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!

greta constantine on the coveteur... it is true, it is true.

Being a Toronto-based company, we at Greta Constantine have a [wee] bit of Canadian pride. Not going to lie about that fact. Undoubtedly, One of our most favourite things about Toronto is the fashion website THE COVETEUR, created by Toronto natives Stephanie Mark and Erin Kleinberg, no less. We can take an educated guess that you have visited the site on numerous occasions to peep the wardrobes of some of fashion's finest, to gain some prime outfit inspiration ;)

Do these handsome faces look familiar? Thought so. These dapper fellows are Kirk and Stephen, snapped by none other than Mr. Gabor Jurina, from the 1980's! Crazy... I know!

A Greta Constantine girl does not leave the house without always being well belted. This piece from our collaboration with Danier is forward-thinking option, and pairs splendidly with the other outer layer pieces offered in the line.

Also. A little birdie told me that Greta Constantine designer Kirk Pickersgill is being featured on THE COVETEUR as part of Holt Renfrew's You've Been Coveteur'd series and exhibition taking place at our aforementioned Canadian retail home. Definitely stay tuned for what I assure you is to be one of their greatest features, with an expertly created personal style!
