Who says the boys get to have all the fashionable fun with their socks?

Men have their Happy Socks, but who says us girls can’t have some fun with our feet too? We love the striping and patterns of Instance (known as Stance in the US), who just launched their artist series sock collections this season, featuring Steven Harrington and Don Pendleton styles. Designed in California and created with their 200 needle woven process, Instance, seen on skater boys and girls alike, offers many stylish options for those looking to add a hit of individual style to their look.

From $8 to $18 per pair, visit Stance.com, for where to buy.

012 knickerbockerglory Beauty Find Ciate polishNAIL CRUSADES

British brand Ciaté brings their line of polishes to ebeauty.ca

In the now constant nails wars there is always a dark horse. Enter Ciaté, a line of formaldehyde and toluene free polishes from Britian, who count Rihanna, Daisy Lowe and Yasmin Le Bon among their famous fans. Each Paint Pot, $14 on ebeauty.ca, contains 250 bristles per brush, and these lush lacquers from former nail technician Charlotte Straughan come in super saturated colours that last. We fell hard for Knickerbockerglory, and others including Vintage, Gold Digga and Ghetto Fabulous.

David Dixon Fall 2012

Adding flights of fancy to his latest collection, feathers, sequins, leather, embroidered tulle and chiffon took centre stage for David Dixon‘s Fall 2012 showing, which closed out day four of Toronto Fashion Week. Taking direct inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, Canada’s go-to man for fancy frocks and tailored coats, made good on his promise this season, delivering a strong and wearable collection for his customer. Our favourite season of his thus far, we were instantly enamored with the teal strapless dress with a feathered pattern done in complementary sequins, a shiny cream shift dress with peplum details and the feather accented jewels done by Rita Tesolin.
