If you haven’t seen it yet - The Kit – is Canada’s newest (maybe only?) digital beauty magazine. But it is top-notch, totally professional! All the editors are well-experienced and publish really useful info – but again, it’s all online.

I have to say, although I prefer paper mags, this one is really easy to navigate and it’s interactive – love these summer toes! When you’re on The Kit – just click on your fav polish for shopping info!

Dapper Dudes at Sharp: The Book For Men Spring/ Summer 2011 Launch

Most women feel that men have it easy when it comes to getting dressed. For women the options are endless, while men tend to have it easy – or do they? Those in the fashion world know that menswear holds more than meets the eye, since stand out style can only be accomplished with subtle detail to attract notice carefully balanced so as not to earn the ridicule of other men. Luckily for Canadian men, Sharp Magazine is here to help them muddle through.

While it offers up six issues a year covering topics like style, cars, tech, food and women; bi-annually they release, Sharp: The Book For Men which delves into key fashion for the season and provides a compilation of ‘everything a man needs to know’! In honour of the release for the Spring/ Summer edition of Sharp: The Book For Men, a bash was thrown at Origin Restaurant on King St.

1. True north strong and stylish (Eye Weekly)
Canadian fashion brands are increasingly hedging their bets on homegrown talent, flooding the market with must-have CanCon fashion goods:
“The collaborations are coming, two by two. Canadian fashion brands are hedging bets on homegrown talent, hooking up with designers and stylists to create products with, hopefully, a Gestaltist pay-off. As more and more great collabs hit the shelves, it’s safe to assume the sum at the cash will be greater than the parts.”

The thing I love most about Loulou Magazine – is it’s fashion shopping reality. Market editors must scour endlessly to find accessible places to buy the latest trends.

This month – only $2.99:
• New Spring looks for 2011 – many under $100!
and so much more!

This site is actually quite hilarious – a gorgeous composition of fashion editorial with sometimes ridiculous, always sarcastic descriptive ‘quotes’ that absolutely make fun of fashion. I have no idea who actually publishes the blog, but I must say it’s brilliantly over the top and makes for great down time reading!
