Fashion Week in the TDotO

Y'all I'm slowly starting to get back into the blog groove...
Two nights this week I spent at Toronto's very own fashion week.
So here it is via my terrible iPhone pics.

So excited to walk up to the tent in David Pecault Square.
Even on a rainy night.


Val and I in front of the step&repeat...at least I think that's what it is called.


 Inside of the tent was really quite cool.
Probably the best part was the people watching and the amazing fashion.
I was so overwhelmed I barely got any pictures!


 DJ and cool light fixtures at the entrance to the runway.


 Media lounge sponsored by Canada's newest American addition...TARGET!
So excited when we spotted this.


When Val and I got to our chairs this was waiting which made it fun and exciting.
The show we were attending was Mercedes-Benz StartUp which is a contest for Canadian young designers...very much seemed exactly like Project Runway.
8 young designers...one winner that would get to show next year and get mentors.
So exactly like Project Runway minus the cashola!




I really couldn't get great pictures because of the bright lights...


at the end of the runway...(look at all the photogs!)


 Wednesday night my mum and grandma came into town to share in the fun.
Notice the new coat!


 Laurel came too so that was a great buffer.


We went to the Joe Fresh show.
It was amazing.  Though a TON more chaotic than the night before.
My mum made it clear while she enjoyed it she wouldn't be repeating.
Oh well I tried anyway.

So it was ALMOST a bucket list item crossed off.
Because I am way more specific...on that bucket list?
Fall Fashion Week in NYC and Spring Fashion Week in Paris.
A girl can dream can't she?

Box Mix

Pic from here.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight so I meant to totally catch up.
But sometimes it helps to just start from scratch.
Well not complete scratch...I more of a make a cake from a box mix and make my own frosting so it SEEMS totally homemade lol.

So here goes...



  • the final day of my Dallas trip- awesome and I cried...I cannot leave Taylor without bawling my eyes out...and every part of me wants to be in Dallas
  • my Ann Arbor trip (minus the Will drama that I did tell you about before and instead filled with fun tails of meeting a new blogger friend who was even more amazing in real life than on her blog ...as IF that was possible)- new blogger friend who is amazing and that is the focus of the trip...Will and I are back to buddies and I may have sent him a totally inappropriate (ie. rude) birthday card that put us back in the bro relationship
  • Dating MrRealtor - still...things were going amazing...now I'm not so sure...but it may have been him showing up at my place on Friday drunk.  Not cute.  Slurring. Not cute.  Grabby. Not cute.  But I made it awkward and I made him leave.  And he spent the next day beating himself up (rightfully so).
  • Trying to avoid dating B (and I feel soooooooooo guilty about it)- I'm successfully avoiding it.  I will see him this Saturday at a Halloween party...dressed as Catwoman (Anne Hathaway Catwoman).
  • Getting bored with the internet dating thing which reminds me I need to cancel my membership!- yipes I forgot but the $209 charged to my credit card sure didn't...that stung!
  • Mundane things in life like car emissions testing/errand/etc that are so boring...making me wish I had a personal assistant!- finished those.
  • I think I owe you a apartment tour update as some things have changed since I first moved in and I'm renewing my lease here...and yes that is sad because it means I'm not moving to a fabulous new country or downtown :(  - will do this FOR sure.
  • Fun new girly activities with my new CanadianCrew ...though they aren't really new anymore- we started a book club...it's awesome!
  • Dress shopping with Laurel for her big day- has been super duper stressful.  As in the other girls have basically all bailed and I'm trying to be supportive.
  • I'm sure I will think of more stuff like my new obsession with FourSquare- totally obsessed...love it. Are you on it?


  • So what's new with y'all?
    I think I will let you know about my fun time Friday night.
    I took Val out for her birthday at a super cool new restaurant in Toronto.

    OH and if you're wondering yes I did throw a dual baby shower (with Val) for Eva and Jane.
    And it was awkward.
    And has made me rethink a lot of things about friendship.

    So anywho.
    I will be better because I need to unwind by blogging.
    Now wonder I've been so stressed out.
    I haven't been blogging!

    Mea Cupola...I think that means my apologies or I'm sorry or I could be making that up

    Pic from here.
    Y'all I'm totally behind in blogging.
    I'm going to blame it on being stressed out about life/work mainly.
    But I'm getting back to it this long weekend (it's Canadian Thanksgiving)

    But to tell you what I need to update about here we go.

    • the final day of my Dallas trip
    • my Ann Arbor trip (minus the Will drama that I did tell you about before and instead filled with fun tails of meeting a new blogger friend who was even more amazing in real life than on her blog ...as IF that was possible)
    • Dating MrRealtor

    When it comes down to it my days/weeks have felt long because I've been busy and trying to contemplate leaving this job and am just so darn stressed about it all.
    So instead I just blow off a lot of things and watch Bunheads or Cheer things that make me laugh and forget about the stress.
    And I've been reading your blogs and just not commenting (I'm horrible I know).
    But I'm going to make the effort because well I like y'all.
