Summer Style

I don't know what it is (maybe being female?), but I'm getting bored of my wardrobe. I decided to change it up a bit this summer.

I thought I'd look for some summer staples that I could invest in and make them work.
Of course I choose my style tips from pictures of Rihanna, but who could resist?



I'll be trying out these cuff shorts, and this cropped shirt. I am still debating about the hat.


Love the loose fit linen, and this simple look will be easy to pull off.


Katy Perry may be a bit vibrant some times, but I think that's why we love her! And so, I must bring some more tight and bright into my life this summer.

Store Spotting: Lavish & Squalor


I promised I'd help you find those little unique shops with a bit more edge and flare for fashion forward females (and males). Well I found one, and it was by accident. I was walking down Queen St. West and I was attracted (of course) by a truly different window display. For whatever reason, I was intrigued and I entered this little shop with dim lighting and cabin appeal.




I saw key trends displayed in unique ways and was immediately greeted (but not pressured) by friendly staff. The prices were reasonable, but a bit above average. In all honesty though I think that the quality of the clothing and overall experience is worth a bit of extra cash.

You should check it out on a free day! I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Earth Day Special


Happy Earth Day Patent Readers!

Today's blog will celebrate this important day when we observe our life choices and try to make a positive change that will help protect our planet (even though we should do this every day).
I know how much we love fashion (trust me!) but sometimes we should maybe consider making "greener" choices.


Here is how
1. Try to buy fabrics such as hemp, bamboo, organic cotton and soy.
(I actually have a pair of bamboo tights and they are so-o-o comfortable!)


**Get these tights at JoyOfSocks.com for $15.00**

2. Buy handmade! Handmade artisan fashion is beautiful, and often one of a kind (so you won't be wearing what she's wearing).

**You can get these handmade shoes at etsy.com, for $18.00**

3. Stella McCartney
(Vegan fashion designer-just putting that out there)

**You can get this dress, but definitely not for $15.00**
Love you Earth,

Amanda

Necessary for Patent Girls

I went through this short stint of selling Avon. Wasn't for me. But it did have some perks, such as a chance to try out their products. I found this lip stain marker that literally stays on for my entire work day and I thought I should show you.
Just so I am not being biased, I also found other brands of this miracle lip colour that you can choose from (and I recommend you do)









Most of these can be found at Sephora.

Flares Are Back!

I didn't think this day would come, but it's here. The skinny jean is losing speed while the flare is gaining. I saw flares everywhere on the runway with Derek Lam saying that they "make legs look like they go on forever", which is perfectly fine with me.

It will be hard for me to re-adjust to this trend, seeing as last time flare jeans were popular I was 12. But I will try!

Here are some examples of this unexpected comeback

The Ultimate Personal Shopper

A friend showed me this website and I thought I'd share. :)

You choose your favourite designers and brands, and then you enter in your size for jeans, tops, dresses, etc.



It finds all of the available items in your size based on the brands you said you were into, and then suggests other items you may like.

Mind you, if you're expecting a deal (sale prices are available), you shouldn't state your favourite luxury brand unless you're just browsing. I did this, and came across a Balenciaga dress for $3000. No thanks!

I hope some of you find this useful!

This is your conscience




This is your conscience is the thought provoking blogg of the year
www.thisisyourconscience.com launched on April 1st 2010, and thus far has created a significant amount of buzz in the city. Its growing fan base is not only drawn to its controversial topics but also because of its simple and honest opinions on issues that affect many communities in our day and age. Smartly titled This is your conscience , each affiliate writer discusses a topic in a short blurb; just like a thought that came to mind. The focus is not solely about preaching a personal opinion, but rather to encourage reader commentary to gather an over-all view on the topic. In other words; opinionated conversation starters. There have been many topics so far that had me wondering how exactly I felt about the issue, and even sometimes topics that aggravated a thought that I had pushed to the back of my mind. This Toronto based blogg is honest and refreshing; two ingredients often missing from bloggs today. So if you haven’t checked it out. Go. Now -This is your conscience speaking-

Who is...? Rachel Roy

Based out of Manhattan, this beautiful young entrepreneur has surprised the fashion world with her sophisticated level of design at such a relatively young age.


She started off her career with an internship at Rocawear, a well known clothing brand. At the time it was a new company, and she proved herself to be an important contributor. She became Creative Director in no time, overseeing all of seven clothing lines that Rocawear offered.


In 2004, she began her own self-titled line.


Since then, celebrities and fashion icons alike have been raving about her. I've seen her designs on Iman, Michelle Obama, Eva Mendes, the Tyra show and even Oprah!

On the Oprah show.

I'm sure she will continue to please and inspire us in the years to come.
