‘Look of the Day’ Archives
Double Take
Hello my lovlies, I was called in to work on Tuesday to do photo-doubling for Naomi Watts. For those of you who are not familiar with what that would entail, the idea is basically to make me look as similar to the actress as possible. For example, in the event that there wasn't enough time to shoot wide shots of a scene or they need close up on hands or legs, they call me. While in ...
HAUS Alert
Hello dear fashionistas, On Saturday a bunch of us went to a grand opening party for a new store on Bloor St. West called HAUS. It's "the only concept store where local and international designers and artists alike showcase their pieces through the vision of HAUS." At the party I had the pleasure of meeting its two charming owners William and Rachel. Rachel told me about the vision behind this ...
Happy Women’s Day Fashionistas!
Hello dear ladies, Our day has finally come! We only have 24 hours to celebrate our womanhood so enjoy every second of it. Today's look-of-the-day is my little gift to you all. BTW, the last picture is a vintage, Russian, March 8th postcard that says, "Freedom from kitchen slavery." Amen to that sistas!!! What I'm wearing: Silk dress by "NOUGAT" Silk jacket by "ETRO" Nude tights ...
Hush
Hello dear visitors, I checked out a new play at the Tarragon Theatre on friday night called Hush. It seemed to possess a bit of surrealist and even Freudian thematic undercurrents as it explored the threshold between dreams and reality. This play was the first Tarragon show for my mom and I really wanted her to like it. Ironically enough, at the end of the play, she was the only one fully ...
With Love
Hello, To me, March 6th is a special day for a number of reasons. On March 6th (1853) Giuseppe Verdi's opera, La Traviata, received its premiere performance in Venice. La Traviata is my favorite opera of all time, and after its premier on March 6th the world became just a little more beautiful and brilliant. On March 6th (1869) Dmitri Mendeleev presented the first periodic table to the ...
Silk Cello
Hello Hello, Today's look-of-the-day carries a musical theme, with an almost romantic air to it. After the Russian sauna, I went to a house party last night. It was being hosted by my brother, Taras and one of his friends - a professional cello player, Min. Wine, cheese, hookah, and heated debates on the topic of 'free will vs. determinism' made the party engaging and relaxing at the same ...
Silver & Green
Olah amigos? The pictures for today's look-of-the-day were taken from one of my trips to Santa Clara, Cuba (2008). This is an evening look that I wore to dinner and then to a patio jazz-bar of the resort. With the exception of the accessories, this entire outfit consists of Marciano garments. Generally, a lot of my vacation clothes are Marciano; probably because their style is appropriately ...
Development
Hello fashionistas, I am only posting Wednesday's look-of-the-day now because I ended up being busier than expected. The beginning of spring seems to be propelling plans into action and turning stagnant procrastinations into developments. It's the season when new ideas bloom. I've always noticed how the energy of the city shift when people begin to sense spring in the air. It wakes Canadians ...
Patent It!
Hello my lovelies, I really patented-it-up for this look-of-the-day. I've been waiting to wear this jacket for a while now and today's decent weather finally permitted the materialization of my modest desire. I generally love large, high collars and I especially appreciate well-constructed ones that stay up as intended. The texture of the patent leather allows the collar on this jacket to stay ...
March Dreaming
Hey guys, It's finally March! We made it to spring my friends. I just wish that it would automatically mean that we could start wearing spring clothes but the weather in Toronto still leaves something to be desired. I am beginning to run out of ideas for winter looks, or maybe I've just developed some sort of a subconscious reluctance towards winter clothes. As though it's going to somehow ...
