DESIGNER: Titania Inglis

"Equally minimal [to her designs] is the line’s environmental impact. Every garment is sewn in a small factory in New York from sustainably sourced fabrics including Japanese organic cotton, French vegetable-tanned leather, and dead stock wool from New York’s garment industry." --official site

I particularly adore the simple black and white, washed-out look of her S/S 2012 collection (those pants are precious), not to mention the variety of sturdy black wedges pictured on every model. Inglis is a pro at shape and form, as exhibited by the following poncho from her previous F/W 2011 lookbook.


The line runs around the $200-$500 range, not exactly student-friendly, but not bad for being eco-friendly and for some of the more versatile pieces.

let it go

tee, headband: h&m; shorts: jecci five; necklace: urban planet; wedges: guess

i found these on my computer from the time i wore all white two months ago. actually, i've dressed angelically head-to-toe three times already this year, perhaps at the expense of looking like i was hitting the gym on the first occasion, and my getting soaked in the rain another time.

fashion resolutions, 2012

I don't ever make New Year's resolutions. Only in class when teachers force me to- though I think the last time was grade 3. Despite its title (purely for conventional purposes), I've compiled a to-do list for the fashion student in me.

1. If I won't cut it, I'll try new ways to style my hair. I've never been to a hair salon or had professional styling in my life, but I love my hair as it is without layers. Usually, I wear it down with a variety of side, off-centre, and centre parts. This year, mastering (the art of braiding) spontaneous hairdos to match my spontaneous style when I need to will be one of my goals.





2. Stylish lounging. Out of family habit, I tend to strip my day clothes immediately upon returning home in favour of comfy pj pants and an oversized tee. (I mean, how else are we supposed to use those gigantic unisex shirts from marathons, summer camp, and gym class uniforms?) Can I look put-together and sophisticated at home? I want to be able to answer the door like, "nbd, I'm in pjs".




3. Wear all white. I'm loving this clean, crisp (anti-don't-wear-white-after-Labour-Day) look for year-round. Even though it's these models are donning monochromatic neutral outfits, they would definitely stand out in a crowd. Unlike gothic black or rainy grey, Monochromatic white gives off a very minimalist vibe.



4. Keep up. I rarely watch runway shows (and when I do, only on YouTube) or read magazines. Instead, I'm frequently trapped in the non-idea of suburban fashion: pseudo-brand names (wtf is a lululemon, really), "hipster" boolah (wtf does "boolah" even mean), and dressing to fit in rather than stand out (wheretf did we replace unique with u-need-to-look-like-everyone-else). I'll look out for inspiring big city street style, and maybe even runway trends. Who knows?



5. And lastly, take better photos. I've put off getting a nice camera (and lens) until now. At the very least, I'll take more shots outside, as to spare you the view of awkward closet doors and door stop thing (you know what I'm talking about).


Your turn: what resolutions have you made for the new year? Comment!

school look one

i had absolutely no idea what to wear to school today and last night i texted my friend asking her what i should wear. she told me to "wear that white shirt" , i have at least 5 white shirts...so i mixed it up a bit and layered pieces which is especially huge this fall. i wore my favourite skinnies and a sheer shirt over a tank top. i was wearing purple flats but i recently had toe surgery and wearing closed toe shoes is probably not the best idea but because its so chilly and i walk to school , i really have no other options !

jeans: lucky brand
tank: roots
shirt: anitsa paris
flats: sam edelman

p.s. joanna and i wore the same things today but in different styles ! no , we didn't plan it :)
