BE IN PEACE, NOT IN PIECES.

As we approach mid-summer, I can't help but soak in all the sunshine, buy out all the farmer's markets, live outside, and smile unconditionally. This is the bliss I've been waiting for. This is the time of year that inspires me, teaches me, and makes me a better person.
Unfortunate that this all had to come to an end one fall day, so soak it up, and smile.

BREEZES ON CAPRI.

One of the things I was most looking forward to during my trip to Amalfi was definitely visiting Capri, a highly coveted island to the west of the Amalfi coast.

We took a boat tour that showed us all around the coast, and then as we got into Capri we saw the grotto, and other countless caves filled with crystal-clear turquoise water. To be honest though, I was very excited to visit Capri because it has a reputation of luxury, and I'm drawn to all things unattainable and unrealistic. I popped into several shops, and decided to buy a souvenir that I've wanted forever (proof here): my first Hermès piece, a white and gold 'Clic H' bangle! After curbing my bruschetta craving and wandering around the lush gardens, we headed back to Amalfi. 

Let me just add: I'm freaking obsessed with this skirt. You have to try one on for yourself to see how amazing it feels to be covered yet still expose the perfect amount of skin. It's like wearing a blanket but still looking good ;)

DESERT DREAMS.

Did you know that it is my wildest dream to live in the Sahara Desert? 

I have this feeling from deep within that I am meant to live in a climate of dry heat, so I don't get numb fingers and toes everyday from frost. 

But hey, it's officially spring now! I bought brand new outdoor furniture today, and the weather is looking good from now on, so no complaining from me!

I used to wonder: why do people wear trench coats? The material won't keep you warm, and if it's warm enough to wear a trench coat I would rather just wear a blouse or sweater! Well, my friends, I can report back to you from first hand experience that yes indeed, a trench coat is the last thing that will keep you warm. But it looks damn cool.

This week was incredibly fun, and I had the opportunity to walk in my first runway show ever. Once I get the video and pictures from the show, I will definetly make a post about the collection!

Next week I am also working a few events, and hopefully I'll be shooting for my portfolio more!

Happy spring!

"NEW YEAR, NEW ME!" - THE BOYFRIEND JEAN

Boyfriend jeans have come a long way. 

I remember when they used to literally look like men's jeans. Too wide of a leg, too uniform, too.. awkward. I've noticed more and more that I've recently become incredibly attracted to boyfriend jeans! They look almost like skinny jeans, except they possess a harem pant charm and a pinch of laid back cool. 

The key to a perfect boyfriend jean?

- Perfectly fitted at the hips (buy your size, don't size up or down!)
- Rips and distressing to taste. I like a moderate amount of distressing. Boyfriend jeans without rips look off to me.

- The ideal shade of light blue. I find that boyfriend jeans work exponentially better when they are of a light-wash denim.
- A rolled up ankle, especially when pairing with heels.
- Confidence! 

Toronto was pretty dramatically snowed in this morning, which honestly doesn't bother me too much. I don't have to drive to work, which means jasmine green tea can be my best friend right now. It's quite picturesque looking to my terrace and seeing ... white, and only white.

 See you soon!

TWENTY THIRTEEN.

Happy New Year!!

I had an unforgettable night yesterday, thanks to my amazing friends and the incredibly kind-hearted spirit of Toronto last night. I don't know, maybe it was because most of us were "champagne happy", but everyone's positive attitude had an almost euphoric effect on me. I spent the actual 3-2-1 countdown running on the street, some random man gave me a rose, I got pushed into a strip club (whilst screaming "no please I don't want to get raped"), had a couple encounters with my subscribers, and then obviously froze to death because it was -3... and I was wearing a skirt. 

Nonetheless, I decided to finally wear my new studded denim jacket today, paired with my favorite everyday jeans and some combat boots. I call it effortless bad-ass, or what have you. 

Don't get too carried away with your resolutions and don't verbalize them until you're already doing something to achieve your goal. I'll be seeing you all lots this year and hope to be even more active on my blog. Despite the gross weather :)

See you soon!

Hello my lovelies!

Today I'm biking with my friend Julia to a beautiful park and just enjoying the outdoors and getting away from the city. Maybe while we're there we'll get smoothies and walk around... desperately trying to see what's open on labour day haha

Of course, outfit shoots are in the works! Have a beautiful day and don't forget to smile =)
