shoes galore

Some people have such treasures in their home. A girl can dream. All pictures from The Selby.

the beach

Karmen Pedaru in an editorial for Last Magazine. For me, summer's all about the sun and the beach. My backyard is my favourite place lately. I also discovered this urban beach downtown in my city of Toronto that I can't get enough of. It's man-made but it's by the lake and it's perfect for my current state of lazy days.

lotsa lace

Take a look at some of my fave looks from 3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2010. Loving: the lace, the casualness, and the rolled up skirt in the last photo. Source: Style.com.

another take on floral

hiatus

I'm back after a ten day hiatus in London, England. In terms of street style, anything goes. So many more people will wear knockout heels during the day, on the subway, in a park than here in Toronto. I wish I could do the same without getting death stares or cat calls...

In terms of shopping, I did a lot of perusing stores but I didn't end up buying too much in the end. I found that all the vintage stores I checked out had a "boutique" feel which meant they marked up the prices. I like my thrifts cheap... you know, like Value Village cheap.

Buys worth mentioning:
- harem pants (I finally did it!)
- cropped floral top
- Marc by Marc canvas tote
- zip-up black skirt
- vintage black see-through top from Portobello Road

Even though it was kind of nice being away from the virtual world, I'm glad to be reunited with my MacBook. I feel so out of touch with all my favourite blogs and it's times like these you realize how many endless hours you spend online. Time well wasted I reckon'!

first comes caged shoes then comes caged skirts

Sure, it looks great in these photographs but how would you really wear these cheeky numbers? Savant skirt on I don't like Mondays via Bleach Black.
