With less than a month to Christmas, glitzy shopping meccas north and south of the border are pulling out all the stops while unveiling their eagerly anticipated holiday windows. From Lady Gaga’s poptastic takeover at Barneys New York, to the Bay’s old fashioned ode to holiday cheer, there’s lots to feast the eyes on before engaging in some major gift hunting.

While we don’t think that such creativity should be measured, we’ll just ask: which is your favourite?

Wear this sequin tank to a holiday fête and have all eyes on you. ($38, at Smart Set stores across Canada)

The post Daily steal: Sequin tank, $38 appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

We know the holiday season has begun once the winter issue comes out, and once our inboxes fill up with emails inviting us to holiday parties, pop-ups, and sales. We’ve gone through them all (and checked the list twice!) to give you a collection of December’s best holiday sales. Put on your mittens and make the trek out to your favourite shops and markets, Canadian gals—you’ll save a bundle on gift buying, so you can buy yourself an early holiday treat.

Just in time for Christmas, two beloved jewellery brands are opening second locations in the Vancouver area. With the arrival of Tiffany & Co. (Oakridge Centre, 650 W. 41st Ave., tiffany.ca) and Thomas Sabo (Metropolis at Metrotown, 4700 Kingsway Ave., Burnaby, thomassabo.com), expectations for a little blue or black-and-white box under the tree will double.

When dressing for a formal affair, the rules aren’t so black and white. Electric furs and feathers add spark to the classic evening pantsuit. Get inspired by our electric photo shoot from our Holiday issue.
