Fashion Friends

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Pint sized, fashion obsessed twins, Maleah and Brittany Sparks are frequents at HC – and definitely girls to keep your eyes out for. These über hardworking ladies are moguls in the making. They understand that its all about hard work and paying your dues. Under their belts: a Social Media Strategist internship position at YYZ Living (perfect for the self proclaimed, social media obsessed), a beautifully styled website (www.sparkstwins.com) which lead to a rapidly growing online presence. Through emerging themselves in the fashion world, and their smooth networking skills, they were approached by the execs of Fashion Television, to contribute coverage of  Toronto Fashion Week. Next on tap, styling for BOLD Magazine.

We absolutely adore the twins’ personal style. Last time they were in, we chatted about spring fashion and favourite new pieces in store. Their top pics: Chanel, Gucci, and Christian Louboutin of course.

Christian Louboutin Sigourney Ankle Boots // Gucci Babouska Studded Ankle Boots

“The beauty of the red sole heels. Christian Louboutin heels are one of our staple pieces worth the lengthy investment process. Finding a pair (ok TWO pairs) of Louboutin’s consigned is just about impossible, however, the day will come!” Brittany

“We are both very petite, so finding heels that are fashionable and size 5 is just about impossible. If our feet were magically to grow, we would proudly rock these Gucci studded ankle boots. Yup, even to the local strip plaza. They add just enough edge to any outfit.” – Maleah

Prada Black Saffiano Calf Leather Document Holder

“We love Prada, always have and always will. We are always bopping around the city so this Prada large zip bifold is the perfect ‘on the go’ companion.” Brittany

P.S … we adore their tumblr!  (http://sparkstwins.tumblr.com/)

 

Spring has Sprung!

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

Spring is upon us once again. It’s time to shed our winter fur and look forward to what’s to come. More hours of sunshine, warmer weather, and of course – spring fashion. Our fashion forecast: light silks, pretty pastels and Balenciaga.

It was definitely love at first sight when the Balenciaga City Brogue bag came into our lives. A perfect pick for spring; the grey and minty tones freshen any look. We simply adore the lavender Alice + Olivia silk dress not only because it’s super light and comfortable, but it can be styled in many different ways. Top with a tuxedo blazer if you’re out for the night or a light linen jacket for day. Roger Vivier strappy sandals can also go from day to night with elegance and charm.

Spring weather can be a little unpredictable, so we like to be prepared with something that can be paired well with many different coat or jacket options. We suggest staying neutral with this silk Salvatore Ferragamo beige scarf. The chain link pattern adds just the right hint of character without adding too much print.  Little pops of colour and detail are added with light accessories. We are going quality over quantity and choosing investment pieces like the Hermes “Silhouette” narrow printed bracelet and Tiffany twist ring.

Feet Welcome the Fall

Monday, September 26th, 2011

Wave goodbye to your flip flops, open toed wedges and strappy sandals. The time has come for shoes that keep your feet warm and cozy. Lucky for you Haute Classics has your (and your toes) covered.

Stop by the store to have a look at their newest hardware: Gucci ‘Baboushka’ studded booties. And then try leaving without them on your feet.

These leather booties are the perfect shoes to welcome Fall in. With a covered 1/2 inch platform and 41/2 inch heel, you can walk comfortably while still looking chic. And when do studs ever go out of style? A side zipper closure makes sure you can always slip your foot in and out without issue.

Come by Haute Classics and have a look at these absolutely flawless booties and start your Fall off with a Gucci‘d bang!

Fall Trends You Must Own!

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

With fall right around the corner (wah!) it’s about that time to switch your closet over to fall wear. Which means that you need to make sure you have enough of the season’s trends to fill up your closet.Lucky for you Haute Classics has pieces that encompass some of the hottest trends that have already been seen all over the runways.

And luckily a few of them overlap so you can hit a few in one outing!

It’s due to be a gorgeous fall what with all the fabulous trends going around: cowboy chic, sumptuous colours, huge heels, Mad Men style and snakeskin to name a few.

Rodarte, Thakoon, Banana Republic

Take a look at a few pieces that hit all the right notes….no matter how much we want to pretend summer won’t end.

Michael Kors trench in a delicious mustard shade. This is a perfect example of cowboy-esque Tru Grit style.

Continuing with the rich colours trend:


A stunning cerulean Burberry trenchcoat.

A tickled pink frock from Strenesse. Not only is it perfect for the colour craze but it’s also a take on the Mad Men style phenomenon that is taking over stores everywhere.

Speaking of Mad Men here’s an adorable little grey cape with the very popular Peter Pan collar.

Graham & Spencer jacket. This small cape is perfect for those brisk days where a thick jacket is way too heavy.

Also a usual occurance on the ’50s/’60s show are the sexy, straight legged cigarette pants. Exactly like these Haider Ackermann black trousers:

Accessories are not left out of this Fall trend list! Pick up anything you can with a reptilian skin.

Gucci snakeskin purse.


Hérmes crocadile skin purse.


Helmut Lang snakeskin pumps.

A huge trend on the runway was laced up boots on every style from ankle boot to knee-high. Here’s a super sexy pair from Céline.

Last but certainly not least, stacked heels are once again hot as can be. Lucky for us, not only are they chic and stylish but they’re also SO much more comfortable than stilettos.


Marni stacked heels.


YSL stacked heels. A double score as they are available in this deep purple as well as a rich green.

Everything seen here and much more is available at Haute Classics. Put on your sexiest, skimpiest summer dress (while the weather is still warm!) and head over to start your fall wardrobe shopping!
