FREE YOUR MIND

Lucky you, I am posting twice this week lol, although 99% of you know I post only on Thursday’s (if that, yah … I know!!) – but this week is different – mostly because I am posting daily on MasterCard Stylicity Blog (YAY me!!), and I thought – huh – maybe I should post more often on my own blog this week, seeing as it makes zero sense to ask you to go here, and here – to see what I’m up to on Stylicity for MasterCard Fashion Week – and not post at least two outfit posts!

So here I am. Wearing my mum’s 80′s plaid and the cheapest skirt ever – really. Oh, and the ears – yah – they are amazeballs!!! $20 from Fashion Crimes on Queen St … but you’ll have to stick around to see what else I’ve purchased through Stylicity’s great savings program!!

EARS: Bad Bunny | Fashion Crimes
SHIRT :80′s Plaid | Thrifted from my Mum
SKIRT: Black Pleated Pleather | F21
SHOES:  Suade Penny Loafters | Dolce Vita

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!

HAT: Thrifted | from my Mum
NECKLACE: Gold Bib | HM
SHIRT: Mustard | F21
TROUSERS: Wild Floral | Anthropologie 
SHOES: Rosettes | Badgley Mischka
WRIST: Thrifted Gold Chain

FREE FALLIN

HAT: Knitted Beanie // Aldo
BLOUSE: Thrifted 
SKIRT: Chiffon Skirt // Jacob
SOCKS: Neon Pinks // Top Shop
SHOES: Nine West 

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…
