In the Pink

Friday, April 10, 2015



Wearing: Meadham Kirchhoff X Topshop sweater, Emma Mulholland denim shorts, Atilin saddle shoes and cat amulet by ginette lapalme (etsy).

I normally don't wear all pink, nor am I the first in my age group to do it (see Pink Zoe Experiment) but I thought it would be fun. Plus it gave me an excuse to wear my cat amulet from Toronto artist Ginette Lapalme which I should wear more often to be honest. People certainly treat you differently when you wear all pink- it's like you're some crazed lunatic or something. It's certainly a different reaction than say, if you were to wear all black in which case you are effortlessly chic and epitomize style, elegance and grace. Or people are more likely to comment and say something snarky compared to wearing all black though. It kind of sucks that people think their opinion carries greater weight than say your own self-esteem or creativity but I've learned not to let it bother me. This frame of thinking has largely been helped by badass bloggers such as Susie Bubble and Tavi Gevinson who learn not to take things to heart (unless what they did was genuinely offensive or showed some kind of prejudice).

Atilin Handmade Shoes

Thursday, April 9, 2015












 If you've been dreaming about a pastel filled world where rad babes where amazing leather shoes and equally rad chokers, I'm here to tell you that it exists. It's run by the amazingly talented Ati Lin from Argentina who not only has a great eye for style but strong sense of morality. You see, not only does her make the shoes by hand but the leather she uses are 100% recycled offcuts of the highest quality. With these materials Ati seeks to introduce new colours combinations and textures in order to create something new and exciting. Rather than following trends she wants to achieve something different or subconsciously references the sub-cultures and those that inspire her. I've been mooning over her saddle shoes but she also makes combat boots, Mary Janes and platforms in a variety of different colours, even holographic materials! You can check out all her designs at her Etsy store, or on Facebook or Instagram.

These photos also really reminded me of something Tavi posted on Style Rookie five years ago now, which I thought was also worth sharing.
