I love scarves, as I’m sure you do too. So check out this really adorable and helpful YouTube instructional video on 25 different ways to tie a scarf. Perfect for this cold weather we should be getting soon. I personally am over all this rain and am ready to embrace some softly falling snow.

I found the video on one of my favourite blogs of all time, Jezebel, check them out!

I guess it was a slow news day for paps (paparazzi for those of you who don’t read gossip blogs every day ahem) in L.A yesterday because the internet’s been buzzing about, gasp, Katherine Hegel’s coat:

Some love it, some hate it. Micheal K of Dlisted said, “One way to keep psychotic birds from pecking the blood out of your face is to do yourself up so you look like you’ve already felt the beak wrath of a flock of winged animals.” The Daily Mail online disagreed and had some kinder words, saying, “The 32-year-old actress looked glamorous in her oversize belted camel coat, black shorts and leopardskin print boots at a Hollywood gas station.“

My opinion? I love that she is wearing this freaking fabulous coat while pumping gas, especially since it’s like 30 degrees in L.A right now…

Sometimes it pays off to be at the right place at the right time. I randomly asked these two ladies, Malorie and Maureen to pose for the blog. Just so happens they are part of the Ottawa fashion community themselves! Although I’m not surprised with those cute outfits…

Malorie Bertrand  (on the right) runs EF Magazine, a fashion magazine focusing on stylish sustainable Canadian fashion. Please check it out!

Maureen Dickson, (on the left), runs a fashion blog called Slow Fashion Forward, also focusing on sustainable fashion (you can also follow them on Twitter and Tumblr).

Together they are organizing an awesome event called Fashion on Display:

Please take a chance to check out the event, I know I will, their websites and blogs and maybe give some thought to how you can add some sustainable fashion to your wardrobe!

Thanks Malorie and Maureen, hope the event and your causes go well!

Until next time,

So in my in-depth fashion research which exclusively is limited to Cosmo, In Style, and Project Runway, I’ve heard that leather/ pleather is really in this season, which confuses me because isn’t leather / pleather ALWAYS in when it gets cold? Either way, here is Elise wearing an awesome leather / pleather jacket scarf combo:

Also, love the hair! Thanks Elise

It’s clearly already Fall (apparently), so here is a lovely Fall ensemble worn by Lina Crompton, outside of the Bridgehead at Richmond and Golden:

What I love: the beige, brown and black colour combo, the slouchy boots, and the fur (I’m hoping and assuming it’s faux) lined coat with the sleeves cuffed.
Lina was so nice and gave me a sweet pose so her picture gets to be on here twice!

Thanks Lina, hope the coffee warmed you up on this cold, cold day.
