WEST SIDE STORY

When one slowly enters into the realm of adulthood, it is generally believed that said person would start to shift their life's attention to more adult related priorities. One of those priorities is house hunting...or ummm in this day and age, what I like to call "house dreaming". And believe me, it starts much younger than adulthood. For the majority of my adolescence and teen years I have been fascinated with the thought of growing up and getting to do things my way. One of these glorious freedoms to which I will one day endeavour is of course house hunting, and subsequently, house decorating (which is the most important part anyways). So, as I draw closer and closet to the looming day of when I officially can fly my parents coop, I become more and more drawn to the decoration and story creation of decorating homes. Both inside and out... but mostly inside because in all honesty I will probably move into an apartment first, so the only exterior landscaping I will be doing is through a flower planter box. But anyways, those are just details.

Here lies another addition to my copious number of interior inspirations. Surprise! It originates from NYC's West Village. (if you didn't pick up on it that was meant to be sarcasm, because if you are on here enough uou know my obsession with New York is no secret ;p)

When it comes to summer beauty, there really is nothing better than looking darn awesome with little to no effort. I mean #iwokeuplikethis is trending for a reason, amiright?? And leave it to the masters of effortless cool, Urban Outfitters to master yet again another major summer beauty trend: easy, breezy, beachy "i just rolled out of bed but look hot as shit" hair :) So find below a bevvy of beauty tidbits to help leave your hair looking all shades of awesome, and possibly allow you to stay in bed 20 minutes longer. If that isn't enticing, I don't know what you're doing with your life. If you need me I'll be out shopping...

HOT WHEELS

There is really very little I remember about bicycling as a child, and it's not because I had some terrible experience with a bike once upon a time and now my psyche is trying to repress any horrid memories. It is simply because I wasn't really a biker in my younger years. I was the child who was more inclined to baking cookies, picking flowers, reading books and basically doing anything that didn't require excessive amounts of physical activity. Come to think of it, I haven't really changed much since then. But one thing has changed.... I now want to ride a bike. I've had a bike sitting in my garage for many years with the hopes that I would one day get up the interest to take the thing around the block, but I will admit, I hate hills. They are too much work to conquer on a bike and what do you know my house sits atop a hill... so hence, no biking. But these images you will find below, make me want to rethink my aversion to such steep terrain in hopes of having an experience as glamorous as the one Erica from HonestlyWTF did with her new Papillionaire bicyclette. Who knows, maybe replacing my current bike with this beauty will make me an active individual after all...

THE FOURTH COLLECTION

If any of you reading this personally know me, or read this blog on a fairly regular basis you know by now that my obsession with dainty, feminine & minimalist jewellery is borderline unhealthy. But that's okay because not everything we do in life is healthy...we gotta keep things interesting from time to time. What you may not know though, is my deep, unrequited love for BREAD & CIRCUS. I've mentioned them once before on this little blog here, when I first discovered them in the spring at a fashion marketplace event called INLAND (check them out too). The jewellery, everything from rings, earrings, necklaces, chains and chokers are just absolutely heavenly. The balance between refined and rustic metalwork is enough to make one never turn back to cheap trendy jewellery brands, no matter how inexpensive. I honestly do not even know how to describe to you all in words the feelings I feel when I look at the images from B&C's latest lookbook, and then again the feelings I feel when I look at the price tags...Yes a bit pricey I will admit! But all B&C jewellery is crafted and designed by hand, the designer is Toronto based and doesn't outsource (hooray for home grown talent), and prides herself on using real, high quality metals. None of that shit that turns your skin green thank god. Oh and by the way her friends are super awesome, which I also had the pleasure of meeting at this past season's INLAND when I bought my first of many B&C pieces... Three rings was enough damage for one day. 

SO! Feast your eyes below at The Fourth Collection by Bread & Circus, and be prepared to never look at other jewellery the same way again...or for that matter, at all.

RESORT 2016 | WHIT

One of the most glamorous details about working in fashion are the shows and presentations that are around the corner pre every season. As an outsider looking in we really only see the beautiful photographs and read the eloquent (sometimes) expose's after the shows have commenced. With the likes of Instagram and Snapchat, nowadays we also get to see of the moment snap shots of looks literally as the walk down the runway. But for me, there is nothing better than having a crisp, brightly lit and beautifully coloured photograph to encapsulate a show or presentation by a designer, even if it takes a few days or week for those images to hit my desktop; because I'm patient like that. But I also feel that a designers work is so arduous and taxing, creatively inspiring and enlightening, that it is a shame to degrade the creations they've mastered with an il-lit photograph or a blurred and fuzzy Snapchat. But that's just me.

So this week (aka today) when I discovered the brand Whit, NYC label and child of Whitney Pozgay, a whole week after her presentation for Resort 2016 debuted at the Gramercy hotel in New York, you can imagine my pleasure when I finally saw for my own eyes what everyone else has been lusting over.

So to keep things short let me just say: the clothes. the vibe. the prints. I want it all!
