Enrique had all of the signs for YLF – corduroys, pop of color and Raybans. Y’all know I’m a sucker for them! I caught up with him on his way to work for the Community Culture and Heritage Department – say that fives times fast.

Just a little leopard meets leather meets (more) leopard moment in my life. I’m also breaking every rule in the book that (erroneously) says you can’t pair black and navy, but I personally love the colour combo. I don’t really have a uniform or go-to look so to speak, but if I did, this would pro...

East Coast Classics: Morgan Coast by Rockport

Sheri
Submitted by You Look Fiiine on 12.13.11 at 8:39am.
When I saw Sheri the lyrics to ‘She’s got the look’ came to mind. You know the one – “nananananananannananannanananananan…she’s got the look’. Sheri was worth crossing the street for. Let’s talk about the outfit – could it be anymore chic?

Pastel Punch
Submitted by Haute Halifax on 12.13.11 at 7:40am.
Despite my tendency to opt for a thrilling palette of black and grey this time of year, I’m making a conscious effort to infuse a little colour into my outfits. I dare say every single colour pairs well with black – even brown and navy – which means there’s no reason my rainbow hues can’t live in...

Danielle

Danielle and her sweetest accessory, Gabriel, were out for a leisurely stroll when I caught up with them yesterday. Danielle’s sister is a ‘sorta fashionista’ and really inspires and influences her style. She likes classic, quality pieces as you can see by the Coach bag, Lulu Lemon jacket (hey Lu...

Earth Tones
Submitted by Haute Halifax on 12.9.11 at 7:45am.
Do you guys have certain colours you gravitate towards wearing? And do those colours match up against what ‘season’ you’re supposed to be according to the 4-season colour theory? I’m an interesting test of the theory, and I’ll tell you why. Way before I had any business dressing for my season, I ...

Favourite Friday Edition: I have no idea what day it is?
Submitted by Fashionable People, Questionable Things on 12.9.11 at 7:05am.
Ally: For those of us in the communications/marketing industry, December is often not a month of rest. This is why I was not surprised that not only had I not started a post last evening, but L-A had not either.

Tracy (the haiiiiir)
Submitted by You Look Fiiine on 12.7.11 at 8:54am.
I bee-lined towards that hair like a bat outta hell. I had to get it! Could not let this hairportunity (too much?) pass me by. Trying not to rudely interrupt the conversation Tracy was enjoying with three of her friends, I went for it. A subtle ‘excuse me’ followed by an overflow of compliments ...

Local Lovin’
Submitted by Haute Halifax on 12.7.11 at 7:34am.
This past Sunday, Yelp Halifax and Biscuit General Store joined forces to celebrate the Yelp Shops Local Pledge by hosting a private evening of shopping game show fun. With Biscuit goodies to be won and Yelp check-in discounts to be had, there was no way that we Haute Hali girls could say, “No.”

Coats I’m jazzed about
Submitted by Fashionable People, Questionable Things on 12.7.11 at 7:11am.
L-A: Part of me wants to talk to y’all about Glee. I could tie it into the post title because of Rachel’s plaid cape/coat deal. But I can’t even. I need to process just how boring that episode was. The most exciting part was seeing Ben Boudreau in an ad mid-episode.

This is not a post
Submitted by Fashionable People, Questionable Things on 12.5.11 at 6:26am.
L-A: I don’t think we’ve ever not posted before. We always post. Or at least warn you.
Sadly, this will be the day we don’t post. Ally had to catch up on a big deadline at work and I actually fell asleep mid-sentence last night. I was talking about the door count at Crafters and then heard mysel...

Street Safari
Submitted by Haute Halifax on 06.24.11 at 8:21am.
Brace yourself: I’m about to talk about the weather again. I just can’t help myself! The past week in Halifax has been quite lovely, and walking home from work to see the patios full day after day (and taking in the odd patio myself), gives me the warm and fuzzies. It’s the same feeling I get whe...
