LETTER FROM THE EDITOR It’s been quite a winter, hasn’t it? Between the holiday Ice Storm, the never-ending Polar Vortex, the frost quakes and countless blizzards, I can hardly wait to pack away my boots, chunky sweaters, parkas and mittens – which says a lot, since I genuinely LOVE fall and winter fashion! However, as we finally spring forward, I’m dreaming of florals, soft pinks and nudes, nautical stripes, beautiful skirts, open-toed shoes... all the popular trends for the coming months. Spring signifies new beginnings, and in this issue of Gorgeous we’re updating how we share seasonal trends with our readers. Our goal is not to suggest a wardrobe overhaul, but simply to offer tips and tricks to easily freshen up your closet for spring. Our team has taken great care in curating a collection of looks, merchandise, beauty tips and articles to help you ease into a new season. Whether you’re in your 20s and starting a new job, or in your 60s and want to look age-appropriately chic, this issue will help you find a personal style that reflects who you are, and most importantly, makes YOU feel GORGEOUS! In May, Upper Canada Mall turns forty – and the mall has never looked better or had a brighter future! Giving back to our community has always been at the foundation of what we do, and to celebrate this milestone we’ll be honouring 40 individuals who have made significant contributions to their communities. Be sure to visit our website for full details. We’ve also refreshed our Gorgeous blog and website, where you’ll find even more content and style advice, including how-to videos from our Gorgeous stylist and make-up & hair artist, and blogs on current events and fashion finds inside the mall. Just for fun, we’ll also post quizzes and conversation starters. For instance, if you were a shoe, which one would you be? We love to hear from you, so please visit us at Gorgeous.UpperCanadaMall.com and tell us about what makes you feel Gorgeous, or what the word Gorgeous means to you.

Be A Natural Beauty The secret to achieving a flawless, natural look is that it takes a little work. A couple of quick tips include using a pencil to ‘draw in’ eyebrow hairs rather than fill the shape completely, and use a clear lip gloss on the cheekbone to get that dewy fresh look. Visit Gorgeous.UpperCanadaMall.com to watch our ‘How-To’ video with Make-Up Artist Yasmin, as she walks you through all the steps to getting this gorgeous, natural look. 14

Idyllic Weekend THE
One of the loveliest ways to spend a sunny summer weekend is at the cottage. Hikes, a dip to cool off after lying in the sun, a lazy afternoon with a good book, and an evening of food, drinks and music on the deck into the wee hours can make a getaway feel like a full-fledged vacation. What will you pack in your ‘weekender’ bag?

THE LONG & SHORT OF IT
This is a great season for skirts. In fact, it can almost be overwhelming when you can choose from mini, long, just above the knee, just under the knee, pleated, straight, pencil, tulip, gathered and more. Gorgeous Stylist Timothy Hung to the rescue! Here are Tim’s suggestions for the ideal skirt for each body type. Visit our blog at Gorgeous.UpperCanadaMall.com for videos and more how-to’s!
BODY TYPE:
Hourglass Lots of curves are a beautiful thing, so show them off! This style of skirt will help you make the most of your assets.
Navy Midi skirt Aritzia

BODY TYPE:
Banana This girl is more straight up and down than curves and this blue-green bold print mini skirt would make a great choice to show off her legs. To make them look their longest, we will say it again – nude heels! Graphic miniskirt H&M
BODY TYPE:
Pear
For the girl with lovely, shapely hips, this soft pleated skirt flows over the hips and has such elegant movement. You’ll get so many compliments, you might want it in more colours! Pink Pleated Skirt H&M
BODY TYPE:
Apple Stripes and a nautical flair are a wonderful fit for anyone’s closet this season. If you have a larger bust, this skirt’s stripes feature a darker waistband which will bring attention to the waist.

Pick of the
CROP The crop top is on point as one of the season’s hottest looks. And speaking of crops, it’s often the little things that can have a big impact. The red belt on this outfit adds the ‘wow’ factor, and the black hat adds a little something special.

BEHIND THE SCENES The definition of shoot week? Organized chaos. All the pre-production, product pulls, decisions on trends, hair and make-up, and ultimately the looks for the ‘hero’ shots for the magazine come together in a frenzy of what feels like a beehive that someone just disrupted. With too many lattes and sweets fuelling the studio full of people, everyone seems to find their place in the rhythm of the long days – all in search of the perfect way to show you the gorgeous retailers at Upper Canada Mall.
