Billingham!

I’m glad there’s an option out there for a really pretty camera bag that doesn’t scream total tourist. Billingham is my new bestie!

Can you guess?

Can you guess who one of my favourite photographers is? I want to start shooting in black & white… and I might just do that!

Vince porn.

ican’twaitforfall!

Co-founded by Christopher LaPolice and Rea Laccone, casualwear label Vince is fast becoming the name to know in New York. This fall line comprises luxurious staples with a twist. Think shredded linen-blend sweaters, contrast leather shearling coats and draped leather jackets with jersey insets that make up the off-duty wardrobes of style mavens such as Kate Hudson, Renee Zellweger and Madonna.

I love oversized, drapey goodness for fall - it’s so warm, comfy and sexy - the three things I love to feel when the leaves fall.

Jeffrey Campbell tribute to Alexander McQueen

Makes my heart melt!

Jeffrey Campbell will be releasing a limited collection called TRIBUTE to commemorate Lee! Part of the sales will go to a charity in honor of Alexander McQueen.

TRIBUTE:

In honor of McQueen’s ‘Armadillo’ shoes:

I can’t believe I’m so late to this party!

In other news… 2 months until vacation time! I haven’t been on vacation in over a year… I am truly going crazy and am borderline insane. Just 2 more months, he reminds me.

Dr. Martens x COMME des GARCONS

I have rekindled my love for Dr. Martens. I am on the search for a pair of nude high-tops that I saw a girl wearing on Queen street - I die.

Until then, however, feast your eyes on this collabo!

I love the red ones in the third picture! They’re fab.

Faux python slouchy boot

by Maison Martin Margiela.

They are oh so gorgeous. I think I need them! :(

Nerdness around my neck.

Awesomely nerdy. Wonderfully silky.

I really want the Maison Martin Margiela book.

I was flipping through it at Chapters and it is so stunning! I love Margiela! If I ever have children, I might just name mine Margiela (female, of course).

Or Yigal.

Or Alexander.

:)

Happy Friday! I am going to spend my weekend catching up on sleep and… yeah. Sleeeeep.

ROOTS x DOUGLAS COUPLAND

I am kind of surprised with the collaboration that surfaced recently - Douglas Coupland designed a few wearable items and accessories for Roots.. I have read a few of his books, so while I’m surprised an author decided to take on this type of assignment, I’m pleased with some of the pieces that he’s come up with. It’s very true to his nature.

Oooh, circuit-board skirt, scarf and leggings! I think at the very least, the skirt (and the scarf) will have to be added to my closet.

Thanks for the heads up, geekigirl! Images are from roots.com.

Also… Hey! It’s been a while. I’m still here! I’m trying not to melt in this humid, hot, awful mess of a city… and I have been in hiding since Bieber/Earthquake/G20/Blackout. Oh, Toronto - so full of surprises.

Eating in the dark

And, another year passes!

To celebrate my birthday, my wonderful and incredibly thoughtful girlfriends took me on an adventure - an eating in the dark adventure at O.NOIR!

What an interesting experience.

In a lit area (photo above), you are able to pick your entire meal. The waiters/waitresses are all blind, and they then lead you into a dark, dark, incredibly dark room. For some reason, I had assumed that when they said “eating in the dark”, they actually meant “eating in the semi-dark - there’ll be a nightlight of some sort around”. Oh man, I was wrong.

I went with 3 of my girlfriends, but it was really like I was eating alone. I could feel my food, my utensils, and could only gauge the emptiness of my plate with my fingers.

Let me tell you - losing the ability to see - even if it was for just that one hour of my life - was incredibly terrifying. I am uber thankful that I was with them, of all people, to experience this. It makes you grateful for the ability to see.

O.NOIR has 2 locations in Canada: one in Montreal and the other here, in Toronto.
