While most of the Torontonians are off enjoying their long weekend at a lakeside cottage, Terrance and I took joy in our summer favourite: picnic at Main Street Unionville. We packed along some fresh fruits, summer salads, honey greek yogurt and a bottle of Wild Vines for an afternoon under the beaming sun.
As much as I would love to get away from Toronto, the city has quite a few attractions that are worth exploring. While the cherry blossoms were in bloom two weekends ago, Terrance and I decided to pay our first visit to High Park. We spent most of our time admiring the beautiful blush pink petals on the Sakura trees, but we would love to come back again to tour the rest of the park.
Did you get the chance to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom?
Above is a lighthearted short film produced by a graduating Fashion Communication student about postmodern personal branding that I was delighted to be a part of. The underlying idea was to explore the purpose behind fashion blogging and how it can define an individual. Each of the fashion bloggers in this video had the opportunity to share their perspectives on what we hope to achieve with the creation of our blogs and the growing commercialization of blogging.

There’s arguably nothing more satisfying than macarons and a Sunday afternoon stroll. After our morning run, Terrance and I made a trip to Butter Avenue for (in my opinion) the city’s best macarons and a short walk along Yonge Street.
With more sunshine and flowers blooming, I thought that it would be the perfect time to abandon my wool coat and to instead pull out my spring trench and paisley print jeans. When it comes to purchases, I wholeheartedly believe that the only pieces that are worthy of a splurge are classic, can-be-worn-forever type of items. A trench coat definitely falls under that category because of its lasting appeal and staying power. I love that this Talula Babaton coat plays off of the classic Burberry look, but for only a portion of the price.
There's no better way to end off a sunlit Saturday than to stroll through a nearby park to take in the peaceful scenery and cool spring air.
It doesn't seem like my obsession with Tobi will be dying anytime soon. I ordered this lightweight trench that could be easily thrown over top and worn as innerwear as opposed to outerwear. The subtle drapery and sleeve detailing adds a touch of modernism to this otherwise conventional piece.
Between sky-high heels and ballet flats, I would have to say that I would prefer the latter to the former because of its classic beauty and comfort. It’s a style that has been recycled from the past and is undoubtedly here to stay. Recently, I’ve had my eyes on these delicate ballet flats from Pretty Ballerinas. Although I have yet to lay my hands on them, I can screen shop (online version of window shopping) in the meantime!
