“If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.“   I do not agree with this in the least. Being nice isn’t nice. I do not mean that you need to be mean, but you need to not be okay with just “nice.” Nice is a meaningless term. People use the word so...

So this is really excited to be able to bring to you. Starting April 24th of 2013 HUGO BOSS started a large social media campaign shot exclusively for their Shanghai Runway Show. The focus of this push is on a film shot exclusively for this show. Consisting of multiple episodes it will be...

Hey everyone, so with the recent launch of the Spring Summer Collection of the Persona Bead Collection, I thought what better way to introduce you to the brand than to show you what you can potentially have… by winning it! Persona makes some of the best beads that I have come across for...

So, remember when I had the opportunity to try out a Revolution Riche sweater? Remember how fantastic their designs were, how beautifully made they were, and how ultimately, I needed every single one of them in my life? Well, when I heard the news the other day that Revolution Riche would be...

Do you consider yourself a nail expert?  Do you think that your nails are the best of the best? Are you able to create art on the smalls of your fingers? Well, this contest is for you then! Mara Hoffman is currently holding a Nail Contest. All you have to do is send in your Mara Hoffman...

So, Beyonce is pretty much having the best year ever. Singing for Obama, being the new face of Pepsi, and apparently, now the face of H&M as well. (Let’s also not forget how spectacular she looked on her trip to Cuba, because that was a pretty stellar set of braids). So when the...

I was invited along with a variety of other influencers and members of the media to the VERSAY Wine on Tap Launch which was held at foodie-favorite and Toronto hot-spot, Rock Lobster. When I first received the invitation and looked more into the brand, I kept thinking, “Oh geez, wine on...

I find that when you speak with people who are outside the fashion industry, that they often relate fashion to the most extreme form of vanity and relate it to the most vile of people. Where as not everyone sees it this way, there is always an underlying assumption that if you’re...

There are some fantastic stores in this city. There are stores for formalwear, there are dress shops, there are suit stores, there are bespoke tailors, and there is pretty much everything else you can possibly think of within the city of Toronto. However, there are some shops that go above...

When I first saw the posters and saw my first video preview for the new Great Gatsby movie that is coming out I knew that it was going to have to be something that I see.  I am a huge fan of movies and cinema in general and this movie looked like it was going to be something not only had a...

So, I have been talking a lot about the upcoming Fashion Art Toronto (FAT as it is otherwise known) and I am really excited for it to come! So, I wanted the opportunity to be able to share this week with the rest of you, or at least, the fun and the thrill of opening night. So, I have arranged...

If you’ve read the site before or been following it for nearly the past year that we have been up and running you’ll know that Myles Sexton has always been someone we have adored. He has released his own videos, he has walked in various fashion shows, he has done make-up tutorials...

With the comedy movie Pain and Gain coming into theatres soon, I thought it would be appropriate to touch on a theme that looks as though it  will be prevelant in the movie: Fashion. Based in the 1990s the movie is based on the story of a group of personal trainers who get caught up in a...

Last year at Fashion Art Toronto I was introduced to a designer I have come to be friends with who is such an absolute sweetheart and an overall amazing talent. With a great sense of humor and even greater sense of design, Theresa Ibbetson, the creator and designer behind the acclaimed B.E....

From the beginning of OhWowYouWoreThat we have always had guest contributors, people who would submit from time to time and post articles whenever they wanted a place to share their content other than their own sites. However for the last little while I have been looking for someone to help me...

When it comes to haircuts and spa treatments I am pretty fickle. I have never been sure why really, but I find that for me a hairstylist and esthetician are either spectacular, or they are awful. Same with salons, either I love them or  hate them. Sadly, in my 20 years of going to salons,...

Earlier last week Mexx celebrated their re-opening in Yorkdale Mall, their new look and their improved in-store experience. Being in Yorkdale Mall, one of Canada’s leading shopping destinations is a big deal, and being able to celebrate an overall company improvement as well as the success...

As part of a series of pieces I am doing before Fashion Art Toronto comes to Toronto, I wanted to be able to showcase some of the designers and key players of Fashion Art Toronto this year. Having already shared the video that the team has released prior to the big week, I wanted to be able to...

Who knows a hardworking, deserving mother who needs a fabulous makeover? To celebrate the loving and generous mothers, Muse Apparel and Merle Norman have partnered up to host a Mother’s Day Makeover in New York City on Friday, May 10th.   If you live in the tri-state area, you could be...

Well, when I first heard about this collaboration I was intrigued. I thought, “Hmm. What an odd mix.” But then as I watched the video, it appeared to be the perfect fit. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis the duo behind some of the biggest hits of the end of 2012 and the start of 2013 (We...

The retail landscape in Canada seems to constantly be changing. What used to be somewhat stagnant in terms of growth has seemed to balloon in the past few years with a variety of retailers expanding into Canada, a lot of shopping centres expanding, and a lot of department stores interested in...

Now everyone on this site knows my opinion on sweatpants. However, if you’re an avid reader of OhWowYouWoreThat or know me personally, you’ll know there is one brand that I support wholeheartedly and actually enjoy their designs and aesthetics. So, it’s super exciting when I get to...

I am personally a fan of runway shows and fashion shows that are not held within the confines of a traditional fashion week. Having an education in the background of the fashion industry, don’t get me wrong, I do understand the need for fashion shows and I understand the tremendous value of...

No no, this isn’t going to be a FAT nor a PHAT fashion video. For those of you who are not knowledgeable about what I am talking about, FAT, also know as Alternative Fashion Week or Fashion Art Toronto is a spectacle unlike any other. Being unlike traditional fashion weeks, FAT combines...
