stripes and spots

It's nice to be casual once in a while. I'm wearing one of my favourite sweaters with a pair of trousers I bought in London a few years ago. On my feet are a pair of Repetto flats that I love but wear rarely. Repettos are a recent addiction of mine... I love every style that they come in. They are so comfortable and so chic, I can't imagine a more perfect shoe. I acquired three pairs this summer and hope to buy a new pair each season.

two new things

Things are quite busy right now with Toronto Fashion Week. Last week I went to "The ShOws", a separate event from the rest of LG Fashion Week, during which Canadian designers who show abroad showcased their collections at the newly opened Ritz Carlton hotel. I attended Thomas Tait, Calla Haynes and Todd Lynn and was so impressed by all the collections, but especially fell in love with Calla's feminine clothes and colour palette. I would have posted pictures, but my camera malfunctioned mid show and I wasn't able to take any photos, so please head over to Flare Magazine's website HERE to view looks from the collection.

In this post I'm wearing two of my favourite new pieces of jewellery, both by incredible up and coming Canadian designers. The headpiece is by The Chains of Love and it is absolute perfection. I'm a sucker for headpieces, I love the ethereal quality of them and they add the perfect touch of boho to a look. I don't wear too many necklaces, but I love this one by Wolf Circus, a brand produced out of Victoria, BC. The bullet crystal has so many colour dimensions and is really on trend right now. I really encourage you to check out these amazing lines and support home grown talent.

and so it begins...

The weather has been absolutely amazing in Toronto for the past few days, we're so lucky! I've been outside enjoying it as much as possible. Things are insanely busy right now and only going to get more so with the start of Toronto Fashion week tomorrow. There are some amazing internationally renowned designers showing this year who I've loved for ages, such as Calla Haynes and Tosca Delfino, among many, many others, and I will definitely try to post the best of the best from the shows during the next two weeks. Despite being pretty selective with the shows I've rsvp'd to, my schedule is almost impossible, so wish me luck!
My best friend Sydney gave me this dress for my last birthday... I think the mark of a true friendship is the ability to buy someone the perfect piece of clothing that fits in both size and personal style. I have worn this dress in so many ways and on so many occasions, I'm still so amazed she found something vintage that is so me. Thanks again Miss Syd!

Dear God, please make this happen....

"The Victoria's Secret model also revealed she would consider following in the footsteps of her husband Orlando, 34, and try her hand at acting.
She said: "If someone approached me and it sounded interesting, I wouldn't be opposed to it, but it's not something I think about."

No, dont worry, I havent changed my mind about our dear panty mantis....

Just think of the opportunities for laughter she would give, even more so if it was something serious and grim, but Im sure that she'll be handing out the giggles whatever the script....

I think that would become a fat n jellus best seller!

giving thanks

I wanted to put up a quick post to say Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! I'm spending the weekend at my parents' house and have already eaten two delicious turkey dinners. This November, I'll be heading to NYC during American Thanksgiving with my best friend Sydney so I'm lucky enough to give thanks twice this year.
In this post I'm wearing a pair of Limited Edition Cougar Pillow Boots. Only 900 pairs of the boots have been released (mine are no. 862). While they aren't exactly my style, they are wildly comfortable and warm, and are a Canadian classic. You can check them out here.
