I wanted to create a dramatic black and white look with a pop of colour. The pop of orange was inspired by the gorgeous orange leaves scattered around the city.  The geometric design on this sheath dress is fun with the angled lines of concrete and iron railings throughout the park.  A great way to add pattern and/or colour to your wardrobe is with geometric prints. Geometrics create a timeless, contemporary look. Larger scale and small scale geometric patterns are available from several brands this se...

Pink Tartan - Holiday & Resort 14 - Nordstrom

Image
We had a great evening at Nordstrom for the presentation of the beautiful Pink Tartan Holiday and Resort 14 collection. The pieces were presented by President and Creative director, Kimberley Newport-Mimran. With a background in Fashion Merchandising and Marketing, she worked with Club Monaco and Hudson's Bay before founding the Canadian label, Pink Tartan in 2002.  You may also be familiar with her husband - Canadian Designer Joe Mimran who launched both Club Monaco and Joe Fresh. Newport-Mimran stayed true to the brands sophisticated sportswear feel with this collection. Each piece is constructed of gorgeous luxe fabrics with a timeless silhouette. The pieces can all be mixed and matched to create an unique/individual look. My favourite pieces of this collection include the hand painted black and white silk dress, cream winter coat, and of course the fur collars. The stunning black and white A-Lined dress creates a bold statement. The hand painted fabric forms a modern look w...

I put together this casual look mixing shades and textures of grey from head to toe. Blanket scarves are huge for f/w as they are very versatile and add warmth. This reversible grey and black blanket scarf caught my eye while shopping in England. The thick, tightly woven wool is perfect for the cool, rainy fall weather in England, and soon to be Calgary winter. The Aztec pattern adds a boldness to any fall look.   Blanket scarves take up a lot...
