Business As Usual

I wore this outfit while at a presentation for a prominent law firm in Toronto given by a personal stylist/wardrobe consultant who I work with once in a while. The presentation was all about how to dress for your body shape (whether it be pear, hour glass, or an inverted triangle) in a corporate setting. Due to our location I needed to look like I work in a corporate setting but also show off my own personal style. 

I wore a metal silver choker for a trendy and fashion forward look and paired the statement piece with the most comfy black dolman sleeve top from M for Mendocino with my favorite high waist wide leg black pants perfect for an office. 

Living in Leather

Leather, leather, leather. Everyone wants to wear leather but not everyone wants to face the discomfort that comes with wearing leather. It's a misconception that wearing leather pants goes hand in hand with being uncomfortable. My leather pants aren't uncomfortable at all, at least not any more uncomfortable than jeans. I love leather because they add a touch of chicness to any outfit and can be worn with anything from shirt dresses to a sweater. 

Don't worry. You will not have a Ross Geller moment when wearing leather pants.

Armani Films of City Frames

This past weekend I went to the Toronto International Film Festival like I have been for the past five years. I saw a couple a movies and some celebrities like I had the years before. The only difference this year was that I actually got to go to a party that they were all at. On September 6th I had the pleasure of being at the Giorgio Armani Films of City Frames party at the CN Tower. How did I get to go you may ask? Well I was hired by a family friend photographer - George Pimentel to edit photographs taken at the party. The majority of the photos I was responsible for editing were the atmosphere and party photos while the other editor was responsible for party and red carpet photos. One of the coolest parts of being present at this party was not only that I was at at a TIFF party hosted by a big fashion house and rubbing elbows with celebrities such as Jessica Chastain, Denzel Washington, and Chloe Grace Moretz while I wasn't in the editing room (360 restaurant),  but I had never in all my 17 years been into the CN Tower! It was amazing being up there for so long having the entire place to myself (for a bit) while watching the sunset from 1 500 up in the air. This weekend was a weekend I will never forget and am so thankful for having the opportunity to have had it.

Meet Me in '73

My favourite fashion decades were definitely the 40's, 60's, and 70's. The 40's because of the elegance and glamour, and the 60's and 70's because the styles were so new and different than what fashion had  previously been like in past decades making the 60's and 70's cooler than all the rest. This past Wednesday I went out for lunch with my sister and a friend of ours to a popular Toronto restaurant called Fresh. As you may have picked up from the name, the restaurant is "all healthy and stuff" and seems to attract a lot of hipsters.  I decided to wear a 70's inspired outfit wearing printed palazzo pants, a high low - open back shirt, and ray bans.
