1, 2 or 3 at Credo

Last night I had the opportunity to stop by the grand opening of an exclusive shirt brand out of Spain called Credo, as they unlocked their doors to the shirt savvy public.

Credo's Canadian guru of style Rio, chose the second floor at 114 Cumberland Avenue in Toronto's prestigious Yorkville neighborhood, as the perfect backdrop to launch their first shop ever seen outside of its Spanish roots.

What's neat about this shop is, they custom fit shirts for men, but also for women too! Offering an array of shoes and accessories to satisfy both sexes paired with the staffs expert advice on how to properly shop for a well tailored button up shirt. You can't go wrong!!

What sets these guys apart from other shirt makers? Well they are the first I've seen introduce a multi collared shirt, yes you read that right! Now available in a one collar, two collar and three collar as you can see from the photo attachments. So if you're a fan of getting a little attention, these rare finds are just what your closet is looking for.

On a final note, you should all keep this in mind, all shirts, shoes, belts and ties come in one of each size, and that's it!! This is not the shop for the "I wanna think about it" shopper, take it while you can, cause something this unique is gonna be gonna faster than you can say Visa! Or American Express!

Much love <3

Giving The Gift Of Style

Well, I'm sure that I am not the only person freaking out about "Who? to buy What? for" this holiday season.... Not to worry, I am here to help!

First on my list is a product created by Melanie Cruickshank of Dalish Cosmetics, a Canadian home grown business that works with all natural products, and is completely animal cruelty free!

When first introduced to this brand, and like many others out there, the first question that comes to mind is.... is this gonna be any good??? Now I have worked with my share of different cosmetics and none have been able to deliver what Dalish does.

Now you can fit your full brigade of make up in one little purse, and be able to touch up not just yourself, but all your besties too!

Dalish also suits a large range of different skin tones, from your fairest skin to your darker tones as well. If you have not tried this amazing product, do it!!! Grab your girls, have a couple glasses of wine, and try this astonishing product. It's ability to cover the skin leaving a flawless finish that is picture perfect.

The above shown kit usually retails for around $70.00 but makes for the perfect gift for your Mom, sister and girlfriend. Like I said kids, worth every penny!!!! Dalish offers quite an array of products, so be sure to visit their site www.dalishcosmetics.com for more information.

Next up is booking a Closet Correction service.... What's that? you ask.
A Closet Correction is a service provided only by Elad, where they come to your home at your convenience to sort through your closet, filtering out the keepers and donating things that really aren't contributing to you looking your best.

They then go through all the remaining clothing in your newly organized closet and start making as many outfits as possible. Utilizing all the amazing pieces you have in your collection, giving you or the person you are buying this service for, a fresh perspective on what they may have considered to be a tired closet. These amazing new outfits are then photographed for the client, and posted in their very own online closet. (To the right you can see an example of this service)

Elad does offer a wide variety of packages for all its services available on their website www.elad.ca inquiries and bookings should be mailed to closetcorrection@elad.ca and is available for both men and women.

Recap so far... we have talked about make up, we have talked about closet organization and the rebuilding of new outfits from current collections, now we need to talk hand bags, and this one also applies to both men and women, because in today's world, we all have a ton of things to carry, while others just want something cute to throw on their shoulder to finish off their look.

Well look no further then 442 McAdam. From designer Sarah Shell a Canadian that spent several years studying in New York before she honed in on her love of bag making.

Now 442 McAdam has developed quite a celebrity following with people like Fefe Dobson, Leighton Meester and Taylor Swift coveting these deliciously beautiful pieces of arm candy. Make this an OMG! gift, as the receiver will be most joyful she gets to add one of these amazing top quality bags to her closet. (Shown here is my top fave, the "Hobette")

Guys don't worry we haven't forgotten about you, with the introduction of 442 McAdam's men's bag called "Mr Bag" a drool worthy messenger that will make every man tempted enough to steal it from your locker at the gym. This is a must have for all those trend setting guys out there. Metro status not required ;)

All 442 bags are made in Canada from top grain leathers and Italian pig skins adorned with vintage detailing and finished with the synonymous 442 McAdam metal plate. Pricing for these bags range from $225.00 - $490.00 and will most certainly put you on the "BEST GIFT EVER" list!!

