Some 2012 Blog Highlights


















 I'm not going to get too deep into my last year but it definitely was my best year yet! 

When it comes to my style I have had a huge transition into who I am, which you may be able to tell from even my blog posts. I dress for me and have way more confidence now than I did even 6 months ago and I know the transition isn't over. I guess it could be growing up or it could be a few other things but I can not wait to see what 2013 has in store for me and my closet.

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Grunge - ish





Well as you can tell my hair is back to blonde and I could not be more relieved. It took 6.5 hours of sitting in my "hair gods" chair and an amount of money I wish to not disclose to make the transition back but it was all worth it. I can't even tell you how unhappy I felt every time I caught a glimpse of my reflection. I guess what they say is true, "blonde is better" - well I guess no one says that but I sure do believe it now.

It's In The Bag


Balenciaga Giant Rose Gold City. Rosebud Salve in a tube. Helmut Lang wallet. Pen and Notebook (I always have a notebook and pen in every bag and go through them like crazy). Alexander Wang mini wallet (used as a case for my headphones). Jonathan Adler headphones. Celine sunglasses. IPhone 4S (the life line).

I have never done a "what's in my bag" post so here it is! Anyone who knows me knows I also have a ton of receipts floating around in my bag for work but that's just not as pretty...

The Backpack


As many of you know Mary-kate and Ashley's line The Row has teamed up with renowned artist Damien Hirst to collaborate on limited edition handbags featuring their best selling aligator leather backpacks and prescription drugs. I personally love the above bag that has been described as "wearable art", so I want one! One slight issue is I don't have a cool $55,000 hanging around but fear not I have an idea.
All I need is one of these Topshop Rucksacks. They are real leather and come at a much more realistic price of $500.


And lastly I need a few beautifully coloured drugs... Tylenol capsules and liquid Advil will do the trick but I may even hit up a few friends who can get their hands on the pretty baby yellow and blue Adderall (but forget I told you that). 

My wearable art backpack will come to a total of around $550. Sign me up!

23


 I took some time off from my 3 jobs and blogging last week to enjoy a family trip to Malibu. Relaxing for me is actually super hard to do but I forced myself to enjoy some "silence" for a few days...wasn't very successful but I had a great time and a beautiful 23rd birthday surrounded by sun, sand, family and some good old reading. Perfect.



I did take these selfies before dinner at Nobu Malibu on saturday night. The jacket I actually scored at Saks in Beverly Hills on Black Friday (never seen so much crazy in my life) and the pants were a birthday present from the lovely Elizabeth Clark.

Sunday Dressing






Let's just say I dress like it's Sunday everyday. The thought of being uncomfortable throughout the week just pains me these days so stretchy leather pants, baggy tees and boyish coats have been my go to. This Mango jacket is actually my favorite thing right now and at 50 bucks I'm pretty pleased with myself. The Mango stores here in Toronto have closed so I had to order it online which always manifests into a decision full of angst, "what size should I buy, how is it going to fit, will the duty be more than the jacket" blah blah blah. Gosh sometimes it feels like I'm choosing between children or something when ordering online, please tell me I'm not alone here or am I just being dramatic again?
