BLOGGER COME BACK
These were a birthday gift from myself, to myself. I bought them on yoox.com, which is a fantastic resource for high-end items from past seasons. People are always surprised when I tell them that they are Balenciaga.
L to R: H&M, Topshop Unique, ba&sh, Vintage, Zara, H&M
I remember the day I bought these from Specchio really well - it was scorching hot out. They're a bit of a departure for me, but my boyfriend at the time (who was shopping with me), convinced me to get them. I wore them a lot that summer!
I never, EVER wear these; they are delicate ponyhair, the pitch of the shoe is very steep, and they don't work with the majority of my wardrobe. I'll never get rid of them though, they're like a collector's item to me. I bought them on sale at Barney's.

I'll never get rid of them though, they're like a collector's item to me. I bought them on sale at Barney'sI bought this jacket from a consignment store, but it still had the original tags on it. Whenever I wear it, I feel like a character from Where the Wild Things Are.
For the record, I do not endorse the wearing of jumpsuits, 99% of the time. In almost all instances, they make grown women look like little girls. I thought this particular one however, was a clever take on the tuxedo, and I bought it as an alternative to wearing an evening dress to a formal event.
My wardrobe is a mix of high and low; I try to invest in versatile essentials from high-end labels, and then buy trendier things from fast-fashion stores.
I bought these at Spectacle in a slight panic because I was heading to Centre Island for the day and had recently lost my previous pair. In the shot, they're sitting on top of some of my Father's travel photos. He is a very talented photographer but these photos are extra special because of the rounded edges and finely-textured paper that they are printed on. I keep meaning to have them scanned and blown up to put on my wall.
This top is incredibly special to me. It's by Christopher Kane, who is one of my absolute favourite designers, and the illustration was done by a very gifted friend of mine, Meghan Roche. Whenever someone compliments me on the shirt, I brag shamelessly that I know the talented artist who drew it.
This was one of the first high-end designer pieces I ever purchased. It is from SS07. The illustration is by Richard Prince.
I bought this dress at Holt Renfrew. I think I've only ever worn it to work, it's a tricky piece to wear.
