For Him: Nike Air Royal Mid QS Men’s Shoe
Posted by: Septembre on: December 31, 2009
As many frequent J’adore… readers may already know I am a recovered sneaker addict. There was a time in my life when I would wake up early and wait in line for a new release (often spending money I really shouldn’t have spent). I even planned on having my entire wedding party wear a different pair of Air Jordans.
Then one day I outgrew them.
The vibrant colourways, loud materials and over-casualness of running shoes didn’t seem to fit in with the new me.
Well, it seem I have greatly underestimated the sneaker game because Nike has released a very grownup pair of running shoes.
The Nike Air Mid QS in deep burgundy is a sleek running shoe in a very mature colourway with a non-flashy perforated Swoosh. A cross between a sneaker and a boot these running shoes are off-duty chic (and are also available in black). To purchase visit Nike.com.
Ja’dore…

New Year’s Fashion Resolutions
Posted by: Septembre on: December 31, 2009
Each year I make two sets of New Year’s Resolutions: a general list of resolutions, that include things like exercising more or making the Dean’s List, and a list of fashion resolutions.
Last year on my fashion resolutions list were things like incorporate voluminous clothes into my wardrobe, wear more prints, read more fashion books and take more fashion chances.
This year I hope to continue with last year’s resolutions and add a few new ones too. So without further adieu here is my 2010 New Year’s Fashion Resolutions List:
1. Master wearing high heels. I am a wimp. I only wear heels when I go to clubs and fashion events and I’d like to wear them to school or my upcoming internship. I’m going to start with 2-inchers and work my way up.
Carlie Wong Spring/Summer 2010
2. Attend more Toronto Fashion Week shows. When it comes to the Toronto fashion scene I am a bit of a newbie. While I have attended quite a few fashion events and some runway shows (Greta Constantine and Carlie Wong, which were both unofficial fashion week shows) I have yet to attend an official show. This upcoming season I’ll be there.
3. Be more creative with my makeup. My makeup regimen is limited to eyeshadow, mascara and sometimes bronzer. False eyelashes, lipstick, foundation, eyeliner and all those other makeup wonders are quite foreign to me. This year I’d like to experiment more with makeup and maybe even take a cosmetology class.
What are your New Year’s fashion resolutions?

Jewellery Designer Eddie Borgo Mixes It Up
Posted by: Septembre on: December 31, 2009
I don’t remember exactly how I discovered jewellery designer Eddie Borgo but I’m so glad I did.
His designs are a lesson in paradox and he combines post-punk with geometry and precious metals with petrified wood for a “potent mix of high end and street.”
Clockwise from top left: hinged plate ring, 4 layer gemstone cone bracelet, metal cone ring and plate collar.
The up and coming jewellery designer has collaborated with such designers as Phillip Lim, Altuzarra and Marchesa and has seen his work in magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, Love, Vogue including UK, US, Nippon, Italy and Paris editions, just to name a few.
Clockwise from top left: chainmail collar, petrified wood spikes, gemstone cone bracelets and star cuff.
J’adore…

I love the movement in this photo and how it highlights the volume and languid lines of Alber Elbaz’s designs.

For Him: Dior Homme Lace-up Ankle Sneakers
Posted by: Septembre on: December 30, 2009
I don’t normally give men’s fashion a lot of attention on this blog (sorry guys) so before the year is out I present to you the Dior Homme brushed glossy Suede ankle sneakers.
They are a nice, uber-stylish grown-up sneaker. I love the laces and the zipper going up the back of the sneaker.

After the glowing success of her first showing as creative consultant at Ungaro Lindsay Lohan has decided to expand her leggings line 6126 into a full clothing line.

In Spring 2011 the line will expand to include cosmetics, handbags, shoes and jewelry.
Based on the sketches the line does not look horrible. Will you buy a piece from Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming line?

Greta Constantine Introduces Their Blog “The House of Constantine”
Posted by: Septembre on: December 28, 2009
I get a little excited when fashion personalities – designers, models, writers, EICs and the beautiful people who wear their designs – get involved with social media.
The appearance of an official Twitter account (follow me @SeptembreA and the blog @JadoreFashBlog) or blog elicits a little squeal of glee. So imagine my joy when Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong, the designers behind Greta Constantine and Ezra Constantine, started their own blog.
Called the House of Constantine the blog offers fans of the designers a peak inside their worlds. Enjoy!

One Size Fits All: V Magazines Plus-Size Issue
Posted by: Septembre on: December 28, 2009
Last week photos from V Magazine’s upcoming plus-sized issue hit the internet. The photos feature models Jacquelyn Jablonski and Crystal Renn, who were shot by photographer Terry Richardson, in what appears to be a pose off.
I wonder if they meant for the spread to look like Fat Girl vs. Skinny Girl? Either way I kinda, really like the images.
