In Collaboration with The Noteworthys Part II - A Night on the Town





I've met so many admirable people this year, among the lot is Nundini Krishan founder of the up-and-coming "The Noteworthys". The Noteworthys is a Toronto-based network which connects clientele to designers.



I'm particularly excited about their project and you can stay in the loop by signing up early here.

I was asked to take part in their very first photoshoot where I got to bring a little of my own personal brand to the scene. In this, part II of my collaboration, I wanted to showcase a feminine look perfect for an evening of cocktails.



This look challenges a conservative color-palette by using surprising textures. The black turtle neck which I found tucked away in the heart of Chinatown has a modest cut, but it's the intricate lace detailing that surprises and delights with hints of skin. It definitely isn't meant for the faint-of-heart and could be easily paired with either a nude or black cami for a more subtle look. The skirt I've chosen to pair this lace number with is from H&M and is made of sweater-material. It's a short fluted skirt which gives the outfit a hint of volume without going overboard.

I didn't want to draw away from the neckline of the shirt, or the detailed lace and so complimented this look with a sleek jeweled headpiece with matching earrings. The sunglasses found in Kensington Market at Bungalow create a little bit of edge to an otherwise feminine look with the dramatic frames. The shoes (unseen) were my favourite silver stilettos from Aldo and I finished this outfit with a mixed metallic clutch and a dark shade of red lipstick bringing in just a suggestion of color.  (You can see them here in my look from World MasterCard Fashion Week).

Would you wear this outfit? Stay tuned for Part III coming up shortly!

Fall in love with Autumn


Fall has been busy for me. Work has been intense with Christmas around the corner, and I want to spend every minute of this beautiful season with friends and family. See the season through my lens.


Exploring my alma mater, The University of Toronto, and the changing leaves.



Van Gogh's sunflowers are in my mother's house and pumpkins all in a row.


My boyfriend, Ajay is Indian and together with our friends celebrated the beautiful Hindu festival of Diwali. As you might be able to tell from the last photo it was absolute carnage and I'm still full.

Collaboration with The Noteworthys Part I



I've said it once and I'll say it before: NOW is the time to live in Toronto. Just this past year I have met so many interesting people, and made life-altering connections. Some weeks ago I had the opportunity to work with the up-and-coming "The Noteworthys", a Toronto-based network which connects clientele to designers.



I'm particularly excited about their project and you can stay in the loop by signing up early here.

I was asked to take part in their very first photoshoot where I got to bring a little of my own personal brand to the scene.



I like to have fun with my fashion and this 90s throwback croptop and overalls combination is just that. The sneakers make it a little more current as the white lowtops which were all the rage this Summer have carried into Fall nicely. The oversized nature of the overalls make a big (ha) statement about shape and silhouette: the loose fit creates an androgynous look, but the form-fitting crop top brings in an element of girliness.





My friend Krys, pictured above with me, introduced me to founder Nundini of The Noteworthys. This collection of photos is just the first in a series of three. Collaborating with her and her team was such a wonderful experience. It's great to be a part of a Torontonian movement to make fashion more accessible. This city really is in the midst of a creative surge and I couldn't be more excited to live it first hand.

Stripes on Stripes


My friend Sarah is so wonderfully adventurous with her fashion sense. This striped combination is so effortlessly chic I just had to put it up on the blog.


Here's a detail shot of her the very delicate jewelry she chose to complete this look. I think the simple silver jewelry really compliments the outfit. I see so many looks featuring big statement pieces, and while gorgeous and often well done I think understated jewelry is, well, underrated.
