Hello Darlings,

With the many runway shows and events at Montreal Fashion Week - followed immediately by the whirlwind Toronto International Film Festival ("TIFF") - keeping up with feeling and looking fabulous has been a real challenge! Part of what's so appealing is not just the films and shows, it's meeting so many interesting people, and of course the glitzy and glamorous parties. From sunrise to sundown, the past two weeks I've had as many as six things to attend daily, so this girl is tired :)

Question: what's a girl to do when time is not on her side? Well, I wast wondering this during the first week and came up with a few tricks that made a difference.

Hello Darlings,

Happy 1st Day of Summer!!! Just a day before my graduation and on the day of my TV shoot — I visited one of my favorite men, Rob Pizzuti of Exit Salon. After a trip to Florida and many sunny days spent outside in Toronto, my hair was showing signs of sun damage. Rob has been my trusted colorist for the past year and he often shares with me latest hair secrets and tricks.

While spending hours in his magic chair, I asked Rob how with sunny days what a girl can do to combat frizz and damage. Here are some of Rob's fabulous tips on what can a girl do to prevent damage or rescue her hair:

Hello Darlings,

With sunny days, all I want is to braid my hair, wear pink and sip mimosas! As every girl knows, staying frizz free and smudge proof in the sun is not an easy task. So why battle nature when it's just easier to embrace than to conquer. And learning and trying new things is part of life's fun, so to love your summer here are some suggestions to wear, to try, and to buy inspirations that are easy breezy!

Retro inspired outfits with feminine touches and delicate details. I am quite curious to try out the bralet and skirt combination.

Hello Darlings,

While flipping through the pages of Flare Magazine's march issue, I came across this pretty editorial by Charlene Higgins and Chris Nicholls. I adore the hair and make-up by Eric Del Monaco and Eddie Malter, and the retro look. How could I not share something as cute and useful as this? Enjoy!
