Rod Stewart’s Lovechild

Jacket – Threadsence   //   Shirt – hand me down  //   Jeans – AE  // Boots – DIYed by me  //  Sunnies & Necklace – F21

I found this Rod Stewart shirt in the donate bag at my mom’s house.  I think it was my sisters.  Anyway, I cut and altered it to fit me, and now I think it’s the best ironic t-shirt ever.  You see, though I’m not a fan of Rod Stewart, my mom is.  So much so, that if they had ever met in the 80’s I’m pretty sure I would’ve been their illegitimate love child.

So really, this post should go out to my Dad in another life.  Love you man.

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder..Or Something Like That

Top – thrifted // Tank – hand me down // Jeans – Gap //  Boots – c/o Dansko  //  Necklace – Lustre Boutique
Shooting the first block of Synchronicity last week was great – apologies for my absence here.  Those of you who follow on Instagram saw a lot of the behind the scenes.  Also, I’ll be posting updates on my acting site regularly so you might want to check that out too *more details and pictures from the shoot*.  This was actually a ‘to set’ outfit.  Driving two hours means I want to be comfy all the way.  
Getting back to regular life has been hard, mostly due to the fact that I’m soooo tired for some reason.  I’m dragging and not really feeling very motivated.  But that doesn’t mean anything. I’ve gotten back to work on client photos and other things.  Looking forward to getting some rest too!
p.s.  Can you believe that it’s September?!?!?!

The Perfect Fedora

Top – Ruche //  Jeans – Gap  //  Hat – known  //  Sandals – Rocketdog  //  Sunnies & Earrings – F21
Yes I’m still on set and will be for a while.  All week in fact, so these photos are actually from the weekend.  Sorry, fooling you a bit here.  But I love a great fedora.  Biking around this summer has meant that I don’t get to wear them that much, as I’m always wearing my helmet, but a fabulous fedora is pretty much my perfect accessory. That and amazing sunglasses.  Can’t live without those. 

These Boots Were Made For Walkin’

Jacket – Zara  //  Top – unknown  //  Jeans – Gap  //  Boots – c/o Dansko  //  Sunnies – F21
You know how they say shoes make the outfit?  Well they do.  These cool Dansko boots have a great weight and feel to them.  Such that they give me a bit of a strut.. and hells yeah I’ll take that.  I put on the outfit and felt good about it, but when I put on the shoes all of a sudden I got a bit of rockstar attitude.  Yes, I know it’s all in my head and I’m not really a rockstar but hey that’s what clothes are for right?  To play pretend.  
The boots are really what did it.  Despite the fact that my bootcut pants covered the top of them *side note:  can’t wait to wear them with a cute dress to show off the button detail*  they added a great finesse to my whole day.  I love the classic cut with a little unique detailing.  It’s something that can go with anything in your closet, and be timeless, but still have a bit of stand alone edge.  
Oh and yeah, they’re super comfy.  My feet were not sore after a whole day of walking, meetings, and biking.  Yes, I biked in them all around Toronto.  That’s just how I roll. 

Bare Naked

Shirt & Sunnies – F21 // Jeans – Gap  //  Booties – Walmart  //  Jewelry & Bag – Threadsence

This particular morning I was headed to set.  So that means nothing done.  No hair. No make up.  I had straightened my hair a few days back, so I just kept that as it was when I woke up, and all I did was put on moisturizer. 

Normally I do something.  Put on some concealer, and mascara at least.  But nope.  You have to have a fresh face for the artists to do their work of turning you into your character.  Hence, washed and undone I went forth.

At least Han Solo added a bit of swagger to my step.

Relinquishing to the Sun and Wind

Top – Motel Rocks//  Jeans – Gap  //  Belt – AE  //  Sandals – I forget  //  Sunnies – F21  //  Earrings – I forget.

Some days are just this whirlwind that is life, and I relinquish myself to the air.  This day I spent time recording a self-tape audition for a tv series, biked in glorious heat across town while listening to a Star Trek audiobook, spun and reveled in outfit self-portraits while the folks over the security cameras probably laughed, fenced and fought for a few hours, and biked again while the city sighed under the cool evening.  
Days like this I try not to think and just enjoy the hedonistic pleasures of the physical exertions and the sun and wind on my skin.

A Life Unstructured

Top –  Maddy…K  //  Blazer – UO  //  Jeans – Gap  //  Shoes – Payless  //  Necklace – Ruche  //  Earrings – gift  //  Bracelet – Threadsence    //  Purse – Matt&Nat

Blazers huh?  That seems to be the theme the last few days.  Who would’ve thought.  Maybe it’s the fact that I don’t work in an office and therefore have absolutely no need of office attire that has been drawing me to them?  I like the structure.

Maybe that’s it.  Maybe I’m just needing some structure lately.  Standing in the checkout aisle at the grocery store while my Baby Girl dances up and down, around the other customers, twirling through and around them, at once amusing and frustrating them, I probably could use a little structure.

Since I’m unlikely to get it from my toddler anytime soon.  I guess I have to settle for a blazer.

Wild Ferret

Top – some random site  //   Jacket – Ark&Co.  //  Jeans – Gap  //  Necklace – Threadsence  //  Shoes – Payless  //  Sunnies – F21
You all know I love a good paradox or contradiction in terms.  Well, pairing a feminine, sequined jacket with an Aliens inspired tee is pretty much the perfect combination for me.  It’s like the rock ‘n roll tee and chiffon pairing but for nerds you know?  Here I was on my way to a backyard fencing league some friends of mine started.  My fighting sigil?  Wild Ferret, because at one point someone sparring with me said it was like trying to bottle a wild ferret.  That’s me.  Cute, cuddly, wily and vicious when I need to be.

Taking What No One Wants

Tank & Jeans – Gap  //  Vest, Belt & Sunnies – F21  //  Hat – unknown brand  //  Shoes – Rocketdog  //  Necklace – thrifted

My last day in NYC I packed up and walked around airplane ready.  Now for those of you who are imagining me tramping about Central Park here burdened with luggage, I will say this:  I went to NYC for five days with a small backpack that was half full.  I had all my necessary cosmetics, and clothes, in that to last me a week.  Yes, my secret talent is packing lighter than most think is humanly possible.  On the way back, my backpack was full only because I had such great thrifting success! 

Case in point:  I picked up this necklace for under $4. 

Side note:  thank you once more everyone for hating on this vest.  Because no one wanted it, I grabbed it from the F21 website clearance for a measly $7.  And I love it!

Just Darn Annoying

Jeans – Gap  //  Sweater & Sunnies – F21  //  Scarf – Trove  //  Necklace – Ardene  //  Bag – Ruche  //  Shoes – Threadsence

This is pretty much my sick outfit.  And not sick, as in super awesome and cool, but sick as in I’m fighting off a horrible cold that makes me feel like hacking out my own lungs.  I resort to comfy and cozy things when I feel crappy.

I find being sick really annoying.  I don’t feel well.  I have low energy.  But the responsibilities and tasks don’t diminish.  So I just find it darn inconvenient to have to be ill during these moments.  It’s not like there’s anything seriously wrong with me, so I know I’m fine, I just can’t get through my daily tasks like before.  So yeah, it’s just annoying.  I could really do without it.  Maybe I’ll start a petition that’s anti-cold.  Would you sign?
