Ethereal

Just a pair of high waisted jeans paired up with a rich caramelized coloured silk top. Bold complimentary jewelry come make up for simplicity of the ensemble. I wore this to my friend's birthday dinner with my trusty sherpa crossbody and monk strap creepers, which gave it a neo-boho flair. It also feels great lounging in this. The classic tank and jeans combo will never let me down, it's just all about how it is put together. I like to opt for contrasting textures like the edginess of waxed jeans against with the smoothness of silk. 

Summer is here! Although its full effect still hasn't kicked in yet, I am already thankful for lazy mornings spent in bed literally doing nothing. Like watching Family Guy nothing. One of the most genius shows out there along with Game of Thrones. However, I'm not too crazy about feeling useless either to the point where humanity doesn't need me anymore, so I'm going to amp up my vacay with some serious reading, work and working out, travelling and social events. More specifically, I would also like to write a song and go camping with friends away from any kind of media for a while. What are your plans?

On Top of the World

Like many, I just crossed a big step. Cegep, that is. Looking back at it, it may have been easy to feel that everything was at its right place, that life was easy and just works itself out for you. Living by your parents' means yet trying to figure what you want for your own life, a comfort zone basically the continuation of high school yet an insightful taste of experiences. Somehow we got bored of it after two years, but when the end approached, I at least could feel a whole new wave of uncertainty coming forth, life itself being thrown at me. A part of me liked what I had grown accustomed to, but the other part of me urges for the freshness of the future. Now I know I am speaking as if something major is on its way even though it is just university - one day that will also get habitual, but may life never.

Flared Flair

 My friend once invented an inspirational quote to make fun of all of the ones out there: "If you always say no, then you'll never say yes", I think it was. Horrible indeed, but there is some truth to it if you think about it. There are so many opportunities that require stepping out of one's comfort zone, and if your brain is always dictating you to remain a couch potato, so many of them will have slipped away. In other words, yolo (also horrible).

On a different train of thought, I am tackling two trends at once - double denim and the omnipresent seventies. I really do love wearing flares once in a while, but I'm still just experimenting. Recently I've been looking for my signature everything, whether it's style or perfume. I think I'm inclining towards natural fabrics such as silk and linen, a little bit more flowy and feminine, but I'm still quite unsure of where I'm heading. Nevertheless, the seventies being in just means that thrifting is back!

Global Is

About two weeks ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in Brébeuf's fashion show: Globalista. It was an incredible experience, and all the profits went to charity. I modeled for Brandy Melville, Annie 50, Unttld, and Maison Marie Saint Pierre. Here is the outcome!
