Photo of the Day: TIFF Baby!

While enjoying the Toronto International Film Festival, actress Jennifer Connelly stepped out at premiere wearing this sophisticated yet sexy black number by Yves Saint Laurent. Simple and classic is sometimes the best way to go.

TIFF Red Carpet Fashion!

It's TIFF time in Toronto and you know what that means? Lights, Camera, Fashion! All the hottest stars are making their way to the T.Dot to not only celebrate their latest films but to display their latest fashion choices. Take a looksy below to see my favourite looks from the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival!

Here we have Camilla Belle dressed in a cap sleeved shift dress. With a fitted white strapless mini dress underneath a webbed black overlay, a classic look becomes a unique statement dress. 

The Queen and the Upper East Sider each have a very different take on colour but the both looks definitely work. Helen Mirren is ladylike in a floral dress with green satin clutch fit for a classic English tea party. The sheen on her belt and bag compliment her radiant glow and bright smile. Blake Lively in a sequined burgundy dress with floral detail shows that autumnal shades and Chanel are always perfect for this time of year.

Enjoy!

"September is the January of Fashion"-The September Issue

The fall season is just like Christmas! In less than one month alone there have several major events showcasing the latest fashionable creations by all the designers that we know and love. Fashion's Night Out and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week to name a few, but we will talk about that later.

First, we have my favourite looks from the Emmy Awards and the MTV Video Music Awards:

                                                      2010 Emmy Awards

January Jones took a risk on the red carpet and it paid off! She shined in a bright blue Atelier Versace gown that was reminiscent of mermaid's fin. Claire Danes carried on with the shine trend when she sparkled in a beautiful nude Armani Prive strapless gown and radiated down the red carpet. 

2010 MTV Video Music Awards 

There is something about a simple black dress that just always works whether it looks classic, sophisticated, edgy or sexy there is something about black that is just right. Ciara is glowing in a delicate black feathered skirt with fitted lace bodice by Givenchy. This look is not one that you see everyday but it sure does looks right. Emma Stone is wearing a fitted and rusched black leather minidress with tiny purple clutch purse. I just love the how this dress is simple yet sexy all in one. Nothing beats a little black dress.

Until the next red carpet!

Enjoy!

Fashion and Film Hit TIFF

Last year, the Toronto International Film Festival had their fashion fill with Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinksky (2009) and this year they have L'Amour Fou (2009), a film about the late Yves Saint Laurent and his relationship with Pierre Berge, art and fashion. His groundbreaking strides in fashion are a sure indication that this film will be another fashion film for the ages. If you are interested in seeing the film, click here for more information.

Amanda's Fashion Spotting.......

On an afternoon stroll yesterday in Yorkville, I saw none other than the Canadian design duo, DSquared! 

Chatting and laughing, they walked down Yorkville Avenue looking chic as ever wearing rolled up jeans, loafers, a crisp white shirt and to-die-for blazers. Boy can these guys dress!

Dean and Dan are in town to accept their Canadian Walk of Fame honour, pay a visit to Ryerson's fashion program and am I sure catch a TIFF movie or two.

What fashionable sightings have you seen?
