Dressing for Success with Canadian Coveted Label Judith & Charles


Our Editor-in-Chief Jessica Eritou was invited to attend the Women in Communications and Technology's "Time for Real Change: Mentorship and Opportunites for Women in Communication and Technology" at the Rideau Club this week.

It was a great panel discussion focusing on the political landscape and opportunities available for women in the capital.

Judith & Charles dressed her for the occasion featuring all new pieces from their Spring collection. The Canadian label caught the attention of the fashion world when Sophie Gregoire Trudeau was spotted in their "Close Dress" for the Canada 2020 reception in Washington D.C.

Feminine touches with hints of menswear are a constant theme to the label. According to the label, once she, the client, is familiar with her size, the consistent quality of tailoring will allow her to know how each of their pieces will fit.

The label also has strong ties to Canada. Ninety per cent of the clothes made by Judith & Charles are locally manufactured, which supports local economies.

For Jessica's look, the company dressed in their French blue Beckmann jacket. It is perfect for making a bold statement, and very appropriate for business functions due to the modern tailoring and tuxedo collar.


As the jacket was the main focal point, the Swanson blouse is the perfect piece to wear underneath, which features a very flattering neckline.



To bring the look all together Judith & Charles' flattering flat front Takashi pant ties in the black single button on the Beckmann jacket, and as well if you choose to roll up the jacket's sleeves.

A big Thank You to Judith & Charles, as well as Margaux, Sandra, and Maria from the company for making this happen.

House (of Commons) So Big I Haven't Seen Them Boys In Two Days


Amidst all the sparring today in the house House of Commons over ISIS and pipelines, we do have to say we love both Interim-Leader Rona Ambrose and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's style seen today in Ottawa for their first day back sitting.

Current Vibe: Fade and Yeezy Season 2

Lately, we've really into the a track, "Fade" that most of us hope will be on Swish, coming out February 11. This isn't really fashion, but this track was featured in the YEEZY Season 2 collection for Adidas and Kanye West. 

While living in Ottawa, we are fortunate enough for the modern luxury store SSENSE close by in Montreal. The store which features duty-free shopping, as well as free shipping across Canada. SSENSE currently sells the YEEZY Season 1 collection for men and women. 

NRML is another shop in downtown Ottawa which is one of the few stores across Canada that gets their hands on any upcoming YEEZY Boost 350 and 750 colour way.

Shop for YEEZY Season 1 here, and check out NRML here

Take a listen below of the instrumental version of "Fade".

"Subtle" Socks With Patriotic Pride


Twitter
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was spotted wearing some very patriotic looking red and white maple leaf dress socks as he arrives at his First Minister's meeting in Ottawa last week on November 23.

If you like bold socks may we suggest a Canadian company, Socks By William. They have a bold red striped pattern that can show off your own loyal, patriotic pride.

Cool and Casual for We Day


For their first public appearance after the swear in ceremony, Justin Trudeau and Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau kept it cool and casual for Ottawa's We Day on Nov. 10 at the Canadian Tire Centre.

Highlights: Sophie wears a cozy black knit, with tight gray trousers. Justin in business casual sans jacket with a dress shirt, slacks, tie and a nice watch.

Appealing to: The young attendees.

Significance: Fresh off from swearing in a week ago, the couple looks comfortable in both their outfits. Since the event is centred around youth and entertainment featuring music from Simple Plan, the two seem relaxed, and energetic with enough movement in their clothing. If they wore something more stiff (like a sheath dress and suit), they would look stuffy at an event like this with all the dancing, and energy from the crowd in the day time. Also notice the gray tone in Justin's trousers compliment Sophie's. 

Overall: We are used to public appearances with dresses and suits so this is a refreshing look for the duo. Well done.
