Comfort Meets Sex Appeal with Proverbial Couture

You know that term "it hurts to be beautiful?” And the painful dilemma that we always go through on a Friday morning; fashionable VS comfortable? Well, CEO and designer, Melody Minagar, has the solution for us with her line; Proverbial Couture.

The 22 year old designer launched her first collection in 2012, for men and women ages 20 to 35. The inspiration behind it is simple; casual sex appeal. "I wanted clothing that made women feel sexy, effortlessly and comfortably. Functional clothing that can take you from Pilates to party," Minagar says. Read more

If you're digging this look that you've seen stars like Alicia Keys and Kelly Rowland wearing - here is your chance to rock it yourself. Read more

DIY: Heels Even your Boyfriend Can Appreciate

DIY Shoes

Read more...

This is an oldie but a goodie - I did a DIY for The Main MTL last year and I still get so many hits on my blog being referred from this article. To my suprise, this DIY is also being pinned all around pinterest. I noticed I never posted it on my new blog and thought I would go ahead and share it with my new readers.

This DIY consists of making a pair of comic book heels. It takes some time and patience, but you'll end up with a kickass pair of heels, which will totally make it worth it. Also, all you need are some comic books, Mod Podge and I used an old pair of shoes i had lying around the house. No doubt, you have a pair too.

Montreal Fashion Week 2012 In Pictures

Fun times last night at day 2 of Montreal Fashion Week. I got to see 3 amazing shows presented by DUY, Denis Gagnon and UNTTLD. DUY was my favourite collection of the night (you can read my review for Indecent Xposure  -> HERE + other show reviews coming all week-long). Unfortunately I was very down to go see Hip & Bone tonight, but I have class. On a side note, Fashion Night Out is happening in Canada for the first time ever, so I'll be catching the excitement in Montreal on St-Paul street. Untill then, here is a photo recap of what went down at Montreal Fashion Week.
