2016 Oscars Best Dressed

It's no secret that I have a love for celebrity red carpets which is what makes the Oscars so exciting for me. I have included the best looks from the various Oscar after parties as well because they're just a little more fun.

The Running Shoe Report

Running shoes are kind of the thing right now. Everyone is wearing them from street style stars, to the biggest bloggers, to top models. Every high end department store you go into will have a spot in their shoe department dedicated to just running shoes. 

I made a vow two years ago to myself that I would never fall into this running shoe trend. It was so not me and I hated the look on everyone. This was back when people were wearing wedged running shoes (ewwww). Now the more I see running shoes being worn, and the wedged running shoe trend dying, the more it's growing on me. I can see the appeal of the running shoe now when it's being worn in a cool minimalist way, say with a cool t-shirt and leather pants?

So last week I broke my vow. I walked into Holt Renfrew and in their designated running shoe section of the shoe department was a pair of off white Nike Roshes with an off white swoosh. I was sold. 

Here are some of my favourite running shoe looks: 

Fall '15 Street Style and Front Row

Here are some of my favourite street style shots by Tommy Ton and front row looks from the Fall '15 Fashion shows from New York to Paris. 

The top three trends I spotted were the 1970's, hats, and camel coats.

American Music Awards

While I didn't watch the American Music Awards because I was out for dinner with a couple of friends one of the first things I did when I got home was look at the red carpet arrivals online. I wasn't in awe of any of the looks, I still managed to come up with a list of the best ones.

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.
