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.

The temperature in Toronto is reaching almost unbearable highs. The best way a girl can combat this awful heat and humidity is to stock up on summer dresses.... click here to read more 3 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 14 2008, 3:15pm Artist Spotlight: Christine Navin
What first attracted me to Christine Navin's photographs was the honesty and rawness of her subjects. I was left intrigued, wishing to have been a fly on the wall for just a few more moments after the photo was snapped. Beautiful and slightly imperfect – Navin's photos evoke a nostalgic longing for those moody days of fading youth.... click here to read more 2 comments | Posted by leigh on Jul 10 2008, 4:40pm Page 1 | 2 | Featured Photographer
