Dionysus Tropical Print Gucci Tote
Dionysus is the god of wine and fertility. He brought one of two symptoms; joy and ecstasy or brutal, blinding rage. Dionysus is a child of Zeus and Semele a mortal being.
The leather tote with linen lining conjures memories of childhood settled on the couch watching 'The Jungle Book.' Like Dionysus, Mowgli had a traveling companion, Dionysus was said to have crossed the Tigris on the back of a tiger, where Mowgli had Baloo the Bear. Gucci makes the perfect tote for the Disney character in your life.

Shoes.com has just opened their first brick and mortar location on Queen St., just east of Spadina Ave.
I didn't realize it was an all black party and I showed up in mostly floral. I was greeted by two charming associates and handed champagne! I browsed through the various selections of Hardy, Richer Poorer, John Fluevog and Teva footwear.
The store concept is based on the premise of online and trunk show shopping. You are able to see and try on the shoe, then have it delivered to your house. The perfect shoe shopping for the whole family!

For a lot of men, mixing prints and trying to make patterns work is like attempting to figure out astrophysics through the Dummies Guide. For others, it’s as simple as taking candy from a baby!
Kenzo gentlemen look haunted and dusty, Ann Demeulemeester is all well and dandy and Ports 1961, is silky and smooth. Whenever these designers showcase a collection I am always amazed by the colors and textures they bring to the runway.
Every season it gets weirder and harsher, the jailbird looks by Acne, the confused gentlemen by Costume National Homme and the lumberjack pyjama boy from Dries Von Noten.
If ever you can’t put your stripes and plaid together these are the collections to observe and emulate [with caution!] Good luck and happy fashion!

This heat is amazing! Toronto is gorgeous, and my tan looks amazing.
Despite the fact that its Monday, I'm happy! I woke up this morning with a vicious headache, so I went back to sleep until noon, had brunch and got to work. I may or may not have had a Caesar during my meal, so I came home a little bit more chipper, anyway, makes for a more eventful day!
How was your Monday?

I had a lot of fun with this look. Bit sassy I may say, I feel naked, well I am naked. Remember when Rihanna wore that nude dress to the music awards or whatever, well, I'm doing the same thing, except I'm not wearing a thong under.
The nude dress I found while walking in Chinatown. I saw it in a shop window and thought that I might try it. It's a great slouchy for those days around the house, or can be sauced up for a night on the town.
The heels are a bit much, but whose counting, I love these puppies. I only wear them on occasion and find that no matter where I wear them, I always get complements.
Necklace is from Anice jewellery in Kensington Market and the dress/overcoat I purchased in a thrift shop in Parksville.
The whole outfit, I must say, is how do you say; Mother not approving!
I'm tired of magazines telling me what is "trending" and what isn't. For myself, I could never listen to that, I need to follow my own beat. As you can see my Toronto Law jersey dances to its own drum, and no, I did not go to law school.
Pleats will be in for the rest of my life, so when I saw this adorable pleat skirt, I grabbed it. When I was in Arizona, on my way out of the boutique I saw it had a twin, only in navy blue, same size, the lady gave them to me for a dollar each. The shoes I wore during my graduation, and the bag is a piece I found at Aldo on sale! I was in need of a solid coloured bag, and blue always makes me feel better.
This outfit it super girly, with a hint of tomboy hidden gracefully in the pleats. I love this outfit, its totally me!
PS-
Blue is my favourite colour.
