Graphic stripes, blazers and blotted red lipstick come to mind when we try to pin down what makes ‘French girl style’ so timeless, effortless, and distinct. Parisian labels Sandro and Maje, founded by sisters Evelyne Chetrite and Judith Milgrom, which traffic in the gospel of French girl style are now bringing their classic cool to Sherway […]

First came “mom jeans,” now it seems like the latest parental-inspired trend is “dad sneakers.” High-fashion sneakers have been in since roughly 2013, and the latest iteration of the trend channels the chunky New Balances that a fashion-clueless dad wears because they’re “so comfortable.” With Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton at the forefront of this trend, […]

To dress à la française is the sartorial #goal for any woman who considers Caroline de Maigret her muse. Two labels that innately reflect the effortlessly chic French style are Sandro and Maje.

In the world of fashion buzzwords, one bandied around on the daily is “contemporary.” Meant to describe labels with a designer aesthetic and more accessible price points (and we use the term “accessible” loosely, with most pieces averaging out around $500), the term means big bucks where the fashion industry’s concerned, having become one of […]

See these Wimbledon looks up close »

Oh, Wimbledon, one of the rare occasions where fashion and sports come together. The prestigious British tennis tournament—known for its royal patronage and its heavy supply of strawberries and cream—doubles as the perfect backdrop for It-Brits and out-of-town celebs to outshine each other courtside. The event promises world-class people watching with annual appearances by the Middleton clan, David and Victoria Beckham and Anna Wintour.

Yesterday marked the opening day of this year’s Wimbledon tournament and the spectators were definitely on their fashion A-game. Wimbledon regular Pippa Middleton took in the action from the royal box where she and Kate Middleton—who’s now too pregnant to attend—have sat in years past. Also spotted was British supermodel Naomi Campbell, who took in the tennis from the Evian Live Young VIP Suite.

From Sydney to Tokyo, the black-and-white trend made big on the runways was spotted with as many different stylings as locales this week. Worn by Jessica Alba in the form of a simple menswear-inspired tux at the opening of Tommy Hilfiger’s first Asia flagship store; in the sweetest little Stella McCartney bow dress by Zooey Deschanel at the music video premiere of Paul McCartney’s “My Valentine” in Los Angeles; and finally, by Rihanna in a street-ready combo while on tour to promote her first acting gig in Battleship down under. We’ve chosen 14 affordable pieces (all under $140!) to help you channel these gals on your own terms.

Well, lookie here! We hadn’t even heard a whisper about this, but apparently our favourite model/literary offspring has been busy. Just in time for Sandro’s New York store opening and U.S. online shop (they ship to Canada, trust us), the awesomely amazing French brand has teamed up with Dree Hemingway to create a distinctly American-feeling 10-piece capsule collection. The collection has easy printed and tie-dyed separates that reference the model’s childhood and “family spirit.” While we don’t exactly get For Whom the Bell Tolls from an ikat blouse, we’d also be referencing the late, great Ernest Hemingway till the cash cows came home if we were his descendants.

Dree Hemingway for Sandro will be available in Canada exclusively at the Bay beginning in March 2012.

The ladies have spoken, and it’s leather they’re after to fill their closets this fall. Not just for biker babes anymore, the season has us swimming in feminine options that are equal parts naughty and nice. From body-con dresses to pencil skirts, the new way to wear leather is all about ladylike silhouettes, mixing fabrics, and layering luxe textures like cashmere and fur.

Mixing prints is a fun way to liven up any outfit. It can be a bit tricky, though, so be cautious and don’t overwhelm your body. Wild, mismatched patterns are in desperate need of a slim, well-fitted silhouette to draw the eye in—the wrong fit risks making you look more like a bulk bag of gummies than eye candy. Don’t be shy with colour. For the perfect pop, extract one shade from a print in the form of a shoe. And limit your accessories, keeping the chosen few minimal. If you’re still weary about mixing prints, get your feet wet by wearing one strong pattern on the body and incorporate another with a bag. Novices beware: Leave mixing more than two prints at a time to the experts.
