Exciting times!

I am moving into a new studio apartment in 3 days. It is very tiny. I plan to make it as comfy and cute as I can. I feel as though I have a duty to make it the girliest bachelorette pad one has ever seen. After living with boys and staring at neutral colours for quite some time, my love for flowers and the colour pink has grown exponentially. That's not to say that I won't miss the nights that consisted of beer and Call of Duty.

Anyways- photos of my decorating techniques coming soon!

ALSO

I am going to India in 13 days. I am hoping to get some wonderful photos from this beautiful place. For abroad inspiration, I watched Joey L.'s documentary on his travels to Ethiopia.

Here are a couple of wonderful ladies who celebrated birthdays this weekend:

Ricky Bionix

I recently photographed a DJ from my hometown who moved to Toronto. I had to take some "natural environment" photographs for photojournalism. Ricky's apartment was perfect with over 1200 records, DJ equipment and music posters.

Check out his first gig in Toronto Jan. 26 @ 9pm at Nacco. (1665 Dundas St. W)

What a better way to start your day than getting your daily dose of creative fashion.

TEN FASHION BLOGS/TWITTER FEEDS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT:

1. The Locals

RIP Copenhagen Street Style. One of my favourite fashion blogs just announced that they are closing their site. HOWEVER- photographer for the popular blog Soren Jepsen has his fabulous blog to fulfill your Copenhagen needs in the meantime. The Locals features everyday people on the streets of the happy city wearing extraordinary ensembles. From minimal and classy to wonderfully tacky you will be itching to wander these fashionable streets yourself after scrolling through this blog. One thing that I particularly like about this site is the men that they feature. I am a big fan of menswear and I often find it lacking in fashion blogs. This one covers it well.

2. Jak and Jil

There is something about Jak and Jil that stands out from other fashion blogs. Perhaps it is the incredible use of imagery. The photos don't merely represent a look, they are individual pieces of art. The photography is my favourite. Jak and Jil doesn't just cover street fashion and call it day; they cover things from runway to exhibits and illustrations. If you're craving edgy creativity and high fashion then this is certainly the place to be.

3. Fashion Toast

Rumi Neely is exactly what every fashionista wants to be. A regular girl with an incredible eye who now has a one of the most popular fashion blogs. Her images are stunning and her taste is impeccable. What is also enticing about her blog is that she artistically shows off accessories as well, not just clothing. Rumi has such a distinct and unique style that I admire. Big accessories and interesting patterns are always paired well. Her images are inspiring because it's something that any girl with good taste in fashion and a good camera could pull off- but she does it so well!
