Fructis - Evolution of Style II

This french campaign for Fructis haircare recalls pop culture's iconic Female styles. A catchy video. Can you name all of the icons?

Craft: Paper Pendant Lights

Paper is one of my favorite materials to play with. Here, I made paper lamps with push light bars from the dollar store. They can then be hung with string or ribbon to add decorative appeal and ambiance to a space.

Party Dress?

Right now I love navy, and I love velvet. I have a big pile of beautiful navy velvet... if only I had those mice that Cinderella had... Still, maybe I can turn this mess into greatness...stay tuned.

Working the Runway

Once in a blue moon, I shoot the runway. Usually just for friends. It's a little old, but I just wanted to share this runway shot that I've always loved from a local show.

Lamp: Before and after.

An ugly thrift store lamp + a coat of sunny yellow spray paint = a fabulous splash of colour in my living room. I may have fumigated a few friends, but all said and done I'll call it craft night success!

Craft: Butterfly Wreath - inspired by Alexander McQueen

I really wanted to make a butterfly wreath for the holidays and I can't believe I found these red feather butterflies - they look exactly like the ones Alexander McQueen used for his amazing butterfly hair piece. This DIY project was super easy and fun to make.

Craft: Nature-filled Glass Ornaments

This season, the breakfast babes have been crafting all sorts of stylish things with the holidays in mind. These simple terrarium-like ornaments was my project this week. As you can see, I filled them with moss, dried-n-dyed flowers and white feathers. The purple fabric ribbons finish them off nicely while adding an extra punch of color. It reminds me of the Garden Party challenge from Project Runway Season 2. I loved that episode!

Jean-Paul Gaulthier

On my recent trip to Montreal, I managed to visit the reknowned Jean-Paul Gaulthier exhibit at Montreal's Musée des beaux-arts the day before it closed. It was a fantastic show. One of the coolest features of the show were expressive projections on the mannequins faces. If it comes to your neck of the woods, be sure to check it out!

Photographer: Kristian Schuller

Paris-based photographer Kristian Schuller's style is whimsical and dreamy. Breakfast Babe Sophie has a thing for butterflies, so the shot with the butterfly dress is for her.





Testing, testing...

I recently did some model test shoots in Montreal. This one was styled by a friend of the Breakfast Babes, Jean-Paul Corbeil. I really love the golden triangles sweater. I would have taken it for myself if I could.

Sophie's Xmas Party Dress Style Pile


I created this collage at Polyvore.com, inspired by the Charlotte Russe feathered dress I just bought in NYC.
