Lana Del Rey

Probably like my favorite concert ever happened Tuesday night at the Sony Centre: Lana Del Rey! 

I love her style, voice, and songs...which is why I was insanely thrilled when my friend messaged last minute with a ticket (Thanks Georgia!). It had been a pretty rough early week, and I was basically refreshing the Kijiji page every 4 minutes. Needless to say I was over the moon when I found out about the ticket. She sang beautifully and we danced along to every song (yay to making new friends, Teya and Maya!). The place was sold out and the booming voices of a surprisingly diverse crowd roared every time a new song started. She kicked off the set with Cola and performed all my favorites, including West Coast (her brand new hit), Blue Jeans, Body Electric, Born to Die, and closing with National Anthem.

In the spirit of wishing we were transported to, well, summer time...I wore my cut off denim shorts (made by me), H&M lace top, and my All Saints combat boots. I love an interesting headband or in my case turban, so I threw on one of my favorite scarves. All finished off with a dark rebel lip from MAC.

Here are some pictures from the night! (Sorry for the quality, they are all off my phone)

Enjoy :)!

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

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!
