Yesterday was the last day of Toronto Fashion Week and I stayed for a couple of the shows (the weather was horrible!). Unfortunately, I had forgotten to charge the camera and 3 minutes into the Brandon Dwyer show, my camera battery died and this last shot was the only half decent photo I took (which still isn't even that great). I was so upset because the best part was yet to come- and that was Jessica Biffi’s show! The start was a futuristic sort of movie clip of different models posing in a very robotic/technical sort of way – they would speed up and slow down – AND she played it to one of my fave songs of the moment which was bulletproof by La Roux! The outfits at both shows included lots of corsets…Dwyer’s show had a lot of glimmer/sparkle to it- long flowing gowns which seems to be a popular trend for spring summer. Biffi also had some interesting hoods with a zipper front detail that sort of acted like a necklace….she ended the show coming out with a couple models, to a hip hop jam and peaced us all out! haha….she was awesome and got a standing ovation and cheers from the crowd.
Today J and I started the day at Aris Place in Roncesvalles- its a cute small place and coffee is super cheap at only a buck ;) …well in a couple minutes I will be off to look at bridesmaid dresses with my girl Anne for her wedding =)
Oh and yesterday I was so cold that I passed by H&M to look for a cheap jacket and ended up finding this awesome faux fur at 50% off for just $30! Pretty sweet ….and I got the biggest size which was a 12 so that it didn't fit so cropped and tight- well and it was the last one so I kind of didn't have a choice…haha…but I think it worked out really well! And this is the necklace, white shirt and jeans I wore yesterday to fashion week except I also had a BF blazer and my studded booties to go with the look
Gotta run! XOX

Hey Ashleigh, which Canon Rebel do you use? I'm guessing XSi, am I right? Also, I'm curious as to what lenses you use. I'm planning to get a dslr soon.
GORGEOUSSSS! What a steal for the coat!
Awesome outfit! You definitely rock the faux fur.
