We’ve all heard the saying, “fashion goes in cycles.” Well, there are certain posts that I’m not quite ready to let go of so I decided to create a new category. I’m calling it Oldies but Goodies. Basically, once a week I will be resurrecting one of my favorite looks from the past for your viewing pleasure.

silver pieces
This post is coming to you from my tiny Tokyo hotel room but the pictures were taken back in Toronto. I paired this form fitting Alice + Olivia dress and a scarf with silver accents to meet up a friend for dinner and a movie. I can’t wait to get to my Tokyo posts and to show you some of what I’m seeing.
Patent It!
I really patented-it-up for this look-of-the-day. I’ve been waiting to wear this jacket for a while now and today’s decent weather finally permitted the materialization of my modest desire. I generally love large, high collars and I especially appreciate well-constructed ones that stay up as intended. The texture of the patent leather allows the collar on this jacket to stay in place regardless of how high you want it. I paired it with high, patent leather gloves, as I had done in the Gloves video. Once I decided to complete the look with the patent, Pierre Hardy boots, I kept the rest of the garments simple. The shine of patent leather was enough of a statement in itself so I went with a plain sweater and jeans to balance out the glam. That is basically all there’s to my ‘patent’ story

Layered Mini
I know that I’ve been short on words in the past few posts and it’s just a reflection of how I’ve been feeling lately. I don’t want to force what just isn’t there. I haven’t felt very inspired to write so I choose not to. It’s like I hit something of a creative dry spell and I haven’t done anything interesting lately to get myself out of it (i.e. theatre, opera, art show)….nada. I’ll have to figure something out but until then the pictures alone will have to suffice.
Red Hat
Admittedly, the colour combination of white, red, and black is one of the safest of them all, but we still love it for its vibrancy and contrast. According to Kate Smith, “a recognized authority on colour,” black is associated with the primordial void and emptiness, red is recognized as a stimulant, while white projects purity, cleanliness, and neutrality. Talk about complicated…
