NEW YORK FASHION WEEK: DAY ONE

Floral dress: Lucca Couture / Combat boots: Maje / Bag: Celine / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Clubmaster / Braclets: Asos, Topshop, Hermes / Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Hello Hello! 

This year I decided to embark on a journey that I've only dreamt about, up until this point. I bought an airplane ticket, RSVP'd to invitations, booked a hotel room, and started planning my outfits. I've been following Fashion Week for years now, and every year I tweet something a long the lines of "Everyone is at fashion week and I'm just in bed being irrelevant". Now that I'm here, there's not a moment I have that isn't filled with gratitude. I seriously walk down the streets of NYC and smile. Maybe I'm cheesy, or maybe I'm quite literally in love with this city.

On the first day, I had the absolute best time meeting with bloggers from around the world. Come to think of it, one of the best parts of this trip has been the possibility of meeting other like-minded people. I met Liza, a russian beauty blogger, and we spent the afternoon window shopping, filming fun little videos for YouTube, and of course, what kind of tourist would I be if I wasn't taken to Times Square? ;)

When night rolled around I met with Sofie Eliseeva, one of my favourite Russian fashion bloggers. We spent some time in TriBeCa, drinking "French toast", which seriously- if you run across a cocktail that shamelessly shares it's name with a breakfast, run away.  

For my first day, I decided to wear a Saint Laurent ad inspired outfit that I was instantly drawn to when I was scrolling through the September issue of Vogue. Floral print dress, fishnet tights, combat boots, and you're good. It's the perfect mix of innocence and grunge, and I am 100% committed to this beautiful lovechild of styles. 

See you tomorrow for more Fashion Week craziness!

WHERE ARE YOUR PANTS?

Unicorn T-Shirt Dress: ROMWE (similar) / Sneakers: Converse / Fedora: Guess / Purse: Alexander Wang

Did you forget your pants at home? Why aren't you wearing pants? Where are your pants?!
Are those not the only comments you see from people when bloggers wear t-shirts as dresses? 

They are. 

It's quite awesome that long shirts can be worn as dresses now-a-days. You feel half naked, but you get the comfort of being half naked. 

This majestic t-shirt, err, I mean dress was absolutely perfect for attending a fairy themed Zumba party on my last night in Orlando. I swear I did not even know the theme of the party was fairies, but when I walked in, it was like destiny. 

I'm just a majestic every day guys, really, it's nbd ;)

Fortunately yet unfortunately, my battle with the beautiful yet extremely humid city of Orlando is over, and I'm flying back to Toronto later today. See you back in TO!

ORLANDO.

Hello from Orlando, Florida! 

I'm here until the end of the week as media coverage for the Zumba Convention! Today I got to interview Victoria Justice (the interview will be up later), take a pretty dope picture with Sean Paul, and yea, obviously got to do some Zumba myself at the Zumba Concert, which was the most lively concert I've ever been to. I'm definitely not a dancing type, but I am a fun-fitness type. I strictly refuse to do intentional exercise like going to the gym, going on runs, etc. That's just not what I'm about, I like yoga, biking everywhere, walking everywhere; so Zumba is right up my alley. 

While I'm here, I'm not only attending all the fun events, but I'm also soaking in the Florida sunshine (obviouslyyy). It's actually quite tricky to dress for the humidity over here; it's so hot that it's a burden to be wearing anything at all really. I decided to sport this gorgeous silk t-shirt I got while at the event that The Coveteur & The OUTNET hosted last week in Toronto that I had the pleasure of attending. I'm obsessed with all things silk, so this shirt had my name written all over it. The skirt: an all-time favourite, and the shoes, we all know, I love because they are a comfortable alternative to heels (at least in my eyes). 

I'll see you all soon with another less-is-more outfit while I fight the tropical heat haha
