SPRING/SUMMER 2014

THE GEORGIA BIKER JACKET:

THE LEXINGTON DOME:

Page 4: Upper Canada Mall Gorgeous Magazine - Spring/Summer 2014

It’s been quite a winter, hasn’t it? Between the

holiday Ice Storm, the never-ending Polar Vortex,

the frost quakes and countless blizzards, I can

hardly wait to pack away my boots, chunky

sweaters, parkas and mittens – which says a lot,

since I genuinely LOVE fall and winter fashion!

However, as we finally spring forward, I’m dreaming of florals, soft

pinks and nudes, nautical stripes, beautiful skirts, open-toed shoes... all the popular trends for the coming

months. Spring signifies new beginnings, and in this issue of Gorgeous we’re updating how we share

seasonal trends with our readers. Our goal is not to suggest a wardrobe overhaul, but simply to offer tips

and tricks to easily freshen up your closet for spring. Our team has taken great care in curating a collection

of looks, merchandise, beauty tips and articles to help you ease into a new season. Whether you’re in

your 20s and starting a new job, or in your 60s and want to look age-appropriately chic, this issue will help

you find a personal style that reflects who you are, and most importantly, makes YOU feel GORGEOUS!

In May, Upper Canada Mall turns forty – and the mall has never looked better or had a brighter

future! Giving back to our community has always been at the foundation of what we do, and to celebrate

this milestone we’ll be honouring 40 individuals who have made significant contributions to their

communities. Be sure to visit our website for full details.

We’ve also refreshed our Gorgeous blog and website, where you’ll find even more content

and style advice, including how-to videos from our Gorgeous stylist and make-up & hair artist,

and blogs on current events and fashion finds inside the mall. Just for fun, we’ll also post quizzes

and conversation starters. For instance, if you were a shoe, which one would you be?

We love to hear from you, so please visit us at Gorgeous.UpperCanadaMall.com and tell us

about what makes you feel Gorgeous, or what the word Gorgeous means to you.

START WITH LIGHT KNITS

We’ve put together a group of items to help you build a look around light knits. The pieces on this page are all designed to work with each other, so you can mix up any top with either the skirt or jeans and you can mix the shoes, scarf, bags and accessories to get loads of looks. Even stylish celebrities rely on a soft, light knit to take a pair of jeans and a t-shirt out to play, so

take their cue and make it work for you, too!

Style and comfort are an easy partnership with light

knits. Pulling a sweater on with a pair of jeans is as

easy as it gets. Add a bracelet, a pair of strappy flat

sandals and a pastel clutch and you’re ready to

tackle the day.

The mix of textures make this outfit work double time.

The knit with leather on the sleeves and the soft white

skirt are stunning together. Finish the look with a great

pair of wedges, a cross body bag, and some pretty

accessories. Now, just throw your shades on and go!

Be A Natural Beauty The secret to achieving a flawless, natural look is that it takes a little work. A couple of quick tips include using a

pencil to ‘draw in’ eyebrow hairs rather than fill the shape completely, and use a clear lip gloss on the cheekbone to

get that dewy fresh look. Visit Gorgeous.UpperCanadaMall.com to watch our ‘How-To’ video with Make-Up Artist

Yasmin, as she walks you through all the steps to getting this gorgeous, natural look.

One of the loveliest ways to spend a sunny summer weekend is at the cottage. Hikes, a dip to cool off after

lying in the sun, a lazy afternoon with a good book, and an evening of food, drinks and music on the deck into

the wee hours can make a getaway feel like a full-fledged vacation. What will you pack in your ‘weekender’ bag?

TOP 10WHEN WE ASKED GORGEOUS STYLIST, TIMOTHY HUNG, TO SHARE HIS TOP 10 PICKS FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2014,

HERE’S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY: “THERE ARE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL OPTIONS THIS SEASON, AS YOU’LL SEE IN THIS

ISSUE OF ‘GORGEOUS’, IT WAS TOUGH TO CHOOSE JUST 10. THE ITEMS I SELECTED ARE THE ONES THAT I THINK

SHOULD FIND THEIR WAY INTO EVERY FASHIONISTA’S CLOSET. NO ExCUSES! GO GET ‘EM.”

BLUE GEOMETRIC TOP: This spectacular print can

go with black shorts, white pants, jeans, a soft grey

skirt – the point is, it can go anywhere. Go get one!

