Flannel

I think we might be being punished for having such a wonderful, short lived Spring Season with these cold, Autumn winds. If you find yourself shivering on the city streets, plan ahead and shiver in style! I've been keeping warm in this charming patterned maroon flannel lately. A little bit of layering goes a long way.

Still Motion

I took the day off today. Every now and then it's important to spend the day in the company of a good late and take the time to distill my thoughts. I spread my curtains open to reveal a little sun and to gaze at my fellow flaneurs-- the sound of the train acting as a soundtrack to this passive interaction. In that moment I decided to enjoy my late outdoors.

I always enjoy exploring my neighbourhood. The change of season adds a whole new perspective to the paths I have walked many times before. I put my feet on automatic and found myself in the middle of an empty parking lot right by the train tracks near my house. As I sat, I took notice of the train in motion, the colourful leaves falling to the ground and the second hand on my watch moving in tandem. I couldn't help but smile at the phenomenon of being motionless amongst all of this change that was occurring around me. In moments like this I feel it is a great dishonor to freeze time and dumb these moments down to a photograph... but the nonetheless I reached into my bag for my camera and tried my best to capture an aura in motion. 

 

Chic

It's finally fall weather which means Layering... and Fur. I bought this lovely wolf tail from a naitive reserve this summer in Peterborough while visiting a dear friend. I think it's the perfect addittion to the tote my friend Jimmy brought back for me from New York this past summer. With an abundance of wool socks and layering in black, fall looks more promising than ever.

Koffee + Krispy Kremes = Kontentment

My Sunday just got a whole lot brighter. I took a morning stroll to Starbucks to do some reading. I'm currently traveling back in time between the world of Marie Antoinette and the spirit of the metropolis in the 1930s for an Office I'm designing. While gazing out of the storefront window a familiar box caught my attention and I decided it was time to reunite with an old friend who will inevitably only give me heart trouble (literally). The clouds parted to reveal a glimpse of the heavens and there were Krispy Kremes for the entire city. ha!

I also finally got around to getting a Jean Jacket for the fall season. It's pretty retro but I love the fit.

Your Stories Excite Me.

Let's hear it for the Noisettes! So cute and so perfect for a premature change in season.

Now if you'd just let me give them back to you..."
