We're back with another edition of the Designer Database. View the Fall / Winter '14 collections from a carefully curated list of some of our favourite Canadian designers. Pictured above are Sophia and Norwegian Wood. Let us know if you have a favourite Canadian designer you'd like to see featured next season!

It's been so quiet around here...but for good reason. Long time readers will know that Paper-Doll used to be a great little online boutique. When I closed up shop, I launched a new business (Fashioncan) that helps independent designers set up and manage online boutiques of their own. The more the new operation grew, the less time I had to update this blog. Despite the silence, I'm still very much invested in the Canadian fashion scene - and if you're reading this you might be as well! If you'd like to keep in the loop with some of the brands once stocked in the Paper-Doll boutique, or find out about exciting new Canadian labels, follow fashioncanonline on Instagram. We'll be posting sale notices and sneak previews of upcoming seasons.

What's in store for Paper-Doll? Hopefully a slow resurrection of this blog and an updated Designer Database. If you have ideas of what you'd like to see, contact us!

Never one to be drawn to delicate jewelry, A Peace Treaty consistently appeals to me.

Bags don't come easily to me. I have been on a never ending quest to find the perfect bag, and in that quest I refuse to settle for less, which actually means settling for the absolute minimum - a printed canvas tote. Today I found a bag that makes me happy, and it shouldn't surprise me that it's actually just a grown up version of the canvas tote - a leather tote with copper accented straps by Scout and Catalogue. Sometimes simple really is best.

An unlikely clothing choice to be pining over at the very start of summer (during a heat wave, no less) - but these warrant it. How beautiful are BZR's Ombre tights?

I was recently introduced to a new Canadian based designer - Oyuna. The silhouette of this outfit is perfection.
