Come on Get Rhythm

All Ideas Are True: Opening Ceremony SS11 from Opening Ceremony on Vimeo.

I'm aching to go thrift shopping for a few hours, running my fingers over fabrics, prints, cuts, and styles. Oh but tomorrow Citizen Vintage opens its doors for the first time from the 10th to the 16th and I'm seriously looking forward to it. Along with hitting up the vintage shops, I plan to use the rest of February to catch up on the school work I've horribly neglected and get out to the gym - there is no excuse, the Y is half a block away from me.

EDIT: Citizen Vintage Sale is moved to next Wednesday at a new space "Off Interarts" - check their facebook page for more info.

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

All Wrapped up in Blue

{Mink in the forest and three cats drinking from a bowl of milk}

I love this pin because I have three cats in Toronto, and its like they've jumped onto my jacket. I'm wearing all vintage today except for the tights which I found at H&M for two bucks. The coat was snatched from a garage sale in the summer for five dollars and the hat I got for pennies at a Goodwill warehouse in Toronto called Buy the Pound.

Weave me a Wintertale

One of my favorite things about coming home for the holidays is rifling through every closet in my house and finding awesome clothes I forgot I had or never knew I had! The plaid skirt, red tights and fur jacket were all pulled enthusiastically from the depths of my closet. I'm pretty excited about these shots, its the first time i've taken a tripod and fancy schmancy outfit to an outside spot. in this case, the ravine down the street.
