this time maybe i'll be bulletproof

Hello Everyone,
It feels like forever since I've updated. This past week was Toronto Fashion Week (or LG Fashion Week), and between classes, shows and after parties, it's been a blur! I didn't end up taking any pictures at the shows, but my favourite collections were Pink Tartan, Evan Biddell, Travis Taddeo, NADA and Joe Fresh Style.
About my outfit:
  • The coat is a vintage find I bought during the summer, and I'm loving that it's chilly enough to start wearing it.
  • The oversized sweater and leather leggings are by my favourite brand Wilfred, sold in the Canadian store Aritzia. The leggings are buttery soft leather that I have been wearing almost every day, and the sweater is something I wore at a photoshoot and loved so much that I ended up buying it. Both are perfectly comfy, warm pieces for Fall/Winter that are great for layering.
  • I love the effect of the leggings with my Edelman boots, they almost remind me of the Rodarte boots from last season, where you couldn't tell if they were leggings or just really tall boots.
  • The sunglasses are Ray Ban Clubmasters, which I've wanted for a while and finally bought for myself as a pick-me-up after a recent breakup. Shopping is the best form of therapy, is it not?

Mark the Cobrasnake was in town for LG Fashion Week, and here are a couple shots from a party. Big thanks to all of you who sent me emails about them, they were so sweet and each one made my day.

I'm going to try and be less MIA in the future, but I'm currently working on a bunch of awesome new projects that I'm really excited to reveal in the next few weeks/months, so bear with me for now!

is it worth it? let me work it.

Aloha.

  • I am doing this post in bullet points because I am half asleep about to crash into my bed and sleep forever
  • My lack of posting is due to me being insanely sick, it has literally been once ailment following the next. Trying to balance getting better and school work, while still trying to go out every other night is next to impossible. Thankfully, I'm starting to get a bit better.
  • This week my best friend and I went to see The Gossip in concert. Officially in love with Beth Ditto, but even moreso because she came to the after party and hung around smoking and drinking with everyone. And she has amazing pink hair right now. I didn't want to sound like a complete fangirl and ask for a photo but now I really wish I had.
  • I am loving floor length skirts and dresses right now.
  • New necklaces! One is a whistle and the other is a piece I stole from my mother that I will likely never return because it is awesome and chunky and perfect.
  • When I first saw the preview for the H&M Divided Exclusive Collection, I knew I had to get this jacket. I love it and it's studded deliciousness so much that I almost never take it off.
  • This week marks the start of Toronto Fashion Week which I will be attending - I'm SO excited.

Goodnight!!

you're in my mind, you're in my heart, i wish i knew right from the start

Hello Boys and Girls,
This weekend was an absolute whirlwind. I've been deathly ill, but despite that a friend and I decided on a whim to drive to Montreal on Friday to visit some people. While we were there, Steve Aoki and the Cobrasnake had an event so we decided to check it out for a bit. Montreal is one of my favourite cities, and my only regret is that I didn't have more time to do some shopping the next day!
This American Apparel Super Sheer Circle Scarf has been my obsession as of late. Perfect for those somewhat rainy days when you need a hood or if you want to look a little bit mysterious at night. I left it at my parents house this weekend and I'm actually experiencing withdrawl symptoms.
Here's the Cobrasnake shot:Have a fabulous week! xo
