FAT Overview!

OOOOK, so its been a crazy crazy week. It feels like everybody has come out of hiding and it's time to rock and roll! I mean the weather is still awful (c'mon Toronto show me some sun) but at least its a bit warmer.

Last week I got to see all the collections at FAT 2014. I lucked out with an awesome seat and even made a friend! (shout out Lina from Love Between the Racks) Here are some highlights from Tuesday night's show!

I think the focus on the artistic side of fashion was great. It's always refreshing to see what each designers' unfiltered creative vision is. I loved my first time at FAT and I'm totally looking forward to next year.

Fashion and Art Toronto: FAT

Hi Everyone!

I'm going to be at Fashion and Art Toronto tomorrow for the opening night shows! I'm so excited to see some great designers and all that FAT has to offer. Come back for a full review of the night's festivities!

See you soon!!

Co-Co-Co-Coachella!

Well since weekend one of Coachella wrapped up this past Sunday, I've scoured the internet for some of my favourite looks. I would have totally loved to be there...jamming to the sounds of Lana Del Rey, Bastille, MGMT, and so many more...but since I seem to still be in the same spot right now, I will just live vicariously through these images. 

There was a mix of fringe, leather, denim, crop tops, florals, and of course rompers (which seemed to be all the rage) this year at the festival. Personally, I'm a big fan of the layers and layers of accessories that everybody seems to pile on, including every type of material and colour you can find. Wide brim hats and wavy hair were a staple, and surprisingly (but also not) Bindis were just as popular!

I'm pretty excited to see what crazy style the rest of festival season brings out...but for now...here is Coachella!

NOTE: I do not own the above pictures. 

Oh also, 2 pieces of exciting news to come out of the weekend's festivities; Alexander Wang will be releasing a collection for H&M in November of 2014 (I know...forever away but AMAZING), which will be something to definitely look forward to. Secondly, Lana Del Rey debuted her new song, West Coast, on stage this past Sunday and I'm in love with it...one word: repeat. 

A Sunny Stroll

SPRING HAS SPRUNG ladies and gentlemen...and I love it! I got pretty excited to start playing with lighter layers. I also love adding one pop of colour to my outfit, like a feature piece. In this case it is my pastel faux fur Vera Moda vest (scored it from M for Mendocino a while back). its a great transition piece because of the light fresh colour but will still keep you warm.

I walked all the way down Queen St East, which sadly gave me some blisters. I mean I love Doc Martens, but they have to be the hardest pair of shoes to break in! Christa, back from her modelling adventure in South Africa, and I enjoyed the stroll in the sun on our way to her meeting.

Hope you guys had a beautiful day :D!

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!!
