April 9th, 2010








 

last weekend my camera went with me everywhere.
this “dress” used to be the perfect sheer throw-over. but i guess the last time i washed it, it shrunk and now it’s more like a long tee because without tights it’s currently an unfortunately short length from behind.

shooting looks for the blog with trend pieces and in heels can be a total blast and definitely conveys looks that i lean towards a few times a week, but for the most part when i’m running errands, the truth is i’m most likely in some form of heel-less shoes and dressed in more timeless styles.
this look is the perfect example of something i wear on a whim.

Shout-out to Vanessa of The Haute Pursuit, thanks to whom i won 200 bones at Aritzia (!!!), one of my fave Canadian retailers.

sorry for the heavy picture load here, shot with a canon EOS 5D
we’re still trying to get a handle on and the online upload was so trying in terms of the colour results.

    i totally get the short issue. maybe it's getting older but i'm constantly annoyed with ow short things can be. how do you wear this crap w/o tights or leggings! even at stores like aritzia and urban.

    btw. i bought a balenciaga today. the green one i posted about before. i was wanting the town but it's just too $$$$ (esp. from holts) and the green step went on sale so i jumped on it.

    AHAHA..just read your comment! I wished they shipped to Canada, because the bag is just out there, I probably would of got it rigth away.

    The colour of your YSL is amazing, I saw the green one last year at Holt, but I prefer the eggplant.

    T by AW is not meant to be machine washed (which sucks big time). I learned the hard way (most of my tees have holes in them now!!!)
