Designer Spotlight: Bodybag by Jude

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.

Designer Spotlight: Portobello

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?

Speech is a refreshing new jewelry label to emerge out of Toronto, fronted by 22 year old designer Michael Mercanti.

Her collection, made exclusively from eco-friendly fabrics like organic cotton, soy and bamboo, is fashion forward, contemporary and effortlessly chic.

In Love With: KaPow Wow Objects

I'm not a big accessories person - I like to keep things clean and simple. But, I love scarves. I miss them terribly during the summer. It only makes sense then that one of my favourite designers lately is KaPow Wow. Not only do they make some of the most amazing scarves, each one is created from reclaimed textiles.

Designer Spotlight: 80%20

For many years, the Paper-Doll boutique sold strictly clothing. Then, one day we came across Ce Ce Chin's new label 80%20, and we were forced to break the clothes-only rule. Some of you avid Paper-Doll fans may remember the "I heart NYC", heart and rainbow printed slip-ons.
