I can’t make it through a day without my mascara running below my eyes. I’ve tried the waterproof kind but always end up with my “racoon eyes.” What gives? Mascara presents a challenge to people with oilier skin, and those who have extra-straight or super-short lashes. Get awkwardly close to a mirror and examine how […]

Westons, Mimrans, Budman and Green. There are some Canadian fashion families that are so well documented, their faces are as familiar as Brad’s and Angelina’s. It’s not that we don’t revere these brilliant style mavericks for putting Holt Renfrew, Club Monaco, Joe Fresh and Roots on the map, but in this issue, we wanted to turn the spotlight on some Canadian fashion families you may not be as familiar with. We always assumed there was a Laura, for whom the chain is named, but we didn’t realize she opened shop in 1930. The story of how 100 Jacob stores were born out of a dream is an inspiration. And how marvellous that the Cherry family passed their knowledge of retail down like a precious heirloom to Barry and Deena Weinberg, who run the Max Mara flagship in Toronto.

On Tuesday night, Interview, a.k.a. one of New York’s definitively coolest mags, threw down with home-grown megabrand Joe Fresh atop the Spoke Club to celebrate the film “Like Crazy,” alongside its rising stars Felicity Jones (we’ve heard her referred to as the next Carey Mulligan) and Anton Yelchin. Everything was orange-y hued (including the Negroni), which is probably why Jessica Chastain showed up. Or maybe it was to engage in a ginge showdown with also-stunningly-tressed PR gal Alison Lawler-Dean. Despite the slight chill in the air, the patio was packed with minglers, including the inimitable power couple Joe Mimran and Kimberley Newport-Mimran.

I like the soft, romantic eye makeup that Keira Knightley has been spotted wearing during TIFF. How can I recreate this look on myself? Keira swayed from using traditional black liner to smudge around her eyes and used a flat, non-shimmery grey shadow instead. Finding the correct finish—matte and flat, opposed to waxy and shiny—is […]

Well, last week the sexual tension finally got some relief with a spared-from-staking Eric reunited in a patch of moonlight to get it on with Sookie. That’s about the only good thing that happened, with Jesus almost dying from a Grandpa-inflicted snake bite, Tommy having sex with Sam’s girl Luna while shifted into a Sam clone, and Antonia getting full control of Marnie’s body. Looks like there’s trouble ahead, so let’s just hope they give us a bit more Sookie and Eric before the inevitable chaos.

Kill Bill
-Bill’s guard, sometime-lover, and witch-undercover Katerina gets killed by an under-Antonia’s-control Sheriff Luis.
-Marnie/Antonia (let’s just call her Antonia here on in; bad tabloid names like Martonia or Antarnienia, are so ’00s) escapes from King Bill’s while Luis goes and shoots him full of silver before self-staking.
-Not to worry, this isn’t a Who Shot J.R.? Situation. Bill fully survives, and now he knows what Antonia is up to.
-Bill has Jessica over to tell her about Antonia and her powers—do we really need Jessica asking dumb questions to explain to us what’s going on? Is this a mid-season catch-up for those who haven’t been watching? Boring.
-Bill instructs his remaining sheriffs to silver themselves and tell all others to flee the state. (Hmmm, why just this state? Does she only hate Louisiana vamps?) They question his orders. (Ugg, are they really that dumb?) Also, why isn’t he calling Nan Flanagan? Doesn’t he tell her like, everything? Maybe they speed-texted.

From the upcoming Versace for H&M collaboration to Danier’s ongoing Canadian-on-Canadian capsule collections with the likes of Mark Fast, Greta Constantine and FASHION contributor George Antonopoulos, high-low team ups are continuing to bring luxury designs to the masses. We haven’t had enough. In fact, we vote for more! Here are four mega-designers and Canadian stores that we think should get together and jump on the bandwagon post-haste.

Here are the 4 team ups we’re dreaming of »
