Fashion Friday-Celebrate Earth's last Halloween in Relevance

Boo! Scared ya, didn't we?!

Halloween has arrived, almost.

But Halloween parties have definitely arrived!

Toss your witches hat aside

and

Ditch the ghost costume!

We've got some costumes for you this weekend!

Snow White and the Huntsmen may not have been the 

hit motion picture of 2012 however

 the costume eye candy had us swooning!

Evil Queen Ravenna is sure

to inspire costumes this Halloween!

Teen novel sensation turned movie, The Hunger Games,

wouldn't have offered recognizable costumes

had it not been for Effie Trinket, who's

sick idea of entertainment, is children 

slaughtering one another

A totally relevant costume for 2012...

Gotye's 'Somebody I used to know' went viral this year!

A catchy little diddy that inspired other musicians

to develop their own rendition

(Walk off the Earth's rendition went more viral than the original)

We aren't inspired by the song per say, but the

body painting in the video inspired us!

A costume for the nudist couple

Easy and inexpensive, this costume just calls for the brave!

There are bound to be multiple handfuls of

Avengers characters hitting the streets and parties

on Saturday. 

Don't fight it, join in!

Dress as your favorite Marvel Superhero.

Gentlemen, ladies have a hard time turning down a handsome super hero

that could save her cuddly kitty from a burning building

And Ladies, the majority of gentlemen out there

swoon over a girl who can identify with a comic book character

Everyone wins!

December 21 is only 55 days away

and according to the Mayan calendar

that's doomsday for all of us.

So why not pay homage to the Mayans by celebrating your

 'last Halloween on earth' dressed as a

Day of the Dead skull?

...Or as the new school kids know it as,

Sugar Skulls...

And you know, if all else fails, 

America's pageant phenomenon,

Honey Boo Boo, is always an option!

Happy Halloween fashion ghouls

Have a great weekend and play safe!

Much Love From,

Dolce and Gabbana

In Baroque sculpture, groups of figures assumed new importance.

There was dynamic movement and energy of human forms.

A far cry from traditional sculptures pre-baroque

St.Theresa of Avila in ecstasy by Gian Lorenzo Bernini

Baroque music is described as overly ornamented and exaggerated

Considered a baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach

When architects were bored with the customary construction,

they strayed into baroque territory.

A statement of wealth and power, the Catholic church ate

baroque architecture up!

St.Paul's Cathedral

In fashion today, Baroque style denotes fabrics such as tapestry,

brocades, velvets, silks, and plenty of gold embellishments!

Baroque exudes style, confidence and a sense of regality

Add a piece of history to your wardrobe

Jump on the Baroque trend!

Hope you learned something new this Tuesday!

Fashion Friday- Staple Sweaters and an Iconic Coat

Sweaters are staple items, year round, amongst all Canadians

Corrupt and Data sweaters available on Nastygal.com

Chunky knit, cheeky designs, navajo print, angora and more,

We're seeing it all this season and

we're giddy with glee

(And happy for warmth)

Designer Lyn Devon went white on white with her

super soft angora sweater

Michael Kors offers a hunts(wo)man inspired

blanket coat- for him and her

Worn with a pair of shorts, boots and wool socks

you'll be dressed to kill!

Navajo textiles have been sought after as trade items for over 150 years

Praise the fashion gods for recognizing that this 

print should be worn

The vintage navajo beauty seen above is currently on auction at Ebay

Current bid, $20.50...Start bidding

We already have!

Remember snuggling up by the fire, watching 

The Wonderful World of Walt Disney

wrapped in a cozy Hudson Bay blanket?

These blankets were staples among many families,

passed down for generations to be enjoyed by all.

Back in 2009, the iconic company recognized the nation wide love for

their blankets and made limited edition

blanket coats

As there were limited quantities produced of this

classic coat, keep your eyes peeled at vintage stores,

consignment boutiques and on the web;

maybe someone will miss seeing the potential

of this wool and give it up!

*Fingers Crossed*

In the mean time, get one for the him in your life

Handsome!

Happy Friday Fashion Folk!

Have a  wonderful weekend,

  check back on Tuesday to learn a thing or two

Fashion Friday- Fancy Feet

Fashion trumps function

...Unless you live where we do!

Our winters are unpredictable and when

temperatures plummet to-30°c

fashion is the last thing on our minds

Until now!

For those sloppy days, trudging through melted snow,

salted roads and downtown grime

Grab your rubber galoshes and stomp

through all the puddles and muck

worry free and fancy footed!

Cold, crisp days call for warm toes

Fur, sans animal included, is not only

chic, but pragmatic too!

Once inside the office, the real fun can start!

Strip your tootsies and

slip into something a little more mod

Floral tapestry is BANG-ON trend this season!

Unsure of how to wear them...?

Here's an idea

If flowers aren't your thing, no worries

Jeffrey Campbell thought of that

and created the cult-fave

Lita boot in canine and feline print

Footwear options are endless

Sky-high heels, thigh high brogans, classic oxfords or cutesie flats

Whatever you choose, make sure to make a statement!

Happy Friday Fancy Feet Fashionistas!

Much Love From,

Artists Within 'footwear fanatics'
