prom dress

I don't really believe in buying things for occasions... I think it's always better to stumble upon a beautiful piece and wear it to death as opposed to buying something you're only gonna wear once. What's the fun in that?
Plus, I can neeeever wait to wear something for a special occasion, I've always gotta crack it out early and ruin it for myself! Besides, "special" dresses should get worn after their occasion! If you love it so much, why not wear it everyday?
Therefore, I have unearthed my old prom dress, a lacy vintage thing I got for almost nothing, so I could wear it to work today (which, may I add, I have done several times).
I think it goes especially well with black and baby pink (like my ballet-coloured bun?), so I paired it with some Aldo platforms and old H&M jacket.
If only I were wearing a corsage!

designer portrait series

Pink Tartan


I've been working on this designer portrait series thing for a while.... though I must admit it has been on the backburner as of late. I'm sticking to Canadian designers for this project, and I was trying to do a few lesser known labels that were just showing at FAT in Toronto. I finally scanned in some of the sketches and have been adding some touches of colour in Photoshop... still deciding whether I liked them better just left in black and white. Anyways, these are just a few in progress. Waddya think?

Black and black with just a hint of pink and jade.
I love this Valerie Dumaine silk jumpsuit I got last summer, it's so easy and light... and its got a touch of something YSL as well. And c'mon, the fact that it's backless just makes it 100 times way better.

The pink hair is back! OH how I've missed you pastel sherbet coloured hair...
Why not indulge in sugary colours every once in a while, after all it IS the summer.
