birthday

happy birthday to me! happy birthday to me! happy birthday dear me, happy birthday to me!
this is what i wore today to celebrate my birthday and i have to admit, seeing old school blair waldorf in the episode of gossip girl may have influenced me a bit...

winter's coming

these past two weeks have been crazy. i've been so busy with school and the weather here has taken a turn for the weird thanks to hurricane sandy. i wore my lovely new j. crew peacoat for the first time a couple weeks ago which is the first sign (for me) that winter's on its way.
skirt: h&m
sweater: vintage
boots: boutique 9

p.s. i hope all you game of thrones fans got the reference ;)

grace kelly

belt: diesel
dress: forever 21
vest: vintage

i wore this lovely ensemble to my work christmas party. we went to the grace kelly exhibit at the tiff lightbox. it was an amazing day complete with lunch and a limo ride :) the wonderful and iconic wedding dress was at the exhibit along with some of her chanel suits, givenchy dress (very audrey hepburn style) and lots of lovely shoes, sunglasses, hats and jewelry. i think it was difficult for everyone to leave without being inspired by her timeless classic style and to see the taste in each outfit. i even bought two books which have been very helpful! more to come :)

ootd: school spirit / xmas? (09/22/2011)

vest: sirens
skirt: buffalo david bitton
french tips: emerald city

This outfit was one that looked better photographed. (Excuse my bedhead?) Last Thursday was Terry Fox School Spirit day; and due to my lack of school branded gear, this is what I came up with. The combination of Canadiana and black (the other school colour is red) warranted a remark from my sister on my way out the door: "You look like you're going to a Christmas concert."

Sounds about right. Ah well, today calls for shoe shopping. I can finally be rid of those worn-down payless ankle boots! Thus, let me leave you artistic souls with some of our beloved mid-90s Fiona Apple.

ootd: modern tribal (09/14/11)

top: guess
skirt: guess
belt: anne klein
bracelets: zellers
ring: zellers

i need to stop buying costume jewelry at zellers. also, please disregard my bedhead and pouty lips. nail polish in sheer cotton; i love that gold! waterproof e/s stick from gosh. this cream-coloured cropped shirt has a lace-up back- it's what won me over in the store. i also wore my (mom's) marisa minicucci blazer as a jacket, since it was fairly breezy out today.

on a side note, i took an extra ten minutes this morning to punch a new hole in this belt... y'know, so it actually functions as a belt? turns out the label was an impression in the backside of the belt. size large; oops. didn't see that. a leather hole punch would've come in handy, but i made do with a utility knife.