LIGHT JEANS: Comfy?

Check. Stylish? Check. Work,

home or date night? Check.

What are you waiting for?WHITE & GOLD BRACELET: Feeling a little

girly today? Tie this on for a sweet, feminine look.

Another piece that works almost any time.

LEATHER JACKET:

Jeans, white t-shirt,

big necklace, nude

shoes and this jacket.

Hot.

FAUX LEATHER JACKET: This piece has great style

and is ultra lightweight – feels like leather, but it’s not!

Pretty enough to pair with a summer sun dress on a

cool evening.

PRINTED SHORTS: I would pair these silky, sexy shorts

with nude heels, the rose gold watch and a simple top.

Add a bold necklace and you get ‘wow’!

ROSE GOLD WATCH: Its time

has come – this fabulous

rose-coloured watch should

be considered a statement

piece – it’s so good it can

almost carry an outfit on its own.

WHITE T: Wear the classic white t with shorts,

pants, skirts, under other shirts or sweaters…

without a doubt, it’s the most versatile,

necessary item of the season.

STATEMENT NECKLACE:

I love, love, love a big necklace.

Comes with big style points.

NUDE SHOES:

They make your

legs look longer.

GORGEOUS: Hi! Tell us a little about M for Mendocino

and what you’re all about.

M: M for Mendocino opened its f irst boutique on

Queen Street West in 2009 as a source for Toronto

women looking for accessible style. As the sister

brand to Mendocino, M offers trend-driven shoppers

the season’s must-have runway looks at affordable

price points. With great customer service at its core,

M is dedicated to helping women in the GTA put their

personal twist on the season’s top trends. M has 11

locations across the GTA and is expanding, offering

women a fun and vibrant shopping experience in a

unique boutique atmosphere.

GORGEOUS: When building a look, where should you

start? Shoes? Jacket? Top? Accessory?

M: I t all depends on the piece you’re looking to

highlight. First choose the item you want to wear, for

instance a pair of denim shorts are a great blank

canvas. You can use them as your staple piece and

make them casual with a crop top and sneakers or

dressed up with a lace tank and a wedge.

GORGEOUS: Colour is always part of the transition

between seasons – what’s the colour palette for

spring and summer 2014?

M: At M we love a variety of colours for spring and

summer 2014 – neutrals (black, white, grey, cream),

pops of red and cobalt and soft pinks are the big ones.

GORGEOUS: What are the 4 key pieces every girl

needs in her spring wardrobe?

M:

GORGEOUS: Classic or Trend? Is there a ‘rule of

thumb’ in terms of how to think about where to spend

your money? For example, should we spend 50% of

our fashion budget on classics and 50% on trend

pieces? We’d love your perspective!

An Interview with M for Mendocino’sBrand Director, Jessica Kaplan.

to add to your closet at the best price!

basics to layer into your wardrobe.

GORGEOUS: Summer is the t ime for weekend

getaways. What would you toss in your bag for a

weekend at the lake?

M: A denim or vegan leather jacket for the cooler

nights. A maxi dress can be worn as a cover up

and in the evening. A great pair of denim shorts.

A versatile striped dress. Best of all, you can find all of

these items at M!

This dress and jacket with the leather detailing create a

very polished look and the silver tipped flats are truly a

contrasting colour, a bracelet to echo the shoe, and get

TWO: Layers to Love

Tone down the sexiness of a leather skirt for work by adding

a shirt and a soft sweater. These gladiator-inspired suede

wedges deliver both style and comfort, and make sure to

add a long feminine necklace and a simple clutch to finish

the look. Simply take off the sweater to bring sexy back!

EMOTION: Colour can make you look AND feel different – if you want to say ‘soft and pretty’, go for a pastel; if ‘bold and dynamic’ is your personal statement, try cobalt blue. Just think about what you want to say, and say it with colour!

REFRESH: Instead of adding a ‘pop’ of colour for contrast, why not make a colour the theme for an outfit by layering your look with multiples of the same colour or hues?

The definition of shoot week? Organized chaos. All the pre-production, product pulls, decisions

on trends, hair and make-up, and ultimately the looks for the ‘hero’ shots for the magazine come

together in a frenzy of what feels like a beehive that someone just disrupted. With too many lattes

and sweets fuelling the studio full of people, everyone seems to find their place in the rhythm of the

long days – all in search of the perfect way to show you the gorgeous retailers at Upper Canada Mall.
