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 ...
Chocolate Brown Delight
Good day my friends, After finishing this post I will be driving out to see an old friend of mine, Alissa, who just had a baby. I haven't seen her since she moved outside of Toronto to the countryside in preparation for her little one. For as long as I could remember she has been a quintessential "city girl," a fashionable "from lattes to pilates" kind of chica. She keeps insisting that I need ...
Thursday: Just Another Banya Day
Hi Hi, I hardly slept last night. My mind was flooded with these incoherent, useless thoughts and the more I tried to clear my mind the faster they poured in...pretty counterproductive right? I'm now sitting at the computer and contemplating all the various ways I could feel more or less functional after such a night. Maybe a cup of tea, with honey...maybe lemon? Umm, I can't believe I'm ...
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 ...
Carmen in Black
Hello my fashionista friends, I just came back from seeing Carmen - an opera at the Canadian Opera Company (COC). I have seen Carmen about 5 times in the past: a few times in St. Petersburg, a few times in Moldova, and once before in Toronto. Because of my previous experience and considering that Carmen is one of the most popular and recognizable operas of all time I sort of assumed that the ...
Does length matter?
Hey guys, Today's look-of-the-day is once again predominantly silk and satin but it also brings us to a new topic. Today is my first time wearing this coat-dress by Noir primarily because of its length. Just out of curiosity I tried it on a few days ago with my Miu Miu skirt but after a quick glance in the mirror the "length theory" was confirmed. Length does matter when it comes to creating ...
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 ...
Polka Dot Hits the Spot
Hello dear visitors, I ate too many M&Ms today and am beginning to feel sick. This might sound like a strange statement to start today's look-of-the-day post with but it indirectly relates to a greater fashion related theme - one of balance and moderation. Personally I find it irritating when so-called "fashion experts" or even bloggers try to sound knowledgeable by preaching on the ...
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 ...
Expect the Unexpected
Hey guys, Something happened yesterday that made me pretty surprised and a little grossed out. I was having just another workout at the Extreme Fitness (Wellington location), followed by a 15 minute dry-sauna session. After changing out of my dirty gym clothes I left them in the locker while bringing my i-Phone and book inside the sauna with me. When walking back to the locker I noticed that ...
