And so my fleeting love afair with Philly continues. The grad school open-house finished by 5 and we were free to explore a different aspect of what the city had to offer. I guess you could call this the “lifestyle portion” of our ‘research.’ After we got back to the hotel, I quickly changed into something [...]

Today’s look-of-the-day is of the outfit I wore to the school open-house and reception. It was sunny and beautiful that day but still a little chilly, so I paired my cream Robert Rodriguez dress with a large pocket spring coat and a pastel blue cashmere cardigan. The schedule of the open-house was pretty intensive but [...]

So, I went on yet another road trip this weekend. Our trip to Philadelphia and New York was so action filled that I didn’t get a chance to make any posts while I was away…but I did take pictures! The visit was intended for both work (another grad school open-house) and pleasure, while it primarily [...]

Today’s look-of-the-day is an eclectic collection of natural fabrics and materials in earthy tones. The inspiration behind it was the newly acquired Eskadar necklace made out of Paxiuba seeds. Its simplicity and primitiveness give it an exotic, unaffected feel and I wanted to play on that. In effect, this quality established a thematic base for [...]

Today’s look-of-the-day is of what I wore last night to a show at the Factory Theatre. I loved the silhouette produced by the crinoline Zac Posen blouse when paired with a form-fitting tank. It highlights the outlines of the figure in a subtle, understated way. To finish the look, I threw the Proenza Schouler jacket [...]

Today’s look-of-the-day is of the outfit I wore on the way back to Toronto. As fun as our trip had been I was ready to come home because, quite honestly, it was also pretty tiring. It was my first time wearing the LnA zipper leggings when traveling and they were unsurprisingly perfect for the occasion. [...]

As part of this road-trip, the second school to visit on our agenda was located in State College, Pennsylvania. The town is economically and demographically dominated by the presence of the main campus of the Penn State University. The disproportionate presence of young people manifestly dictates its general atmosphere in every regard. As I was [...]

What I found to be most impressionable about Cleveland had less to do with the city itself or even the school I visited than with its people. I was in complete awe of how genuinely friendly and pleasant everyone was. It’s probably the most welcoming city I’ve ever been to and the best part is [...]

My parents and I are driving out to Cleveland today for my first grad school open house. So far it has been a fun little road-trip, with periodic stops for tea refills and a few pictures for today’s post. My mom bought these handy porcelain travel cups (I’m holding it in one of the pictures) that [...]

I had been looking for a well-fitting pair of skinny leather pants and yesterday I finally found them at Club Monaco. I knew the moment had finally come as soon as I finished squeezing into them in the change room and looked in the mirror . The sales girl assured me that they would stretch [...]
