This week, Smash + Tess released a capsule collection in collaboration with pop icon Paula Abdul. Designed for those who love to move and groove, the athleisure line features hip-hugging pants, sweat-wicking crop tops and quarter-zip knits. Plus, with pops of colour that have just the right amount of retro flair, you’ll be able to go from the gym to the mall with ease. Perfect for if you’re in a rush, rush (IYKYK).
Forget New Year’s resolutions for a moment, let’s discuss new clothes. H&M Move’s newest launch is a line of seamless activewear products, including jumpsuits, tights, bras and tees. Backed by the brand’s energetic ambassadors — Jane Fonda, Zlatan Ibrahimović, JaQuel Knight and Nadia Nadim — the collection and campaign will surely empower you to move your body in any way that suits you. No resolution required.
The colour pink is having such a moment. Think: Barbiecore, Valentino’s Pink PP collection and, most recently, Pantone’s 2023 Colour of the Year. Now to add to the fun, Canadian label Smythe’s pre-Spring collection zeros in on shades of the playful hue with outerwear, formalwear, suiting separates and a cozy knit sweater. But if pink just isn’t your thing, this drop is dotted with pops of green, crimson and navy, with a handful of items in classic black and grey. Something for everyone!
Before asking yourself what you’d like to see in 2023, maybe ponder *how* you’d like to see. Specs specialist Warby Parker has revealed its new styles for spring and they’re looking très chic. Tapping the Y2K aesthetic with eye-catching frames and arresting colours, this unsung accessory comes to life in the brand’s new star-studded campaign, which features Christina Ricci, Jeremy O. Harris, Arpana Rayamajhi and Henry Eikenberry.
In today’s world, many of us work from wherever. Building off this idea, Vancouver-based, female-owned brand Brunette the Label has partnered with Girlboss on a limited-edition fleet of tracksuits that can quite easily be considered your office hours uniform. Branded with slogans like “Recovering People Pleaser” and “In My Girlboss Era,” the purpose is to give you that extra boost of confidence, support and comfort when chasing your dreams.

When she’s not glued to her Kindle or writing about the next best earrings to hit the market, she’s putting on a pair of tortoise shades and ALD x New Balance sneaks and going for a nature walk — because a mentor and editor once told her that good ideas are always on the other side of a walk.
