The Old are Gold







The Old are Gold:

All I can say is "we made it"! High school was four of the best years of my life so far. I know everyone has a different experience but I can honestly say, although there were definitely hard, awkward, uncomfortable, embarrassing and unenjoyable times, I had such a great time. I met amazing new friends, learned a lot about who I am and what I care about and above all... graduated! Through all the high school drama that you're supposed to expect during those years, I still remain friends with the best friends I've had since grade one (Madi and Merkir, I'm talking about you!) and newer best friends who I met at Galt. Meg, for example, is a great example of bonding over snacks in grade nine science class can earn you a lifelong friend. Lots of close friends are not pictured but I enjoyed every minute I spent with them in the "chill zone", "g-spot" (embarrassed to even refer to those places as that) or athletic hallway. I met a great group of guys and girls who I hope to stay in touch with for a very long time (...parties back home at Christmas???). Although it's sad to say bye, I'm already started on a new and exciting 4 more years that I hope rival - if not top - the last. As cheesy as it sounds, thanks to everyone who made my high school experience so special... and as the cliché yearbook comment remarks, "don't every change Galt Ghosts"!

Until next time...

See ya later alligators!

WMCFW: Soia & Kyo

Continuing with our (still new) seasonal tradition, Shannon and I attended my our second show together and decided to see Soia & Kyo. The show was amazing and I loved the idea of the grass runway for the SS15 collection, and the designers carried out the everyday theme by having Gemma the Frenchie walk down the runway with the models (shown above taking a pose backstage)! Going backstage and getting street-style snapped were the highlights of the night. We'll see you next season, WMCFW!

Nothing says confidence boost like not being ID'd...

WMCFW: Hayley Elsaesser:

This fashion week, not only did I feel lucky to now live in the host city of Toronto, but to be part of such an amazing University program where show tickets are given to us for FREE! Wednesday night we got to be a part of Hayley Elsaesser's debut show after the Canadian designer had been living in Australia for 5 years. Hayley is also from my small home-town which was more than inspiring to find out. The best part of the night was being with my new friends and classmates and sharing their first Fashion Week experience! I chose to wear my Joe Fresh silk sport-esque pants and iridescent panelled Zara top with white leather heels and some pink lipstick to top it all up.

Fall Attire






















Fall Attire:

I'm home! My little neighbourhood has never looked so pretty with its changing colours compared to the infinite skyscrapers in the city. Don't get me wrong, I love living in downtown Toronto, but coming home makes me appreciate the old trees and Grand river more than ever. Contrary to popular belief, this Topshop cape is not a blanket, although it definitely acts as one these days. Worn with a black tank, dark wash jeans and some block-heeled Chelsea boots, it's an easy fall outfit that fits in well with the autumn colours that we all love so much.
