Little bit about me, NYFW



Little bit about me. I’m 25, live in Toronto and love fashion.

I actually can’t remember where it all started (although moving to Toronto probably helped) but to me, it’s one of those things where I don’t question it.

Fashion is my passion. I think about what I’m going to wear, sometimes obsess over it, but I keep up with magazines, trends, designers, and make sure that my outfit always looks good. Which to some may seem crazy, but that’s just me.

My style has definitely changed and evolved over the years, though there were times where I’ve gotten it wrong I can now look back and just laugh knowing that it won’t be happening again.

I mainly shop at Gap, Old Navy and Joe Fresh, as they have great deals keep on trends without being too pricey, which is important. Oh and I love Forever 21’s skinny jeans.

Some might say that style isn’t important but I believe differently. You never know whom you’re going to run into or what will happen, so why not look your best.

Now let’s talk high end!

While I may not be able to afford (yet…), I love the more expensive designers out there. J Brand, AG, Hudson, Paige, Rag & Bone, Current/Elliot are my favourites for denim and leather leggings. Along with them, Joie/Soft Joie, Splendid, Helmut Lang, James Perse, IRO, Rachel Zoe, T by Alexander Wang, Theory and Vince are just some of the designers I love. Not to mention Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Casadei, Giuseppe Zanotti for shoes…can’t forget shoes!

I also love Michael Kors, Dior, Chanel, Elie Saab, Reem Acra, Giambattista Valli, Lanvin, Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren on the red carpet.

One of my favourite events, New York Fashion Week just ended and despite the weather (seriously, mother nature; not fun) the designers pulled off some incredible shows to debut their 2014 Fall Ready-To-Wear Collections.

Some of my personal favourites:

-Rebecca Taylor…She used cool colours and pastels, to give everything a soft edge perfect for fall/winter. I love how feminine her pieces are, while still using neutral colours.

-Theory…I love this designer because he creates chic and modern pieces that are both simple yet structured. Pieces have an edge to them while staying feminine.

-Tory Burch…She used different patterns, embellishments and textures to create some truly beautiful pieces. They have a modern-boho feel and are perfect for fall.

There are also a few selected pieces from some designers I loved including Hugo Boss, Michael Kors and Lela Rose.

Getting to see all the behind-the-scenes action on Instagram was a lot of fun too. So much work goes into prepping the runway shows, making sure that everything is perfect knowing how many eyes are on the designers to put on amazing shows; and I can say that each one of them succeeded.

So, that’s me and a peek inside what this blog is about. My love of fashion.

Stay tuned for more!!
