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 ...
Taupe Shenanigans
Hello Hello, Today's look-of-the-day is of taupe and light grey shades. I had quite an adventure putting it together. It started when I was trying to wrap the Cuban bean necklace around my wrist and it broke. I'm now finding beans in the most unlikely of places in my room. Some of the beans must have flown and rolled pretty far to end up where they did: in one of my boots in the closet, on the ...
Cream Delight
Hello fashionistas, Today's look-of-the-day lingers somewhere in the creamy pearl dimension. The delicacy of the softly quilted crinoline blouse by Zac Posen is given more volume and detail through the velvet trim and underlapping lace. To me, there is something baroque about this interesting piece and I wanted to play on that. The necklace and the multi-strand pearl bracelet are meant to ...
Checkered Stella
Hey guys, I know...it's been a while. Did you miss me? The truth is that I've been having a pretty tough couple of days - some personal stuff. Fashion and pretty things have been the last thing on my mind. Well, I'm officially getting back to my daily posts. I've always been big on consistency so I'll try to keep up despite the 'obstacles.' Today's look-of-the-day is what I call my ...
Everything Belted
Hello my lovelies, It's Saturday! I hope you're all enjoying your weekend so far. I just came back from having brunch at this cute little restaurant on Baldwin St. in Toronto, called Cafe La Gaffe. For my brother, Taras, eating out for brunch is his favorite pastime so we end up doing a lot of that - to indulge both him and our morning appetites. Over the past two years Cafe La Gaffe has ...
Something Blue and Bright Balloons
Hey guys, I'm falling a bit behind again with my daily posts so today's look-of-the-day is going to be another throw back to this summer. I celebrated my 26th birthday in Moscow last August and I chose this dress by Oktober for my special day. The detail of the pleated silk, the elaborate bodice, and the built in metal brooch make it one of my favorite couture dresses to wear. Considering how ...
Cozy in Blue
Hello fashionistas, Since it's Thursday today I'm going to have to keep this look-of-the-day post short, because, as some of you may know, I have a banya to go to. For this look I paired a cashmere sweater dress with a cropped tuxedo jacket and a long necklace. When the climate permits, I could also wear this tuxedo jacket with a simple tee and a mini or over a silk dress (as Sienna Miller has ...
Navy & White
Hello, I have a little confession to make. I have always been into sailor-influaenced pieces; white and navy stripped tees, sailboat and anchor pendants, necklaces with large links reminiscent of anchor chains. Without even trying, sailors happen to be a pretty stylish bunch - an inspiration to fashionistas all over the world. Personally I've been trying to find a few simple stripped tops for ...
Monday
Hey guys, Today's look-of-the-day is special to me because it includes a skirt by one of my favorite designers. I am absolutely enamored with Giambattista Valli's designs; they are incredibly feminine, flirty...simply ravishing. They have been described as a "picture of dignified modern elegance." But I would say that his clothes are like a scrumptious strawberry atop a cake. A berry that you ...
Spring Anxious
Hello, In Toronto it feels like Spring is in the air; all the snow has melted and there is a sense of renewal and rejuvenation. The only problem is that it's still cold. No matter how much you squint your eyes or try to put yourself in a spring-state-of-mind your imagination will only carry you so far. I don't know about you guys but I've always had more fun with fashion in the spring and ...
