Shorts, Shorts, Shorts!

I think one of my goals this spring/summer is to thrift more shorts. Although I hate wearing pants (have gone without them for about 2.5 years now), shorts strike me as comfortable and fun. Not to mention I'm not at risk of flashing anyone when wearing a pair!

David Jack.

Monday night was quite the evening for Kate and I: after getting dolled up (it had been a while since I'd worn heels, no casualties!) we headed out to the David Jack show at Subeez.

I attempted to document my eye makeup, inspired by this genius D.I.Y. by Ivania. Hopefully next time I try it out I'll be able to get clearer photos, it was surprisingly easy to replicate. Trust me, I'm not makeup master, so I was quite pleased with the results.

I'll admit, I hadn't a clue what to expect during the show. After sipping a glass of white wine and anxiously awaiting the show, the lights dimmed and the models descended upon us. Crystalized visions, the muses wore a palette of nearly celestial cremes and taupes, accented by Swarovski crystals. The looks were elevated by phenomenal nail art, makeup and spell binding tresses. I tried my best to get some shots of the garments on the runway, but unfortunately, I am complete rubbish at photography which requires flash. Regardless, I included the "best" of my snaps.

A quick shout out to Little Fashionisto, who I finally met in person that night. We even shared a short stroll, complete with shared umbrellas. M'c Kenneth was warm and wonderful to be around, I hope to run into him again around the city. It's always nice to discover that stylish faces from the Internet are welcoming and friendly in real life. All in all, 'twas a solid evening, thanks again for the invite David Jack!

The Best Times.

I always am guaranteed to have a great day when I hang out with Zoë. We had delicious brunch at Slickity Jim's, where the conversation ranged from pants vs. no pants to activism and social change. That's one thing I love about Zoë, we have the ability to go from completely frivolous to more intellectual and meaningful topics with ease. That and she is super fun to be around.

We finally got joint outfit photos (!!!!), much to the disdain of a girl riding her tricycle in the park. She didn't look too impressed. Also, we kind of coordinate! Blog dates=awesome mates. Ha, ha, I'm a cornball. As proven by my cheesy faces in these photos.
