modern girls always get their way

Hello All.

So many apologies for lack of posting and for all the unreturned comments and emails. Things have been the busiest they've ever been for me lately & with all the great things that are happening, sometimes I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I promise to get back to everyone soon. I've been using disposable cameras instead of my dslr as of late and I'm not sure I ever want to go back. These are some random shots from recent evenings & afternoons. My head piece is from here and it's my new favourite thing. Oh, and I got new sunglasses... Alexander Wang x Linda Farrow, I still get excited every time I put them on.

you're cool as hell, i'm your biggest fan

Hi Friends,

These pictures were taken after my good friend Lynsie and I went to the MTV headquarters to see a special interview taping with Kelly Cutrone. Along with a few other Toronto bloggers, we were invited to watch the taping and then for a press meeting afterwards about the new MTV magazine, Fora. Kelly was SO great to listen to. Surprisingly, unlike most reality stars, she was actually real, and took time to talk to girls during commercial breaks.

Unfortunately, immediately after I left the taping, I came down with some sort of radioactive superbug resulting in me doing nothing but lie in bed totally immobile for the past two days, and causing me to miss my favourite holiday (slash excuse to drink during the day). Anyhow, I hope you all had a fantastic St. Patty's and had a green beer (or three) for me.

I put this jacket together by buttoning a vintage fur stole to a five dollar army surplus jacket after seeing Kate Lanphear wearing THIS PIECE OF PERFECTION. I always imagined wearing this outfit with a pair of Alexander Wang "Freja" heels from S/S 2010, but, I suppose a girl's budget only goes so far. Other than that I'm wearing vintage rings, a Marc Jacobs purse, H&M top, Opening Ceremony Sweater and Zara wedges.
Off to bed, goodnight all xx E

here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Hi All

Things are absolutely insane right now. On top of end of term papers/tests, a ton of AMAZING new opportunities have just been thrown at me this past week. I feel like I'm going crazy, but in a good way. The weather is getting so warm and my patience for all things university-related is quickly running out.

Bought this trench at Topshop in NYC, along with four other coats (needless to say my suitcase was overweight). These shorts were only 10 dollars and I've pretty much worn them to shreds already. I bought my purse at Target (!!!), where I also found my other favourite purse in the world last year. For some reason, I always end up reaching for my Target bags meanwhile my Marc Jacobs Stam and other designer bags sit in my closet and collect dust. This one was close enough to the Alexander Wang bag to satiate my desire for one... for now.

Back in September, I was approached about being featured in a new online magazine called Enamor. It gave me a great chance to shoot with my favourite photographer and good friend Lynsie Roberts (check out more of her work here), and it's probably one of my favourite interviews I've ever done. After a few months of production, it turns out I'm on the cover. Here are a few outtakes, and be sure to check out the first issue of Enamor Magazine here.

l.e.s artistes

These are the last of the New York pictures, I promise. The MoMA is home to some of my favourite pieces of art in the world. I don't share much of my personal interests on my blog, but modern art is something I'm extremely passionate about. As I get older, I have a feeling my funds will be directed less towards clothing, and more towards great art. (This Christmas' sketch is a questionable first for the collection, right Terry? haha.) Warhol, Matisse, dirty/pretty alleys, Mondrian, Monet & my uber chic mother, Picasso, cafe... it was a nice day.

p.s. I guess I would be very unpatriotic if I didn't say hooray CANADA for setting the record in most gold medals ever, and of course, for winning gold in hockey (the only winter sport that REALLY matters). Having the Olympics in my country created a tangible spirit of national pride that I've never felt before in Toronto. For the first time in my life I sat in front of the television riveted by curling and speed skating... who knew? However, as much as I enjoyed it, I'm looking forward to my daily Friends reruns being back on now.
