The lovely dress seen on Leah has a scoop back, is covered in tiger stripe sequins, and falls just above the knee. She certainly did justice to this piece; she looks gorgeous!!

60's Inspired Wedding With A Little Help From Fashion Crimes

On this most love-filled of days (Happy Valentine's Day y'all!), I thought it was more than fitting to introduce you to Rebecca Dreiling and her new hubby Michael Thomas. This gorgeous bride was in search of non-conventional, vintage inspired wedding attire, and found exactly that in the Fashion Crimes venetian lace Demure Sleeve dress. The couple looked jaw dropping, so it is no surprise the pair made an appearance on the Wedding Bells website. Click HERE to view more photos of the babe duo on their special day (all images are courtesy of Sarah e. Evans Photography). Congratulations to you both; we wish you a long life together filled with love and fashion!

Pick of the Day!

The Fashion Crimes' pick of the day consists of two stunning red carpet looks. On the left we have our fuchsia strapless, satin gown accessorized with a black bow belt, handmade crystal necklace, black fox fur stole, and topped off with a lace bunny ear headband! The dress on the right is one of Fashion Crimes' couture pieces; a Black Tie dress in bow baby bow fabric. This elaborate dress requires very little accessories, so for this look only a gold crystal cluster necklace was added. In this case, less is more! With Spring just around the corner (hurry, please!), we are already getting in lots of new stock. The early bird catches the worm, so come on over and get first dibs!!

Pretty In Hot Pink

Attention all brides to be: take a lesson from Vanessa Lent; you do not need an ivory or white dress to be a beautiful bride! She wore a stunning strapless, silk organza gown in an eye popping fuchsia paired with a multi-coloured crystal necklace that she found at Fashion Crimes. We are all in love with Vanessa's ensemble (you look gorgeous!!), and how much do you love her dashing groom, Nathan? Suspenders, plaid pants, skinny tie, all topped off with a knuckle bump! You two make an adorable couple; congratulations and we wish you all the happiness in the world!

Pick of the Day!

Not only is this fashion piece popular with our beloved prom girls, but they are quite coveted amongst our birthday girls too! These strapless dresses are covered in sequins and beads, have a corseted top for added security (plus it creates a beautiful silhouette), and has a built in crinoline for a 'fun' and sexy look (think Carrie Bradshaw).

Pictured above, we have added a brown fox fur stole (click HERE to learn more about how fur is green), 7 crystal and chain necklace (designed by the incredibly talented Brienna Delorey), and a feathered poppy headband to the red dress. We accessorized the pink piece with a black lace shrug (a brand new addition to the Fashion Crimes repertoire, which I personally purchased immediately!), gold mesh bib necklace, and pink fascinator. These are just 2 examples as to how to accessorize these show stopping dresses; come on in to the boutique and we'll show you many more options! Let's play dress up together!!

How can you not smile when you're wearing a crinoline?

Pick of the Day!

One of our amazing stylists, Emily, is modelling 2 new pieces to enter the Fashion Crimes realm. Beautiful gem drop earrings and a stunning tear gem cluster necklace instantly turns her 6 way convertible dress into red carpet material!

Here Emily is showing off one of our hottest new items, and just as we thought people are going crazy for them; the bendy polka dot head wrap. These satin polka dot hair accessories have a wire on the inside, so you can easily create this look in seconds, no tying necessary! They come in a variety of colour combinations, including black/white, pink/white, tan/brown (my personal favourite!), and green/navy. The hardest part will be choosing the colours you like best! Also note the gorgeous layered pearl and chain necklace she is wearing; one of the hundreds of elegant necklaces we have to offer.

Double The Fashion. Double The Fun!

I (Melissa) attended my beautiful cousin Danielle's wedding over the holidays in wonderful Newfoundland, so when packing I made sure to include lots of Fashion Crimes dresses. It's a good thing I did, because my twin sister Meleny saw my electric blue strapless dress and suddenly the "what to wear?" question was answered.

Pictured above is my gorgeous sister completely owning the look with the electric blue dress (don't worry, I took it back when I left for Toronto!), wire cuff bracelet, and jet gem necklace. I am wearing one of Fashion Crimes' newest styles, the Drew Stretch in sheer passemeterie fabric over yellow lining, with my killer rhinestone owl ring and bronze dipped oak leaf earrings. It was a fantastic night, once again reaffirming that Newfie weddings are my favourite kind of weddings!

Christmas 2011 Window

The one thing you can always count on when the Fashion Crimes window goes up is that it will be unique and wonderfully unconventional. Instead of sticking with the typical red and green colour scheme, Kat McEwen (our lovely/brilliant Creative Director) created a "Canadiana" Christmas. This display is packed with elaborate fascinators, stunning dresses (including a Jezebel Micro Mini in deer print fabric!), and beautiful furs. In order to appreciate the awesomeness that is this window display, you simply have to come by and see for yourself......and you can enjoy some fabulous SALES while you're here!

Remembering TIFF

We promised there would be more pictures, and now they are finally here (if you need a refresher of this amazing night click HERE!). Fashion Crimes was the official clothing sponsor of the Art of Sound TIFF reception, dressing all of the beautiful ladies of WIFT.

Hotness overload! All the dresses you see above are from the one and only Fashion Crimes. From left; a Hepbourne dress in stretch python fabric, a fern bee Jezebel Tivoli, a gold lace Demure Sleeve dress, the Jezebel Micro Mini in amazing claw sequin fabric, a black satin Audrey Sheath, a black velvet Knotty dress, an Oscar dress in black taffeta, a metallic floral print strapless dress (it has pockets!!), and finally a black Dream Girl dress. Phew! That's a whole lot of pretty in a row, and also note that all the accessories shown are from Fashion Crimes.

Here we are with the babes of Magneta Lane; Fashion Crimes friends who make awesome music (and if you haven't heard their sound, you simply must. Click HERE for a taste!). From left; Tiffany in a black Tivoli Gown paired with a baroque Waist Cincher, myself (Melissa) in a black sequin Tied Up Mini, Kat rocking a jet sequin Demure Sleeve dress, Nadia (who gets my vote for the cutest drummer in the history of rock and roll) in the Madonna dress, the incredibly stylish Kevin (loving that fedora!), lead singer Lexi looking like a babe in a sheer sleeve tunic style dress (which we like to call the Stevie Nicks dress, and is also available in beige), and the always beautiful French who is the bass player for Magneta Lane.

One last shot of the Fashion Crimes management team! Thanks once again to WIFT for having us. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it!

DJ Rashida In Fashion Crimes At Prince After Party!

Last week we gave you a preview of the impromptu photo shoot Cha Cha had with the ever so lovely DJ Rashida, who was currently in town touring with Prince (yes that's right, the Prince!!). Much celebrating was in order, as both shows received rave reviews, so of course there was a lavish after party. It warms our heart to no extent to see DJ Rashida looking stunning in a Fashion Crimes 6 way dress tied in a one shoulder Grecian style, with one of our many jewelled hair pieces to top off the look. Positively gorgeous!

This dress is a staple for the entire Fashion Crimes family. It comes in over 10 different colours, and you can tie it in dozens of ways (don't let the 6-way name limit you!). Not only does it look fabulous on any body shape, it is probably one of the most comfortable dresses you will ever wear! Why not come in and get a private tutor session with one of our amazing stylists? It's fun and easy!!
