DANCE ON THE CLOUDS.

Faux Leather Jacket: ZARA (similar online) / Cloud Skirt & Top: Choies / Metallic heels: Alaia from The Outnet / Lips necklace: Choies

It's all been a total blur since last week when I returned from NYFW. It swear it feels as though I was never really there because the days were so hectic and lively, that they were over before I knew it. I digress, can we just talk about the fact that it's practically mid-November here in Toronto? Seriously, it was 9 degrees Celsius (48 degrees F) a couple days ago, which to my surprise, I've been worshipping. I still keep my air conditioner blasting in my house because I suppose my blog has been so boiled this summer that it takes a recovery time (that's my uneducated, ridiculous assumption anyway). 

But alas, leather jackets have finally come into the picture! Can I get a hallelujah? We already know I love screwing over a perfectly feminine outfit (here) with pieces of grunge culture. So oops I did it again- with this leather jacket paired with gorgeous Alaia heels from The Outnet, a cloudy duo, and a perfectly sparkling pair of lips- or six.  

So these few days are pretty much filled with ways to end up back in NYC. I'm not quite level-desperate yet, but I'm definitely working at it every day. 

See you next week, when it will undoubtedly be freaking winter soon.

Hat: Topshop (similar) / Floral jumpsuit: ZARA (I also love | similar) / Studded heels: ZARA (I also love | similar) / Translucent Clutch: ZARA (similar | I also love)

The third day of fashion week was focused around attending the Hervé Léger show at The Lincoln Centre. I wore a silk floral jumpsuit that I recently found at ZARA, and paired it with a statement hat, a translucent clutch, and studded heels that I adorn. Truth be told, I planned on wearing a gorgeous baby blue necklace with this outfit, but given that all of Fashion Week was spent rushing places and being late, I completely forgot to put it on before the show. Womp womp.  

Thank you Marie Claire for featuring my outfit in your street style page, and big big thank you to all the photographers who sent me the pictures from the show! I couldn't bring my own camera because I was going solo, and didn't have anyone to take pictures for me! So much for blogging haha.

After the show I met up with fellow YouTuber Carly Cristman and we hung out around the shows for a while before dispersing and taking a deep and much appreciated sleep.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: DAY TWO.

Entire outfit from ZARA / Hat: Asos / Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim / Bracelets: Topshop, Hermes, Asos.

On my second day at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week I wore a faux leather crop top/sports bra, dark wash denim boyfriend jeans, minimalistic heels, my new 3.1 Phillip Lim pashli and a baseball cap to finish it off. I believe this is called "sports luxe", a trend that has been dominating the world of fashion this spring and summer.
I had the pleasure of attending the BCBG Max Azria show, which kicked off not only NYFW, but essentially all of fashion month! Watching a fashion show was really interesting because I'm used to the technicalities of runway from backstage, or a model's perspective. It was enlightening to be the one analyzing the models and drawing conclusions on their outfits ;)

Some of my favourite pieces that Max Azria featured in his Spring 2014 collection were crisp crop-tops, light trench coats, androgynous cuts, and glasses with thick black frames. Powder blue dominated the colour scheme, with the occasional greys, nudes, and floral prints.
