/ I found this fox fur stole a couple of weeks ago in Dongmyo vintage market, along with the knit vest so I thought I'd put together a very neutral outfit for today's look. It's hard to tell from the photograph but the t-shirt is actually quite long, almost down to my knees. I usually knot it up in the bottom corner to give it an asymmetrical look but sometimes I rock it long as well. The gold brooch was a birthday present from a friend and old roommate who now lives in Toronto. We share a love of vintage, costume jewelry.



I picked up the Italian leather moccasins at Getoutside Shoes on Queen Street in downtown Toronto (amazing selection) when I visited there for the first time over the summer. A friend of my calls them my 'Lindsay Lohan circa 2008' boots, but they are so comfortable and since I'm Canadian I can just say they are part of my heritage - ha.



The PLAC white jeans are such an amazing fit and they have this great waxed coating on them. I did one modeling gig for PLAC and was also given a few pairs when I took street fashion pictures for them in August. These white ones were a gift for taking party photos at a PLAC sponsored WhiteNoize party at Club Answer. Here are a few links to some PLAC related entries:

I'm kind of a nerd for antiques as you can tell from my living room and I love elaborate frames - I found the 3-D Jesus on the street by my house actually and some of the other artwork was done by myself or my friends. These two photographs are vintage street fashion from the late 40's/early 50's. They are my paternal grandparents Noni & Peter Burton and the photographs were taken in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. My grandfather died in 1997 but my Nani Noni is still around and I spend as much time with her as I can each summer when I go home. Both were hero's of mine throughout my lifetime for their kindness, their love and even for their fashion. Grandpa always wore some sort of a hat which I copied a lot growing up, and Nan was always wearing neutrals with bright autumn yellows, oranges & reds to match her fiery red hair. These photographs mean a lot to me and they were definitely part of my inspiration for starting this blog.
