Caroline, Style On The Side: "While I have a lot of hair, it's actually quite fine. This means that with the wrong cut, it looks flat and lifeless. It has taken me a long time to figure this out, but now that I have, I'm able to have a more productive conversation with my stylist." Caroline shares her tips for making fine hair look fuller, here.

Allure Of Simplicity

Aney, Allure Of Simplicity: "Although I despise the cold weather, fall does have its perks, including being able to layer and wear my favourite coats.

REVIEW: Mary Kay Runway Bold Fall 2016 Collection

Kaitlyn Elisabeth Beauty

Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn Elisabeth Beauty: "Now that fall has been around for a little while, I'm more tempted to start playing around with darker hues for my makeup.

FASHION: Rack-worthy FashionCAN looks

STM

Stephen-Thomas, STM: "In Canada, you can spend all your time choosing the right outfit just for it to go to waste buried under a coat.
