I can’t wait to play around with texture juxtaposition this spring – mixing soft and feminine with tough, waist-attenuating leather. This post is part one of my pre-spring experiment. A sheer chiffon blouse worn over a polka dot pink bra and tucked into a leather pleated mini.

This is just a quick mid-week post of an outfit I wore to brunch in Korea. As the Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney Fall Collections evinced, polka dots are back this season.
inspiration: fall 2011
Now that summer is officially over its time to step into fall. What better way to do that than in something inspired and daring. This post is meant to provide some material for you ladies to work with. It comprises my favourite looks from the Fall 2011 Collections of some of my favourite designers. It also lists prominent trends for the season below the images. Enjoy my lovelies.
Street Fashion Week Game
I got a message from sweet Maria, of Chicisimo, asking me to be a co-organizer of a “Street Fashion Week” game. I’m not impartial to fun little challenges like these, especially when they are fashion related, so naturally I had to take part. And I think you should too! The premise of the game is to show what you would wear to Fashion Week in your country. The look with the highest number of votes will get a beautiful flower bouquet and will be featured throughout Chicisimo. This is a stylish and fun “competition” among countries all over the world and it would be amazing if a Canadian fashionista would win, so lets get to representin’.
behind the scenes
Yesterday I did some modeling for Foxy Originals upcoming catalogue and I snapped a few behind-the-scens shots to share with you guys. The shoot had a Burlesque theme to it so my makeup and hair was very big and bold for most of it. Unfortunately my sidekick photographer (aka. mama) wasn’t there to take pictures of me in wardrobe, so it’ll have to wait until the catalogue comes out. But one of the super sweet owners/jewellery designers of Foxy, Suzie, snapped this shot of me before we got started. The flash of my camera triggered all of the flashes in the studio and vuala…I’m a Burlesque librarian in heaven. Thanks Suzie and Jen for making the shoot so laid-back and cool for everyone, and that pizza was delish!
