A tongue-in-cheek side-by-side comparison of style in two great cities. Have fun!
| TORONTO | DALLAS | |
|
Makeup |
Very little, au naturel | Lots! Especially this airbrushed effect that looks so artificial. Stepford Wives, anyone? |
|
Hair |
What hair? | Big Southern hair. Dolly Parton’s wannabes. |
|
Fashion trends |
None really stands out, except in shops. Or ski boots and parkas in winter. Or hijabs and saris in certain areas (not really a fashion trend, I know, but that’s what women wear) | Women follow trends to a T (whether they should is a different kettle of fish). Some really shouldn’t. Middle aged women do like their Capri pants. |
|
Cosmetic surgery |
None | Fake boob and Botox central |
|
Nails |
Natural | Long, fake talons |
|
Colours |
Subdued. Black is a favourite, especially in the colder months. | Lots of pink |
|
Summer footwear of choice |
Teens seem to favour Uggs (beats me why) | Flip flops galore (all year round) |
|
Jewellery |
Small, discrete (if any) | Big and bold |
Me encanta…¡es como si lo estuviera viendo! Gracias por este momento encantador.

Posted by Ana | August 30, 2010, 9:15 pmHilarious! I’ve never been to Toronto, but as a true southern girl, yes, to the ubiquity big hair and trends to a T. Que horror!
Posted by Wendy | August 31, 2010, 7:14 amThanks for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed the post
Posted by Ana | August 31, 2010, 7:46 amMuuuuy bueno! No he estado en ninguno de estos dos lugares, pero pega perfectamente con el preconcepto que una tiene! En cierta forma se podría aplicar al contraste entre los estilos aquí en el este (granjeril) de Holanda y Buenos Aires
A cuál grupo pertenecerías vos? jeje
Saludos!
Posted by Aledys Ver | August 31, 2010, 8:32 amNice post dear, you have done good comparison between the two..Well i have never been to Toronto and Dallas. But whenever i will go to these places i will definitely look for these differences..
Posted by London Paris Train | September 1, 2010, 3:16 amSo so true. Except that teens in Dallas wear Uggs with tiny little nike shorts from Fall till Spring. Not summer of course. And it’s a complete contradiction to wear Uggs with sports shorts. They do it anyways. It’s ridiculous.

Posted by Ana | September 2, 2010, 1:56 pmHey Ana! I’ve enjoyed reading this comparison. Big southern hair sounds really peculiar
Posted by Marta | September 3, 2010, 6:59 amThanks! It was fun to write so I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Posted by Ana | September 4, 2010, 5:50 pmIt’s pretty remarkable how different two cities on the same continent can be. Everything is bigger in Texas.
Posted by Suzy | September 12, 2010, 5:32 pmIndeed! Everything is bigger in Texas :0. Thanks for stopping by.
