8 Rules Fashion Editors Live By
I don't remember where I found this list of rules, but I've had them stored in my phone just to share with YOU!
Rule #1: GO BIG
If you're wearing an eye-grabbing accessory (like an animal-print scarf), let it take center stage by pairing it with understated items.

Rule #2: THINK LIKE A STYLIST
Figure out what look- preppy, mod, grungy - is most you, and make it your signature.
Rule #3: FINISH IT OFF
The fastest, easiest way to pull nay ensemble together: Cinch a Belt Around Your Waist!
Rule #4: BLEND IN (JUST A LITTLE)
Rocking a print? Be sure the rest of your clothing picks up one of the colours in the pattern.
Rule #5: GET TOUGH
Pairing something edgy (a leather jacket) with something feminine (a floral top) always feels fashion forward.
Rule #6: LOVE ARM CANDY
A statement - making bag will instantly take whatever you're wearing to the next level.
Rule #7: BE SHADY
When putting colours together combine two brights or two pastels - not a bright and a pastel.
Rule #8: MIX BASIC AND BLINGY
To avoid looking over-the-top, tone down a super-dressy skirt with a classic shirt.
Fashionable Films To Know
Everyone loves a great movie! Whether its for the laughs, the tears, or the action; movies are a great way to immerse yourself into another time period or experience the episodes of life that you may have not yet encountered. I personally love watching movies for the FASHION! Taking inspiration from different characters and different time periods can be so much fun. Below, I've listed some of my favorite fashionable films.
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
This movie gave birth to so many fashion must haves! From 'The Little Black Dress' to the black sunglasses to the well placed accessory; this film showcases some of the most recognized fashion statements of all time.

O·P·I HAS MY HEART!!!
Sooooooooo for any of my LD ladies that love OPI and have the OPI Shatter fell in love, am I right????? Alright so we're most likely on the same page... I was told that OPI will be releasing a white and a silver shatter polish in April! I'm aware that China Glaze is releasing a Crackle Glaze collection, but I hadn't heard much about these colours... Lucky for me I'm going to get my hands on the OPI shatter sooner... Seeing as how I have all my American friends on a hunt...

NYFW x MAO INTERNSHIP
I applied for an internship position at MAO PR in New York City not really knowing whether or not they would accept my application. A few days go by and the next thing you know I’m doing phone interviews and getting my NYFW (New York Fashion Week) schedule sent to me! Everything was happening so fast… but I loved it!
On my first day in New York I decided that I should get familiar with my new route to work as the last thing I wanted was to be late. So, I get dressed in some casual attire and set off on my transit journey. It took me about half an hour to get from my home in Spanish Harlem to the busy streets of Manhattan which was perfect. (A huge upgrade from my 2 hour commute from my home in Brampton to my workplace Downtown Toronto!)
So I’m standing on the cobble stone street admiring the scenery, Alexander McQueen store at my back and DVF on my right. I was in fashion heaven! I decided to go up to my office and introduce myself and I definitely was not prepared for what was going to happen next…
FASHION WEEK x MAO PR x THE BLONDS
Ummmmmmmmmmmm, so I was blessed with the chance to work with one of my top 5 FAV designers of this year! The Blonds!! Working along side of Phillipe and David "Blond" had to be one of the biggest highlights of my life... I was interning with MAO PR, and was able to help put together shows like Rochambeau and The Blonds.
I had the chance to meet and work with such amazing people! I learned so much from the designers, PR company, and the other interns... To all the LD readers continue to dream, please do not second guess yourself or be intimidated by anyones negativity... When you work hard you will make your dreams a reality!
Here are some photos from fashion week...

'Pillow Talk'
She may have the face of an angel, but don't let her pretty looks fool you. Reese is all about handling her business. She has proved to myself and many others that "Acting like a lady- Thinking like a bitch" (one of my favourite nebby quotes) can result in an abundance of successes. This Toronto based designer is the new name on all the lips of the city's movers and shakers. Her line is called Lulu Dash and her blog is on my list of favs and keeps me updated on the day in the life of the designer we have come to know and love. I had a chit chat with Reese for a little "Pillow Talk" recently and here's what she had to say...

BEST OR WORST DRESSED?
OSCARS 2011
Here is MY version of 'Fashion Police' for the red carpet...
Here is MY version of 'Fashion Police' for the red carpet...
Halle Berry is wearing Marchesa. Okay when doesn't she look absolutely stunning? Nude, crystal encrusted corset, complete with silk tulle ruffles = in love! Personally I would've added more jewelry on the arms...
Verdict: She looked aaahhhh-mazing
