grandmother clark

I wore this on Family Day (Presidents Day in the USA), which was spent with my family trying new restaurants and going to the TIFF Lightbox to watch the unauthorized Harvey Weinstein documentary (very insightful, go see it if you can). I haven't had a minute of downtime this break, I can barely believe I'm saying this, but I'm so glad I didn't go to the Carribbean as originally planned. On my break, I've been living in this coat, can you believe it was my grandmother's? I never got a chance to meet her, but I so treasure the things that were once hers. Also, this dress is everything I'm into right now, navy and black, velvet, and mixed patterns. I seem to collect Marc by Marc Jacobs pieces without the intent of doing so, but this is my absolute favourite so far.

Wearing my grandmother's coat, a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, Dooney & Bourke purse and Zara boots.

This is typical weekend morning look for me... messy hair, the previous night's makeup, a giant tea and the biggest, comfiest sweater I can find. Please disregard the puffy eyes and the unbrushed hair, I haven't been sleeping well lately and have been waking up exhausted with no interest in making myself look presentable.
I bought this Isabel Benenato sweater at the TNT Hazelton Lanes moving sale for just under $200 after being marked down from around a thousand. I'm obsessed with the leather sleeves and the draping of it. The sale is on til the 19th, and everything from Helmut Lang to Carven (my new favourite brand) is majorly marked down, so if you're in the Toronto area, I strongly urge you to go! Also am obsessed with my new boots. I was looking for something super simple without laces, studs or any other doodads and found exactly what I was looking for in these F-Troupe boots from La Garconne (also on sale! I've been having all the luck lately). (Isabel Benenato sweater coat, Vince shirt, F-troupe boots)

These photos were taken with a Yashica film camera, borrowed from Brittany Lucas, who took this set of photos. I'm still playing around with film, and while I like it better as medium than digital, it takes a bit of getting used to. My parents (with some not-so-subtle hints from me) got me this vintage dress for Christmas, and it couldn't be more perfect. Velvet, mini, royal blue and a peter pan collar. The fabric is unbelievably thick, much warmer than expected. Also wearing a vintage purse and my brand new Ferragamos, bought in Palm Beach over winter break. I recently found out they make them in nude patent as well, and I'm not sure I can live without them.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Mine was spent for the most part with Jane Austen, working on an essay due next week. I'll probably take a break for the Superbowl, not because I have any interest in football (or sports in general, for that matter) but more because I suppose it's something one just does for the sake of it? I'll probably return to Sense and Sensibility within minutes.
