This week we put online some really cute pieces from our spring collection! I decided to create 3 fresh looks around some of my favourite pieces. Which one would you wear?
Look 1: Global Trotter ( Features the Oaxaca dress)
>
Look 2: Bohemian Rhapsody (Features the Running in Daisy Fields Blouse)
Look 3: Pretty in Blue ( Features the Cats & Bow Dress)
I love that all the girls who work at Onze have such unique styles! Yesterday at St-Denis I photographed Adele’s casual and slightly androgynous look that she pulls off so well!
She is wearing a sweater by Tatiana and Natouchi and the Chalet Jacket by BB Dakota (now available online! ).
Often, we look at manicures and realize they require a lot of precision to make all those wonderful details, like straight lines or small shapes. I have a trick for you that will facilitate those of you who don’t have that steady hand! Here’s a simple manicure that is perfect for any day out.
How to get this look?
1.Apply a base coat.
2.Apply two coats of your desired colour. In my case, I took a dark blue.
3.Take a piece of scotch tape and apply two coats of the colour you want your stripe to be and let it dry. This piece of scotch tape is the foundation of the stripe in the middle of the nail. I decided to take an opaque white. Let it all dry.
4.Cut this piece of scotch tape in the form you want. I decided to do a simple band. (you can cut triangles, hearts, etc.)
5.Using a toothpick, pick up some glitter and apply it to the stripe. I used some glitter that comes from a nail polish, but you can buy packs of glitter and use that.. (you may vary the way you decorate your nail)
6.Put the stripe right in the middle of your nail and apply a top coat to keep everything in place. If there is some scotch tape exceeding your nail, you can simply cut it off with a nail clipper.

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting Guylaine the designer behind Grob, at her east-end studio! Guylaine, originally from Trois-Rivière, first moved to Montreal to study fashion at Cégep Marie-Victorin, and she has been designing ever since. Her women’s label Grob has been around for 6 years and is designed and made entirely in Montreal! (Check out her collection at Boutique Onze!)
I had a chance to speak with Guylaine about her new collection, her inspirations and her personal style!
What inspires your creations?
Traveling, vintage clothing and street style (friends and people I don’t know!)
What do you love most about your job?
I love the creative freedom that my job allows me to have and my flexible schedule.
Describe your creative process?
I’m always compiling inspirations and ideas in my notebook. When it’s time to design a new collection, I first go to my fabric supplier to choose my fabrics for the season. Then with my notebook of ideas and my fabrics in hand I sit down and design my collection. I then usually make my patterns by hand and sometimes use the draping technique!
What inspired your fall 2012 collection?
My trip to Aspin, France! I was inspired by the wilderness and the beautiful mountains.
How would you describe your style in three words?
Comfortable, nostalgic and quality
Who is your style icon?
Vanessa Paradis- I love her style!
Tell us something about yourself that people don’t know about you?
I’m a shy person and have always used fashion has an outlet to express myself.
FInally, show us your favourite piece from your Fall collection!
Here is Vero wearing it!
