I made the Top 20!!!

Well you could have knocked me over with a feather when I got the call from the W Network letting me know that I made the Top 20 in their Experts Search!!!! With just a day or so notice, I had to whip together my challenge - to take 2 women from day to night with just the accessories that could fit in their work tote. A cinch!

The lovely producer & camera man came to film it here in the showroom yesterday and boy was it fun. Hard work and I loved it! Closely followed up with an appearance this morning on CHCH Morning Live, my head can barely fit through the door. Where's my closeup Mr. Demille????

Lola & Gigi's 1st Anniversary Party Nov 1st!!

W Network Expert Search

We had such great fun shooting some footage for a series of "My Shape" videos several weeks ago that I decided to go ahead and submit a short version to the W Network Expert Search Contest.

You have until Oct 26th to view all the videos and rate them, and then the W Network chooses 20 semi-finalists who will get a shot at appearing on TV.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Falling in Love with Fall!

Well we had a hoot at the Lola & Gigi fall shoot on Labour Day (yes, no rest for the well dressed!). The lovely Cindy (a former Miss Plus Canada) and the stunning Jennifer (yes, she was on X-Weighted) did an amazing job as usual.

We really felt like they were channeling one of our new fav TV shows, Mad Men, in a lot of these pics. I love the mod 60s London look that Cindy is channeling in this Melissa Masse Tammy dress and they are both totally rocking one of the biggest fall trends - the colour purple!

Many many thanks to Carolyn of Trove, the grooviest accessories store in Toronto for the loan of the gorgeous jewelery & funky hats. The looks wouldn't have been complete without them!

Props to Gary Golberg of Fast Focus Productions for his amazing artistry behind the lens.

This is just a sneak peak - much more to come!

Lola & Gigi In the People Style Watch Magazine!

I was at the grocery store the other day picking up my Sunny Bears (like gummy bears only much much yummier!) and I decided to pick up the latest copy of People Style Watch magazine. Queen Latifah was on the cover and I must admit that she is one of my style icons (many is the day I wake up and think "what would Queen Latifah wear?").

While leafing through to check out what the Queen was up to, I was thrilled to see none other than Lolaandgigi.com listed in the "Shop Online for Plus" pink box! What an honour! I have to admit there was a little bit of screaming going on. In case you didn't catch it, here it is!

Loving My New Corso Como Caroline Boots!

I just received my new Corso Como Caroline Boots from Barefoot Tess! They are so buttery soft, the heel is the perfect height and they are super comfortable with extra gel cushioning in the sole. Love the ruching detail & the pointed toe. High style & high comfort - what more can a girl ask for! Size 13 shoes never looked this good.

I can't wait to wear them this fall with my fabulous Cate trouser jean (tall inseam of course to accommodate the 3" heel!). I might also try the dress/opaque tight look that I'm seeing all over the place this fall. We'll see how brave I feel.
