It's that time of year when we can return to shopping for ourselves - and stores make it all the more tempting with their crazy discounts. After dealing with the crowds for Christmas shopping, we're endorsing maintaining sanity by shopping from the comfort of your home. Here is a list of sales from some of our favourite Canadian designers:
In a quest to find a blue tartan dress for New Year's Eve, I was reminded of Montreal based label, BodyBag. In Paper-Doll's boutique days, Bodybag was always part of the roster, and their signature pieces favourites amongst our customers. Designer Judith Desjardins' Fall '08 collection is as perfect as ever, a beautifully feminine collection with hints of menswear influence. And, lucky for me - a great steel grey/blue tartan fabric is used across quite a few styles.
It seems that all the parties during the holiday season give us room to be a bit more decadent with our style. Half the fun of these events is dressing to the nines - and what better way to do that than with feather headpieces? Feathers are everywhere right now, but I haven't seen anyone use them quite as elegantly as designer Portobello.
