as a scarily focused prima ballerina in Black Swan, but we’re currently

A peek into my accessories drawer will reveal that, among other
things, I am truly the queen of procrastinators (and impulse buyers).
When deadlines loom and there are errands to be run, I can often be
found making yet another have-to-have-it
Herve Leger Short Skirtpurchase—and
usually online. In the spirit of sharing my finds, then, from one
fashion lover to another, here are a few western Canada accessories
designers peddling their wares on Etsy . Also known as the most fun
place to find random, pretty things that are well organized and easily
searched, the site is one of my go-tos when it comes to trolling the
Internet for one-of-a-kind bits and baubles—and holiday gifts.
The rumour mill, ever at work, has pushed out another high/low

H&M. [Elle UK]

Let’s be clear about one thing: The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is
not really about fashion. But we knew that, and anyway, it doesn’t
really matter. Not to the hordes of young women that appear out of
nowhere, pink shopping bags in hand, within a 500-metre radius of any of
the lingerie titan’s locations. (There are eleven stores in Canada–four
Victoria’s Secret and seven for their younger Pink line.) Not to the
crowd that piled into the Armory on Lexington Avenue on November 10 to
see the show–a group that included Gerard Butler, Adrien Grenier,
Russell Simmons, Malin Akerman and Paris Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld.
Not to every person who we’ve spoken to in the two weeks since who want
to know how the Angels look up close (gorgeous, obviously), how much
they have to exercise (Adriana Lima tr

will be sold worldwide. Five Canadian stores–Blubird in Vancouver, The

Fashion’s wunderkind Alexander Wang has released images of his Spring
2011 accessories collection and much like his recent ready-to-wear

colour palette.

face is urgently required.
We feel a bit of ballet mania in the air–maybe it’s just our excitement
for Black Swan. In Vancouver, we can feed our obsession at the first
Canadian location of U.S. fitness studio The Bar Method . The studio
features an hour-long workout that mixes Herve Leger SalePilates,
yoga, and ballet, which strengthens core muscles while toning and
elongating isolated muscle groups through held poses and minimal
movement. Fans claim longer, leaner definition and the development of
what the New York Times calls “Bar Butt.” Owner Carolyn Williams’
second-floor space boasts two bright studios, modern wood finishings
with plush cream-colored carpets, and a spa-like changing area equipped
with organic body products. Psst: did we mention Drew Barrymore and
Denise Richards are both fans of The Bar Method? New clients receive a
