Jumpsuit H&M, ankle boots Zara, coat Winners, bag Chanel, headwrap/scarf vintage, sunglasses Zumel & Co Don’t you feel that sometimes that we all tend to want to people in very defined categories, just because it seems easier for us to understand them? You know what I am referring to:  you are either only a democrat or liberal, religious or atheist, you either love rock or r&B, you’re either good or bad, and so on. There are so many categories that we want to put people in, but I think we are all such complex and interesting beings. This also applies when it comes to our sense of fashion and style. It’s funny how you should only be either preppy, or street inspired, or minimalistic, etc. I can never put myself into any of those groups. The only group I can place myself in is eclectic. I love (almost) all styles and trends. I wear all of the ones I feel comfortable in. I love pushing myself out of my  own comfort zone. It may sound funny, but I am not very ...

Coat Zara, dress Zara, boots Forever 21, vest unknown Ebay, handbag Chanel, Don’ t you find that sometimes in the winter even some of your favourite or even warmest coats are just not warm enough? The wind gets through, or they are too wide on your body to keep you snug and warm? Yes, you could wear puffer jackets but I gotta admit I’m not a fan of those. They usually make me look like a column with no shape. Actually, I do have a cylinder shape but that’s not necessarily a look I like to go for.  The oversized puffers are not warm enough for me because they are just too wide. I need my coat to be closer to the body to feel warm. You may wonder why I’m talking about this now. Well, to be honest, I forgot about these pictures I took a month ago. They didn’t come out great so I wasn’t sure if I were going to use them or not, then I completely forgot about them. And for those of us living in Canada or even north USA, we may still brace for some cold harsh winter weather, de...

Fur coat vintage, jeans Gap, sweatshirt Harvard gift shop, sneakers Forever21, bag Louis Vuitton, earrings H&M, faux fur accessory ball Winners How many of you own fur coats? Whether you got them at a vintage store, inherited from your mom or just bought a new one, do you get to wear it often? They don’t come cheap so would it not be good to get the bang for your buck? (Let me translate this for all of you non-Canadian readers: Wouldn’t you like to get most for your money? Hehehe) Do you find yourself only wearing it to big events such as New Years, weddings or some gala? I find that in Canada, being that we have a more casual style, women don’t wear their fur coats on a daily basis. There is certainly also a negative stigma in Canada associated with wearing fur, unlike Europe, but I know way too many women who own a fur coat but don’t wear it, simply because they too believe it’s meant only for special occasions. Fur jackets are much easier to make more casual, but what...

Heels Manolo Blahnik, jeans Joe Fresh, shirt Banana Republic, Sweater Zara, coat Forever 21, bag Chanel ( Luxe Touch Designer Consignment ) Hello my lovelies! I’m kicking off this week with a new post. I know I talked about this topic before, but it’s always a fun one for me to bring up. What am I talking about? Vintage and consignment shopping. There is something fun and exciting about going to these stores and never knowing what piece of treasure you will come across. One of those stores is Luxe Touch Designer Consignment in Cambridge. If you’re looking for a great designer find with a great price tag, make sure to visit them. And before you even think it, let me say this is not a paid post. I was just so impressed by their selection of luxury items, great prices and customer service that I had to share. I met Cyndee in the fall at the Toronto vintage show. I was impressed by the collection of Chanel bags she had displayed. We got to talking and I learned a lot about ...

Coat Zara, boots Forever 21, sweater-dress Winners, bag David Jones Paris, ring H&M One of the fun things about winter are statement coats. Downside is that it’s too cold to leave them open to showcase what’s underneath. I managed to fake it like I was not cold at all for 5  minutes to snap these few pictures and ran right back to the car to defrost, hehehe. Enjoy this old but still fun Zara coat and these new Forever 21 OTK boots. Ciao! Sasha <3

Boots Aldo, coat vintage, jeans Zara, turtleneck & blazer H&M, bag Chanel Couple of weeks now, I wanted to play a tourist in my city. Sometimes when you live in the city you don’t necessarily visit all of the heritage or historical buildings that you would as a tourist. For years I would walk by Osgoode Hall in Toronto, take pictures in front of it, but never actually go in. Well, on Boxing day I decided to do just that. I was so excited to finally explore this building. I checked online the hours of operation and everything looked good. I made my way to it only to find all of the doors locked. WTH! I kept checking the time to make sure I was not late, but I wasn’t. I found a bell and rang. I thought maybe this was the way to go in. You had to be let in ( I know it wouldn’t make much sense especially on busy days, but I was keeping my hopes alive). A voice answered and to my disappointment said the Osgoode Hall is closed. I had forgotten it was a holiday (Boxing Day) an...
