Happy Thursday all! Power and internet are back in my neighbourhood (phew!), just in time for me to update the shop! Come on by and take a look at the newsies, and maybe a look at the oldies! We still have a bunch of stuff from our look book that have yet to find new homes!

It is my (Alex) birthday tomorrow, and I plan to share the love with a little discount on all items in the shop. Stop by tomorrow to find out more!

Also! You may have noticed the blog layout has changed. The old one was lovely, and we miss it dearly, but I am CSS challenged, and it did not have all the layout capabilities I was looking for as we move forward with the blog, and maybe add some new friends to the side bar. I’m still playing around with it a little bit, so do not be surprised. Slowly but surely.

Jean Shrimpton

There’s probably too many women in the 60’s that I’m like “hey gimme that face!” (and wardrobe, and hairstyle, and make-up, and okay okay your life also). Jean Shrimpton would be one of those women. I think no explanation is needed really. She’s a top notch babe, and her wardrobe, whether it was chosen for her or not, is like my dream.

*most of the photos were taken from a lovely tumblr dedicated to Jean Shrimpton

Last night Toronto got hit with an insane amount of rain, and everything flooded. If you google image Toronto Flood 2013, some pretty crazy pictures of the flooding come up! For the most part I stayed safe and dry – my block lost power for about an hour, and then it came back and I walked down the street for pho. Mostly I’m just jealous of all the people whose office buildings are closed cause of power outages/floods/road closures, cause I got caught in the rain on my bike and am sitting here under neon lights shivering, wishing I was curled up reading any of these books and dressed in far warmer/comfier clothes than I am!

Everyday is like Sunday

It took a very long time for me to find a place in Toronto that I could call home. When I moved here 6 years ago, it took me about 2 years to stop going back to Ottawa so regularly to get my fix of “home”. I have moved six times since re-locating to Toronto. I couldn’t stay put for one reason or another – room mates leaving, unpleasant apartments etc. I’m now in a place that I love, that feels like mine, because it is only mine (and Gus’ of course).

Dabda at The Toronto Fringe Festival

July 4, 2013November 11, 2014Leave a comment

Remember Larkspur’s pop-up a few weeks back? Well all that fun was to raise funds for the Dabda stage production choreographed by Alvin Collantes and Hayley Paone, which will be opening tomorrow, at the Toronto Fringe Festival. For lovers of theatre, dance, film, vintage clothing, the 1940’s and just plain old talent, this is a show I wouldn’t want to miss (and I won’t!).

The dancers will be telling a story of 7 teenagers, growing up in the 1940’s, exploring all the fun, questionable and rebellious things teens do. Sounds good right? Sure does!

Check out the flyer for more details! And maybe take a gander at their trailer!
