I want to like vintage shopping. I really do. But I don’t deal well with having to spend hours and hours browsing for a hidden gem. I don’t have the patience. I like well edited stores. So you can imagine my excitement when I found Nasty Gal Vintage on Ebay. Well, multiply that excitement by 100 and that’s how I felt when Nasty Gal opened up their own online store, Shop Nasty Gal . This sassy boutique has a well stocked selection of vintage clothing, accessories and shoes, with absolutely no filler. If vintage isn’t your thing – Nasty Gal is slowly introducing a “new” section with up and coming young designers. And if spending money isn’t your thing, at least visit the site to browse through all the perfectly styled photos – sure to be fashion inspiration for many designers to come.... click here to read more 0 comments | Posted by leigh on Aug 06 2008, 12:20pm Artist Spotlight: Jody Rogac
Vancouver based photographer Jody Rogac’s shooting style is the antithesis of what is popular in urban fashion photography these days. Her work is clean, airy and soft. No harsh flash, obnoxious posing, gritty surroundings and clothes that are “so bad they’re good”. Shooting mostly with natural light and very often outdoors, her work has an air of serenity around it that is so refreshing.... click here to read more 0 comments | Posted by leigh on Aug 04 2008, 2:19pm Designer Spotlight: Ndeur
Customizing women’s shoes…Remarkably, Parisian artist Matthieu Missiaen stumbled upon the idea by chance when he first moved to Toronto to brush up on his English skills. Hired to paint the outside of an indie boutique, the owner asked Missiaen to revamp a few pairs of women’s heels on the side. When those few pairs of heels sold in record time, Missiaen knew he was onto something…and Ndeur was born.... click here to read more 5 comments | Posted by leigh on Aug 01 2008, 12:05pm Suggested Shopping: Annual Dace + Friends Sale

It's no secret that House of Spy is one of my favourite Canadian designers. I love that their clothes are so easy to wear - dressed down for a backyard bbq, or dressed up for a night out dancing with friends - you always end up looking good and feeling pretty.... click here to read more 0 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 25 2008, 6:12am In Love With: Tie Dye
I've patiently been waiting for tie dye to creep back into fashion. Not that I've ever particularly loved wearing it, but tie-dying clothes was always a favourite childhood activity of mine. Thank goodness, the tie dye showing up this season has been kept a bit more subdued and toned down compared to how it has been used in the past.... click here to read more 3 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 24 2008, 2:29pm Designer Collaborations
The news of the Karl Lagerfeld and H&M collaboration in 2004 – one of the first major high/low fashion partnership – was met with a frenzied sense of excitement. These days, the high/low collabs seem to come and go with little fanfare. Has the concept lost its novelty or are we tired of being underwhelmed by the final product? While there was chaos around the Kate Moss for TopShop collection, little has been said about many other recent team ups, like Alexander Wang for UNIQLO, Philip Lim for Gap, Tara Subkoff of Imitation of Christ for Bebe, Richard Chai for Target…... click here to read more 3 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 21 2008, 1:53pm | Featured Photographer