So there you have it, my suggestions on what to get those special people in your lives, and to help spread love, peace and fashion this holiday season!

Much love <3

Nine West Spring Preview

Tonight Veronica and I teamed up yet again, and headed to the Acadian Court to take in the must haves coming in from Nine West this season, and let me just tell you, there were quite a few dropped jaws from other bloggers and stylists for the collection on display this evening.

There was as strong feeling of natural elements throughout the whole collection, from colour, texture and design, this collection of affordable foot wear is going to be on the top of many women's must have list for the upcoming seasons ahead.

Its funny, it's true what they say, you learn something new everyday, and tonight I found out about the history of the "City Sandal" a shoe that found itself in the busy streets of New York. With all the women running up and down Fifth Ave in their super thin designer heels, and the amount of times shoes got ruined as they walked over subway grates was so infuriating to women everywhere, and so the "The City Sandal" was born. A chunky heeled shoe that offers the same lines and structure their as thinner counter parts, giving women back their confidence as they approached these heel swallowing voids. Hooray for the "City Sandal"!!!!

Now on with the shoes!!!! So first up is the natural cork wedge sandal with roping detail around the top outer part of the sole bed, done in a neutral palette of vintage luggage brown, a colour that will mix with anything and everything, capri's, maxi dresses and skinny denims, this is a shoe that will take you from day to night like none other. If you're looking for what I call the "Front Door Shoe" one that you leave by the door and throw on with everything... you need these!!

Next on the hot list, is the total resurgence of animal print! Which by far is one of my favorite patterns out there. It offers the simplest outfit some pop and sizzle, without trying to compete for total attention. One thing is for sure...when this pattern is paired with reds, oranges and the spring collections toned down neutrals, they will deliver confidence and flavor to all wearers.

Cut outs, perforations and eye catching lines are making themselves known! Wanting all the attention they can get, these are a shoe that become the star of your outfit. Available in a variety of colours and finishes, to satisfy your love of attention. I'm in love with the pink and taupe cut outs shown in the picture to the left, but if your style is to be a bit subtle, but still want to have the appeal the lines of these shoes create, you can also find them in black and tans. Loves it!


Last but not least, every girl deserves a little sparkle in her wardrobe, and there is plenty coming your way. Not to worry for all the women out there that don't want the height, these reflective delights are available in many different levels from completely flat to reaching all the way up to the high heavens. I've even seen vertical stacked heels with open toes, touched with light dusting's of shimmer, a magical combination. Again easily transferred from day to night with the greatest of ease. I'm already starting to picture adorable summer dresses mated with the little darlings.

Girls you are so lucky, yes you pay more for the hair dresser, and yes you have to wait longer in lines for the bathroom then most men, but look at what you get to wear... I'm a wee bit jealous, but will live vicariously through my clients that get to call them their own.

Thanks for reading!

Much love <3

Dane Hartsell, Fefe Dobson & Cee-Lo All In One Night!!!

Last night was epic... so much so I am still recovering as we speak. Our tour across the city started last night at Mod Club on College Street, where my good friend Krystal invited me out to the CD release for Fefe Dobson, and to see the opening singer Dane Hartsell. All dressed up and camera in hand, it's time to get out and cover this amazing event.

Upon arrival we are greeted, stamped and let in (by we I mean my good friend and fellow blogger Carrie Stephens and myself). Before I could start taking any pictures, I had to find Krystal to say hello, and thank for inviting us out!

With our attentions now turning to the stage, Dane and his all girl band came out to start their set. The music was totally dance worthy as the rock vibe began to fill the the club. You could see everyone in the audience totally caught up in their energy.

And if you're a rock music lover like I am, one thing is almost always certain; rock star quality, guitars, vocal talent and the cutest bum's in the world are almost a requirement before any male can hit the spotlight. And well, congrats to Dane for possessing all of those qualities. I look forward to your next showcase!

As Dane closes out his show, the club then starts setting up for our headliner, one Ms Fefe Dobson, as she is celebrating the launch of her new cd entitled "Joy" which I picked up a copy of at the venue. So excited to check out what Fefe has in store on the newly out today CD.



