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.

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/)

 

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)
