Now that I finally got my advocacy brief out of the way, I’m spending the weekend on my family’s sailboat. When I’m playing sailor for a couple of days, I try to keep it pretty nautical – horizontal stripes, navy and white color schemes, casual blazers, and rope-inspired details. It’s nice to switch it up every now and then – law student by week, sea gypsy by weekend. Lol, this coming from a person who sails, maybe, twice a year. By the way, how amazing are these squirrels at the marina…super inquisitive and friendly.

So Far So Good! :)
Today’s look-of-the-day is of what I wore last night to a show at the Factory Theatre. I loved the silhouette produced by the crinoline Zac Posen blouse when paired with a form-fitting tank. It highlights the outlines of the figure in a subtle, understated way. To finish the look, I threw the Proenza Schouler jacket on top of the blouse and mini – in keeping with the blue/white colour pallet and the vertical checks. The Cole Haan flap clutch picks up the colour of the mini while (in texture) conforming to the cubic tenor in the main garments.
The City of Smiles
What I found to be most impressionable about Cleveland had less to do with the city itself or even the school I visited than with its people. I was in complete awe of how genuinely friendly and pleasant everyone was. It’s probably the most welcoming city I’ve ever been to and the best part is that this warm disposition of its residents is contagious. Needless to say, the visit was thoroughly enjoyable.
Tuesday on the Road
My day so far has largely consisted of getting myself back home to Toronto. I am finally sitting in my condo, with a latte in my hand, writing my daily post. There isn’t much that you can say in relation to travel attire other than the obvious – “comfort comes first.” I used to interpret this comfort-related, three-word-rule as a limiting nuisance. A stifling kill-joy that inhibits our creative instincts and freedoms. But I now realize that it doesn’t have to. On the contrary, I’m beginning to enjoy putting together looks for very specific purposes (such as travel) because its many limitations present something of fun challenge. As long as you keep in mind what the day requires of you (mostly sitting, waiting, and trying to get comfortable with little leg room and so on) then it quickly narrows down your possibilities. Through my previous experiences I’ve learned to layer, wear stretchable, comfy pants, and to bring a big bag for all my travel stuff. Everything else is a matter of the fashionista’s vision.
End of Long Weekend
I’m still in Montreal and this post is of my relaxed, “I’m a little tired from celebrating Valentine’s Day” look. I’m about to go to Schwartz’s for a bite to eat. It must sound like that’s all I do here, and it is
