Blondie

Who-What-Wear-Elle-Fanning-Vogue-UK-June-2014-Elle-Of-The-Ball-1There are moments when I miss having blonde hair. I know that may sound totally insane because most people cannot believe that I dyed my ginger hairs at all. And while I have come to truly love my natural red hair, being blonde still remains one of my favourites. There is something I have always liked about a pale girl with blonde, icy white hair. It just feels right to me. And Elle Fanning makes it look so so right – icy white looking in some light, golden in others, creamy pale skin, giant doe eyes, made up in perfect 60s makeup. It’s understandable why I like this editorial for Vogue UK so much. I’ve been a fan of Elle since she was a little squirt. She’s one of those girls that you would always proclaim, “she’s going to be gorgeous when she grows up!”, and boy were we right. I like her look, it goes from a sullen coyness to child-like smiles and silly antics. She’s dreamy, and charming, and she looks like 60s/70s perfection in this editorial, and I’m left wondering if blonde really is more fun.

Home Sweet Home / The Spences

DSC_4279As I mentioned in a previous post, my parent’s have been redecorating their home for the last several months. Their shared love for antiques and vintage has created an almost entirely different looking home than the one I grew up in. I couldn’t really get down with that home, but I’m definitely down with this one. In the early days of this blog I photographed some friends homes (and this one), but sort of got lazy at continuing that series, but I’d like to bring it back. So here is my parents home, filled with antique wood, amish tools, tea pots, collectibles, antique crocks and more – it distinctly reminds me of an old country home, which I do hope one day they are able to actually have a country home, something they have desired for awhile now.

Into It, Intimates / Bully Boy Lingerie

Leave a comment

il_570xN.562985019_tf87It’s always pretty exciting to find designers based out of Toronto. I’m often proud to say I’m a Torontonian (by choice) because there is so much talent living in this big city, I feel lucky to be surrounded by it. It’s all the more exciting when I come across Toronto-based lingerie designers. Enter Bully Boy Lingerie. Designer Vanessa Warrack – who is also co-designer of the ever popular Minnow Bathers – creates pieces that are simple in design but stand out with interesting details – v shapes, horizontal and vertical panels covering lady bits. Depending on your style, you could argue that some of these pieces could be worn on a night out with a pair of high waisted shorts/skirt/pants (I know I have seen similar things worn by AA enthusiasts). And why not make lingerie pieces that aren’t totally inappropriate for everyday wear? The more you can wear them,the better, in my opinion. It seems Vanessa has not released any new designs in awhile (correct me if I’m wrong), I’m sure most of her focus is going toward Minnow Bathers, which is becoming more and more popular. But if she does decide to release new designs, well, I will welcome them with open arms.

My favourites: Sheer Mesh High Waisted Panties, Sheer Striped Bra & Panties, Floral Sheer High Waist shorts, Ultra High Waist Panties, Sheer Black Mesh Soft Bra
