I wore this casual look for brunch last Saturday. Fall in California is a beautiful thing because I can pretty much wear a cardigan over my summer clothes and call it an outfit. Its so refreshingly easy.

reminiscent
I spent the entire day on set yesterday and while I wasn’t able to take picture in costume, I snapped some shots with my iphone in 60s hair and makeup. The clothes in the pictures are of what I wore on the way to set, before changing into wardrobe – casual and simple. After they finished with me in the hair and makeup truck, I spent as long as I possibly could in my own clothes because I knew that once that stretch-less, fitted, vintage dress comes on, that’s it for my sense of comfort. It was within this time window that this mini-photo-shoot took place. So in a way, by default, this post ends up being a marriage of the vintage and the contemporary; the old and the new.
beach bum
We began our second day in LA with the breakfast of champions – spicy fajitas and beer. The rest of the day consisted of bumming around the Manhattan beach and then getting to now the Sunset Blvd. I wanted to feel relaxed and comfortable so I layered one lemon coloured loose top over another and finished the look off with my linen shorts and nude platforms – easy, breezy.
A Bohemian Touch
Today’s look-of-the-day is my take on Boho. The aesthetic synthesis we now recognize as the ‘Bohemian style’ has gypsy roots and is often associated with unconventional, artistic lifestyles. Keeping these two facts in mind is particularly helpful when constructing a boho look because they trigger a multitude of mental images and direct associations. Ask yourself the question of ‘what would a gypsy girl wear?’ and you’ll know immediately weather a certain garment qualifies. Their usual characteristics are: (a) loose fit, (b) natural materials, (c) muted tones, (d) flowy silhouettes, and (e) an abundance of accessories.
March Dreaming
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 speed up the warming process…a little backwards don’t you think. This look-of-a-day illustrates some of that reluctance because despite all of the brown tones I still avoided layering the Michael Kors top over something simple and long-sleeve, as I would have normally done.
