Toronto Vintage Show

I am a huge fan of shopping vintage. There's always a thrill in finding pieces that are unique and different. The Toronto Vintage Show was held on Sunday at the Metro Convention Centre. There were vendors there selling special items from any decade, including some great designer pieces and furs.

I jumped the gun on this whole "spring" thing and decided to wear a light sweater and just my floral bomber (its a favourite of mine!)...and needless to say I FROZE, but it was all totally worth it! I also threw on these booties that I found while thrifting with my friend a couple of weeks back. This was the type of find where you have no idea how someone let these go! All topped off with this awesome Eugenia Kim fedora.

I left the show with an awesome printed blazer, from Peaces by Savannah-Rae. These girls had a great set up that consisted of hand selected vintage pieces with a fresh modern style.



Oh hello Tiah!!

This post is in loving memory of Gingy. I will always love you and I cherish having had a the fiercest little kitty on the block. 17 strong years and I will ALWAYS be proud of the beautiful creature she was. Rest in Peace tiger <3!!

#WMCFW Part II

Happy first day of SPRING! Unfortunately, if you look outside (in Toronto) its super gloomy and cold. I can't wait for the sun to shine and the heat to start waving in. I would like to share some more awesome street style from Toronto Fashion Week. Sadly the festivities end on Friday, and as a fashion lover I'm going to miss the constant hustle and bustle that surrounds Fashion Week.

Hope you like these!

March Inspiration

So since the Polar Vortex has decided to rear its head back in Toronto, cute outfits are a bit harder to shoot. I thought I would share some of my spring inspiration looks that I can't wait to try out when the ground clears and we can start shedding some layers! This spring will be all about florals, pastels, boyfriend/ripped jeans, and a lot more. Also, let's not forget music festival season and all the great style that comes with it (one word: Coachella!!). It's quite easy to say I can't wait, c'mon spring it's your time to shine. What are your spring style looks going to be like























note: I do not own these images, I found them on Pinterest


Last but not least, here is my #OOTD while I'm off to pick up some dinner!

A Touch of Vintage and ChloƩ







Layers, slouchy silhouettes, and gold accents are the name of the game for this look. I just found this amazing camel coat at St Lawrence Market this past Sunday and I had to have it. I love adding a vintage flare to my outfits, especially an all black ensemble. It's also all about texture when wearing a monochromatic look for me. This is the best way to add visual interest even when you are playing with a limited color palette. Then, I topped it all off with, one of my favorite items in my closet, my red Chloe boots. They just add the right pop of color and luxe!


Hope you enjoy!




AND here's a little menswear inspiration featuring Reza!
