Hello Darlings,

Last night I had a chance to check out |FAT| Arts & Fashion Week for the first time. FAT is an annual multi-arts event in Toronto featuring 200 national and international fashion designers, visual artists, bands and performers. It is unlike any fashion event, done in the spirit of gallery or exhibit opening, this avant-garde spectacle is a week long celebration of creativity!

I was there to support Toronto's up-and-coming fashion darling, Rachel Sin and her Fall/Winter 2012 fashion line. As a trained architect, Sin's designs are strong yet feminine. Her work celebrates an independent, want-to-do-it-all woman whose wardrobe is an extension of her confidence, originality and personal style. From tailored office attire to charming dresses, Rachel Sin is a go-to label for a modern, working girl.

Naturally, no girl wants to sacrifice the cuteness factor due to sheer lack of enthusiasm for the hair dryer and mascara. This is when those nifty shortcuts that we learn through experience and harsh reality of womanhood come in handy. Of course, every girl has her own secrets, the kind of knowledge that needs to be shared so as many of us can benefit :)

Hello Darlings,

This week has been filled with exciting and disappointing fashion reports. But that's the thing about fashion, you never know what to expect.

For the past seven months, the fashion insiders have been speculating as to who will fill Galliano's spot at Dior. As most of you have heard, the house of Christian Dior fired John Galliano in March 2011 after his anti-Semitic remarks were caught on camera and went viral. Ever since, it has been a guessing game with Marc Jacobs being the favourite of gossipers. On Monday, Christian Dior made an unexpected announcement stating that their new artistic director is Belgian designer, Raf Simmons.

Hello Darling,

With promising weather forecast of clear skies and double-digit temperatures, I am looking forward to not wearing winter coats while attending the shows.
