Still Life of a Blogger

My friend Sofia lives in Toronto with three amazing cats and one amazing photographer named Daryl Banks. One day over dinner she said to me "I want to arrange a shoot for you with Daryl. As a present!" We set the date for December 18th - which I decided was also going to be my second birthday, Toronto Stylez. The shoot took place at night, and the day was spent shopping for a dress to wear to said shoot, getting my eyebrows done and eating dinner with my family at my favorite restaurant Rodneys Oyster bar.

These pictures are very special for me. I want to keep them forever and pass them down my future child, who will pass them down to her future child who will pass them down to their child who will say "Thats my great-bubby when she turned 21 for the second time."

Big special thanks to Daryl and Sofia. ** And on another note, to the girl from class heres the documentary I was rambling on about

Livin La Vida Vintage

I’m never that intense about sticking to my resolutions but I’ve always used the turning of a new year to reflect on the last twelve months and start envisioning and dreaming for the coming dozen. This year I'm thinking vintage and bringing more of it into my life. Cause with every little bit I collect, I find a little more of myself (d’aaaw) and I hope you’ll slowly but surely start to see this evolution on my blog too. If I was going to make a legit resolution out of this, it would be a challenge to myself – only buy vintage for the next year.

How was your new years eve btw? Equipped with a bottle of champagne and a fancy hat on my hairs, I took to the streets of Toronto with my closest friends from grade 12, who I've been lucky to spend every new years with since. These pictures were taken in a cafe, which we had full reign of for the night (belongs to a friends mom) then off to a bar in Kensington Market (where I got my little black dress) and later, a party!

New Years Eve

Its the last day of 2010 and I just got my 100th follower. Thank you so much! I see it as a sign for fashion made me funky and my coming year on the inter-webs! I'll be sharing my New Years Resolutions in my next post - and I promise, they have nothing to do with weight loss!

This dress was recently purchased from Flashback, a vintage store in Toronto's Kensington Market. It was $33 - the most I've ever spent on a vintage dress! But I love it to bits because its simple and timeless and was made in Montreal (along with the hat I'm wearing, which I got fifty percent off at Goodwill). Thigh high tights are H&M and the shoes are originally Nine West but purchased second hand.













I hope you all have an amazing New Years Eve! xx

Lets All Get Drunk On Christmas Day

Egg nog recipe here

Because I belong to the Jewish faith
I don’t get that buzzed by Christmas day
But pour some liquor in my nog
And I’ll be buzzing all day long.
I’ll trim the trees and deck the halls
If I’ve got some alcohols
And I’ll merrily spread the holiday cheer
So long as its paired with a cold brewed beer.
It’s the holiday, so whatever your taste,
Lets all get drunk on Christmas day







(All the photos are from my favorite food blog Eat Make Read. There are loads of stunning cocktail recipes filed under the tab Happy Hour. )

Twenty One Candles

On Saturday night we celebrated my birthday with cheap champagne, pizza, and lots of drunken singing to the Supremes. We went out later and I lost my phone! A sign that the birthday girl was drunk enough! In the pictures below I'm wearing a new vintage bathing suit that Jenni gave me...it's got a fierce low back that makes the boys swoon (and we know they're suckers for that..MWAHAHAHAHA).
