BHM at NYFW. All Black Everything

NYFW has come and gone and while we’re all still sifting through the beautiful collections of designers and dreaming up new additions to our wardrobes, I will be adding additional musing to my mood board. No, not a specific collection or material or cut, but color….BLACK. Yes black as in ‘All Black Everything’ a la Jay-Z, and wearing black in order to help lead a more colourful life. But the most important reason that Black has such a powerful presence to me this month is of course Black History Month.

While yes I am appreciative that we have this month to look towards our past in order to gain perspective for our future. We must never forget, that our history no matter where it might originate from, can in no way be summed up in one month. Read More »

Kristen Stewart Named New Face For Balenciaga Perfume


Kristen Stewart has been named the new face of the yet to be named Balenciaga fragrance! I think it’s a pretty good fit considering it’s a beloved avant-garde fashion house but not too mainstream or commercial to not fit her style and look. Read More »

Mood Board/Trend Report: Slicked Back Sex Appeal

GIORGIO ARMANI S/S 2012

While obsessively looking through the Michael Pitt for Prada photos and the new campaign pics for the Spring/Summer collections something stood out….it seems the short and even long slicked back hairstyle was EVERYWHERE. From Chanel to Gucci S/S 2012 is showcasing a sexy strong hair trend that’s pretty easy to do, but should be saved for those with the face shape and cheekbones to pull it off…aka not me.

Bold Prints & Bright Lights: Vogue Germany January 2012

Monika Sawicka in Vogue Germany January 2012. The prints, fabrics, colors and lighting make me feel all warm and happy inside! I’m lusting for the mash-up of prints and thick silk cuts featured in this spread, just had to post this great editorial. Thought I’d also add my own version of how to make these looks a bit more street friendly (yes I have finally caught on to Polyvore), even if my New Year’s resolution is to dance like no one’s watching (check and mate NYE night) and dress to impress myself and no one else. Enjoy the pics, post & Polyvore! Read More »

Kristen Stewart Rocks J. Mendel for Breaking Dawn LA Premiere


Okay, so tonight is the LA premiere of Breaking Dawn and well, I can’t help but get swept up in all this frenzy and post something about…fashion related of course.
Kristen Stewart graced the black carpet of the premiere in this gorgeous J. Mendel dark blue sequined gown, complete with a sexy thigh-high slit. The color really looks great on her paired with that gorgeous porcelain complexion.

Styled: Rowenta Beauty’s Promo Ads

Blazer: Mulcair. Top: Mulcair. Pants: American Apparel. Jewelry: Links of London. Sunglasses: Vintage

Jacket: Balmain. Top & Belt: American Apparel. Shorts: Les Petits Haut. Shoes: Aldo

Yes I know these photos and post are overdue, but here you go. This summer I had a great opportunity to style a shoot to promote Rowenta’s new Versa Style Iron. The shoot was put together by the great and gorgeous group at 1 Milk 2 Sugars PR. The model the always fabulous Robyn Chalmers from Fashionista514, Hairdresser Master of styling tools Luigi Rosi and shot by the marvelous Maciek Wilkos. The idea of the shoot was to style 3 different looks for her that would match the 3 different settings and hairstyles created by the amazing Versa Style Iron.

I had so much fun styling this shoot, it was a great group of people and the settings were so much fun to work with when selecting the looks for Robyn. We had such great locations, the streets of Old Montreal, W Hotel (the beautiful Wunderbar) and SSENSE Boutique.
I really do love going on a set or location and creating looks that will be photographed and enjoyed by others. It’s such a thrill getting to work with such a great people and doing what I love. I only wish I could do more of this…more looks, more shoots, more story boards to inspire me..more styling!

With every shoot all I can do is grown and learn more about this amazing job and hopefully meet some more amazing people to work with, and who want to work with me. This city is full of so many talented people, fingers crossed they see my work, like it and want to work with me as much as I would LOVE to work with them.
One of my many dreams is of course to one day style for some amazing Canadian Magazines like Elle Canada & Quebec, Fashion Magazine, FLARE (Elizabeth Cabral is my hero) & Clin d’oeil.
The fashion editors at these magazine inspire me on a daily basis, by showing the talent that is in Montreal, Toronto and all over Canada. Here’s hopes that one day I just might be one of the important Fashion Editors, until then I’m working my tush off on freelancing and working my way up to assistant F.E then one day…

Dress: S'NOB. Watch: ToyWatch. Jewelry: Links of London. Shoes: Aldo


Hope you enjoyed the post can’t wait to show you the next shoot I styled. For more information on the clothing used, those involved or booking information for styling feel free to contact me at marieleigh.t@gmail.com.
