Nina Tan Design at Vancouver Fashion Week

Sometimes, you need to step outside your fashion comfort zone to really have some fun with your style! Stephanie Hung of Nina Tan gave me the opportunity to wear some of her newest pieces to Vancouver Fashion Week this past season, and it really got my imagination running wild!

This Nina Tan collection offers an assortment of pieces in this unique blue print: jacket, skirt, pants, and dress. Rather than picking just one piece to wear, I thought I go print-overload and style 2 items! The key is to balance all that print out with solid colours, in this case, a very vibrant highlighter yellow top. And the result? A head-turning statement ensemble. The best part of all, is those pants are insanely comfortable, so I can go from wearing them to Vancouver Fashion Week to rocking them on the couch at home!

You can check out my interviews from Day 3 at Vancouver Fashion Week below, where I chat with designers Taranjit K Cheema, Melissa Bolduc, and Shravan Kumar on Wow TV's Vancouver Weekly.

Vancouver Fashion Week F/W 2014: Opening Gala

It's that time of year again! Vancouver Fashion Week is upon us! I'm excited to be working with London Drugs this year to cover the beauty trends which are hitting the runway this week. Tonight, we will be covering the runway shows, and doing backstage interviews with VFW Beauty Directors Chris Funk and Yasmin Morshedian to find out how to wear the hottest hairstyles and make-up trends of Fashion Week (all with products from Covergirl, Olay and Pantene!). Stay tuned, and make sure you follow me (Twitter and Instagram) & London Drugs (Twitter and Instagram) to keep up with our live posting from the shows.

Last night was the opening gala, which made for some stellar people-watching, a chance to catch some live entertainment, and of course the pièce de résistance....a sneak peek runway show of the designers' looks! I picked out a few of my favourites, just to give you a taste of what's in store this week. Lots of big hair (the bouffant is back!) and winged liner seem to be key trends, as were crystal-laden gowns (so in love!) and structural designs.
