Canadian Tuxedo – WTF?

February 5, 2013 by suzanne carillo

I had never heard this term until recently several different bloggers mentioned it. It spiked my curiosity. As I am Canadian and fashion obsessed I wondered what is this mysterious Canadian Tuxedo that they speak of?

After scratching my head a bit I thought… might it be this?

Ryan-gosling-salvatore-ferragamo-blue-shawl-collar-custom-made-tuxedo-2

Cause hot damn this Canadian knows how to wear a suit. Any suit. Even no suit. He wears it well.

Then I thought, well we can be a bit more casual sometimes so maybe it’s more like this Canadian

Ryan Reynolds 1

Cause sometimes you just need a little sweater action, as we all know in Canada it gets a little colder.

Or maybe it’s more like this Canadian…

MICHAEL_BUBLE_2

Cause Micheal is no slob when it comes to dressing.

But then I thought, hang on…maybe it has nothing at all to do with what we are wearing but rather our attitude.

So then I thought it might look something like this,

Stephen-amell-arrow-poster1

Because Stephen doesn’t need a tux or even clothes for that matter to show that he is one fierce MoFo Canadian thru and thru.

But then I did some more research and apparently it looks like this,

Kanye_west

or this

Mattdamon

or this

Sean_penn

Seriously??? Yes…I’m about as thrilled as Sean.

Clearly these guys are not Canadian and quite frankly I might add, rather disappointing Canadian imposters.

So I dove deeper down the rabbit hole of online research and I managed to discover that a Canadian Tuxedo is actually someone that wears denim on denim and in Canada we refer to this as the “Texas Tuxedo”.

Britney-Spears-Justin-Timberlake-denim outfits

Makes perfect sense now.

It’s all relative my friends. All relative.

Let The Faux Fur Fly

February 5, 2013 by suzanne carillo

I've seen lots of real fur this year in what could be considered a bit of a rebirth of the fur industry. I simply cannot abide by this trend. I know that the vintage fur pieces are old etc but I still get creeped out about it. I just don't like the idea of it.

Faux fur on the other hand can be lots of fun. Getting a piece that doesn't make me look like Chewbacca is another story.

I tried and tried to find a faux fur vest that I could wear with confidence and wasn't able to find anything remotely suitable. They all added loads of hairy weight to my frame. That's right. Two things not associated with feeling attractive, hair and weight.

The compromise was a fur trim collar. It is still a bit puffy, but I think it looks okay and I can tell you it is very warm. Also added bonus, the collar comes off for when it's not freezing cold outside like it is today.

Obviously I've been fantasizing about this coat for a while since I made this Polyvore set I think in Sept or Oct. I was able to snatch up the blazer when ModCloth had their big sale.
