kirk is on THE COVETEUR

Hello, children. The folks at THE COVETEUR were most lovely to feature our VERY OWN Kirk Pickersgill, (one-half of the duo) behind Greta Constantine on their mega popular site today. Kirk definitely has some stylish tricks up his sleeves. Case in point:

These sandals are seriously tough. And incredible. If these do not put you in a Zen state, I do not know what will!

I LOVE THIS SHIRT. THE FLOWER. Swoon!

As anyone who knows Kirk can attest to, this style of shoe is a definite Kirk signature. The days in the summer when Kirk did not shoe up in his classic choice of sneaks were rare as a bear downtown Toronto.

Be good children and check out the whole feature on Kirk's most prized pieces on THE COVETEUR. Happy clicking!

falling into colours & layers

It’s that time of the year where fall is just around the corner. Transitioning your wardrobe can be a tricky one, so here are some ways that can help you be prepared for the pre-fall season!

Layers:
It may still be warm during the day, but the nights are getting a lot more breezy. So, adding layers to your outfit is a great way to modify your look. Keep your summer pieces and incorpoate it to fall.

Put on your skirt, wear a cute button-down shirt, and throw on a chic sweater!

Here’s one of our dresses from the Primer collection. The POSEY dress is a great example for a summer to fall transition outfit. Make it your own, by adding your own cardigan or jacket, and style the scarf any way that suits you!

Colours:
We love mixing prominent colours into our wardrobe. Savor the summer with bright/bold colours and balance it out with greys, blacks, or neutrals.

Even check out our fall/winter 2011 collection! Whether the color is the garment itself or just a touch, have fun with wearing colour!

fabric, cameras, and salad, oh my!

Word! We hope you had an amazing summer (following our blog, of, course!). We loved the short dresses and sweet evening soirees summer had to offer, but are SO ready to layer on cozy jersey and fur pieces, to gallivant in the Fall leaves! Given that... DO we have some new clothes for YOU. Each season, our wears must be photographed for a look book so buyers can choose and see which Greta, Ezra, and, Primer Constantine pieces they want in their respective shopping destination. We recently shot the Greta Constantine Primer and Ezra Constantine look books at photographer Gabor Jurina's slick Toronto studio.


Welcome to our lensman (Mr. Gabor Jurina's) extraordinaire's studio!

Some major photographic instruments. After all... models and mannequins BOTH need a little help looking picture perfect. That is why photographers exist, mais non?

Swishy/lovely silky blue fabric. One of the most important tools of the trade - if there is no fabric, there is no clothing!



We've got the goods.



Fashion people do eat... Here salads are aplenty. Greek, Caesar, and Garden, oh my! After a day of shooting, eats are imperative!



She's got grace. This would be the most perfect dress for lounging poolside on a weekend getaway. Comfort and style in 1? That is a winning combination, my friends.


Do you love scarves or are cute little hats more up your alley? Like to wear tights, or are sleek bottoms your Fall must-have? What are some of your favourite Autumnal clothing pieces you love to layer and mix-and-match to create a fabulous ensemble? Let us know in the comments section below!

Cupcakes and Bowties

I would love to receive these sweet coloured, bright bites of delight right about now. No need to fertilize these cakes, sweet cheeks!

Little bows, big sea. This crazy bow-tie covered pillow brings to mind a picture of one, bow-tie wearing industry legend.

The future is looking rainbow bright for this mini fashionista (seen walking in Yorkville at 11 am on a sunny Saturday morning). Crushing on here wee Pink Converse sneaks.

Monday just got a sprinkle more cheerful!