The moment Fefe hit the stage, the crown went insane, totally looking hot in a pair of Eel skin black leggins with ankle zipper detail, a studded black cami and pair of kick ass black leather wedges. She looked smokin hot!!!!

Fefe ended up doing a full set, with a mix of new tracks from her new album and some well know classics from previous albums, which totally pleased her fans that came out to see her show last night.

This being the first time I saw her live in concert, I was super impressed with her stage prescence, her unbelievable voice and her obvious love for what she does, you couldn't help but fall in love with her. My favorite part is when she busted out the acoustic guitar and sang "Joy" her title song of Fefe's new cd.

Now leaving Mod Club, and on the way home to change in to my second outfit of the night, and to crack open a bottle of wine with my good friends Carrie Stephens and Sasha Simler (Sasha btw, is a brilliant make up artist) before we head to the Cee-Lo private party at Prive in Yorkville, with the one and only Tika Simone.

As we get to the door, the cute bouncer guy Silvio was there to greet us. As we walked up to him, he said sorry guys its gonna be a few minutes before I can let you in, as the club was already at capacity, as he eyed to us the cops just a few steps away were watching the place. Silvio then asked, by the way this is a private event... to which I followed up with "Fuck You" (just so you all know, this was the actual password we needed to get in to the party last night) laughingly Silvio said, "Wow, your a natural with delivering that phrase" to which I said, its not the first time I've had to use it, but definitely a first time I had to use it as a way in to a place in high end Yorkville.

Making our way to the bar, to fill our empty hands with liquid libations before we do a circle around the club to find our friends in the crowd. Almost as soon as we turned around with our drinks we bumped right into Tika. This girl is way cool and just too much fun to be around. Anywhere she says there is something to be seen or to go to... I am a yes always! Its good to prepare yourself for the long haul, as these parties carry on until the wee hours of the A.M.

Not moments later do we see Fefe Dobson, Shane West and Tika Simone hanging out in the back area of the place, followed up by the man of the night Cee-Lo himself comes in. Everyone is super pumped as this talented powerhouse takes to his booth just inches from the Dj booth while Dj Lisa Monet is spinning some sick beats.

Reaching my limit of cocktails for the night and before my hot mess status became apparent, I made my way around the room to say goodnight to all my friends before hailing a taxi home.

Now safely home, I filled up my glass of water several times before finally making my way to bed. Good night all!!

Much love <3

CHIVAS REGAL AND SHANU & KARIM PRESENT THE BLACK AFFAIR IN HONOUR OF STREEKIDS INTERNATIONAL - HOSTED BY VERONICA CHAIL

Well kids, the moment you have been waiting for has arrived.... What did Veronica wear?? As you can see in the picture to the left, this gorgeous little black number came from Brazen Hussy all thanks to my good friend Kiki. As mentioned before, when we saw this dress we knew it was the one! This little satin number hit Veronica in all the right places to really emphasize the beautiful curves of her gorgeous figure.

On Veronica's feet is a stunning pair of satin pleated gold and black pumps courtesy of Nine West to which I owe a huge shout out to Rebecca Nettleton, for hooking us up! These really brought the outfit to life, offering an elegant rocker twist to a clean sophisticated style.

Over the course of putting this outfit together, Veronica and I realized that we needed a belt to bring a little more attention to her tiny waist line, so the hunt began. Quickly realizing what we were looking for was not readily available to us, we opted to have one made. So its off to the fabric store for me!

Less than 24 hours before the event, I searched high and low to find the perfect satin that would naturally fit in the with the satin of the dress... needless to say, this wasn't my easiest task.

With fabric in my hand, I hopped on the subway and headed back to my place to bust out the sewing machine to start making this Obi inspired waist belt. Taking only an hour to make, it was ready to be dropped of to Veronica the next afternoon at Caprice salon in Yorkville. With a kiss, a hug and a so happy bounce, we knew she was gonna rock this outfit!

