PREP FOR TORONTO FASHION WEEK

Fashion Week seem to have started last Thursday in Toronto, but starting Monday is World Mastercard's Fashion Week runway schedule. Monday to Friday afternoon and evening presentations from top and emerging designers, inside the large white tent downtown. I can't wait to see a A/W 2013 runway show or two...

I know I'm attending Joe Fresh's runway show Wednesday. Tuesday evening, my friend Andrea and I are attending 7 For All Mankind's party at the Thompson Rooftop Lounge. Fashion Week is also notorious for last minute invites when people's plans change, and you may get a call from a business colleague that afternoon. You have to be ready in a moments notice. Here are some pieces I'm planning to wear next week during Toronto' semi-annual, Fashion Week.

MY DOONEY AND BOURKE BUCKET BAG!

I have been in the love with the bucket handbag since Alexander Wang launched his "Diego" bucket bag. Recently I saw set of genuine leather Dooney and Bourke's bucket bags and I haven't been coveting one since. Today I decided to check out Dooney and Bourke bucket handbags online and research what type of prices/deals I could find. After a quick lead back into the beautiful world of, Etsy.com I found some great vintage Dooney and Bourke bucket bags at great prices.. When I spotted this vintage Dooney and Bourke bucket bag in EMERALD GREEN all-weather pebble leather and tan trim, my stomach dropped. It was fashion love at first sight. I found this beauty through an Etsy shop and seller, FreezingMoonVintage. I am so excited, it's my Birthday present!

WOO HORSEY!

Screen printing leggings, why didn't I think of that? I would wear these with a black tunic. I have to make a Polyvore set with them.. I wonder how many others will use these items for their set?
