Happy St. Patty's Day! (In Style)


Known for green beer, Irish pubs and munching on potatoes, St. Patty's Day is the last day that is thought of as fashionable but that does not mean you can't add little fashionable green wear into your outfit for some festive fun!

This green kaleidoscope bag by Matthew Williamson for Bulgari for example or these adorable gold Thistle and Clover stud earrings available at Refinery29. So when you go out tonight remember, fashion does not have to be forgotten when you are having fun!

How will you make St. Patty's Day more fashionable? Let me know in the comments, Facebook and Twitter!

Enjoy!

Buying a Counterfeit Bag Comes with a Price

Amanda's Fashion Spot is a strong advocate against the purchase of counterfeit products. As I have discussed before, the thrill of buying a fake Burberry bag for a tenth of the price may seem exciting, but what you don't know is that the money that you use to buy that bag often supports child labour and terrorism. What is often unknown is the amount of money that major fashion houses lose every time someone purchases a counterfeit bag or accessory and these fashion houses are not taking it lightly.

Three Canadian production companies have recently been sued by Burberry and Louis Vuitton for up to $3 million in damages for trademark and copyright infringement after they were caught selling counterfeit products. After a series of private investigations, it was discovered that these companies have been involved in purchasing knockoffs for quite some time with this lawsuit being called, the "largest anti-counterfeiting judgment in Canadian history".

How do you feel about counterfeit products? Have you ever purchased a counterfeit product? Let me know in the comments, Facebook and Twitter!

However, all this success has not stopped Bieber's flame from burning bright and this Monday, March 14th at 11am you can get to know a whole new side of him at the Bata Shoe Museum. That's right fashionista's and fashiomista's, artist Landon Holmes has organized the newest addition to the museum's collection- Justin Bieber's shoes!

British Fashion Invasion Hits The Bay!

The British fashion invasion continues with the TopShop and Topman lines being the latest UK fashion exports to land in the Great Canadian North.

Soon Jonathan+Olivia won't be the only store carrying looks from the highly popular retailer because Canada's oldest department store, The Bay has earned the franchise rights to carry both shops within The Bay as well as standalone stores. Famous for their fast-fashion looks and designer collaborations with Kate Moss, their clothing is popular with fashionistas such as Lauren Conrad, Alexa Chung and Rachel Bilson.

If you can't wait to get your hands on some TopShop, you are going to have to wait a little longer because the line won't be available until the Fall. But don't fret, it gives you something to look forward to!

What fashion collections do you wish were available in Canada? What is favourite fashion collection import? Let me know in the comments, Facebook and Twitter!
