Canadians are melting the snow with their fashion choice

Micro Boxer Brief Underwear by Calvin Klein Steel
$26.00
Buy Now

Arabella suspender belt by Freya
$40.00
Buy Now


It's obvious, Canadians are totally into stylish and cool underwear. This Arabella suspender has been on the top of the girls' list for more than two weeks, moving up and down but always coming back to the top. And these Calvin's are just one of the many other briefs and boxers picked by the guys as top items. So next time you see a girl or a guy in a boring winter jacket zipped up to their eyes, don't judge them by 'their cover'. Think for a moment what those feather or fleece layers might be hiding?

Girls and guys in Sweden prefer black

Stretch Satin Criss Cross Waist Dress by Anne Klein Dress
$142.40 On Sale (from $178.00)
Buy Now



Black cotton button neck hoodie by Cohesive
$52.00
Buy Now

Black is the dominant top fashion item colour choice of the Swedish girls and guys these days. Is that the sign of their aiming for sophisticated elegance or it's that the cold winter has a "gray" influence on their colour choice...I'd go for the first: a conscience and 'no risk' decision as black could never be out of fashion. What do you think?

Zara Spring/Summer 2010





Zara is always great for on-trend fast fashion. I have a method to my fast-fashion shopping, however. The key is to buy non-descript basics from these types of stores. That way, you never have the problem of running into someone else wearing the same thing! I like to make the basics my own, with some high end, good quality investment pieces and some unique vintage. This Zara collection for spring/summer 2010 is full of amazing basics to keep you current and on trend....now how will you make them your own?

Spanish guys' choice: calm and casual

Two Pocket Washed Polo by Kenneth Cole
$59.5
Buy Now


Guys in Spain go relaxed according to their top item choice. This 100% cotton polo shirt by Kenneth Cole must feel great on the body and its blue colour only gives a calmly look in spite of the shirt's army-style details (it's hard to notice, but the polo comes with button flap pockets and shoulder epaulets)

Swiss girls love bright summer look

Tiered Jersey Dress by Juicy Couture
$168.00
Buy Now


This is the top item choice of the girls in Switzerland. Very light and floaty, this Juicy Couture dress is so brightly orange and simply calling for the summer to come sooner. Not to mention the reasonable price.
