In fact, these blankets are in the running to become your cutest summer accessory. From millennial pink pieces by Ban.do to rich colourful creations from Hérmes, rethink what you’re sitting […]

The mantra at this time of year is it’s better to give than to receive. No argument, that’s totally true. But when you’ve worked hard all year, it’s not a far stretch to want to sneak something special onto your list and splurge on yourself too. After all, you’ve earned it. A statement-making ring is […]

For all you Wizard of Oz Mega Fans, September 4, 2014 is a date you are going to want to mark in your calendars. The film’s leading ladies will be transformed high-fashion-style for the film’s 75th Anniversary. Inspired by Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West (we know, we can hardly contain ourselves) Warner Bros. Consumer Products and The Wizard of Oz have teamed with US-based Tonner Doll Collection, plus various designers to create one-of-a-kind 22-inch couture dolls. If you’ve ever thought a green, warty witch couldn’t be glamorous, you’d better think again.

The Wizard of Oz has influenced fashion for decades, from Louis Vuitton’s Follow the Yellow Brick Road-esque dress to Christopher Kane’s rainbow dress of Spring ’14 to Kate Spade gingham pants, the list is endless. But never before have we seen something like this- a heap of our favorite designers re-imagining one of the most popular films of all time! The fashion and costume designers modernizing the looks of the celebrated characters include Trina Turk, Donna Karan, BCBG Max Azria, Chris Benz, Jenny Packham, Marc Jacobs, Betsey Johnson, Lyn Paolo, and Anna Sui– and if the sketches are any indication, this doll collection just may be as covetable as Dorothy’s ruby red slippers themselves. Using elements from the movie, such as Dorothy’s gingham pinafore and the infamous (however, essential) tornado, the designers combined some of today’s greatest styles, including a peplum jumpsuit and eclecticism, into the sketches.

“Cocktails beside the pool” was the creative direction behind the first-ever Trina Turk for Banana Republic collaboration, and since patio season is here, we were happy to hear it.  The capsule collection features classic Trina Turk paisley prints in fun colours like turquoise, lemon, lime and au courant orange.  The collaboration—which includes cute enamel accessories, dresses, shorts and swimwear—stays true to the Palm Springs esthetic that runs through Turk’s namesake line, while also staying true to the Banana Republic price point.  The most expensive item costs $185, roughly half a pair of Trina Turk pants.  More money for mojitos and cute sunglasses; we like.

The Trina Turk for Banana Republic collection will be available June 7 in Banana Republic stores across Canada and online at bananarepublic.ca. Prices range from $45–$185.