As the night rolled on during the event, I would get occasional messages from Veronica over BBM (one of my biggest addictions) saying how she was getting amazing responses to her style for the night, some of the photographers asked her to pause and do mini photo shoots on her way down the red carpet... needless to say this fashion stylist was a super happy camper!!!

Once again a huge thank you goes out to our sponsors for this event. Brazen Hussy, Nine West and Caprice Salon. With out you guys, we would not have looked so hot! XO

Much Love <3

Nine West, We Need Shoes!!!

As many of you know from following my blog this past week, that I am getting Veronica Chail ready for her big event at Liberty Grand this Friday (which I guess, is now today!).

With our Brazen Hussy (www.brazenhussy.ca) on our back and Nine West (www.ninewest.ca) on our feet, Veronica is ready to take on the world in style.

In preparation for finishing touches, I made a quick stop at a local fabric store, running down the stairs, I turned to the closest associate and said "I need material for a belt... Where is the??) **Spoiler Alert** Have to wait for the event pictures before the outfits details are revealed ;)

While at the fabric store, I stocked up on needles and thread as well. And a good thing too! Got home and busted out my vintage Janome sewing machine, that is most certainly older than I am... for sure! While threading the machine, just as I was about to feed the thread through the needle, I noticed my needle had been broken :( Good thing I planned ahead on this one! Cause, I got it done!

Btw, favorite part about sewing is... Making the bobbins lol.

With the cutting, sewing and steaming done, I am so ready for tomorrows walk down the red carpet. So excited :D

Well kids its getting late, so I will say goodnight by leaving you an image of some seriously cute foot candy from Nine West, let me know which is your favorite??

Much Love <3

The Dress Has Been Found!!!

Our quest for the perfect dress has ended! Our scheduled stop in at the Brazen Hussy (www.brazenhussy.ca) showroom (located at 803 Queen Street W) was simply magical.

Not even in the door for a minute and we had already eyed "The One". As we waited for Kiki (Kathleen Pedro) to make her way out of what she calls "The Sweat Shop" Veronica and I started digging in.

Not even moments later Kiki came out, and not empty handed, she was carrying several different types of sultry, silky and sparkly dresses for us to look at. Let the show begin!

With introductions wrapped, we loaded up a fitting room and began trying on everything! As suspected, the first dress we picked out was mind blowingly amazing, so much so, that any other dresses we tried on during this journey vanished from memory.

Now that the dress is sorted, out next stop is shoes! Tomorrow afternoon we are off to Nine West (www.ninewest.ca)to pick out some shoes for our most amazing, Veronica Chail. Loves her ;)

Much love <3

My Day With Veronica Chail

The countdown has begun to find the perfect dress for Veronica to wear to an exclusive event she is hosting this Friday called "Chiva's Regal and Shanu & Karim Present The Black Affair" November 19th 2010 at Liberty Grand.

With being less then a week away from her stroll down the red carpet, I set up appointments with some of Canada's best design talent to helps us get ready for this media covered party.

Our first stop today was a visit with Nada ( nadadesigns.com ). Arriving at her showroom at 4PM, we are greeted by the designer herself and Laura (the girl that's helping us arrange the pull from the showroom) and we were quickly instructed to dig in to the enormous amount of racks in the showroom, housing some of the most amazing pieces from her collection. Let's just say I drooled most of the way through it!

Finally selecting eight different dresses, we headed to the fitting room to see how our choices looked on Veronica.

The first is a beautiful above knee jersey dress with a soft embellished round neck line, which looked impeccable on her, especially once we asked the showroom for a piece of black satin that I quickly whipped into a ruffled japanese obi belt, which brought this number to life. We bounced we squealed, and moved on to try the other pieces we had selected.

Now I'd like to tell you about each of the dresses we saw today, but there is only so much work my thumbs can do pounding the keys of my blackberry lol, but I will offer a few more prime descriptions of some of the other breath taking pieces Veronica tried on.

Because Veronica wanted a style that was very Alexander McQueen, she slipped in to two adventurous styles, to get her used to wearing statement making clothing.

The loudest dress we tried on was a gorgeous raccoon fur dress in a luscious fuchsia colour with precise grommets placed around the lower trim of the dress. Pretty, but overwhelming to our beautiful host.

