True Queen: Karis JG
I haven’t featured anyone for True Queen of the week…in Months! So when I saw Karis post this photo to her Facebook I was inspired and excited because I knew she was the next style Queen on my hit list. Karis is obviously gorgeous and has the style knowledge to match, her white sleeveless shirt, mint colored skinnies and nude/orange sandals have an air of high sophistication and cool summer simplicity. LOVING IT!
Residing in the bustling city of Toronto Karis was nice enough to answer a few questions about her style for us:
What beauty products do you swear by? For beauty products I swear by Mac lipstick and Mixed Chicks leave in conditioner
How would you classify your style? I’d call my style uhhh casual sheek? Lol never been asked
Favourite summer trend? My favorite summer trend is definitely bold colors and prints, my least is those hideous clingy polyester dresses that have all those blingy accents…u know those ones lol the Malvern/Cedarbrae dresses especially worn with tights
(LMAO I know exactly what your talking about! Toronto Catties!)

Breaking more than Dawn

An admitted twi-hard fan, I’ve been anticipating the release of the next movie in the Twilight saga “Breaking Dawn“, since the minute the previous film (“Eclipse”) ended! I’m not going to camp out or poke any eyes out for tickets on opening night (Nov. 18th), but I am a fan and have always thought Kristen possessed a quirky sort of elegance that just never seems to fail in great fashion editorials.
The dark and enchanting shoot she did for Vogue’s November 2011 issue by Michelangelo di Battista show how much this awkward yet delicate flower from Twilight, has blossomed into a poised and sophisticated young woman. The looks in the spread scream queen of some sort of modern under world. She wears sexy spider like heels, a dramatic over coat and of course being a trend, is covered in lots of sparkle. The pieces she was styled in come from the heavy weights of couture; Alexander McQueen, Roberto Cavalli, Blumaine and Marchesa.

Alexander McQueen Tribute for Vogue US April 2011 by Steven Meisel
Alexander Mc Queen always evokes such dark fantasy like images. The latest were shot by Steven Meisel was for Vogue April 2011.
Alexander McQueen A/W 2011 Presentation
Autumn Winter 2011 will be no match for any ice princess who chooses to brave the elements in Alexander McQueen. Fur fur and more fure were the basis for this ice kingdom ; “The Ice Queen and her Court” which was presented in high Alexander Style, with a pack of white wolves to complete the feel.
None of the looks are ready to wear by any stretch of the imagination. Purely conceptual it brings like to the “heritage Shilouette” as stated by style.com. When I view the collection I get a feel for where Sarah Burton was going, but I also get a distinct sensualism, that borders if not matches a Sado sexual mood.
Bondage here in the form of straps, buckles and zippers line most items in the collection, and the shoes only perpetuate that image to its height.
Sexy…yes…very….I love it. Check out the video to watch the show, which starts out in complete darkness. Damn they know how to put on a good show.
