IN THE "TIE" WORLD FEATURING LVJ HABERDASHER...
When it comes to ties, bow-ties - there is plenty of them on the market these days-but to find the good quality ones - it can be a challenge. The together with quality comes price tag which sometimes holds us back from making buying decision.
Just recently, I was introduced to LVJ haberdasher - brand created in 2012 by Luke James started LVJ with help, support and ideas of his close family. LVJ haberdasher is owned and operated by the family and they want to keep it this way. Everyone in the family brings a unique skillset to the table -that way they have really been able to leverage everyone’s strengths.
And what's most important for me - they are from Calgary!!!!
They started becoming increasingly disgruntled, and the idea to start their own accessories company was born - with several principles that will never change.
First, it was very important for them that all of their accessories would be all made by hand. There is just no other way to pay the proper attention to details and provide the proper quality without making accessories by hand. Secondly, they wanted to provide truly unique accessories that were classy and would suit a gentleman. Lastly, their accessories are made in North America. There is just something to making something close to home.
What I found very important for me to know is that not only they put hours of testing and research into every detail of your tie & bow tie, but also they are designing all width, materials and patterns from scratch.
LVJ haberdasher sources the absolute best materials and fabrics to hand make their ties.
Most of the fabrics come from top mills in Italy and the UK and they use the best thread they could find, Japanese silk, and the top quality interfacing sourced from a UK mill. What is also very interesting-they don’t cut any corners!!!!
The brand goal is definitely to provide quality alternatives in men’s accessories to both men who already know how to dress, as well as men who would like to step up their dress.
"We feel our ties and bow ties are just that, the one piece that can really set you apart", says Luke James.

TIFFANY&CO 2013 BLUE BOOK COLLECTION REVEAL...
Each year - all jewelery lovers are waiting for this moment - launcheon of the Blue Book...
Even if you don't see the name on the book-you immediately know "what's that" just by looking at the book itself..It has to be Tiffany&Co:-)
The new Blue Book Collection draws on Tiffany’s legendary style, its tradition of beauty and excellence and its status as the world’s premier diamond jeweler to create an extravagant, euphoric, magnificent and magical celebration of the Jazz Age.
Blue Book 2013 bursts with the energy and innovation of the Roaring Twenties that transformed fashion and culture and gave rise to American glamour. The preeminent jeweler then and now, Tiffany created the diamond jewelry that adorned sleek new silhouettes and opulent supper club attire.
With the elite of gemstones for which Tiffany & Co. is renowned, Blue Book’s master designers illuminate this fabled period with brilliant creations that explore Tiffany’s Deco legacy, which favored white diamonds and platinum punctuated with colorful gemstones in softly contoured settings. The designers’ breathtaking jewels move with Jazz Age exuberance and flow with the current of modern times.
Necklaces and diamond drop earrings share the sublime grace of New York’s skyscrapers such as
the Chrysler building and Rockefeller Center.
Bracelets drape the wrist with round and baguette diamonds hand set in the rhythmic patterns of a jazz composition.
Art Deco’s vibrant color palette is reflected in rare, fancy color diamonds, treasures of the natural world that can be found only at Tiffany. Pink, orange, blue and green diamonds of rich color saturation combine with white diamonds in rings of pure symmetry; and rings with yellow diamonds are bordered with sapphires, spessartites and pink diamonds.
Personally, I am the fan of bracelets and couple of my favourites from the 2013 Collection are coarse bangle of a round and baguette diamonds in pave, bead and bezel settings, with milgrained and polished platinum (see first below), as well as Tiffany's butterfly bracelet with diamonds and cabochon Montana sapphires in platinum (second below)...

Maybelline New York & Air Canada Rouge Collaborate...
I was quite intrigued when I heard about new collaboration in which Maybelline New York will help transform the airline runways of Air Canada's newest leisure carrier - Air Canada rouge.
Helping the flight attendants walk the aisles in style in anticipation of the airlines July 1st launch - Maybelline New York announced that they will create distinct custom beauty, training and makeup-styling kits for the 150 attendants working on board the leisure airline!!
Just recently, media received sneak peak of the beauty looks created by Maybelline New York Canada's lead makeup artist - Grace Lee.
Grace, keeping in line with the definitive flight attendant allure, presented a beauty look characterized by a subtle cat eye, flawless skin and the perfect bold bright lip - a subtle twist on the classic...
"The Air Canada rouge beauty look is clean and fresh. With the bright lip as the central statement, its on-trend but super wearable", says Lee.
GETTING READY FOR A SUMMER WITH MARIE-CLAUDE BRAULT - GUERLAIN NATIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST
Are you ready for the summer season?Do you need help on how to look your summertime best?
National Makeup Artist for Guerlain Canada-Marie-Claude Brault shares her top 5 summer makeup tips!!!We all need some guidance once in a while-so I thought I would just share them with you:-)
Show off a clear complexion!!!
"This season the complexion is nude, natural and transparent.. Blush is swept aside for foundations and other light powders that produce a barely-there makeup effect and a naturally tanned, radiant complexion", explains Marie-Claude.
There are definitely two products you MUST have - Terracotta 4 Seasons - that helps reproducing natural sun-kissed glow; and Lingeie de Peau Booster de Beaute - that protects, evens out skin texture and minimizes flaws!!
Adjust the foundation!!!
While it is generally recommended to choose foundation shade lighter than your skin tone, summer is the ideal time of a year to bend the rules and opt for a more intense shade!!
You can try Terracotta Light - a very light powder that will give you a luminous complexion for sure!!
Enhance the complexion!!!
There is nothing better to enhance a complexion than a simple sweep of Terracotta powder for a flawlessly natural look!!They say - it is like three weeks of sunshine in just three seconds!!
Emphasize nails!!!
Marie-Claude encourage each of us to go little bit more crazy this summer season with eye-popping, long lasting nail colour!!
We have great choices between shades of coral's and red's - however pink is by far the hottest colour for the Summer 2013!!
It would be even more striking if we apply one of those shades not only on nails-but also toes and...lips!!!
Stay natural!!!
The best way to look beautiful this season is to look just natural and escaping from over-doing your makeup!! Remember - Less Is More!!!
Here is the list of Marie-Claude must-haves:
* Terracotta 4 Seasons $82
* Lingerie de Peau Booster de Beaute $54
* Meteorites Perles fluide Eclat les Ors base $78
* Terracotta Light $57
* Gloss d' Enfer $32
* Color Lacquer $25
