We hung out at the Lotus Leaf semi-annual Press Days event this past week, and got to see the fall/winter 2014 collections from some of our favourite brands, all while enjoying delicious treats and drinks! Check out some of my favourite pieces from the brands that were featured below. I warn you, I kind of went crazy in the Dr. Martens section, there were just too many great shoes, and I need all of them!

You may have many reasons to wear a dress. The question is, does your dress have many reasons to be worn? Buying a ball gown, for example, is great if you attend a lot of black tie events, but what if you want a dress that will not be buried in your closet most of the year? A midi dress, which is a dress long enough to extend beyond your knees without touching the ground, can often work as semi-formal wear and double as a casual outfit for friendly gatherings. Just make sure the dress you choose compliments your body. For example, a waistline tied with a sash and some high heels can help you look taller. A longer midi dress with no heels is better when you are tall and want to draw attention away from your height.
