HAUS Alert
Hello dear fashionistas, On Saturday a bunch of us went to a grand opening party for a new store on Bloor St. West called HAUS. It's "the only concept store where local and international designers and artists alike showcase their pieces through the vision of HAUS." At the party I had the pleasure of meeting its two charming owners William and Rachel. Rachel told me about the vision behind this ...
Development
Hello fashionistas, I am only posting Wednesday's look-of-the-day now because I ended up being busier than expected. The beginning of spring seems to be propelling plans into action and turning stagnant procrastinations into developments. It's the season when new ideas bloom. I've always noticed how the energy of the city shift when people begin to sense spring in the air. It wakes Canadians ...
Pink Roses
Hello my dear readers, I'm going to banya today and am really short on time. So here is the look-of-the-day. It's silky, it's light, and it's rosy. My little tribute to the beautiful spring season to come. BTW, I'm planning on shooting another video on vacation clothes this weekend. What I'm wearing: Silk dress by "Mason" Nude tights by "Expression" Pumps by “Nicole Brundage” ...
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 ...
Violet Throughout
Hello readers, Do you know what my favourite feature of the current fashion era is...its return to femininity. Unfortunately we haven't yet recovered from the grunge and excessive casualness of the 90s but I think, in the past decade, we've made huge leaps into the realm of the beautiful and the romantic. Only now, paradoxically, dressing feminine has become an almost rebellious act. Most ...
Amber Galore
Hey guys, I kind of have a funny story about these Ottorino Bossi boots. I used to wear them a lot when I was still in university because they are so comfortable and look good with pretty much anything. Anyway, this one time I went to get a bite to eat on Bloor St. and as I was walking back to campus I noticed that a bum with a shopping cart was following me. He never took his eyes off the ...
Lets Sail Away
Ay, Ay Sailors, I hope you guys all had an amazing weekend. You want to know what I did? I spent the entire time watching Dexter and got through over two seasons. The show is so addictive that it turns you into a degenerate in no time :). Considering that I don't even have cable, it feels strange for me to commit so much time to a tv series. I've always been more of a film buff (I even ...
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 ...
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 ...
