As editors, we get a peek, often months and months in advance, at what’s coming next. It’s hard not to put parkas on our wishlists in the height of summer and have bikinis on the brain in February. Thinking ahead is one of the best parts of the job, especially when it comes to the […]

There’s no time like the holiday season to bring on the bling in shiny metallics. On the runway, Marc Jacobs did it best in a gown (pictured above) laden with silver sequins. And for those other precious metals, we’re looking to Dolce & Gabbana, where tone-on-tone texture and all over patterns add a new dimension to the gold standard.

Largely inspired by current runway trends, the brand’s 9.5.7 collection aims to dress busy women from home to the office and beyond. “With the 9.5.7 collection, we’re trying to make life a little simpler by allowing women to shop the looks and suggest matches they may not have thought of before. We want to make sure they feel both on trend and confident in the boardroom,’’ says Sanda Léveillé, merchandising manager for the brand.

Specially curated for a career woman, the collection features 15 pieces that play off classic office pieces like a simple white shirt and dress pants. Offering stylish pieces fit for any office dress code, the 9.5.7 collection is complete with clean feminine lines laced with inspirations from the menswear section as well as a mix of prints and textures to help keep the black, white and grey colour code interesting. To add a tasteful accent to your fall outfit, burgundy coloured handbags and heels will sure make chic statement pieces. With the collection allowing you to mix and match pieces, you can create up to 30 different looks for the office!

If you’re looking to round out your Spring 2013 wardrobe before the thermometer hits a favourable temperature, we have some easy fixes and it’s all about accessories. From peekaboo panels on red leather purses to woven wedges, these on-trend pieces can complete any look.

For Spring 2013 we saw festival style take its place on the runways of Altuzarra and Band of Ousiders, so why not complete your Coachella packing with a woven bangle and wicker clutch? Sun-drenched raffia, wicker and straw are woven into wedges, stacked heels and shopping totes, signalling laid-back summer style. And if you’re not flocking to one of the many summer festivals and want to keep it basic, the new see-through trend is one that will keep you in the clear. Basic accessories have been redefined by giving oxford shoes plastic inserts and chunky heels on strappy sandals have been made see-through. These peekaboo plastic panels lend lightness to polished metallics and patent leathers.

It’s a sweltering summer day, but in a cavernous (and thankfully, cool) Montreal loft studio a model is glammed up like a hostess at a holiday fete. The shoot is for a capsule collection that brings together 365-store-strong Canadian retailer Reitmans and two-year-old fashion label Martin Lim, designed by Montreal-based husband and wife team Pao Lim and Danielle Martin, who won last year’s Mercedes-Benz Start Up competition. But these designers aren’t exactly new kids on the block. After both completing a master of arts in fashion at London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins, Martin and Lim honed their design skills in Paris: she worked at Christian Lacroix; both put in time at Roland Mouret. In 2004, they returned to Canada, and launched their own line in 2010.

The coloured denim trend is going strong this season. Paired with a plain tee or a bold pattern, these brightly hued slim-fit jeans are sure to speak volumes. ($34, reitmans.com)
