Layered Clothing

2007-08-04T20:23:59Z

Hello, everyone!

I really like the look of layered clothing, but don't know how to execute it. Sounds silly, but it's true. I'm limited since I did a big closet clean out, and have a lot of shopping to do.

Few minutes ago, I tried layering with a tank top, knit dress, cardigan, waist belt, leggings and boots, and it looked fine. But now I have no clue what else to layer with. I'm thinking of buying a couple long cardigans and long shirts/dresses to pull this off. If anyone has any tips and stores in mind, please let me know.

P.S. I'm trying to get prepared for fall/winter already!

Intro/Some New Things

2007-07-24T00:25:06Z

Well Hello Everybody! Found this community somehow starting with a UK fashion community and somewhow wandered here. So happy I finally found a Canadian Fashion community!

Here's an intro and some recent buys!

Alrighty I am Nikki and I live in Halifax. I love to shop but rarely find clothes I like that are cheap and comfy. Love the second hand stores and bargain hunting with my best friend Chelsea.

(Excuse the squinty face) but I loved how comfy this outfit was the day I wore it with black leggings and some flats.
Grey shirt: around $20 Old Navy
Maroon Tank: $7 AE (not a huge fan of AE but it was cheap)
Earings: $2 Diva (RIP Diva)

cannot live without my puffer, mac makeup, dark nail polish, mascara, cell phone and music.

Favorite shoes -- Striped: $40 Gap -- Pink: $49 Aldo

Ok time for some recent buys/finds.

Given to me from a family friend.

$23 American Apparel

$45 American Apparel

$40 (way to much for this hoodie now that I realize it) Bootlegger

and to top it all off...my work uniform!!!! (ps: I'm a lifegaurd)

Are there any lip plumping products that actually work?

Thanx!!

Wellies?

2007-03-02T12:53:28Z

Is it possible to find Wellies in Toronto? If so, where? I'd really like some Wellies to combat the upcoming (and hellish) spring rain.

I want to buy some low-top Converse but I'm having trouble finding them online.

Anyone know of any website that ships to Canada without being too expensive?

I'm kind of going out on a limb here, and I know this community hasn't been very busy in the past while but I'm hoping someone will see this and be able to help me.

I'm trying to find a pair of boots for the rest of winter/spring in Montreal. I've been looking all over and can't find what I want, which are boots like these:

this is a horrible picture but these are exactly the boots I would like.

Heres another similar picture:

I'm pretty much looking for a tan colored leather-like boot that I can wear in slush and water.
Thanks!!

Attention Fashion Designers!

2007-02-08T15:47:37Z

Are there any fashion designers from around the GTA who are interested in being profiled for a magazine article? I'm specifically looking for designers around the Oakville/Hamilton/Burlington area.
It's a great opportunity to get the word out about your designs, and showcase your clothing.

Montreal stylist ideas?

2007-02-08T02:44:21Z

Hey Canadians!

I live in Connecticut, but one of my best friends had the BEST haircut of her life in Canada ... so I'm going to be in Montreal in a few weeks and thought it would be fun to get a haircut. Any ideas out there for super hip and excellent short hair stylists? I'm really into Tokyo styles (i.e. hair styles in the movie "Babel"). Thanks much! Merci!

What does one wear to a friend's sweet 16 surprise party on a yacht? We've decided we should all dress formally. But I don't want to overdress or underdress. Any suggestions? I'm also on a very tight budget.

Also, where can I find cheap, (peep-toe or not) gold flats in Vancouver, BC?

Thanks!

wedding fashion

2007-01-07T20:15:44Z

i am engaged. yay. now i am having a problem finding a dress that matches my personality. i dont want anything too formal and over the top. i went to the mall today and had a lot of trouble finding something suitable. so my question is ...where can i find dresses? online or in the malls. even places that have white (or light coloured) prom dresses. im not too into the bridal stores because i feel they will over charge and also be too formal.

(that last one would be my absolute dream one ...if it suits me that is)

New!

2006-12-23T03:21:53Z

Hi everyone. I'm new to this community and new to being a livejournal user, but I've been lurking in a bunch of communities forever! I'm a 19 year old girl living in bleak northern Ontario. I make trips to Toronto a few times a year to get my big-city fix. I want to go to law school at U of T once I finish my undergrad here (only 2 more years!), and I will probably bankrupt myself from all the shopping I plan to do. I love Sephora, Aritzia, Urban, Le Chateau, and H&M just to name a few. I'm terrible at thrifting but I hope to become better some day! Anyway, lets get on to the post. There are a ton of pictures so bear with me.

Me being the nerd that I am, waving to the community. haha.

Absurd face and pose, but that's ok! T-shirt from Le Chateau, sweater vest from H&M, Mavi jeans

Sweater vest and shirt from Le Chateau (they are one shirt.. I know I'm lame), same jeans as before, necklace from Sirens

sweater shrug thing from Smart Set, black tee from Garage, tank from Aritzia, jeans from Gap, bangles from Sirens, headband from Le Chateau and purse from Urban. The shrug is a brighter teal than the picture shows.

I love this coat so much and did not feel the need to put on pants. Sorry! Coat from Aritzia, boots from Aldo.

Front view of the coat/my face looking busted.

Jacket from Lululemon that I am in love with!

Being totally lame and working the jacket at the same time.

Winter outfit! Sweater from H&M, Silver jeans

Detail of the sweater.. sorry for the blurriness. It reminds me of wheat.

Thank you for enduring this long post! I look like I have a stache in this picture, but I swear I don't!

Until next time!!

thanks!

edit: ... where i can find it ONLINE for download?

So I know this is probably REALLY early to be asking this but does anyone know of what kind of boxing day sales various stores are having? If you work there you might know something, right?

Like... The Gap, Artizia etc. ANYWHERE REALLY.

I'm just super excited for Boxing Day, lol :(
