uno dos tres cuatro

if i were a stylist this would be how i would make my models warm up. good moves ladies, good moves.

fashion-a-file

do the hustle at the roller derby

you know i used to be alright,

when you woke me in the morning, waiting for the sun to shine,
and do the two-step all night,

then you'd spin me round and catch me, laughing as the sun would rise. 

i slip awayyyyyyy

burning a hole

since my day of birth is in movember i decided that i would do the unthinkable, attempt to save. my goal was to go through the entire month without purchasing an item of clothing, accessory or anything other then the essentials aka food, coffee and spirits.

so far so good. i havent messed up and with a mere 7 days left i am sure my will power will carry through the final stretch. only a minor issue. rather then creating a small pot of gold for myself i have just made a wish list and its getting rather long.

going clockwise...

1. gorjana- stackable rings, wish set

2. all saints- caradon sheepskin jacket

3. sevens for all mankind- malbec velvet skinnies

4. monsertta de luca- 'love is' necklace

considering i make little over minimum wage working retail, this grouping is truly a 'wish list' but who knows, i am going to be the bday girl very soon! 

eat and love

just like in the book, i skipped the section on pray. but for me nothing is better than eating a meal with good friends and enjoying laughs with family. giving thanks all day.

make you a celebrity overnight

so about two months ago i switched jobs and have found myself working in the most lovely boutique on bathurst surrounded by stunning clothing and a beautiful backdrop. and true to form as most hot things arrive in our fine city of toronto, there has been a decent amount of press around the opening of this new destination hot spot. one day a photographer arrived from a magazine and was going to shoot the shop and she casually asked me to be in a photo. being the camera shy animal that i am i protested but in the end i allowed her to snap one solo shot after which i broke out into a menopausal like flash and blushed all the shades of red. consequently this singular photo ended up as the key frame for the article written on the shop. mortifying.

anyway. since it is being shared all over the internet i decided i would share it as well.

in other exciting news top shop has officially opened in toronto and i have initiated a 'no spending' strike on my visa for the month of october. i plan to purchase myself a very expensive birthday gift.




happy thanksgiving errbody! let your bellies be full of turkey and your food comas last through til tuesday morning.

hello? is it me your looking for

its been a long time
shouldnt have left you
without a dope beat to step to- timbaland

so ive taken my sweetass time to get back to my blog. as the summer passed i relaxed my lyrical mind and decided to take a leave of absence from the blogging world. i was too busy steaming items, going to raves and assisting people with choosing dresses for all of the lovely weddings and social events that they were attending. it would be an understatement to say i went through a wee slump. but im back.

casually posing in front of the giant ferris wheel

highlight of the summer would have to be the trip to london and lovebox, the lil summer music festival that i attended with one of my best buds. i got to dance in my rain boots and drink copious amounts of carlsberg while listening to blondie, snoop, kelis, katy b, cassius and the whole ed banger crew.

i had never been to a festival before so i was a little out of my element. i wanted to have the coolest outfits and just mesh with the hipsters. every day was a dilemma but in the end we found ourselves in wellies, jean shorts and rain jackets jiving with the masses.

i discovered my new techno/house lover cassius and have now played i love you so probably a thousand times. not sick yet so the repeat continues.

bacardi tent- where the djs at

now im fully in the swing of things. back in school attending good ole george brown college, getting my learn on. i have turned into a complete an utter nerd. it is 8pm on a saturday evening and i intend to study for my monday visual merchandising test and complete my sewing homework. what has become of me? i am turning into my most productive self, its almost scary. am i growing up? ill believe it when i see it.

once upon a time a few months back i said i was joining peter pan and never growing up, oh how the tables have turned. for the first time in a long time/my entire life i can see a life goal that i want to attain. something that i am going to strive for. i know that being mediocre isnt going to kick it in the world of fashion so im putting in my all.

this is really beginning to sound like a pep talk to myself. anywayyyy im going to start writing again and that is that. it will be more fashion related shizz and all the jazz. sacre bleu! another fashion blogger....duhh im in fashion now, get over it.

whats currently going on in my brain....explosion
