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!

Mortician Lace - Fall Lookbook


Let's talk about two of my favourite trends for the new season: all over lace tops get an overhaul in delicate detailed beauties and metallics continue to be the new neutral.

I have for far too long kept my blacks at the back of my closet. With skin as fair as mine it's pretty easy to get washed out, but this lace turtleneck find in black has me digging through my wardrobe. I love this night-on-the-town look because it's edgy, but still fairly casual. The distressed denim makes the otherwise avant-guarde outfit more approachable, and the glimpses of metallic compliment the black without drawing too much attention.
