Lipstick Lifestyle

Ahhhh, we love the crisp beginning of fall. Leaves turn an array of colours and a whole new season of clothing is upon us. We love shopping for fall essentials, especially new dresses. That’s why we love the Trompe l’Oeil Dress from Rag & Bone. This two-tone jersey frock paired with peep-toe pumps is perfect for the office. Try it with a snakeskin clutch for drinks after work. Its playful crew neck has an illusion of a collar and the royal blue banding adds a touch of whimsy. These key accents add depth to an otherwise classic piece.

Available in sizes 0-8 and 35″ long, this Rag & Bone dress is 100 per cent wool and fully lined.

Add a little luxury to your lingerie wardrobe (yes, every woman should have one) with the Silk Satin Balconette Bra with Lace Trim and the Silk Satin Peep Hole Knicker from Fred & Ginger London. Do not save this set for special occasions – it will never see the light of day if you do. Instead, wear it under a suit for the ultimate feeling of power or layered beneath a classic jeans and t-shirt look for sex appeal that only you know about.

The pretty pink detailing and lace appliqué are visually stunning, but what will wow you are the perfect fit and luxurious materials.

Jean addicts take note, Canadian denim giant Fidelity Denim has collaborated with Rethink Breast Cancer to create the Hyacinth BC “Forever in our Hearts” Jean.

With only 500 pairs to be had, this slimming pant in a deep blue wash is in high demand. The 24-karat gold plated hardware, brushed gold rivets and hot pink detailing add some glamour and a girlie flair to the classic mid-rise cut.

Ten per cent of the proceeds go directly to Rethink Breast Cancer – an innovative charity dedicated to medical research, support and public awareness about the disease.

Feel good about supporting breast cancer and look great by wearing these jeans with killer heels for a look you can take almost anywhere.

The Hbc Signature Think Pink Caribou Throw is a thoughtful gift for any pink lady in your life, or a nice treat for yourself! It will add style to any room, just drape it over your favourite chair or place it at the end of your bed.

Made from 100 per cent wool, this blanket is perfect for keeping warm as the temperature plummets. The pink stripe is a fashionable design element, but it also serves as a very real reminder. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among Canadian women. This year alone 22,400 women will be diagnosed with this crippling disease. We can’t think of a better reason to join the fight.
