A Bohemian Touch
Hello dear readers, 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 ...
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 ...
Happy Valentine’s Day Fashionistas
Hello darlings, It's the international day of love and another perfect reason for fashionistas to dress up in something beautiful. To celebrate, I decided to come to Montreal, Quebec for the long weekend. Aside from the fact that Montreal is more fun than Toronto and that its European-esque scenery is more conducive to the celebration of Valentine's Day (being more romantic that is), Montreal ...
Dusty Bluish-Grey
Hello my fashion forward friends, I was asked a question recently in relation to sequin dresses and I thought that it might be helpful for me to answer it on the blog. This was the message from one of my YouTube subscribers : "I want to wear a silver clingy, one shoulder sequin dress, but I hate my legs. Would be okay if I wore tall leather boots instead of pumps?" Here was my ...
Inspired Sunday
Hi hi, I'm having a regular chill Sunday but this morning I felt something unusual in the air. I'm not sure what brought it on, probably just the good sleep, but I wanted to do something special with my look today. I bought this Miu Miu skirt on ebay about a year ago and never got a chance to wear it because I had a hard time finding something worthy to pair it with. When thinking about ...
Fur or Faux
Hey guys, I was hesitant in making a look-of-the-day post on the subject of fur because of all the ethical concerns surrounding it. As a person who obviously owns a fur coat I am not going to make any grand statements about where you should stand on the issue; all I can do is speak from experience. Personally I now feel that the perks of a fur coat (its softness, warmth, comfort, and look) ...
Silk Layers
Hello my style-concious friends, Today I'll be doing something I haven't in a while. My trip to the Caribbean has been postponed so I am back in Toronto and ready for the heat...of the Russian banya. I'll be picking up my mom as soon as I finish sharing these thoughts with you guys. I had another one of my minor revelations last night as I was laying in the tub. I know that many immigrants to ...
The Sunday After
Hello, My parents' anniversary party was last night and it was a "great success." My favourite part of dealing with the aftermath of a good dinner-party is all the leftover food. So I'll be heading out to their house soon to give them a hand with this painstaking task :) (someone has to do it). Today's look-of-the-day is of what I was wearing last night. What I wore: Dress by "Robert ...
Green Panther
Hello lovlies, When going out last night I felt like wearing something coquettish and feminine, so I wore a silk top with a high-waisted bubble skirt. But when putting the look together, it felt like the two pieces alone weren't enough. I wanted to give it an edge and that wow-factor; I basically needed a statement piece to complete it. I chose the Mawi necklace for this task for a number of ...
Gold Vintage
Hello the fashion-conscious, I went out to see a band last night called "King Sunshine." One of its members is a friend of my brother's and I knew what to expect in terms of their style. Their sound is filled with elements of soul. funk, and retro-boogieness, so I decided to go vintage. This silk dress is elaborately embroidered in the pattern of large gold flowers and I wanted to play-up on ...
