Last night was awesome! We put a lot of effort into making sure the vibe was right, so we were happy to see so many people flood in for it! It was lined up out the door right at 7 when we kicked off! The Gaff was spinning 45's from the 60s and 70s, the sushi was delicious, and the cupcakes were a huge hit! It was great to see how passionate people can be for a brand that does good things. Inder was extremely happy to hear from some of the real Matt & Nat enthusiasts who have been... [Keep Reading]

 If you're a girl and have thus far shied from the peplum trend, now is your moment to shine. And, since lately we're seeing this cut in metallic fabrics or with sequins affixed festively, shining will be a cinch! Get it? Cinch? Oh wait, that will make more sense when you know the shape of this thing.  The above Alexander McQueen pic is a bit of a Case of the Disappearing Nipples, no? Anyway. Real quick-like for those of you new to the word, peplum is that little skirting... [Keep Reading]

I do so love Hallowe'en. Enough to honour the word with its traditional apostrophe, it seems. But what about when good Hallowe'en ideas go bad? It can happen. Trust. So perhaps we'd best go over a few things together to make sure we're all making the best decisions we can make for our annual costuming. And that brings us to DOs and DON'Ts: Hallowe'en edition! DO get crafty! Pinterest is a great resourse for Hallowe'en DIYs. DON'T false advertise. Fool... [Keep Reading]

Yves Saint Laurent was founded in 1961 by the man himself and his partner Pierre Berge. Over the years the brand has become synonymous with classic, ready to wear men’s designs and even more so with introducing the idea of women in menswear (Le Smoking jacket was a first of its kind tuxedo suit for women designed by Laurent in 1966).So it might have come as a bit of a surprise this past winter when the fashion house dropped creative director Stefano Pilati, known for his understated and...

The leaves are nearly gone and their empty branches cast shadows like skeletons reaching for your very life, and so it seems nature is ready for Hallowe'en. Are you? I haven't exactly decided what I'm going to be but it will probably involve a lot of make-up because it can transform you in a way that plain costuming can not. Saskatoon's Tamsen Rae is an incredibly gifted make-up artist who can turn beast to beauty (I should know because she's worked her magic on my little... [Keep Reading]

If you're anywhere similar to me, you have a love and appreciation for DIY. Not only can it save a heavy load on cash, but there is also a sense of accomplishment when someone asks you where you got an article that you are wearing, and you can proudly proclaim that you made it. Ahh yes, that feeling - pride is it? It feels pretty good. However, if you are also similar to me, you don't want to have to spend 5 hours working on the same project that you wanted to wear yesterday. All of the... [Keep Reading]

Over the course of the last year I have noticed an extraordinary amount of guys carrying leather (or canvas) pouches. At first I didn’t know how I felt about this new mens accessory. It came across a bit like a dude trying to carry a purse. That being said, in the back of my mind I have always thought that when pulled off right they looked kind of cool and over time the idea has really grown on me. Aside from the fact that pouches can look great, one of the main reasons they captured my... [Keep Reading]
