Be Bright About It!

April 30, 2013

Lets face up to reality here, when it comes to getting dressed for work we all have our favourite go-to jackets in a variation of dark hues. But then something happens, the days are longer and hopefully brighter, and what worked for us in March is feeling really tired in April and May.

We still need our beloved jackets, we know that with spring comes forced air, cool mornings, and brisk evenings.

Thankfully the modern woman has options here at Gotstyle. These bright jackets are your new investment, with a major return on practicality and style, take these bright hues to the boardroom, brunch and out for dinner all in one fell swoop. When we dress for our lifestyle, the options are endless as to how much milage we can get out of one brand new bright and functional piece, say later to boring neutrals and keep the basics for the boys.

Clashing prints , graphic prints, or straight up floral ones - Spring landscapes are the perfect backdrop for your silk shirts, chambray, spring blazers, and weekend tees.

Approaching a beautiful scarf is like buying a piece of art. Buy the colour, texture or print that makes you happy and with wear it with a care-free attitude; wrap it, drape it or let it hang loose. Like any look that projects style it should be worn with insouciance, a certain “je ne sais quoi”.

Leigh & Luca Tribal Triangle Tasseled Scarf $115. — Leigh & Luca Tribal Triangle Tasseled Scarf $115.

Sammy Stripe Scarf $110. — Sammy Stripe Scarf $110.

Rooted deeply in classic French flare, this accessory is not one to be intimidated by and adds instant impact to your look.

A scarf can be an accent to any outfit and is offers a flattering colour to your face, offering instant brightening to any complexion. No need to see this accessory as weather dependent, scarves can be worn all year round. For major style points this summer, wear a scarf with shorts or a dress to juxtapose this seemingly untraditional combination.

Mad About Metallic

April 18, 2013

Spotted on runways and street style icons this spring, metallic is hot this season and it's easy to incorporate into every woman’s wardrobe.

Embrace its effortless impact; it's the perfect fashion rescue. When colour is in question, metallic goes with everything. Metallic accessories are an easy fix for that colourful dress that begs to be toned down, adds a shiny pop to an all black outfit, and brightens up neutrals with a sleek modern edge.

It’s even okay to mix metals to make a sartorial statement.

The only rule here is less is more! No need to go overboard, a little high shine goes a long way.

Who Is Ted Baker?

April 17, 2013

For years men and woman have swooned over Ted Baker quirky prints and modern cuts, while the identity of Ted Baker remained a mystery. Is there really a Ted and what’s his story?

The real Ted Baker’s name is Ray Kelvin and he opened his first men’s shirt shop in Glasgow in 1987. He shuns the press refusing to have his photo taken; he prefers to uphold the pretense that there really is a "Ted". Kelvin was apprehensive about lending his own name to the brand in fear of the worst-case scenario, but after 25 years of expanding his sole men’s shirt shop to a global fashion empire, clearly those fears have had no merit! Ted, Ray, Mr. Kelvin, who ever you really are; you have reached us here at Gotstyle Distillery and we are fans!

Screen Shot 2013-02-16 at 10.33.57 PM.png

Ted Baker's Spring 2013 line-up is delightfully feminine. We are always amused by Ted’s take on modern femininity and use of prints and colour. This season is highlighted by a selection of watercolour floral flirty dresses and vintage inspired gowns and jumpsuits, demonstrating why fans from range from Kate Middleton to Kate Moss.

On the Street with stylestalker

April 9, 2013

Manic Mondays aren't alone in being hectic. There's four other days of the week and if you're looking ahead to a week of meetings, lunches, work, and catching up with friends over dinner and drinks, how do you dress for it all?

We took to the streets of the Distillery District to shoot our new (and quickly selling out) stylestalker silk blazer to show that looking put together doesn't take hours. With a silk blazer and statement necklace we revamped the basic black outfit into a serious power outfit.

Share your favourite power outfits with us on Instagram: @gotstylewoman.

Friday, I'm In Love

April 5, 2013

On a Friday afternoon after a chilly "spring" week, the only thing on my mind is weekend outfits. Even if your wardrobe doesn't change that much from Monday to Saturday, there's something to be said about how we chose to when there's no office dress code.

It can be as simple as a Jenny Bird necklace or the perfect pair of sunglasses. Our Paige Denim skinny jeans make leaving the sweats at home easy, and let's be honest, save the heels for after supper.

Share your long weekend looks with us on Instagram (@gotstylewoman).

Behind the Seams

April 5, 2013

Making handbags that are loved by everyone requires many stages, one of them being a cotton or paper prototype. Even in the early stages, Ela Handbags are still works of art. Wearable art, our most favourite kind.

Musing Over Bardot & Wide Brims

April 4, 2013

Brigitte Bardot is a woman who wear many hats, each of them equally stylish. Looking ahead to summer, we tip our wide brims to Bardot blondes and big hats.

The New Suit

April 3, 2013

Long gone are the power suits of the 1980s. Where women once adapted to menswear to conjure power and authority, women are now leading with their own style. The new suiting is a playground of patterns, feminine details, flattering cuts, and comfortable fabrics. A statement that boys can be boys, and girls will be girls.

Pro Tip: Watch Working Woman for a what not to wear example.

With Gotstyle's reputation for suiting Toronto's most stylish men, of course we have all the best for Toronto's women. Pink Ted Baker suits, florals and abstract silk suits, and everything in between, plus all of the accessories and footwear to complete your what to wear to the office dilemmas.
