keep making me laugh

Having a super lazy Saturday after a crazy week. I've been working on some really special projects lately that I can't wait to share. Right now I'm most excited about my trip to Palm Beach next week... I can't wait to escape the winter for some sunshine!
This Sandro blazer and these Thakoon boots are my two favourite things in my wardrobe right now, they're all I want to wear!

new choos

I'm having one of the most fantastic weeks ever. I've been spending a lot of time planning for my trip to Los Angeles next month - I'm so excited! My best friend Anna and I are going, and today we found out we'll be attending the Oscar Red Carpet! Anyone who knows me, knows that I ADORE awards shows, so this will be a real highlight. If any of my lovely readers live in LA or have visited recently, please let me know where I should visit, shop and eat... I haven't been since my cousin Amanda took me for my 16th Birthday, so I'm not sure what's new.
These photos were taken on the balcony at my father's friends' gorgeous home. The photos don't capture the incredible backyard.. it backs onto a ravine and is an absolute haven. I am wearing some of my favourite pieces. The sweater dress is so versatile and I wear it all year long. The Jimmy Choo shoes were a Boxing Day find that I just love... even though I can't believe my first pair of Choo's are FLATS... Carrie Bradshaw would not be impressed.

favourite new jacket

I don't think I've worn non-jegging jeans in about two years, but ever since I got these J Brands, I'm denim obsessed. I usually stick to super skinny styles (especially by Mother Denim, a brand I recently discovered), but I'm liking a more flared silhouette this winter.

This coat was gifted to me by Romwe. I love the pairing of army green and shearling, as well as the asymmetrical zip. It's very Helmut Lang, but for a fraction of the price. I'll be wearing it a ton for the rest of the winter months.

All these photos were taken around the Art Gallery of Ontario, after I saw the Marc Chagall exhibit with my Mum (it closes January 15, so run to see it while you can!). The building, recently re-designed by Frank Gehry, still amazes me, even though I visit often. The last photo is a rear shot of the building, featuring Gehry's famous use of titanium. It makes me feel like I'm staring at an abstract piece of sky.

ice in my veins

Happy 2012! I hope all of you had a fabulous New Years Eve. I'm really excited about the new year ahead and have some big things planned for it.
Recently I've been receiving emails from readers in cold climates asking about what I wear when I just need to throw something on quickly in the winter. This is a super simple and warm outfit that I wore just running errands. It's always easier to bundle up like the Michelin man, but I try to keep some semblance of personal style by wearing a winterized heel and an uber long scarf.

Christmas 2011

Happy Christmas everyone! I write this from my bed at the hotel my parents and I are staying at this holiday weekend. Because it's just the three of us celebrating Christmas together, we sometimes like to get away from in all and take a mini vacation at one of our favourite hotels in the city. This year I was so blessed to receive some amazing presents. There were far too many to name them all, but highlights included the coffee table book of Linda McCartney's photographs, monogrammed JCrew pajamas, Tom Ford sunglasses, a bunch of Kiehl's products, concert tickets and a lovely Tiffany bracelet from my Godparents. Phew! I'm off to take a nap before we go out for dinner. I hope your Christmases were spent surrounded by loved ones and that Santa spoiled you.

Apparently I was so excited to wear these pants after purchasing them that I forgot to press them... forgive the wrinkles. The TNT Outlet in Toronto has been so good to me. I've found so many pieces there that I'd been tempted to buy thoughout this year at incredible discounts, including these Theyskens' Theory pants. Worn with my trusty leather jacket and my favourite Club Monaco hat.

sunday girl

I've had one of the best weekends ever. Have seen lots of friends, shopped some of the amazing sales happening all over right now, planned travels for the new year, eaten amazing dinners out and cozy dinners in. Both the hat and the trousers I'm wearing in this post are recent purchases that I'm in love with. The pants are a little summery, but I'm still embracing the relatively temperate weather before the snow starts. The Rag & Bone hat is the perfect fall topper for any outfit, I've been pairing it with almost everything. Hope you all had a lovely weekend as well.
