<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">And this is what I did in LA! I styled this video featuring Iggy Azalea, First and Rich from FKi, and Diplo. It features pieces from Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Rick Owens, Balmain, Preen, YSL, Helmut Lang and more. The whole experience was awesome, hilarious, and surreal.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Because I fashion myself a mix of Joan Rivers, Stacy London, and Steven Cojocaru, I feel that this gives me the authority to compile a list of the ten best dresses of the year. The only description that would do these dresses justice is beyond enviable (nipped waist could also apply). So here they are, in no particular order as that would require too much thinking for my brain, which is currently on vacation. Beautiful dresses (and the women who wore them), I salute you!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you're fortunate enough to work at a place with a liberal dress code such as I do, then an essential part of your work wardrobe should be the work onesie (work onesie <span class="prondelim" style="background-color: white;">[</span><span class="pron" style="background-color: white; display: inline;">wurk wuhnsee</span><span class="prondelim" style="background-color: white;">]: a jumper that is acceptable for the work place). Work onesies offer the ultimate level of comfort without making one look like a total slob in front of one's boss. And they're perfect for days when you're a little under the weather (such as the day after the office Christmas party) or when you simply feel like not being productive. The onesie I found below is from Haltson Heritage and I got it at 80% off from the Bay back in the summer. It has seriously changed my life. I no longer have to resort to leggings when I want to be comfortable at work. And gone are the days when I turn to my lululemons as a travel outfit (yes, the work onesie also functions as a travel onesie). Work onesies are a serious investment piece. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="prondelim" style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">(please excuse the awkward posing below - I don't do this often - and focus on the shit that matters, that being the onesie)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The thing that one must remember is that not every onesie can be a work onesie. Strapless onesies and onesies with spaghetti straps are not acceptable unless the top is covered up with a cute cardigan or blazer. Also, remember that onesies look a lot better when paired with heeled shoes (so no one can argue that you're not putting in effort). I'm sure everyone would love to sport the work <a href="http://seeshebuys.blogspot.com/2011/12/badass-tuesdays_20.html">onesie</a> that Virginie Courtin-Clarins was wearing the other day however, not everyone can afford Louis Vuitton. So here are more reasonable work onesies that I found on various sites.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ok so my love of all things neon is starting to turn into an obsession which will inevitably turn into a stalker-like relationship. SO to end things before it gets bad, I present these crazy cool neon bags from Christoper Kane (and it really doesn't help that all the neon goods with which I'm obsessed are totally out of my price point). They're exclusively found on <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Designers/Christopher_Kane/Bags">Net-a-Porter</a> and they're are oh tasty and make my heart beat quickly.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Which leads me to the paradox - what do you get a girl whose style is at the crossroads between polished femininity and disco raver? The answer: the best of both worlds. Below you'll find a collection of the best gifts to give a girl who can't decide between a life of pearls and a life of neon (a more common predicament than you'd think).</span></div>

Pre-Fall! Pre-Fall!<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Although seemingly not as significant as the Fall and Spring RTW collections, the current batch of Pre-Fall 2012 collections are <b>killin' it. </b>First Burberry and now Thakoon, Rag & Bone, Chanel, and Reed Krakoff. And then there's Theyskens' Theory. JE-SUS. Can all of the following outfits just jump out of the computer screen and on to my body? That would make my Monday so much better.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ummmmmmm have you seen a nicer-dressed couple than this couple o' models in Burberry pre-fall looks? Didn't think so. In dream land, my boyfriend and I would dress like this every day. And even though this is pre-fall, I wish I had these clothes now for the holidays. Nothing says <i>holiday potlucks, dinner with his parents, Christmas shopping, church services, and Nutcracker shows</i> like cinched bow belts, fur collars, velvet blazers, tweed pants, and a-line skirts. Well done, Christopher Bailey.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Seeing this photo of Sarah Jessica Parker reminds me of my utter distaste for blue tights. I have tried to embrace the look but I cannot get over the fact that no matter how fit or toned one's legs are, if one chooses to go blue regardless of the shade, one never comes off as fun and cute but rather one always looks like a certain blue cartoon character. While I'm all for wearing colour, there are so many better ways to sport it without looking like an aspiring smurf. The disgust I hold for blue tights is a complex from which I cannot escape.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And so I now present the newest additions to the <a href="http://images.wikia.com/smurfs/images/b/b7/Smurfette_old.jpg">smurfettes </a>(dubbed by yours truly): </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gossip Girl Smurf, It Girl Smurf, City Smurf,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Soul Smurf, Arwen Smurf, and Edgy Smurf.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So in conclusion, skip the blue tights unless you are aspiring to be the next smurfette (a task I think Nicki Minaj is actually trying to achieve).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">While clothes are my one true love, I do occasionally like to indulge in the art of baking. And what better excuse to bake than throwing a holiday party!?