Next up, was a gold hand sewn metal circles cocktail dress. The metal circles was an unbelievable option for the gala event, the only downside is that, the metallic circles (which resembled a musical instrument that any music lover would know, the symbol). Now imagine hundreds of little symbols clanging together as you move in the dress, now imagine holding a microphone to do interviews... Way to much sound!!! Even just in the showroom you could hear the clang at the opposite end, so as much as we would loved to have worn this, the noise factor pushed it into the eliminated section of our rolling rack. Stunning piece tho!

Needless to say, we found our number one dress with Nada today, but we still have several appointments to make our way through before making our final decision on what she will wear.

Of course these details will not be hitting my blog til the night of the event.

Stay tuned!

Much love <3

On Set With Uncharted Sound and rising star Diego Gomes!

As promised, here I am to tell you about todays adventure in style!

The morning started with Dora Bloom (Assisting Stylist) and I going through all the accessories we had collected for todays project. Reaching out to some of the best in the biz for kids trend wear, Devlish Angelz (located in Yorkville). Its was a lot of their stuff that brought the rock star out in this humble performer.

As usual there was no way this day was going to start without my Starbucks latte and Chocolate Chip Cookie, for those of you that know me personally, you know this is my must have before starting any day for me.

Loaded arm to arm with accessories and lattes, Dora and I proceeded our walk through Liberty Village in search of a neon sign (which by the way is only neon at night lmao... Love you Lisa) to begin our set up for this afternoons project.

With everything in order, all we had left to do is wait for the little guy to arrive. As soon as Diego walked in, he introduced himself to everyone on location, talk about a budding professional. Yay Diego!

Dying to bring him over to the wall of accessories, and after hearing of his love for scarves and glasses. We loaded the set up with as much as we could of each so he could have just as much fun as Dora I had setting it up.

Now that all the outfits are approved, we move in to hair and make up, as Malakia (Art Director), Markus (photographer) Dora and I walk through the building to see where we are gonna shoot this thing. After finding two locations and also the option to shoot in studio, we were set for set :)

By far my top pieces were the Scotch Shrunk "Guitar Print" hoodie, the Ben Sherman wind breaker and the Geox herring bone hodded blazer, this kid looked impeccable! One thing is for sure, when we are called on again to dress up Diego, my first stop will definitely be Devlish Angelz <3

We all had an unbelievable afternoon, and are so looking forward to seeing the final product!

Once again, kick ass job team!

Much love <3

Today I meet with Devilsh Angelz

As my day beings and all the errands are nearing completion, I have to admit the highlight of my day will stopping by Devlish Angelz in Yorkville to meet the owner Jacqueline and collect some cool stuff for my shoot with rising star Diego Gomes (Winner of YTV's "The Next Star") on Sunday.

Admittedly I have not done much styling for kids in the past, most of my career has been focused on the trend and style development of my adult clientele, this is certainly going to be a new challenge to be added to my styling portfolio.

Since this store opened in Summer of 2010, they have quickly become the "must go to" store for all things hot in kid trends, carrying labels from Ben Sherman, True Religion, Miss Sixty, Rock and Republic and Converse just to name a few. So if you think your kid is the next Rihanna, Britney or Bieber, this is definitely the place to boost your childs look to the next level, and create the air of star power they need to get noticed in the challenging world of the music industry.

This emporium of junior style caters from 0-16 years of age... so get in and check them out!!!

Much love <3

Well Guys

Here I am in the heart of Chinatown about to sit down with Calvin of Chud Films!

Though I have to admit the most challenging part about today is... What do I wear??

Finally settling on a dark wash pair of skinny denims, a lilac coloured dress shirt, a vintage Yves Saint Laurent brown, gold and teal wide striped tie, layered with a vintage waistcoat in charcoal grey, and a steel blue Andrew Buckler cable knit sweater.

For outerwear I went with a black leather jacket from Rudsak and blanket scarf from Scotch & Soda in royal purple, which is wrapped several times around my neck.

Finished of with a pair of Prada sunglasses and a cognac pair of Fly London boots. Have to say, I'm pretty happy about this look!

