Pick of the Day!

The Fashion Crimes pick of the day is the ever amazing ivory ostrich feather skirt. This original piece from Pam Chorley is definitely a traffic stopper, especially when paired with a waist cincher in baroque fabric! And there are always so many choices at Fashion Crimes; the skirt also is available in black feathers (click HERE to view the black version) and the waist cincher comes in many different fabrics as well. We even have one with little teapots on it! Trust me ladies, you will feel great in this outfit; you'll stand taller (the cincher won't let you slouch!) and with the soft feathers of the skirt hitting you're legs, you will look and most importantly feel like a million bucks (without having to spend anywhere near that much!).

Pick of the Day!

The new wire loop cluster ring makes the Fashion Crimes pick of day! This is one of the many amazing pieces that arrived into the shop last Friday. We love it because it's adjustable to any finger size, it is totally unique, and white is always a good color to have in a ring to complete a Summer outfit, while looking great moving into Fall too. The only place to find this is Fashion Crimes, so we'll see you there (remember we are open the civic holiday, Mon, Aug 1 from 12pm - 5pm!).

Pick of the Day!

The rose crochet, cap sleeve dress is one of the many new pieces that hit the shelves at Fashion Crimes yesterday. This particular dress is an all around crowd pleaser; nicely fitted, not too short, great fabric, and it also comes in black. Here, we have added a brown leather, Canadian-made belt (currently on sale for 30% off!) to create a toned down, less formal look.

So much amazing jewellery and head pieces arrived at Fashion Crimes yesterday; from Marilyn Monroe necklaces to feather flower hair clips to black lace clutches to......well, you are just going to have to come in and see for yourself! In the meantime, we have pictured here some of the many necklaces to just come in the store; a rhinestone rose pendant, followed by an adorable unicorn and friends necklace, and a mini pocket watch with glass cover. These pieces are a great addition to any outfit, whether layered or worn on it's own. So on this glorious long weekend (we are open on the civic holiday, Monday, Aug 1 from 12pm - 5pm), take a stroll on Queen West, drop into Fashion Crimes, and have some fun!

Pick of the Day!

This entire look makes up the Fashion Crimes pick of the day! What you are seeing here is the Jezebel Micro Mini dress in bambi print cotton layered with a great boyfriend blazer. It adds a wonderful contrast to the dress, creating a more sleek, sophisticated look against the playfulness of the pink cotton. We also added a stretch cummerbund studded belt (which is on sale for 50% off) for that desired hint of rock and roll!

Keeping with the theme of nature and all things adorable, this look has multiple pendant necklaces. Starting from the top, we chose a 3 bird drop necklace, followed by a cute tree pendant with little birds dangling from it, and an awesome bird cage charm with a little green bird on the inside! This is just a taste of the wonderfully unusual jewellery Fashion Crimes has to offer, and with new stock arriving every day the selection just keeps on growing....

Pick of the Day!

Today's pick are our adorable Sissy Pants! These sexy pin-up style undies come in black, white, red, and pink and provide full coverage in case you find yourself in a Marilyn moment (more than once I personally have given the city of Toronto quite the show when an untimely gust of wind sent my skirt to my face!). Also, they are great when paired with a cute crinoline, which also come in the same colour scheme. So ladies, next time you have a No Pants No Problem party to attend, be sure to stop by Fashion Crimes to get the most stylish underwear out there. And boys, any girlfriend would be thrilled to find these under her pillow....just sayin'.

Pick of the Day!

The Fashion Crimes pick of the day is dedicated to our couture line! The dresses you see here are all made from limited fabrics produced in Paris, and of course are all manufactured down the street at our busy studio. Each dress is paired with a Fashion Crimes waist cincher in various fabrics, including a leaf brocade, leopard sequin, and baroque fabric (black brocade on white background), as well as a fabulous venetian mask that I have talked about in previous blog posts. Doesn't this picture make you want to go out and crash a random masquerade ball? Or is that just me?

From left, Jezebel Tivoli in black plume fabric with leo sequin waist cincher, Heartini dress in black storm cloud with leaf brocade cincher, the bow baby bow Venus Tivoli, the Jezebel Empire Circle dress with baroque corset, and the Jezebel Tivoli in garden rose fabric.

The bow baby bow Venus Tivoli was modeled by Olympic medalist Ashleigh McIvor at the Heart Truth fashion show last year, an event in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. She helped out a great cause, and looked beautiful doing so!

Pick of the Day!

The Fashion Crimes pick of the day are these awesome wooden bangles! They are everything you would want in a summer accessory; they are big and chunky, they come in 4 fantastic colours, and they are on SALE! I knew that would get your attention; come on in and get yourself one or two or four for 50% off!

Sharron Matthews Super Star

Fashion Crimes and Sharron Matthews go together like chocolate and peanut butter, which makes it a joy to exclusively style the beautiful, hilarious cabaret singer whenever she performs. Currently, she is on her Jesus Thinks I'm Funny tour, and just finished up a show last weekend at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, where she aptly rocked Fashion Crimes attire. Pictured below, Sharron is wearing a Jezebel Tivoli dress in aquatic dupioni accessorized with a peacock feather collar, both original designs of Pam Chorley. Also, we blinged up the actress in gold jewellery, including the rhinestone covered Superhero cuff and gem rose cocktail ring. Next stop for Sharron? Scotland, followed by an appearance in London, where she has received rave reviews for her past performances.

And as if that wouldn't be a full workload for the average gal, Sharron is also a vocal coach on the new series Canada Sings, which premieres on Wednesday, August 3rd on GlobalTV. Once again, Fashion Crimes was thrilled to provide the wardrobe and accessories, and as per the usual, Sharron looks stunning!

Oh how we love Sharron! Here she is donning the Jezebel Tivoli dress in ultraviolet dupioni paired with a black dupioni bolero. The overstated cocktail ring and rhinestone bib style necklace are all from Fashion Crimes as well. We absolutely love the "of course I'm fabulous" pose in this picture, it is so Sharron!

Pictured below are the four vocal coaches filming one of many promos for Canada Sings. Sharron is wearing one of Fashion Crimes' signature designs in a plum and black passementerie fabric paired with a black dupioni shrug. To create a more formal look, crystal accessories were used; a swarovski crystal necklace and crystal fringe cuff. Sharron clearly makes our job easy, she needs to add modeling to her portfolio! We love you! Mwah!!

Pick of the Day!

The Fashion Crimes pick of the day is the incredible 6-Way Dress! Despite it's name, the dress can be tied over 25 different ways; you just need to get creative. Today we have posted front and back images of 5 different ways to wear it, with each one completely transforming the dress! Everyone of us here at Fashion Crimes has one of these beauties in our closet because they are so versatile, easy to maintain, and best of all, comfortable. This dress is the perfect go-to dress,
as it can be worn casually or to a formal event.

Brides! This is the brides maid dress you have been looking for. You can have your girls wear all them same colour tied up in different styles, or pick a different colour for each dress and tie them all up the same. What makes this dress perfect: your brides maids will easily get more use of the dress, as they will surely wear it again after your special day instead of it living in a garment bag in the closet. Trust me, they will be grateful you opted out of the puffy sleeve,
barbie pink floor length gown!
