Bright & Bold

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

There’s something about spring fashion that seems to put us in a bright and cheery mood. We’re loving playing with colour, cuts, and textures to make this spring our most stylish yet. We’ve followed our animal instincts and added a raw edge to this favourite spring look.

 

Hervé Léger bandage dresses are seasonably versatile, chic pieces, that pack a lot of punch. When sized correctly, they accentuate curves in just the right way. The best part, the tops are cut in about a zillion different ways, so whether a scoop, V or sweetheart cut looks best – theres a dress just for you. The bright orange of this dress is the perfect spring pick me up, for your wardrobe.

 

Chloe comme Parris is definitely a favourite Canadian design team. The two design savvy sisters know just how to make clothes that have that certain je ne sais quoi. ‘Cut Blazer’ in navy is the perfect jacket for spring / summer nights out. This slouchy fitted jacket has small magnetic pieces inside the lapels to close and layer many different ways, while cut out shoulders and fitted back detail give the jacket an feminine – edgy look that we can’t get enough of.

Prada, Prada, Prada. Sigh. What is there to say? Pitone Brandy Python “Pattina” Bag (say that 5 times fast) is a drool worthy piece that any fashionly gifted girl should own. It definitely is a splurge piece,  but you’ll love it for a lifetime.

 

Miu Miu black T-Strap Peep – Toe Wedge gives you sky high lift, and are amazingly comfortable! Easy to shop in all day, and dance the night away. With their 1″ platform and 5″ heal, we’re loving the instant super model height these shoes give you.

Chic Treats

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Happy Halloween Fashionistas!

We’ve decided to take goth to a fabulous new level. Indulge on these treats inspired by velvets, leathers and even gorilla fur.

We never thought we’d fall so in love with gorilla chic. (Dolce & Gabbana)
(Size 40 – $1440)

These Haider Ackermann cigarette pants are a great staple addition to any wardrobe.
The slight sheen to the fabric gives them a more sophisticated look than your every day black slack.
(Size 34 – $200)

Jean Paul Gaultier leather skirt transitions effortlessly into winter months – great to keep in mind for holiday parties that are just around the corner.
(Size 6 – $225)

Mini Fendi bag to store some delicious Halloween treats in!
($250)

John Galliano says it all with this amazing wool dress jacket. The single button bewitches the eye to pull in at the smallest part of the waist.
(Size 8 – SOLD)

This Giorgio Armani jacket gives great texture to any LBD. We’ve paired it with a snake skin Ralph Lauren belt, and a classic little black dress from Prada.
(Jacket: size 38 – $400)
(Belt: size MED – $175)
(Dress: size 10 – $156)

Dries Van Noten leather boots play dangerously with the imagination. The cut-out foot detail gives somewhat of a mary-jane style look, but keeps legs warm with covered calves.
(Size 39.5 – $649)

This Miu Miu jacket is to die for. Sequin embellishment around the back of the neck adds playfulness while the pieced fabric and bow add texture.
(Size 6 – $500)

Giuseppe Zanotti gets industrial and adds edge with buckle hardware detailing to these leather boots. They add bold statement to every look. Pair with fun and simple cocktail dress, or go all out with heavy fabrics and lots of draping.
We loved seeing them with the John Galliano jacket featured above!

(Size 39.5 – $395)

Summer Style

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

It’s that time of the year when it seems like your whole schedule is filled with summer weddings. Luckily for you Haute Classics has a multitude of fun, chic outfits that would make a splash whether the wedding is fancy or laid back. By taking what’s trendy this season and mixing in a few pieces that are just not possible to pass up, I’ve thrown together a few outfits that can be worn to weddings and any other.

Look #1

An adorable short black sequin dress with cork sandals and a pop-of-colour red purse. This look is fun, flirty and will have you looking spectacular on the dance floor.

Robert Rodriguez dress. Even though sequins may seem heavy, the low back and open sides will provide you with plenty of air.

Louis Vuitton purse and Chanel shoes. This adorable little purse is the perfect pop of colour against a black frock. The sandals keeps things light and effortless but still super chic.

Look #2

This outfit screams summer lovin’. A bright dress made from a light fabric with a sash to cinch your waist. Paired with bright heels and a colourful clutch, this look can go from a wedding to a walk through Bloor St.

Beaubois dress. A flowy, flirty dress in a warm yellow tone with a buttery brown sash.

Lodis clutch and Christian Dior shoes. These accessories are right en pointe with the flourescent colours trend. By pairing complimenting colours in bright, vibrant shades you’ll look like a stylish updated version of the 80s.

Look #3

This time the flourescent colour is all in the dress and the accessories are toned down…sort of.

Sportmax dress. The loose draping style of this dress is very modern Grecian goddes, with completely open sides for an uber sexy appeal. But don’t worry, a mesh underlay is right there making sure you keep things classy but still stay cool.

Louis Vuitton purse and Jimmy Choo shoes. You may think that a jean purse lowers the class rating on an outfit, but the LV brand keeps you feeling swanky. And do these Choos even need an explanation?

Look #4

Ah the black dress. A quick go-to decision for many women. I almost didn’t want to put a black dress option (it being a bright and colourful summer and all) but I couldn’t turn my nose up at the big style staple for any season.

Jean Paul Gaultier dress. This frock is perfect for the girl who wants to follow the minamalist trend. From far away its a plain black dress but up close you can see the ruffled detailing and sheer fabric.

J. Crew clutch and Miu Miu shoes. Add a punch of glamour with a sequin clutch and vibrant shoes. The shoes ensure that you’ll be center of attention on the dance floor and the clutch will be reflecting the sun’s rays all day.

Look #5

I know I can’t be the only one who is constantly thinking about tan lines. This option of a strapless dress will have you picturing your glowing skin while you’re watching outdoor I Dos.

Diane von Furstenberg dress. The colour and pattern of this dress is very ’70s…a trend that is huge this season.

Louis Vuitton purse and Sergio Rossi shoes. With a dress that colourful, you don’t NEED to go all out on the accessories but you definitely still CAN. By choosing a pair of shoes in a colour that’s not featured on the dress (but still matches) you get an extra pop of colour while still letting them stand out. And a white purse is the perfect summer accessory for any event.

Hurry down to Haute Classics and pick out your own perfect summer wedding guest look from head to toe.
