Choosing between fashion and a sustainable future has just got a little easier.  The earthly conscious minds at Reveal have come out with something that’s pretty swanky.
 
Loathe and behold Reveal’s Luxury Bamboo watch. Made from natural bamboo and handcrafted, this timepiece will sure have your bling bling sounding like thump thump (sound of wood; yeah, i know, a little lame). Its Japanese movement, tenacious structure, and eco-friendliness will definitely add a little uniqueness to your wardrobe.   Not to mention, it comes with it’s very own handmade natural bamboo box.
 
Do remember …

 
It’s hard to believe with this beautiful summer weather that fall collections are already making their way into stores. Normally I loathe spotting fall sweaters and heavy tweed skirts in stores in June, but not so with Allison Wonderland’s new collection. Here’s why.
 
Firstly, she has a great name. Secondly, the pieces from her Fall/Winter 2010 collection are all named after films from the ‘70s (the Annie Hall blouse, the Goodbye Girl dress!). And finally, the collection is gorgeous.
 
Featuring everything from working-girl blazers to night-on-the-town dresses, the collection has a range …

 
The Shops-Parts & Labour is the latest hipster hangout to enter the Toronto night scene on West Queen West. A refurbished old mechanic shop, P&L is a hybrid restaurant nightclub. The space has two levels, a top floor restaurant, and a lower level dance floor. The venue is open concept, filled with long dining hall style tables, modern decor, and great food. It is no surprise that the great minds behind The Social, Castor Design and Oddfellows have created such a beautiful space.
 
Another bonus- the prices of the dishes are amazingly …

 
Suspenders are back. I know, I know, you haven’t worn a pair since your second grade class picture but I assure you, suspenders are hip again. We’re are not talking about Gordon Gekko sized two inch think multiple striped braces but a nice simple classic pair of thin ones. I suggest the pair of Fred Perry suspenders pictured above (which also come with some neat packaging) or American Apparel’s unisex set.

 
Every spring it becomes my personal mission to find the perfect trench. While I don’t consider myself to be overly picky when it comes to this wardrobe staple, I do have a few requirements:
 
1. It musn’t be too warm
2. It must be able to handle spring’s fickle weather
3. It must be pretty
 
For those with a similar wish list, your prayers have been answered: FURI’s first-ever women’s outerwear collection has just what you’re looking for. This Montreal-based design duo incorporates the perfect combination of colour, and detail to create a tailored, …

 
Croatian-born designer Damir Doma made his mark on the fashion world in 2006. Known largely for his menswear collection, Doma has attracted a celebrity-studded following – Lenny Kravitz, Bruce Springsteen and R. Patz are among his loyal fans. It’s no surprise then that his first-ever WMNS collection, which recently debuted at Paris Fashion Week, was largely inspired by masculine silhouettes.
 
Asymmetrical jackets, oversized hoods and draped fabrics make up the mostly black and grey collection. No doubt this line screams Fall/Winter – who wouldn’t want to snuggle up in one of …

 
Dynamite Dynamite Dynamite. You’ve done it with your accessible wears. While my personal tastes have spanned across ruffles, braided-anythings, and continual overdosing on chained necklaces, I have to admit that a spring collective that embodies everything that I would predictably wear is more than appealing. Check out their new spring goods below – the prices are more than enough to tip you over and have you in chains and plastics.

Spring is here (indulge me, will you?) and so is Aritzia’s 2010 spring/summer collection. The usual suspects (read: Wilfred, Talula Babaton and TNA) have packed their collections with patterns (stripes, spots, florals!), edgy knit sweaters and, of course, the classic trench.
 
Above? Some of my fave picks for sunshine season.

 
My love for denim knows no bounds – when I happened upon the new GAP 1969 collection, it really couldn’t have had more uncanny timing. I was instantly compelled by the Washed Chambray Light Denim Shirt and it’s casual comfort ways. My only qualm? Having to stick to the no-denim-on-denim rule (aka don’t wear jeans with a denim top. It’s wrong in too many ways to describe).
 
The offerings of GAP 1969 span from blazers to patched jeans (pictured above). The only piece I would admittedly not be overly keen about …

 
Matte matte matte – it’s literally everywhere, lending itself to so many different types of make up. Knock Out cosmetics produces a line of matte nail polishes that are available at point of purchase in a certain Canadian retailer. I admittedly let my impulsive tendency to buy useless things get the best of me (ack, hey, first step is to address it) and I went home with this as an add on to grabbing a slopping slouchy crop shirt (side note…sorry, I digress). The concept behind these matte polishes is …
