Event: The Sartorialist x Secret Location

Wednesday, December 5, 2012

Vancouverites, the Mayans must've been right; the end must be near. Why else would fashion's most famous blogger grace us with his presence?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, The Sartorialist was here.

We came, we saw, he signed books (and prints), and was just a delight.

We were discussing how he picked the images for his prints

Aside from how he picked the images that were made into prints (he felt that they all kind of represented places he's visited), we also briefly discussed something, or someone, new to his site...

Last week, my friend Justin tweeted that his "first post" was up on The Sartorialist. Puzzled, I clicked through.

As it turns out, Justin (of Tucked Style) is the newest member of The Sartorialist team as the Men's Fashion Editor. He's crazy, fun, knows his menswear, and is a very talented photographer. I strongly recommend checking out his blog.

Being in Vancouver, I often forget that in other places, particularly in the US, people actually blog for a living. In fact, they not only blog for a living, but in Scott's case, he can gainfully employ others - not just have free interns (that BoF article is extremely interesting, by the way).

But that's a topic for a different post.

The LWD: Little White Dress

Monday, April 23, 2012

If you were in a taxi during NYFW in February, then you would've seen Suze Yalof Schwartz's Spring Must-Haves ad for Lord and Taylor (and be able to recite it word-for-word).

On her list? A Litte White Dress.

If you're in New York, they're perfect for summers in the Hamptons. And if you're everywhere else, they're perfect for long walks on the beach, for being your tennis whites at The Club (aren't you fancy), and for P. Diddy's All White party (is that still a thing?).

Depending on the fabric of the dress and how you accessorize, you can rock them at the office, on date night, and on girl's night. LWDs are classy and sophisticated...even when you're sweating buckets.

Here are my picks for summer:
