Wardrobe Cleanse

The camera has taken a break from me, but there will be an inflow of goodies this weekend. Be sure to check back.

Small Wonder

So this little girl, my friends, is my pint-sized 12 year old cousin. It’s amazing how she manages to look great in all my clothes, while I look rather boring and ordinary. She’s absolutely not into fashion as well and would rather wear her sweatpants all day and generally act like a tomboy. But she seemed to enjoy my harassment of her, so there is hope.
Perhaps I can convince her to start wearing sweatpants a la A Wang?

It's Officially Spring!

I can safely say that the weather has improved substantially. Though it's no where close to the sweltering 45 degrees back home (the heat that I'll be basking in in less than a month), it's warm here in Toronto. Relatively speaking.
I've never been quite the winter person and I find myself layering awkward pieces of clothing and looking generally awkward and bulky. Spring gets me excited for the following reasons:
1) Sandals - need I say more?
2) Loose tucked/untucked shirts and t-shirts.
3) Florals
4) A-line skirts
5) Cut-out shoes (it's safe to say that my feet will no longer turn blue from the cold)
6) Pastels
7) White - it's in a whole league of it's own
8) Light layering - blazer galore.
9) Pops of colour - the best way to bring to life neutrals a la Luella
10) Marc Jacobs SS09 Ad campaigns.

The Sart

A new addition to the large collection of my Sartorialist favourites. There's absolutely not one thing wrong with her outfit. The brilliant precision of her coat, the to-die-for beige platforms, the shiny leggings (YES!) and her fantastically tousled hair makes me wish I could wake up and be this lovely lady, everyday.

The American Apparel Wishlist 2.0

As the temperature rises (alright more like crawling terribly slowly), there's nothing more I'd like to wear day and night than the Tri-Blend Light Weight Raglan Pullover in Tri-Indigo (take note of the capital letters, it's just that great. This little number feels quite frankly like second-skin and I could see myself wearing this all wear round. Alas, the piggy-bank did not permit its purchase, but with the birthday coming up, I'm hoping for an in-flow of cash.
Also, the brilliant shiny leggings in Black Night Fever and Black Eel (again).

Androgyny at it's Best

Erin Wasson x RVCA
Must have slouchy tees, boyfriend blazer in black and combat boots.
Thanks.

Charlotte Ronson

With a lacking in the Self-Inspiration department (wow it took me two tries to spell inspiration correctly), I turned to Ms. Ronson to help me out of my drab black and white phase. Neutrals, pretty silks and of course florals always have me floored. Nautical stripes and sheer blouses have also caught my eye. What I also love about this collection are the sleek silhouettes, the gorgeous ankle strap platform, a dark solid background for light prints and undeniably, the wearability of this colletion.
I also love the ethereal hippy-vibe of the last model. Can I be you?
