I knew that with the arrival of this year's Junctions Arts Festival (with its art-meets-performance-meets-food-meets-street persona) that fashionable people would be out in droves. Who doesn't love barbecued corn? Art and fashion, like music and fashion, will always be intrinsically linked.

We have all heard about these mysterious lounges that pop up during film festivals where celebrities walk in and then walk out with armfuls of free stuff. This year I was able to get a first hand look at what the public doesn't get to see. I received an invite to the Tastemakers Lounge.

It was started in 2005 and it's a product placement company which specializes in gifting lounges and swag bags. Other events they do include the Genies, Gemini Awards and corporate funding events.

I walked up to the Intercontinental and there was a crowd of people standing around, cameras in hand. The celebrity stalkers and paparazzi, I thought to myself - how annoying. I don't understand why anyone not getting paid would hang outside this hotel for hours on end, just to get a glimpse of someone famous.

What's Your Story? features the different characters that roam the streets of Toronto. Every Monday and Thursday, a new person shares their story, likes and dislikes about the city, a little secret and more.

If I could turn a plain black t-shirt into a cute little dress it would take me a few less hours to get ready in the morning! Nati Vanstone combines this simplicity with an ever changing nail colour selection that matched perfectly to a plaid vintage find.

Bright colours from head to toe and mementos as accessories, this teacher in the making won't be your typical high school prof.

Art of Fashion is a non-profit organization that supports and raises funds for emerging Canadian apparel and accessory designers by creating a platform for exposure. Every year, they hold a design and exhibit competition to further their cause.

The theme of this year's competition is Between the Lines, and is described as: "the divide between good and evil, black and white, heaven and hell, dusk and dawn, or even an everyday juxtaposition. It is an exploration that unites cultural, historical, and community boundaries. It is the elements that have helped shape one's own life and the way it ties lives together, bringing life from the past, to the present and into the future. Combining fashion with art gives you, the designer, the chance to create a personal realm that tells your tale and communicates it back to the public. You will be required to explore what lies between your own lines, and bring your personal expression to life through your themed collection and presentation."
