LOLA’S MARC
If you’ve started humming songs by The Kinks, you are not alone. It is almost impossible to say the name of Marc Jacobs’ newest perfume without stretching it out to “Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola.” The bottle, an ode to Alice in Wonderland-style potions dwarfed by a curvaceous bloom, is 100% girl. But Lola is not just a pretty face. The fragrance embodies the ying and yang of today’s slightly off-kilter beauty. Full of soft aromatic kicks, Lola is a unique blend of floral and musk that is both naughty and nice … sort of the perfume equivalent of blowing a kiss and pinching a bum simultaneously.

OMG! MJ UNDER $100?
Marc by Marc Jacobs has given you a nice juicy reason to visit Holt Renfrew

features quirky prints in vibrant colours in a variety of scarves, leggings,
graphic t-shirts and jackets. With all the pieces under $200 (printed scarf for
$48 anyone?) you can pick up something special and have enough left over to splurge on a glass of wine in Holt’s café.

SHOOTING STAR
If you thought The Devil Wears Prada was fab, the real deal was a new
documentary called The September Issue. See for yourself what it takes to
be, according to a line from the film, “the single most important figure in the
$300-billion global fashion industry.” The camera follows the daily routine of
Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue, while she and her editorial team put together the biggest issue of the magazine yet. Release date is October 23, which will be an official day off at Lush’s fashion department.

FAMILY REUNION
Do we need more proof that the 80’s will be a big trend this fall? Sure, if we
are talking about Claudia, Eva, and Naomi shooting a campaign together
again. This time they reunited for D&G’s latest “Fragrance Anthology” ad
shoot by the legendary Mario Testino. The unisex fragrance collection is
available in five scents to match five archetypes – provocative, irrepressible, sensual, daring and hypnotizing.
