hello Toronto, Ottawa and Halifax! Tune in when, and where you can!
Fridays look features the COMRAGS - Poppy Dress, in a beautiful almost COMRAGS color, silk print! This dress is soooo smooth, it is so soft against your skin, its nice and light - perfect for summer weather! The colors are so flattering, I truly could chat endlessly about this look! Paired with the Kat Jacket, in a rumpled linen, it makes for the perfect day to night outfit!
COMRAGS Behind the Scenes video will air tomorrow! Stay tuned!
Today is the last day of COMRAGS week on SS. Canadian label, COMRAGS is a staple to the Canadian fashion industry for over 25 years. Their edgy but classic style fills the wardrobes of women around the world! They just moved their Queen street flag ship store to 812 Dundas street W, this shop is filled to the brim with their Summer 2012 Collection that we saw this week!
Fabrics are the starting point of any Toronto made COMRAGS collection, and you can really feel this because of their extraordinaire choices in textiles. Each season offers new colours, textures and possibilities. COMRAGS is always trying to find easy-care fabrics that will have a long life, mix that with their edgy but classic style - each outfit is truly built to have a long life with its wearer!
Today is the second last day of COMRAGS week! I love this fitted dress in a cream color French stripe. The horizontal stripes make for a figure flattering silhouette that can easily be dressed up or down! Another amazing thing is that COMRAGS mixes this elegant dress with functional style and POCKETS! The slat pockets on the front are nice and deep, so you can actually use them! (while remaining effortlessly chic!)
COMRAGS is sold at several boutiques right across Canada! However if shopping in Toronto visit their flagship boutique! It is filled to the brim with their Spring Summer 2012 collection. New stock arrives every couple of weeks or so but they only ever produce a limited number of each style. To get that unique piece, drop by their Toronto shop as often as you can to see what they have come up with. Their flagship boutique is located a 812 Dundas Street West -Toronto, ON.
Welcome to Wednesday of COMRAGS week on SS. Wednesdays outfit shows us how much fun you can have with separates! These two items can be easily paired with your favourite items in your wardrobe already - Great pair of jeans, or your favourite t shirt! The Stop Shirt is made in a soft floral voile that is so feminine, paired with the Curtain Skirt in a bold blue summer print, truly a great summer outfit!
On day two, we say hello to the Florida dress from COMRAGS Spring 2012 collection. The dress has a silhouette that is figure flattering for so many women. Made in Alabat Cotton, the color blocking on the hem creates colorful eye candy that can be played up further with the perfect pair of lime green shoes! The entire style when wearing, actually feels quite girly however it also has an essence that keeps us feeling uniform.
DAY TWO of COMRAGS week! Like I said yesterday COMRAGS has been around for over 25 years and was founded by two incredibly fashionable women: Joyce Gunhouse and Judy Cornish. Joyce Gunhouse and Judy Cornish first met at Ryerson in the Fashion Arts Programme. Just before graduation they collaborated on a few outfits that they presented with friends in a mini fashion show. Owners of a little independent store, Metropolis, saw the show and invited Joyce and Judy to sell their designs on consignment. As an added bonus they shared a studio with the store for only $25 a month! The business kept building: with the money from the sale of two dresses they would sew and sell four dresses, and so on.
Mondays outfit features a gorgeous, tailored and modern suit from the Spring 2012 collection from COMRAGS. The Lotty Jacket, is so comfortable and could easily be paired with pants, or your favourite trouser jeans for a more casual chic look! However paired together with the Dolce Vita skirt, this look truly makes me want to strut up and down the financial district!!
