Bootie Call: Fall's Hardest Working Boots

The Pre-Fall 2013 Collection for Tibi. Originally posted in The LOOK

I love nothing more than a great, everyday boot, and nothing makes more sense for every day than a perfect ankle boot. You can rock them with skinnies, of course, or add a bit of edge to a skirt or dress. And the best part about an ankle boot? Where tall boots only make sense for the cold weather months, you can work a short boot into your wardrobe all year long.

For Fall '13, three bootie styles made their way to the top...

Just wrapped up my TV segment for CHCH Morning Live (click here if you missed it) with iVillage.ca and while I would gladly stay in the glamorous world of TV, it's time to get back to serious business. If you consider online shopping 'serious business'. Which I do, luckily. In the interest of time and a wall of looming deadlines, wanted to share three things that have recently struck my fancy. I'm really loving the combo of blue and neon yellow right now - so pretty, right?

Check back tomorrow for all of my pics of ladies and gents rocking their finery at the Queen's Plate. I brought cute husband along and we had the best time ever! Until then, hope your power is on and your basement dry, wherever you might be.

I've often wondered if there's one shining answer to every fashion dilemma and I'm happy to report that I've found it. What do you wear when you've hit the snooze button one too many times? Black & White. What about those days when you have absolutely nothing to wear? Black & White. A super important interview? Black & White. Something to help you look slimmer? You guessed it - Black and White. The non-colour combo is sometimes overlooked for being 'basic' or 'obvious', but here's the thing about this classic trend - not only does it solve nearly any what-to-wear dilemma but designers have been obsessed with the pairing lately, sending black & white looks down the runways of NY, Milan and Paris all season long. Given what It girls like Rihanna and K. Stew are rocking this week at the Paris Fall '13 Couture shows, looks like B&W is here to stay...

Loubi, Loubi, Oh Baby

So...guess who I get to meet tomorrow?? I've somehow worked my way into the exclusive Press Conference and personal tour of the Christian Louboutin exhibit BY CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN LUI-MêME at The Design Exchange in Toronto tomorrow. Dyyyying. And I don't own a single pair of Loubis yet :( Here's the dilemma: Do I go with something totally inconspicuous (black, simple, understated), or Converse to show that I wouldn't dare wear any heels other than Loubis in the Great One's presence? Or do I jump off the train, hightail it to Holts and break the bank for a 3 hour tour (a 3 hour touuur)? Or do I give a slight nod to the Louboutin aesthetic with some rockstar studs à la sandals I featured yesterday? One thing I do know is that this is no time for a Louboutin DIY. I can picture it now - trailing red paint prints behind me as I flee the Design Exchange, Christian screaming, "Traître! POSEUR!!!" all the way. Sh•t. And you think you have problems getting dressed in the morning...Wish me luck. Pics and the whole Louboutin in Toronto lowdown to come...
