Hello all! So yes, I have very much been MIA for the past month. I've been canoeing through northern Ontario and Mid-Manitoba on the Berens and Pigeon Rivers for about three weeks, and it was a trip of a lifetime! So many great memories that I'll never forget! So, I thought that since I couldn't exactly report on really anything from the middle of the wilderness, I took some pictures of my friends' trip outfits and my trip outfit, just to give you a taste of what we were wearing for the month.
There's me on the left, Emma in the middle, and Meaghan on the side. All of us looking mighty fine in our trip apparel!
It feels good to be back in T. Even though there is really nothing much better than the feeling of being out in the remote wilderness of Canada, there is just something comforting about the city air (minus the summer muggy-ness), and being surrounded by so many different things, and having endless possibilities.
Today I was catching up on all my fashion news, and I was reading the September issue of Vogue, when I came across a column of celebrities wearing floral clothing by a CANADIAN designer, named Erdem. I had never heard of him, and as soon as my eyes went across the word "Florals", I dropped the magazine (well, slight exaggeration. I had to finnish reading it so my sister wouldn't snag it) and hopped onto the computer to do some investigating. I looked at some of his past shows, and I was extremely impressed. Not just with all the floral pieces, but he uses such amazing prints and patterns, beautiful colours and fabulous cuts of dresses. I had only wish I had known about him earlier.
The dress on the left is from his Spring/Summer 2010 Collection, and the right is from his Autumn/Winter 2010 Collection. Both stunning pieces!
I literally just came home yesterday, but as school is soon approaching, my whole family is taking a trip down to the Big Apple to drop off my older brother at school, as well to check out the US Tennis Open. It will be fantastic! Summer sales, brand new fall clothing! We only have one full day in the city, so my sister and I will be hitting up SoHo where I'm sure we'll do some stellar shopping, and while I'm down there, I plan on doing some Sartorialist-esque street fashion shots! I think you've got a first legitimate post coming your way. So stick around! New York is always full of surprises.
