BLUE JEANS

This is my “omg it’s spring” face. lol. I am so happy the warm weather is here – and although the weather man keeps saying it may be temporary, this Canadian girl is happy with anything that doesn’t resemble white falling flakes from the embarking sky.

This coming weekend marks my twenty fifth birthday, and I plan to do what I always do on the weekends – relax, see my man friend, friends, eat delicious food, spend time with family and drink lots of wine. Doesn’t that sound fantastic? gah … so excited.

This outfit took me awhile to find – more specifically the pants did anyway. You know when you think of something fantastic but the item you want is nowhere to be found (but in your imagination!) – whelp! I had been on the hunt for light mint pants for awhile, and one random Saturday I stumbled upon these half cotton pair! I was in a state of euphoria when I picked them up, they are insanely soft, and the perfect colour for my skin tone.

This top is one of the best finds I have found in awhile – it’s a vintage silk blouse, worn backwards – from my favorite vintage shop in Toronto. I suppose there is no real rhyme or reason I didn’t put the back detail on here [which is pretty], silly me – but I love re-working clothing that doesn’t fit me properly by turning it backwards, upside down, you name it – the shirt is just one of the many things I have re-worked on my blog.

WILD THING, I THINK I LOVE YOU

My mum used to call me wild thing, it was my pet name from her – I was always the little girl in the prettiest dresses, frolicking around in the mud with messy hair (but at least it had a bow in it!). As much as I feel more grown up then that time in my life, it still seems the same. I can not wear white – ever – for I always seem to spill something on myself, and I always need to bring a hairbrush or comb with me … my hair gets tangled and matted by the end of the day.

I wouldn’t necessarily say I am the biggest trend person, true – I sport trends, but I usually sport them with a vintage twist - sequins, mint, leather, cashmere, satchels – these are all things I have worn on this here blog that were either my Grans, thrifted or vintage finds … but these here floral pants, well – they were love at first {trend} sight.

I wore this outfit to the tents last Thursday for MasterCard Fashion Week here in Toronto. I had a ton of fun blogging for MasterCard’s Stylicity program, where I got to shop til I dropped with Queen West merchants – some of my favorite hidden gems in Toronto.

Head on over to the Stylicity blog to covet {and buy!!} some of the items I scoured!

I spy, with my little eye – something that is … PINK!

This could be one of my favorite outfits ever, although when this was shot – it was frigid-effing-cold out, so it was an inappropriate outfit for that particular day. I just couldn’t help but be inspired by the mass amounts of sunshine that has been glowing as we slowly exit winter.

I feel as though this rather odd and wacky outfit really depicts me well – ha! The blouse is a thrifted treasure – I literally clapped and jumped up-and-down in the store. The bold colour, and seemingly random pattern (animal print, chains, floral, golden goodness? what the?) – I just had to snatch it – even if it was six sizes too big. Meh.

So I had an impulsive urge last week to purchase something - just an itch, a tick if you will – and what did I end up purchasing? neon pink sockets. Oh lord. At least I managed to work them into the post, otherwise the $9.98 would of been completely useless – considering I only wear black socks.

Beyond that, the Marketing Magazine conference was amazing – I learned a lot, networked and was told our panel was great! Since then I have been asked to blog as part of a trio, tripod for World MasterCard Fashion Week here in Toronto. The trio includes myself, the seemingly gorgeous Marta from WithLoveGabrielle.com and the most stylish man candy, Spiro from ItsAllStyleToMe.com. So keep a look out, we will be tweeting, blogging and pinning for MasterCard – also I will be including tid-bits here on the new stylicity tab at the top of my blog, this will feature my wild adventure around Queen Street West – and West of the wicked West…

Thanks for all the love, and I hope you enjoy the ride…
