Ace Frehley naked

Someone found my blog by searching for "ace frehley naked". I think my work here is done.

In other news, today I drank a latte. Not really news unless you know what I haven't had a coffee since 1995. It was possibly not a good idea since after I drank it I wasn't able to do much productive work and I felt kind of gross. It's not like I don't drink caffeine since I drink tea and Coke Zero like it's going out of style but it didn't really sit well. It tasted pretty darn good though.

Yesterday after work I hobbled over to the Eaton Centre to get a pair of shoes that I could walk home in. Yes, I could have taken the street car and it wouldn't have cost the same as a pair of shoes, but where's the fun in that?

I got these Hush Puppies at Town Shoes. And while there, I ran into a guy who used to work at Cora's in Halifax who is now the Assistant Manager at Town Shoes. o_O. Small world? Yes!

Not exciting shoes but they got me home without stopping and curling up on the sidewalk in pain. So YAY to Hush Puppies! And really, black flats with corset type lacing? Seems good in my book.

Look at me! I'm looking over my other shoulder! I'm CRAZY! First coffee, then changing my poses! What's next?

After work I went to the Hollywood Laundromat to some some laundry. Then I went to dinner and had some awesome cherry pie for dessert.

Yes, I do believe I am happy.

Good night!

It's time to begin, isn't it?

It took me a long time to walk home tonight. First because I went into a store on Queen Street that I never would have gone into since the window is full of platform heels and flouncy prom type dresses and discovered that they carry VIVIENNE WESTWOOD clothing and shoes. *thunk* The owner showed me four pairs of heels including these Scarlet heels (which I thought were much more expensive than this).

The other reason it took so long is that I have a blister the size of Cape Breton Island on my right heel.

I'm in significant pain in this photo. I'm surprised my eyes aren't bulging out of my head.

Shirt: Spaksmannsspjarir in Reykjavik (last worn here)
Dress: Smoking Lily (last worn here)
Boots: Fluevog Presence | Intuit (last worn here)

Not really all that exciting. I'm getting really tired off my limited wardrobe and now my move is delayed until next Monday or Tuesday. :( I was hoping to be out of this place by the weekend but it looks like I'll be here and likely being kept awake by the bar downstairs.

I'm holding onto the refrigerator because I'm dying from PAINNNNNN... Poor feets.

On my way home I passed a woman who looked at me suspiciously. A minute later I heard someone behind me holler at me. She was walking back to me and asked "where's a good place to eat around here, someplace hip and funky?"  I didn't want to tell her that I've been here for 3 weeks and so far have eaten at The Golden Turtle Vietnamese place 7 times and at the Lakeview diner about 9 times so I suggested what I thought might be "funky" or "hip".

I did suggest The Saint (i might have called it "The Priest" though)  which I have eaten at so I hope she went there. They have a drink called the Knob Cobbler. o_O

It's 8:30 now. Best do my dishes and tend to my blister. Good evening all.

Khaki Green

 Jacket-Zara/Jeans-Edgars/Bag-Céline/Shoes-Isabel Marant/Tee-Mr.Price/Bracelets-Nomination and Hermés 

This Zara military inspired jacket is gorgeous, I love the gold detailing around the collar and wrist cuffs and the khaki green is such a lovely colour! I paired it with my Isabel Marant sneakers which  finished off the look perfectly for me :) My bag also seemed to blend with the colours in the outfit which I also love! 

Have a great day everyone!! 

There's no stopping us right now, I feel so close to you right now

This post is a little late because I took myself out to Pizza Libretto for dinner. OMG so good. Prosciutto, mozzarella, basil, tomatoes...OM NOM NOM. I really like my adopted neighbourhood and am happy that I'll be staying here when I move into my new "permanent" apartment.

Today was a busy day at work. I'm still finding my feet and I hope everyone will continue to be patient with me as I learn all the new acronyms and official processes. Also at my old job I was "senior management" so I'm used to making decisions. Now I have to defer to those above me so I'm trying to not step on anyone's toes. Hopefully I'm doing it in style.

One of the directors did comment to my boss that she seems to only hire people with fabulous shoes. :)

Dress: Pi Organic bought at Chartreuse Style (last worn here)
Shoes: Pour la Victoire from Balisi shoes

My shoe enabler sent me a photo of these shoes from the Balisi window a few months ago and I was all like GHA! I ended up acquiring a pair in black but I still coveted these red leopard print heels.

I went into Balisi two weeks ago and low and behold they were 75% off! And in my size! It was kismet!  And now...they are mine.

They are very high...4.5" heels but I love them. I will love them and call them George.

I think they match my hair perfectly! (speaking of hair, I'm looking for a new stylist in TO that can help me maintain my red/dark brown colour combo. Suggestions?)


Having this small capsule wardrobe is forcing me to mix colour that I normally wouldn't consider. It's making me abandon my "matchy matchy" tendencies and look to putting different colours together like periwinkle and red leopard.

I like how the back looks with the blowsy bodice. This will be a very comfortable dress this summer.

Ok, good night all!

Trying to find the inbetween

Still sick but much better. Someone at work today said "You look much better than you did on Thursday. You looked horrible!" I know what they meant but I didn't think I looked that bad. o_O

Today I wore my more subtle cat dress.

Dress: Mango (last worn here)
Belt: Noujica (also last worn with this dress)
Shoes: Fluevog Presence | Impel (last worn on Saturday)

I'm getting tired of these shoes but I like how they blended with the design on the dress.

My favourite part of this dress is the back.

And that's all I've got for today. Other than to mention that my condolences go out to anyone who was personally impacted by the events in Boston. Terrible.

Simple: Black And White

 Pants and Blazer-Mr.Price/Shoes-Zara/Bag-Saint Laurent/ Bracelets-Nominations/Bracelet-Hermés

I do love a simple black and white outfit, I think I may have quite a few outfits on my blog already that only consist of these two colours. But for me there's something chic in this simple combination, and I often revert back to it when I'm in need of a comfortable outfit. 

I love these pants, they're almost 'boyish' in appearance and paired with my new 'loves', my Zara sneakers (which remind me so much of the Céline sneakers) they looked great! I also adore this blazer, I love the subtle touch of faux leather in the lapels, it's gorgeous!

Have a wonderful day everyone!! 

Saucy Sunday

Happy Sunday all. I'm feeling much better though I still have quite a cough. It gets worse when I'm out walking around but despite that I ventured out to another new part of the city to meet Shelley for a Vintage Clothing Show near St. Clair St West. For the first time I took all 3 forms of transit - the bus, the subway, and the streetcar. Wheee!

Sadly I have no vintage clothes with me at the moment so I decided to go all hipster. (And I was having a pretty good hair moment when I took this photo. Which reminds me I need to find a hair stylist...gha!)

Blouse: Vero Moda (last worn here)
Dress: Eva Franco (last worn here)
Tights: Peek Brooklyn (I link because I love)
Shoes: Fluevog Gateways | Brandenburg Light (last worn here)

I wanted to wear my Fluevog Ayers heels with this outfit but I knew I'd probably be doing a lot of walking so I opted for the Brandenburg brogues. They don't look to bad with this outfit.

I took this photo before I put my shoes on. Minx! These are full tights but are designed to look like thigh highs. I may have hiked my skirt up a bit when I met Shelley at the Vintage show. SAUCY!
