scotch & soda

I was in Vancouver a few months ago and was out shopping some sample sales with my aunt when we came across a brand neither of us had ever heard of. I immediately fell in love with the fall collection, which was full of blazers, silk tops, cozy knits, structured jackets and baggy t-shirts perfect for layering. The pieces were classic yet casual with a slightly vintage feel, perfect for running around town on a crisp fall day. The label was Maison Scotch which, we discovered, is a fashion brand from Amsterdam. The brands main line, Scotch & Soda, is sold all over the world. So how am I only hearing about this now, and why can I only get it at an obscure sample sale in Vancouver? I was depressed, until just recently, I read that Scotch & Soda would be opening a store in Toronto! The store is scheduled to open at the end of August, perfectly coinciding with my move to the big city. As if I needed another reason to shop.

I was visiting a friend in Toronto the other day and had my sister take a few pics of what I wore. We went and got dinner in her neighbourhood (little italy) which is full of cute italian restaurants and cool patios to eat pizza and sip sangria on. As you can see, I burnt my scalp sitting on said patio and yes, I know, I reeeeally need to get my hair done. I have an appointment next week ok? Leave me alone.


This pizza is supposed to feed one person but it was so big, I ended up taking home more than half of it.

What are everyone's plans for this weekend?!

I've fallen in love with Australian shoemaker Senso. I am currently trying to choose between these 3 boots, all of which would be perfect for fall. So far, I'm leaning towards all three.

Somebody stop me!

Back in Black (and grey!)

It's about time. I've been MIA for the better part of this summer and have sadly neglected the blog for almost 2 months!! I feel like I've been so busy with work, summer courses and of course, a little vacay, that I haven't even had time to think about updating. But the time has come to make a change and I thought why not start with an outfit post. I enlisted the help of my amazing sister to snap some pics of me near our house. I also haven't had a lot of time to shop this summer and am not feeling anything that I have in my closet so you're just gonna have to work with me here.
