Rachel McAdams is one of my favorite actresses, and I think we all fell in love with her somewhere during Mean Girls and the Notebook, but she recently launched her new movie The Time Traveler’s Wife, and showed up in a plunging neckline dress at the opening. So what do you think of her look, yay or nay? First off I must say this is a different look for Rachel, who is otherwise pretty conservative and simple. I don’t hate the dress, but I can’t say I love it either. I don’t know if it’s the angle at which this picture was taken or what, but she seems really short...

Damage from the sun, freckles, dark spots, and scarring can all leave your complexion looking less than lovely. Sure, there are many products out there that claim to lighten your skin and give you a perfect complexion, but can you really trust them? And what’s more, is it really worth it to spend a bundle? I say definitely not! When it comes to beauty, there is virtually nothing that you can’t do at home..especially taking care of your skin. So here are some cheap and natural ways you can lighten your skin and have a beautiful, glowing complexion! Sunblock It’s no mystery t...

It’s that season again where we all whip out our favorite booties and show them off to the world! Whether you love your knee-high boots, ankle booties, or Uggs, boots are a major staple in this fall’s trends. But instead of donning the old classic black boot which can be a little blah and boring, why not opt for something different that will actually stand out? Celebs are seen everywhere wearing their favorite boots, and the most popular choice we’ve seen is the low-heeled brown suede boot which is amazingly versatile since it seems to go along with everything. Pair brown su...

Winter finally crept up on us, and as much as we hate it, we know we need to keep ourselves warm but that doesn’t mean we still can’t look good! One of my favorite trends this season has got to be the leg warmers…and even though they were a big thing back in the 80s, they’re more modernized now so here’s how you can incorporate leg warmers into your wardrobe! With Tights I love love looove wearing tights with leg warmers – it looks absolutely adorable! Pair your leggings/tights with a warm sweater dress and your Uggs. Make sure you wear your leg warmers un...

Is it just me, or is the scarf not a super-versatile fashion item that seems to go with everything? I fell in love with scarves, and shawls when I was a little girl and saw my mom wearing all different kinds and colors. Since then, I’ve been a true scarf girl…with what I now like to call “my collection of scarves”…meaning there are just too many too count and I should probably give some away. But nevertheless, I can’t seem to part without them and for good reason too. For me at least, a scarf can do wonders for an otherwise boring outfit. And since I don...

It’s the year of the crazy nail polish colors, and we’re starting to see more and more wild colors on every single nail from black, to midnight black, and bright neon colors. So how do you choose which shade to sport? Well first, assess your situation. Are you a 9-5 girl working in an office setting? If so, you may want to stay away from really dark colors such as the popular black shades, as well as wild hues like bright green, blue, orange, or yellow. Instead, opt for a hot neon pink or a sparkly white…after all, you still have to look somewhat professional. Needless to say...

Dry, over-treated hair is a big beauty culprit that most of us suffer from and it’s so hard to find a quick, cheap fix for parched hair. I’ve tried many different shampoos to treat my damaged hair, but most of them just weighed it down, especially since I have super thin strands. So I went out looking for some sort of hair mask/treatment that would actually work for me, but of course, I can’t trust anything until I try it out. Long story short, I ended up getting a hair treatment mask called Phytokarite Ultra Nourishing Mask for Ultra Dry Hair, and was I ever glad I did. This...

I absolutely love reading about new designers and their recent accomplishments, but I especially enjoyed reading about designer Dinh Ba because he’s right here at home in Canada…more specifically Quebec. So who is this guy? Dinh Ba was immersed in fashion at a very young age, thanks to his mother who was an haute-couture designer in Vietnam. Ba came to Quebec with his parents at age 6 (his mom is Vietnamese and his dad is Indian). In less than one year he was already picking up his first needles and sewing alongside his mother. Eventually he graduated Lasalle College and worked fo...