On the way here I got an invite to a Smirnoff Event here in Toronto on November 27th. What's super exciting about this party is the list of performers expected to hit the stage:
DRAGONETTE
ISIS (from Thunderheist)JALEBEE CARTELSHAA'IR + FUNC
Talk about a line up of superb sets!

You can definitely look forward to my coverage of this event! Luckily I have time to piece together some spectacular to wear :)

Well peeps, heading in to the meeting, write soon!

Do what makes YOU Happy!

Well kids in the recent weeks, I had made the decision to leave my full time job in pursuit of my own business... Knowing I was taking a huge risk to do so, naturally I was nervous about the transition. Not even one week later and I already feel like I couldn't have made a better decision.

Being in the fashion industry for as long as I have, has definitely taught me quite a bit about the industry, but somewhere along the way I found me!

Now working as a personal stylist and closet corrector, I will be keeping you up to date on what I'm up to and how my career develops, as I know how challenging it can be to make it in this biz, but also think its important to share these experience with you as things begin to take shape.

For those of you addicted to social networking, please feel free to follow my instant updates on Twitter @dalehodderelad cause you'll never know who I might bump in to, and may not have time to blog about everything that happens in the day.

Remember kids, love yourself, love your life and do only what you love, and all that is good will follow.

Much love <3

Christine Atkinson Looking AMAZING!!!

Hey Readers,

After being contacted by Christine to take on a project this Sunday with a new recording artist by the name of Diego Gomes (Winner of The Next Star) I decided to do a little research in to the artist himself as well as the work of my good friend and host of UnchartedSoundLive.com the lovely Ms. Atkinson.

Kicking back to check out the USC live footage shot at Canada's Wonderland ( http://www.unchartedsounds.com/ucslive.php ) I realized she was wearing one of the dresses I had picked out for her....Damn she looked fantastic wearing a really cute knitted mod zigzag printed dress we found at fashion haven Balisi (www.balisi.com) which offers four accessible locations through out the city to feed even the most fashion hungry person out there... and yes they are well equipped to handle both men and women from shoes, accessories, handbags and did I mention shoes!!!!

After all the research I am ready to take on this project with my styling assistant Dora Bloom, and look forward to see where these two rising stars careers take them.... One thing is for sure, I will be right there for all their style needs!

Congrats to both of you!

D

OMG it's the PYA Sample Sale

Well everyone... that wasn't so long!!! My girl in the know Ashely MacIntyre just dropped this shoppers bomb on me..... the PYA Sample Sale has arrived!!!

Now as a personal stylist and closet corrector, if you are looking to maximize your shopping dollars, or are just like me and have a total addiction to shopping (why I turned it into a job) this is for you.

Things are pretty much being given away.. I have never seen such high quality stuff go for so little.... and usually use this as an opportunity to add a high end stocking stuffers to my families gifts for the holidays.... but between you and me, you could buy items as gifts and they will think you spent a fortune on them... but it will be our little secret :)

Also its reccommened that you go several times during the week of the sale, cause they are constantly bringing new stuff on the floor.... and you could miss out on a little bit of magic!

As many of you know, from previous sample sales, we all think.... nothing will fit me, what's the point of going? Well this is one of the few samples sales that actually offer full size ranges.... and yes I said that correctly.... FULL SIZE RANGES!!!!

Grab your bestie and your bag and meet me at the sale!

Much love ALL!

Well Ladies and Gents

My world just got a little more connected... Thanks to my good friend Christine Atkinson for informing me to edit my permissions on my blog, so you my lovelies can comment.

In this quest to figure this comments issue out, I stumbled upon the "post by email" function, which btw is AWESOME! If its one thing I don't enjoy its being chained to a desk, so this mobile lifestyle fits perfectly in to my pocket. Woot woot!

Look forward to more amazing posts to come, as I meet with the next Justin Beiber on Sunday, winner of The Next Star hosted by Adamo Ruggiero named Diego Gomes. Check out his video on Youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_eKvrwpApc&feature=related called My Best Friends Girl!

Remember peeps comment and subscribe, so you can be the first to know what's happen in the style world ;)

Lates!
