HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON

I’m bringing crochet back. yaaah!  [justin timberlake - your tune makes so much sense now].

Yah yah, they call me the Canadian Angelina – I know. The Leg. Let’s call a spade a spade ok? Spring is all about the leg swag. You heard it here first – sky high slits and crocheted knits [contact me for rhymes made personally for you by me]. haha.

side bar* for zeee record – I am wearing tiny shorts under this skirt – so don’t feel like this is a little racy – it’s really not.

This skirt, what can I say? it’s another 69 Vintage find – stolen straight from Kealan, the owner. Poor girl loved this skirt – and like many of the clothes I own – this one has a story. Kealan picked this bad boy up in Kensington Market, it’s probably from the 70′s – in impecable condition, and is all sorts of amazing – like many of the clothes in the store, she eventually takes them out of her closet and sets them up in the shop. I was delighted to take it off her hands. I feel like the only thing missing is a flower crown and a good music festival.

Exciting things are happening, I am speaking at the America’s Next Top Model Live! Event next Friday on behalf of French Connection – I’ll be on the Style Stage chatting about blogging, monetization and all things how-to. If you’re in Toronto and want to swing by – the panel starts at 7:30 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

UP UP UP IN THE CLOUDS

I found this skirt a few months ago at one of my most coveted vintage shops in Toronto – 69 Vintage. My girl Kealan owns the hot spot, and 90% of the things I buy from there are directly from her personal wardrobe – I am almost certain she no longer takes it personally when I walk away with her treasures lol, after all – she insists – this skirt however, was hanging waiting for me upon my arrival. It was days before Toronto fashion week and  this girl had not a thing to wear (ain’t that always the way though?). $40 – 1970′s – an ace.

The top, well – this was from my most recent Value Village take over – (read last post) – $5.99. I had never thought of green being electric – but apparently that shade of green does exist – for I now own an electric green button up.

Head on over to my eFriend Jentine’s blog My Edit – her last post is all about how to distinguish what to look for when thrifting – my goal is for her and I to one day smash ideas together to create a Thrift Bible. Thoughts?
