I have always been obsessed with clothes for as long as I can remember. When I loved something, I really loved it! A real passion for fashion – pardon the cliche – but the shoe fits. One of my first obsessive fashion episodes was around the age of 7. My parents bought me a pair of Lilac suede t-strap shoes and I flipped when I saw them – but there was a catch, I couldn’t wear them out until Easter Sunday, the longest 2 weeks of my life! So I wore them around the house every chance I got to “break them in”. I was so in love with these shoes, I never wanted to take them off, not even at bedtime. My mother wasn’t having it and convinced me otherwise, a.k.a take them off now or else…so off they came 
Fast forward to my latest obsession; women’s ties. Particularly those made by Mélodie Pilon, the founder and designer of Melodie Ties for Her. Coincidentally, she is an ex-Montrealer turned Torontonian like moi (she too saw the light!). A former Product Marketing Manager for Chanel, and my 6 degrees of separation to Monsieur Lagerfeld, Mélodie decided to take her love of fashion in a new direction and created this beautiful accessory.
The ties are made of Italian silk and the designs are gorgeous. I love how she took something traditionally masculine and transformed it into a sexy and feminine accessory. A look that’s right up my alley, tailored and très très chic.
How would you wear these lovely ties? Check out the pictures below. I put together a few looks for ya. Hope they inspire you!
