something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

I love it when you find a garment that is so versatile that you could wear it everyday and never wear it the same way twice!

I found these coveralls on a whim, perfectly distressed with no need for alterations.  Sometimes a find takes a little of vision to make it right, but these had a mind all their own.

Whether it was a fashion show, alpaca farm or blog shoot, worn with sneakers, a designer bag or stacked jewels, they just work!  I just can't get enough. xx

how to wear a one-piece jumpsuit on those hot summer days

I love the idea of a one-piece jumpsuit, but during the summer months it can be too warm, and you may just want to show a little more skin. No problem, toss on a tank or your favourite crop top, tie the sleeves of the jumpsuit around your waist or let them hang from your hips. Instantly you have a completely different look sure to keep you both feeling and looking cool.

finding the ideal fringe jacket

So, my western fringe jacket count this season is up to four.  It seems ridiculous but...yeah its a bit ridiculous!  In all fairness to me, one I gave to a friend, one a is pale pink suede number that I plan to to dye black (any tips would be welcomed :), one is chestnut brown suede and over-sized and the one above, is a beautiful tan leather. 

I found the leather version buried in the back of one of my favourite spots in Kensington Market.  It was tiny, a hard find most often and free from any major damage.  I really liked it for its versatility.  Being leather it can transition to night and add some flare to my typical uniform, all black.
