RECENT EVENTS IN TORONTO

Since last weekend Nathan and I have been up to a lot things.. 


N8 and I have known our girlfriend for approx. 6 years and last weekend she tied the knot with her stand-up man. It was a beautiful wedding and reception at Cafe Select. 



On Tuesday N8 took me to Serena Ryder's concert at The Mod Club.
Serena is an inspiring musical goddess.


Singing with her best friend, bandmate, producer, Hilary.



I bought the last hard copy GRACE by Grace Coddington book at my local Chapters/Indigo! I just need more time to read it but the Christmas break is also in our near future.
Nathan bought me this Rodarte x Starbucks Lunch Bag!!! What a sweetheart.
Rodarte are definitely one of my favourite design houses for many reasons.



We were at a Holiday Party in Toronto with 6 friends that Nathan grew up with in Saskatchewan and now I'm lucky enough to be good friends with! The party had very cool abstract art on display throughout the whole loft style office space.




I always have Paris on the mind. My girlfriend grew up in Paris and was one of the only girlfriends that knew Nathan was going to propose in Paris! In the party picture of us I'm wearing my Lanvin for H&M necklace that I waited for at 4am with two of my girlfriends from Toronto.
This picture below is of a graphic on a notebook I bought from the dollar store. I love the artists illustration of the Eiffel Tower. I dream of having this Eiffel Tower image tattoo'd on the inside of my lower right arm.. Thinking about it.

DRIES VAN NOTEN S/S 2013

I have always loved a good plaid and I definitely love Dries Van Noten's collections, season after season. This Spring/Summer 2013 season, Dries Van Noten collection was a modern take on Plaid-Punk. The clothes are dark yet beautiful and slightly "proper" there are a lot of pieces I dream to own.














CARVEN SPRING 2013 MEETS IKEA

What does IKEA and New York Fashion Week have in common? 
They both have Carven Spring 2013 inspired prints!

Recently we bought this bed spread at IKEA and we mainly choose it because it was really bright but still had a little colour. I didn't tell N8 that the scenery reminded me of some fashion prints I had recently seen, I didn't want to "girlie" it up anymore than it already was.. Now just a few weeks later I finally ran across the Carven's Spring 2013 runway show, and there I found the clothes that the sheets reminded me of. Happy I found them to make this note, this style of pattern.
