Luxe Leather Sleeves

The latest Fall coat obsession is all in the details.

Talk about an ultra-luxe way to transform your cold-weather wardrobe from comfy to street cool. Whether you're rocking a liquid leather peeking out of a classic belted trench coat or a sleek leather sleeve attached to a plush fur vest, this luxe trend ups the ante on your Fall style tenfold.

Shop this style at many of our shops as well as our wonderful local boutiques here in Victoria such as Suasion (Johnson Street), Capital Iron (Store Street), The Bay (Douglas Street), Forever 21 (Uptown Centre) and Decade (Government Street), just to name a few.

Jeanne Beker to be honoured at inaugural Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards

 

Longtime fashion and media icon Jeanne Beker will be honoured at the first-ever Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards.

 

 

The Fashion Television Channel's amazing host has been named as the recipient of a benchmark career award at the inaugural gala early next year (2014).

 

 

Presenting Jeanne Beker with this iconic award – designed exclusively for CAFA by celebrated industrial designer Karim Rashid – will be Joe Fresh's creative director, Joseph Mimran, who has been named honorary chair of the event.

 

 

For years, I have been a huge fan of Jeanne. She was host of "Fashion Television" for about 27 years before the sensational style series was cancelled last year. I remembering watching it while I ate breakfast and flipped through fashion magazines in the mornings.

Jeanne has still maintained a stylish presence since the television show, with several fashionable and creative projects including her work with the Fashion Television Channel and as creative director of her own fashion line, Edit by Jeanne Beker, which launched in 2010 at The Bay.

 

"We are honoured to be presenting Jeanne with a special achievement award to recognize and celebrate her work in the fashion industry. She is a wonderful advocate and ambassador for fashion in Canada," CAFA (The Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards) managing director Vicky Milner said in a statement September 5, 2013.

Embellished Ankle Boots

 

Have you noticed it too? Embellished boots seem to be all the rage for fall. Yesterday was my birthday and I am so thankful that my family pays attention to my blog and my style... These amazing boots from Forever 21 were a birthday gift! Xo

 

 

High-Voltage Faux Leather Booties

I love the look of the studded motorcycle ankle boot. They totally add a touch of toughened-up motorcycle style to some seriously glamorous boots.
