Bad Weather Leather

Leather Leggings - Aritzia, Wellies - Topshop,
Bag - Old Navy, Shirt - Urban Outfitters,
Scarf - Urban Outfitters, Jacket - Winners
Jacket (holding) - Vintage

The past few days have brought some bad weather (both literally and figuratively) in my life. It can often be difficult not to dwell on life's little hurdles, however sometimes it's just best to get away. My form of escapism occurred this weekend in Toronto's annual Clothing Show. I got to check out some interesting up and coming designers as well as an awesome vintage selection! I came home with two things, most notably the to-die-for vintage jacket shown here...I've already been wearing it out! Hopefully things will smooth themselves out soon, until then I will be armed for whatever comes my way.

P.S. I apologize for the shaky photo quality!

Mika-riffic

It is a personal belief of mine that Mika is one of the most important musical talents of our generation. Yes, a little boastful but in my opinion, true. I had the awesome pleasure of seeing him in concert a couple years ago and I can say with full confidence that it was probably the best concert I have ever been to. The only downfall was that I had to wait a few years before he finally released a second album. Well ladies and gentlemen, it appears that good art takes time because Mika has done it again (it being created another awesome and brilliantly unique album for my eager ears). His new CD titled "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" is great from what I've heard, and I'm sure will only get better with time. Translation: with whatever disposable income you may have; buy this now!

On a related note: I forgot to mention that I saw Little Boots (who I posted about a while ago) in concert the other week! It was great because it was a tiny little bar so it was really personal. I still think she's going to be big.

Office Girl

Glasses - DIY, Blouse - Danier, Pants - Mom's,
Stud Belt - Urban Outfitters, Bracelets - H&M

While I have been enormously busy over these past couple weeks, I have managed to find time to take part in a university tradition this past weekend: the themed party. The theme of this event in particular was "CEOs and Office Hoes" (I know, so typical). Instead of falling victim to the traditional "office hoe" uniform of...well not much at all, I decided to play CEO for a night instead (in these harsh economic times we need strong women!). Of course I couldn't be too up tight and had to punk it up a little bit, but I must say that I am quite pleased with the resulting look. Perhaps I'll take my new uniform to the city streets for a day...

Getting Cheeky


There is something about city living that ignites the adventurous spark in all of us. For some that means extreme jaywalking, for others (myself included) it means daring dressing. Today I was feeling a little quirky so I decided to throw on some very cheeky (in more ways than one) high waisted shorts. I then paired them with a motorcycle vest and some faux leather booties to toughen up the look a bit. As you can see university life is treating me well, as I am pictured above in front of my bedroom door. Observe the wicked Blondie poster that I hand picked a couple weeks ago...I think I'm in love. :)

Star Gazing


Well as you can tell by my lack of recent postage life in Toronto has been very hectic (but also insanely fun.) I started fashion classes this week which have been really busy but there have been a lot of perks (mainly meeting celebrities!) Not only did I stumble upon Adam Brody, Megan Fox, and Amanda Seyfried last night at a film festival showing, but I got to see a live interview with Dsquared2 and Jeanne Becker! I managed to get pictures with one half of the duo (top photo) and Jeanne as well...so exciting! I can't wait to see what the rest of the year will bring me :)
