a life update

 

if anyone still follows this blog after my absence, i wanted to give you the courtesy of explaining what's going on and why i've been gone! i fully intend to get back into blogging here regularly come september, and i also have another project that i'm excited to start up with a friend which will hopefully be interesting. i've been gone because i've been struggling with some health issues and also had a lot of responsibilities this summer; seeing my family, a crisis with my friend, and a lot of work. but i've also gotten to work on getting clothes that fit my new body shape and i hope that with my health recovering i will be able to take regular outfit photos again, as well as post some more articles and photosets from vacations and events. i may feature some of my friends on the blog as well!

for now content yourself with this set of photos from my friend's (and photographer's) jazz show at a cool bar in montreal called resonance cafe, where i was allowed to guest perform on a song i love. not posting photos of the pianist in the duo, because no permission and we are not close friends, but i hope you enjoy my outfit and i hope to come back soon with more real content! happy summer!

winter green



skirt, danier (thrifted); sweater, club monaco mens (borrowed); stole, joe fresh; gloves, mexx; boots via winners; coat, gift from a friend

thankfully winter seems to be gradually coming to an end in montreal and i thought i would celebrate spring and appreciate one of the last wintery days by combining my favourite winter textures (fur and leather) with the colour of spring (green). this coat was just sort of randomly given to me by my stylish friend crystal who i hope to feature on the blog one day, and while it isn't as warm as real fur, it's perfect for days when the temperatures are just below freezing.

christmas lights



valentine's day blush and leather




crop top and necklace via winners, thrifted leather skirt

a belated valentine's day outfit post for you! i forgot i even had this on my camera. as you may have noticed if you follow my tumblr, i acquired (thrifted) several leather skirts over the christmas break in an attempt to drastically reinvent my wardrob and this one is probably my favourite (it was only $7). i really like the look of the narrow, highwaisted skirt with a loose crop top this season especially with the contrast between hard and soft in these two fabrics.   i hope you had a happy valenties day!
