call your girlfriend, it's time you had the talk

Had a wonderful weekend and I hope you all did too. Went out to dinners with new friends and with old, saw The BBGuns play their first show at the Silver Dollar, brunched at Le Select with my family, saw Robyn in concert (totally mindblowing, we didn't stop dancing all night) and just gallivanted all over the city. I barely had a minute to myself to deal with all the schoolwork piling up after only three weeks of class. Despite that, I'm liking this semester more and more every week, and I've got a funny feeling that it's going to be a really good next few months.

Wearing: Club Monaco top, vintage skirt, Max Azria shoes. I bought these shoes whilst in Palm Beach with my family during the winter break. I originally tweeted about them months ago at LouLou Magazine's Shop Til You Drop event, and was elated to find them at the Herve Leger/Max Azria store on Worth Ave. for 60% off. I'm about 6ft1 when wearing them, but they're suprisingly easy to walk in with the ankle strap. Definitely my best purchase of the trip.

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night

I'm obsessed with this velvet, bell-sleeved, kimonoesque romper from Kate Moss' final collection with Topshop. The day the line was released, I went to the website and purchased this in under 20 seconds, it was true love at first sight. It feels a bit costume-y paired with my over the knee Miu Miu boots, but kinda in a good way?? I feel like a Mod spy out of some 60's television show, but my Dad burst my bubble saying it was more Stevie Nicks... I guess I'll take either one.

winter cozies

It's bloody cold in Toronto. When I walk outside, I'm bundled to the point of unrecognizable. It seems the only times I can thaw out are at my overheated apartment, wrapped in a knit blanket, sipping hot tea and reading a good novel, or else out with friends, warmed by good company, gossip, and maybe a little wine.

Looking totally unformal. This is the type of outfit I typically travel in. Wilfred Free sweatpants, Opening Ceremony sweater, Wilfred scarf/blanket/amazing, Zara boots.

proper dress

Hi All,
Forgive me for my absence! After the rush of the holiday season, I left on New Years Day for Palm Beach with my family. The day I got there I came down with some mysterious illness and was bedridden until the last day of the trip, when these photos were taken, in the middle of a rainstorm! I did, however, get some awesome last minute shopping done on Worth Avenue, that almost made up for the whole trip. I was so looking forward to taking pictures of all the amazing things I've purchased/received this break, in the warm weather, but considering we've got a foot of snow here in Toronto, that's not going to happen.

Wearing a Club Monaco cashmere cardigan, Alexander Wang shorts, a vintage blouse, Ferragamo flats and a Dooney & Bourke bucket bag.

Happy New Year everyone! I'm off to drink lotus flower tea and catch up on some reading before my return to Toronto for the semester tonight. xo E
