Montreal Pre-Fashion Week Excitment:

The Christan L"Enfant Roi & by THOMAS collaborative Spring/Summer 2012 Fashion show went down last Wednesday @ the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church on Rachel in Montreal.

I fell in love with the designer's last collection and was completely blown away by what he has created this time around!  The little boy, dreamer, adventurer look makes me think 'Indian in the Cupboard' vs. Little House on the Prairie' I absolutely love the collection.   I want a pine cone necklace, a raw knit slippers & shawl to pair with a cotton print onesy!

 
Models stood like statuesque gargoyles on the church steps as eery classic music drifted out from within.   Great presentation, it caused quite the buzz for walker-bys.

The best part about the show was the guests' attire, there were some awesome outfits out that night, 
it was refreshing to see how outrageous people got, it wasn't what I was expecting to see in Montreal and am happy to see how fashion forward this Canadian cities are.

BRING ON FASHION WEEK!

Toms: Are they becoming a Fad?

I took these snaps last summer on a Euro-trip of some co-travellers' footwear. I had never heard of the Granola Brand TOMS before.   Today: Who doesn't have a pair?  Hipster, Veagans, Travellers, Urbanites, students.....

Lets Hang Out in RL ... what is RL?

If you happen to be on facebook (i made one lazy check and didn’t see you on there), add me. if not, well then we can just hang out in RL sometime (RL, in case you’re not up on your chat room lingo, means real life).
— I got this in an email from an awesome dude I met on my travels.  I love it, it made me smile. The bracketed explanations are priceless, and thank God because ‘no, I did not know what RL meant.’

Funky Shoes from Istanbul, Turkey.  This is a step up from the suede CLARKS the cool kids are wearing.

Facial Waxing allowing funky people to express who they are!


How does facial waxing help ‘funky people express themselves?? .. if you wax it off surely it would be decreasing your funkyness.. no?
Thank you Preston for this piece of randomness!

A fine young gentleman! Prom Style


I spotted this guy at my cousins Prom, his outfit was awesome!!! Slim fit check, fierce bowtie,.. right down to the brown brogues, I can appreciate this.  After asking him where he got his suit he told me ” My mom is like my stylist, she took me to Simons.”
