Street Style: HI-TEC Urban Hike

Posted on

This past Thursday, NKPR was excited to take part in HI-TEC’s first-ever urban hike. We laced up our favourite HI-TEC shoes for an exciting micro-tour of Toronto. Street style photographer Stefania Yarhi captured our looks inspired by HI-TEC as we visited local city spots including DAVIDsTEA and Caplansky’s Food Truck with the Toronto Tour Guys. It may have been a rainy day, but that didn’t stop us from having a great time and taking in the city! Check out some of our favourite street style snaps from the hike.

The 2013 Met Gala: Our Top Picks

Posted on

When we heard that the 2013 Met Gala would have a ‘punk’ theme, we were intrigued as to how the red carpet would approach such a bold, unique look. Suffice to say we were impressed by the diversity and unique take each celeb took with the grunge-inspired look. Some went all out (hello Madonna!) while others seemed to stray away from the theme (Anna Wintour with her florals, for example). Overall, it was a great night for fashion. Here are some of our favourite looks from the red carpet!

Stacy Keibler in Rachel Roy!!! Not being biased at all (maybe I am..) –Lisa

Hayley – Naomi Watts
“She shimmered down the red carpet in a beautiful Armani Prive gown. The stylish and shimmery dress was perfect for the occasion and the fit showed off her incredible body! I also loved the interesting and modern should cut – so chic!”

url-7

Micah – George Clooney
“Because it’s George Clooney and normally I’m not a fan of facial hair but I will make an exception this one time, he looked like a total silver fox!”

url-3

Ania – Jennifer Garner
“The dress seemed simple at first glance but it had a dramatic ruffle all down the back, the colour was unique and it suited her perfectly.”

Destiny – Quenzhane Wallis
“Being the youngest person at the show, she walked the carpet in confidence and looked adorable in her blue gown. Not trying to be too grown up, pairing off the ensemble with a puppy purse was the icing on the cake.”

Lara – Zoe Saldana
Simply: “Her taste is always impeccable. Always.”

Jessica – Zoe Saldana
“Classy but not too safe.”

Fashion We Love: C&T Costello Tagliapietra for The Bay!

Posted on

“It’s a love letter to all the women who have craved greater accessibility to our brand.”-­ Costello and Tagliapietra 

As huge fashion fans, we love it when acclaimed designers introduce affordable, quality and equally beautiful collections into their namesake repertoires.

Which is why we were incredibly excited to hear about the arrival of C&T Costello Tagliapietra (C&T), a new capsule collection of feminine dresses by award-­‐winning designers Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra. C&T is now exclusively available at select The Bay locations across Canada and on Thebay.com!

Reflecting the signature characteristics that Costello and Tagliapietra’s namesake brand is known for, this accessible collection of dresses features a strong colour palette and exquisite draping. With a wide range of figure-­‐flattering silhouettes, there is a style for every woman out there (trust us, C&T is NKPR test-­‐driven!) We love the asymmetrical sleeves, sensual necklines, low scoop backs and keyhole cutouts reflected in the collection.

Summer trend alert: The duo’s other inspiration, florals, is evident in their choice of colour palette this season. Inspired by Costello’s paintings, romantic fabrics incorporate bright blues, corals, jade greens and flashes of white.

Here are some of our favourite dress looks from C&T.
At $298 CAD each, we won’t be shy to pick up a solid AND printed number!

 

The perfect LBD, a PR staple.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We could live in this gorgeous floral dress all summer long!
