Au neutural

Saturday, November 7, 2015





Wearing: Thrifted blouse and scarf, Target shorts and Dr Martens boots.

It's no secret that I love mixing prints, but normally I'm more comfortable wearing a lot more colour. Unless of course it's the middle of semester, I forgo washing my hair, I have an assignment due and some kind of presentation to give. In which case clothing isn't part of the equation and I become the most basic human being and more or less exist rather than actually live. So it felt a little strange and somewhat challenging coming up with a cool outfit in a neutral colour palette. I've been dying to buy some silk scarves since I saw the 'How to tie a neck scarf' video by Man Repeller on Youtube (for you intellectuals out there, you can also read the blog post here) Now I obviously lack the cool sunglasses needed to complete this look, as well as any sign of pigment as evidenced by my moon face and long pale legs, but it's still just as effective. Also I feel like I was unconsciously channeling Chloë Sevigny Fall 2012 campaign for Miu Miu. Minus the amazing boots, David Bowie make up and cropped hairdo.

Spring / Summer

Monday, May 18, 2015

I'm beginning to notice similarities between some of my favourite photographers, artists and practitioners. Specifically the photos taken for Atilin's shoes and Eleanor Hardwick's photo shoot with Tenko for Rookie Mag. It's strange to think how two different people can arrive at very similar ideas, with each set of photographs focusing on a particular season. What's even more serendipitous is that they look as if they could have been taken on the same day. These photos are particularly relevant to my readers who are ready to enjoy months of Spring and Summer but anyone who is feeling the cold. While  I do love Winter and getting to wear lots of layers I do wish there was a bit more sunshine to take some photos of my own! If you're looking for some cute summer dresses I recommend taking a look at the Atilin Facebook page if you liked any of the dresses or shoes from those photos. I'm totally in awe of her talent and humbled someone able to create such beautiful pieces is inspired by my outfits
