Ron White Kicks Off The Annual Shoe Drive

Tuesday, January 15th, 2013

Ron White is known for his amazing shoe designs, his stunning All Day Heels®collection, that feel as great as they look, and his fabulous boutiques, but he should also be known for his huge heart and his dedication to giving back. Seventeen years ago, Ron started his Annual Shoe Drive, which has since become the largest in Canada. Over the years, many of Ron’s celebrity friends have been there to show their support by donating signed shoes, including international stars such as Celine Dion, Matt Damon, and Kevin Spacey, as well as Canada’s own Jeanne Beker and Ben Mulroney, as well as CITYTV’s Dina Pugliese and Jennifer Valentyne.

Get To Know Vocado!

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013

Kolleen & Emily at Vocado

Downtown Oakville has many fabulous clothing boutiques, but one of my favourites is Vocado. Not only do they have a great selection of clothing, accessories and footwear, as well as the hottest denim selection in town, but it’s the kind of place where the staff immediately make you feel comfortable, and as co-owner Emily says “it’s a warm, friendly environment and we’re proud of it, and customers become our friends and we love that.”

The co-owners of Vocado are long time friends, and met years ago when they both worked at a children’s toy and book store on Lakeshore Road as teenagers. Emily Dobbie and Kolleen Hanna both grew up in Oakville, and they dreamt that one day they would open a fabulous boutique filled with all of their favourite fashions. Now, they actually have two fabulous boutiques, one in Liberty Village in Toronto, and their hometown location in Oakville, just down the street from where they met.

Fashion Trends for the Holidays

Saturday, December 15th, 2012

Old Navy Ruby Collection

Regardless of how you celebrate the holiday season, there is likely at least one party or function that you have to attend, including one or many family dinners, work parties, get-togethers with friends, and of course, New Year’s Eve. The holidays are a time for celebrating, and with that comes dressing up. Here are some of our favourite looks that will make it easy to look your best.

One of the easiest ways to brighten up is to add some sparkle. Even the plainest, most simple outfit can go from the office to a party with the addition of some fabulous accessories. A dramatic, jewelled necklace can turn a basic black sweater into an entirely different look. Pick something bold and chunky, with large crystals in rich, deep colours. The Ruby Collection from the new line of jewellery at Old Navy adds a festive touch to any outfit. Available in select Old Navy locations, the new jewellery selection offers great value and great style! With chandelier earrings, statement necklaces and beaded bangles, starting from under $5.95.

One of our favourite Oakville shopping destinations is Want Boutique on Lakeshore Road. Want carries some of the most gorgeous designer pieces for any special occasion. One of the hottest trends this year is the leather coated skinny jean, and Want has the perfect pair from Rich & Skinny in the most wanted colour of the season, a rich oxblood. Available for $220.95, they are an investment that you’ll love so much you’ll find any excuse to wear them out!

Holiday Beauty Trends

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012

Messy Chignon from Salon Monzer in Oakville

The holiday season is a time for parties and celebrations, and everyone will be looking their best. We sat down with Azi Valli, co-owner with her husband Monzer, of one of Oakville’s premier salons, Salon Monzer, and talked about what the hottest beauty trends are.

Colour this year is deep, rich, and multi-dimensional. Regardless of what your hair length or type is, short or long, straight or curly, colour is one a fabulous way to express yourself. The shades that are all the rage this fall and winter are coppers, warm golds, auburns and even burgundies. Reds and chocolates with depth and shine, and blonde with brandy highlights set the tone.

Azi says the look of the season is romantic. “Looking effortless yet glamourous is the key”. Hair is wavy and loose, with gentle curls, and a very feminine, Hollywood starlet vibe. Chignons are purposely slightly messy and more relaxed, with tendrils left loose. Adding tiny braids throughout the up-do also creates a more textured look and added detail, and is simple yet charming. If you are already wearing large, decorative earrings, or an embellished dress or neckline, a smoother, sleeker up-do will allow your jewellery to stand out.
