fever waves pt 1

Hello Loves,
A few weeks ago, my friend Brittany (who I met at Chic Heroin regular Zoe's birthday party) asked me to model in one of her shoots. She is an amazingly talented photographer who shoots primarily with film. Her concept was to use a slide projector in a very Warhol-esque way. (Remember some of his most famous shots of Nico? see here). I took over a bag of my favourite pieces for fall and Brittany, her assistant for the day/the most awesome Reilly, and I had a great morning shoot. Brittany will be launching her new website soon and I'll be sure to post it when she does you can see more of her work.

Part Two coming in a few days!

Also, thank you all so much for entering my Shopbop Gift Card contest! I absolutely loved everyone's favourite things from the site, I checked all of them out and definitely added a few more things to my wish list. The winner was chosen at random, and I'd like to congratulate Jony from The Netherlands! Have fun with the gift card, and let me know what you use it on!

*Lastly, for my Canadian readers, I wanted to let you know about something cool Jacob is doing right now. They've got a campaign called "Give your clothes a new lease on life", and what you can do is bring in a bag of your used clothes to a Jacob or Jacob Lingerie store. Jacob will donate the clothes to Goodwill/Renaissance to help women in need, and as a thank you, they'll give you 25% off your purchase at Jacob. It's a great way to purge your closet in time for new winter trends, and also help out the women who truly need it, so get closet-cleaning ladies!

canadian tuxedo

Hi All,

I'm finally back in Toronto after what seems like years (but in reality was only 2 long weekends) away. Last weekend I was in Montreal, and this past weekend I visited Halifax for the first time! I promised when I came back from Montreal I'd have a list of my favourite spots, so here are some of my shopping favs:
George & Jane - 5364 St. Laurent
Friperie St Laurent - 3976 St Laurent (where I picked up the most incredible Mongolian fur vest)
Les Etoffe - 5253 St Laurent

Unicorn - 5135 St Laurent (where they snapped me for their blog here)

Eva B - 2013 St Laurent (don't go unless you're prepared to dig, which I wasn't)

Boheme - 206 St. Viateur

Annex Vintage - 56 St. Viateur (probably my fav. vintage store there)

Swing - 151 des pins E

Memento - 3678 St. Denis

Apparently in other parts of the world, double denim is referred to as a Canadian Tuxedo. As offensive as that is, I decided to wear one anyways. I am absolutely obsessed with these Gap jeggings and I have them in 2 other colours. I'm also wearing a vintage Coach bag, Miu Miu clogs and a thrifted top.

I've got so many new things to blog about, so look out for more frequent postings in the next few weeks. Also, don't forget to enter the Shopbop giveaway before it ends on Thursday, October 28th!

streetwalker

Hey All,
I was recently featured in Streetwalker Magazine, an awesome independent Canadian magazine based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. They were kind enough to send along the pages for me to post here, but make sure to head over to their website to see the feature and past issues. It's since become one of my go-to fashion websites, I love their blog!

Speaking of Halifax, I'll be visiting there in two weekends, so if any of my readers are Halifax-based, I'd love to know any restaurant or shopping recommendations, as it's a city I know absolutely nothing about!

This weekend, I'll be visiting my best friend Christopher in Montreal, and I would SO appreciate some shopping recommendations! During my last visit, I fell in love with Reborn, but this time I'd love to find even more boutiques and especially vintage stores, so please comment or email me your suggestions!

thankful

Lately,

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians! I've been very blessed this year and I've got a lot to be thankful for, especially family and all the friends in the photos above. Tomorrow, my family and I will be forgoing a traditional meal and letting the Windsor Arms cook dinner instead. I absolutely can't wait for stuffing and pumpkin pie. Hope you all had a great long weekend,

elle est en forme

Hi All,

It's getting really cold here, and these pictures were taken on the last day I could get away with not wearing a jacket. I'm not really complaining though; over the past year, I've somehow accumulated 30+ new fall/winter coats and am dying to start wearing them. Life has been a series of extremes lately, going to great parties, then back home to study in sweat pants, running as fast as I can to get somewhere, only to sit in the same spot for two hours, eating nothing but soup and cereal for days, then going out for a crazy meal... I feel like I am running all the time. If you've ever seen me on campus, you'll know I'm the girl wearing mismatched clothes, with dirty hair and a million things in my hands, dropping something ever few steps. I'll be travelling a lot in the next few weeks, and on top of events and assignments, I don't think things will be slowing down anytime soon.

I'm absolutely in love with this necklace. The medallion is actually a zodiac chart and is super heavy. I'm also wearing a Wilfred crop top, an H&M maxi skirt, and all vintage jewellery.

I'm off to study for my French test tomorrow, for which I am thoroughly unprepared. Wish me luck!! xo E
