Loved the breath of fresh air and hints of Spring and Summer, soon to
hit Vancouver, in this collection organized by Suzanne Timmins of
Toronto! Corals, pinks, turquoises, yellows, lavenders were bursts of
flowers and rainbows from The Embrace Color looks. This was a reminder
to me to buy metallic bright sandals and pair them with jeans of every
shade. And mix and match everything, no twin sets, please. Buy pieces
that are flirty and emphasize the shape rather than overwhelm it.
Florals and patterns made their way into blouses, pants, shoes, purses
and sweaters. And, yes, these too, are mixed and matched, although with
a careful eye to match or contrast carefully. The Print Works
collection demonstrated this beautifully. The New Lady featured the
classic trench, but again fitted and flattering rather than bulky or
long. Betsey Johnson floral crystal necklace graced this show and she
would have been in the right place to be part of such a lively show. A
cropped coral jacket, by Sandro, encouraged me to put the longer jackets
of winter away and brighten up with color as well as a shorter and more
fitted look. The Sport Luxe and Summer Nomad collections were strong
messages to make informal looks just as vibrant and gorgeous as
possible. Thanks to Suzanne, who despite the tallest heels ever, would
look terrific in all of these fashions and accessories. Thanks also to
The Bay for inviting customers to an evening that welcomes and inspires
us to look on Trend. The Room is always a spacious and well designed
showcase and the staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. We also
enjoyed the plentiful and delicious refreshments.
