Bare vs Bold: Fall Make-Up Trends


With the colder weather creeping in I am once again reminded of the changing seasons, the transition from summer to fall and jeans shorts to leather skirts. Oh but there is another important transition that comes to mind, one equally as important as a girls wardrobe…which way does a girl go with the new fall makeup trends. During the sumemr it was bright bee stung lips vs bare glossy looks, but for fall a new great debate has sprung….Vamp colored lips and bold brows vs Cherry pouts and nude lids. Oh what’s a girl to do….

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.

Happy Halloween From Nicki Minaj

My oh so fun Nicki Minaj costume

So Halloween has come and gone and now we bask in the glory of discounted candy and Christmas lights being put up! I just love Halloween and this year was no different, but I did come to the realization of that xmas song claiming Christmas is for kids from 1-92. If that is in fact true then why can’t that rule apply to Halloween. I just want to go trick or treatin’, I just want to empty my bag at the end of the night and pack them in my lunch for the next day. I just want it all folks, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Well enough for my sugar filled rantings, Happy Halloween & All Saint’s Day.

The handsome ranger & I

The girls on Halloween

Black Corset: La Senza (bought at the La Senza sale yay)
Skirt: H&M
Leggings: Chinese Laundry
Pink Lipstick: Shiseido (it’s amazing)
