this fall, my fashion show experience was limited to student-run charity fundraisers like OHM at Western. Volunteers invest a lot of time to ensure these shows look professional, so I was curious to see how internationally known artists showcase their collections.

Dress For Success With Lisa Tant

It’s always important to dress for the job you want. Yet no matter how many magazine spreads are dedicated to work-appropriate attire, women repeatedly seek more advice about what to wear.

Women of Influence sought to answer our questions on Tuesday evening by hosting Lisa Tant at One King West. Throughout her speech, Lisa emphasized the importance of being present and shared three main pieces of advice: find your passion, be social and be honest.

Find your passion

Lisa discovered her entrepreneurial drive as a teenager when she realized she could make beautiful things that people want to buy, such as embroidery. The “Type A creative crazy person” was eager to tag along on buying trips to LA and San Francisco during high school. Her parents demanded that she maintain good grades while pursuing a career in fashion and Lisa refused to let them down.

Concert Review: Robyn and Royksopp

My friends who’ve been nudging me to develop a greater appreciation for house music might be surprised to know how much I enjoyed Royksopp’s opening set. The abrupt ending to their act made me realize I should re-think my attitude towards the genre. Apparently electronic artists deserve a second chance in my music library after all.

Red, White and Blue

If you’re American, Happy 4th of July!

If you’re Canadian, then Happy Belated Canada Day! Hit “Like” if you had a relaxing long weekend! Just kidding.

As the girl in the red jeans, a holiday that encourages you to wear red jeans is my kind of holiday. One of the reasons that I like Canada Day more than Valentine’s Day or Christmas is that it’s more inclusive. Year after year, Canadians can all celebrate Canada’s birthday together, with the same amount of enthusiasm, regardless of our relationship status or religion.

My iPhoto collection includes many shots of me wearing red, white and blue. The complementary colours are fun, bold and clean. I’ve worn red, white and blue in Las Vegas, New York, Orlando and Washington, D.C. and I’m confident this pattern will continue on future vacations.
