What Rules?! : Mixed Metals

Sweater – Cotton Candy   // Skirt – Uncle Phuncle c/o Emerging Thoughts  //  Coat – UO  //  Tights – Hansel From Basel  //  Boots – Feet First  //  Leaf Necklace – I forget  //  Pearl necklace – Ruche  //  Purple Chain – bought in Spain  //  Right Hand Bracelet – F21  // Left Hand Bracelet – made by me

The link up was a bit of a failure.  I think that means you guys just want some inspiration.  Which is totally cool with me!  So I’m going to continue breaking fashion rules, and if you’d like to join me leave your link in the comments and I’ll be sure to check them out.  ‘Cause I love seeing what you do too.

Next week I’m breaking a rule from the 50’s that said you should never wear high heels with cropped pants.  Apparently the connotation was that you were more than a bit promiscuous.  So I’m breakin’ that rule next week before it gets too cold to do so.

Today. Today, I Am On Set

Top – Lush // Skirt – H&M //  Sandals – Rocketdog  //  Necklace – Threadsence  //  Sunnies – F21
Today.  Today I start shooting on the feature film that I’m producing and acting in!  Today.  Today I am in the office.  On set, at varying locations, including parks, bars, universities, houses, and cafes.   Today.  Today I start makin’ it happen.  Today. Today, is the first day of a long awaited project and it’s going to be great.  Today.  Today, I am an actor and producer.
Today. Today, I thank all of you who tweeted, and contributed to this project. Thank you!   If you’d like to see behind the scenes updates of what you helped make possible, don’t forget to follow me on twitter and instagram.

Raggedy Ann And Playing Pretend

 

Skirt – Ruche  // Top – Anthropologie   //  Shoes – Payless  //  Belt – swap  //  Earrings – F21
Sometimes, in the midst of craziness, like trying to get Synchronicity funded, I have a moment of just plain fun.  Like, when I went this one morning to be a hair model for my friend.  I got to have my hair professionally done and walk around all super fancy for the rest of the day.  It was so glamorous.  
Of course, the following day I was back to my old raggedy Ann self, but it’s always fun to play pretend. 

Pull Over I’ve Got To Throw Up

Skirt – One Rad Girl  //  Top – I forget *old*  //  Necklace – F21  //  Shoes – Threadsence

I was headed to set again this fine morning *so that means no hair or makeup done* and we had to pull over because our girl suffers from the same things I did when I was a child – car sickness.  So we had to let her out of the car to run around after she had thrown up *she was fine two seconds after*, and I figured that was as good a time as any to take some outfit shots.

Here I am folks, in my bright nerd glory.  On set one of the guys turned to me and said, “You really are such a nerd.”  I answered, “Yes, yes I am.”

Pride and Canada Day

Tank – Gap // Skirt & Sunnies – F21 // Shoes – don’t remember // Necklace – Threadsence 

Toronto is in full swing with the Pride parade.  Toronto is awash with rainbow colors and the celebratory mood of acceptance.  How great that we should also be marking our nation’s birth?  This mosaic, mish mash country is fabulous.  Let’s let our inner patriot come out and raise a glass to Canada.

p.s.  Google Reader is over today. Would love if you followed me on Bloglovin’ from now on.  Thank so much!!

The Great Divide

Top – Latiste via Ruche  //  Tank – Gap  //   Skirt – Spotted Moth  //  Necklace – Kenya
If you’ve been reading a while, you know our fence blew down a while back, and the house next door has remained vacant for some time now.  What that means is that the backyard has grown wild and high with plants.  And it’s created a bit of a divide in our world:  The manicured control versus the wild abandon. 

Raw Kale and Toddlers

Top – Winners //  Skirt – F21 dress that I converted to a skirt  //  Belt – swapped  //  Hat & Sunnies – F21
Our friends call us the Hippie parents.  And I always wonder why exactly.  Sure we grow veggies in our garden, eat organic, gluten and dairy free as well.  And no we don’t stress over her eating dirt or kissing the dog; germs are good for her immunity.  But here’s what explained things for me. 
I was busy juicing veggie juice for all of us.  I turned around to see Baby Girl standing and munching on the raw kale from the bowl of veggies prepped for juicing.  She was happily eating away and smiling at me.  I smiled back and started juicing.  Then she got upset because I juiced her ‘snack’ *that’s what she called it*  Juicing veggies, and a girl who gets upset when you take away her raw kale?  Yup, we’re hippie parents all right.  If by ‘hippie’ you mean kick ass awesome! Come on, a toddler who eats raw kale and likes it?!  That’s got to be some kind of achievement.

Daily Exuberance

Top – ChiQle via Bicyclette Boutique  //  Tank – Gap  //  Skirt – Ezra //  Tights – HUE  //  Boots – Feet First  //  Scarf – Street stand  //  Necklace – I forget (old)
Baby Girl goes to the shed with me every morning.  We open the doors and reveal her pink tricycle in it’s nightly slumber.  This reveal is accompanied by a very over pronounced and energetic, “Oooooooooh!” Followed immediately by, “Wow! I like my bike!!” I just love how this simple event evokes such joy from her.  
How do we lose that as we age?

Through The Wringer

Sweater – John & Jenn  //  Top – F21  //  Skirt – Skies Are Blue  //  Tights – F21  //  Boots – Locale  //  Necklace – Threadsence
That’s where I’ve been this weekend.  In an artistic and emotional way that’s where I’ve been.  It’s been an exhausting lat three days and I have been challenged pushed and amused.  I like to think that I’ve come out the other end a fuller, and more complex artist and actor.  But man, could I use some chocolate!  Lindt, would you like to sponsor me?

How Come I Always Get The Tail End of A Dog?

 Top – hand me down  //  Skirt – C’est Moi  //  Belt – F21  //  Tights – HUE  //  Boots – Feet First   // Necklace – Ruche

Why is that when Drake the Dog decides to photobomb my outfit shoots he always has to either be showing the camera his bum or, when he’s feeling really classy, relieving himself?  Or both.  I tell you he’s one classy guy that dog.  In fact I’m surrounded by nothing but class:

The dog that relieves himself in front of the camera, the husband who’s teaching our daughter to belch, and the baby girl who thinks her farts are hilarious!  *yes, Daddy taught her that one too*