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">'Tis the season for getting, giving, and giving back. The last action is the one that I want to discuss today - </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">in this rather scholarly sounding but nonetheless compelling blog post - with regards to the fashion industry. and how this industry is giving back to the environment by adopting sustainable practices that are less damaging to the planet. While the basic notion underlying fashion is that it is inherently unsustainable - in the sense that each season consumers are encouraged to dispose of their last season duds in favour of new, trendier clothes - I found an interesting </span><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sustainable-business/blog/social-environmental-issues-luxury-sustainability" style="font-size: x-large;">article</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> on the Business of Fashion published by the Guardian which reconciles the link between luxury fashion and sustainability. Essentially, one of the necessary factors for an item to be considered "luxury" - namely high quality leading to high durability - entails that the item will last for a very long time, leading one to buy better quality and buy less (which is how the French purchase clothing). So instead of buying 10 bags from Forever 21 that will fall apart in a years' time, it's better to save up for a Givenchy bag that will last a lifetime (this is the principle behind one of my favourite fashion concepts: </span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>investment pieces</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Of course, this principle alone does not enhance the overall sustainability factor of the industry firstly because not everyone can afford luxury products no matter how long they save up - it's simply not accessible. Secondly, the principle is counterintuitive to one of the driving forces behind fashion, that being consumerism. Yes, fashion is an art form however if the primary goal is not to sell it, then the industry would not exist. Thus, there has been in shift in recent years towards using materials that are eco-friendly, organic, and have a low environmental impact. Stella McCartney was one of the pioneers of the eco-fashion movement by building her brand on planet-friendly practices such as using natural and renewable materials in her pieces. On the lower-end is H&M, who launched their conscious collection this year which uses sustainable materials such as organic cotton and recycled polyester.**</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The problem is that shifting to sustainable practices can compromise the desirability factor of the clothes (desirability being another one of the fashion industry's driving forces). The Business of Fashion has an <a href="http://www.businessoffashion.com/2010/07/in-ethical-fashion-desirability-is-sustainability.html#more-13908">article</a> which, among other things, discuss the tenuous link between sustainability and desirability and contains a quote from the former Barneys fashion director Julie Gilhart who commented, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">“At Barneys, when we explicitly labeled Stella McCartney’s organic line with the word ‘organic’ its perceived value actually went down in the eyes of the consumer, even though it was actually more expensive to produce.”Gilhart is an advocate for enhancing sustainbility of the industry and she has stated, "</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22px;"> the best way to make an impact on the fashion industry is to “attack the big guys” like H&M, Nike, Wal-Mart and the Gap ,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22px; text-align: left;">Those are the people who are really impacting the planet from an environmental point-of-view”. </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">All this to say, what can we do as consumers? While I'm all for saving up for Givenchy bags clearly the choice to buy solely luxury goods is not viable for many (myself included). What is viable is making conscious purchases of clothing and being aware of the impact a particular item might have on the environment.</span></span></div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So that concludes my academic commentary for the week. Now let's dance, because it's Friday!</span><br />
<br />
** While there are a myriad of eco-friendly clothing brands out there - and while their efforts need to be applauded - I am just focussing on the efforts of the large scale fashion labels and companies as they are the ones that have the capacity to take the niche movement and turn it into the status quoEmmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15148532428315947387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726832718819156797.post-85180292429339100122011-11-29T16:23:00.001-08:002011-11-30T07:35:43.813-08:00If You're Ever in Vancouver: Front and Company<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Main Street in Vancouver is chock-full of great vintage stores and small clothing boutiques such as the <a href="http://barefootcontessaboutique.wordpress.com/">Barefoot Contessa</a>, <a href="http://www.lark.me/">Lark</a>, and <a href="http://twiggandhottie.com/">Twigg&Hottie</a> but my favourite of them all has to be <a href="http://www.frontandcompany.ca/">Front and Company</a>. Front and Company carries new, vintage and consignment clothing as well as a ton of bags, shoes, and other cool stuff. I was mostly impressed by their awesome selection of cute and quirky jewelry and by their extensive consignment section which features a lot of pieces from contemporary and designer brands like DVF, Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs, Isabel Marant, Wilfred, Thakoon, and much more at quite reasonable prices and in great condition. When I was there last, I picked up these two items:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Front and Company recently opened up an online store which sells a ton of accessories, beauty products, and home decor. The <a href="http://www.frontandcompany.ca/jewelry.html">jewelry section</a> is particularly enticing: there are many cute necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that are perfect Christmas presents for <strike>me</strike> the people I love.</span><br />

However, the Gods are right in saying that one should pair anything sequin'ed or glitter'ed with something more toned down - such as shoes, tops or bottoms with solid, neutral colours - so your look is not totally overwhelming.</span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Here are some of my favourite looks that feature my favourite embellishments. </span></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">After mourning the loss of the </span><a href="http://seeshebuys.blogspot.com/2011/11/obsession-theyskens-theory.html" style="font-size: x-large;">Theory pants</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I was in a vulnerable state so </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I couldn't help myself when these merlot Rag & Bone skinny jeans rolled in work. I mean they're pretty great...and merlot, which is a colour I've come to appreciate a lot lately after purchasing </span><a href="http://www.ssense.com/men/product/apc/simple_wool_sweater/40580" style="font-size: x-large;">this sweater</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> (and yes, I'm aware it's a men's sweater but I really don't care). This is how I am justifying this purchase:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1. Needed a distraction to get my mind off the Theory pants</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">2. I don't have any pants in that colour AND I wanna rock M-on-M (merlot-on-merlot)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">3. They are sooooooooooo insanely comfortable. Like leggings minus the awkward 90's throwback</span><br />
