Never have I ever been more obliterated by a fashion show. Reem Acra's 2015 Fall/Winter collection stole my breath with such ferocity, I was left reeling for air. I think I may have even found myself drooling at one point. The Victorian-esque vibe of the show is seriously right up my alley right now, what with my new found love of classical, orchestral, and baroque music, and the life that comes along with it. I'm hoping to go to my first ever ballet for my Birthday this year. The "Sleeping Beauty", at the National Ballet of Canada, and I can't help but imagine myself parading inside wearing one of these regal and ethereal gowns.
Zimmermann takes the hard and soft concept to a new level, by mixing floral soft patterns with hardware and sharp lines. I love it! You can view the full collection here!
Carmen Marc Valvo's Fall Winter Collection is very intimidating in a good way. Reminds me of Gladiators and greek things.
Cara Delevingne is one of my top girl crushes, and the feelings aren't going to subside any time soon, if she keeps churning out these photos. But that's besides the point. The clothing and accessories in this shoot by Jaques Dequeker, are a hybrid of punk and hip hop street glamour, that are so scrumptious, I just want to jump and roll around in them. Or you know, wear them.
Not to mention the styling, makeup and hair. Seriously on point. I love the whole ensemble of this spread!
So, another lazy day shuffles on by here in Australia, where I remain jobless, and friendless. The moment I see my kitties for the very first time in 7 months could NOT come any sooner. I am flying home, to the blistering icy world of Toronto in 4 short days, and the feelings are mixed. Of course, I will miss my sister (and her husband Ryan). I have re-bonded with her furball, Haplo; Who is an orange ball of life and quirks that I love so very dearly. The thought of losing him all over again is really disheartening. I've also come to really enjoy the company of my Sister's dog, Perta. She's a stubborn, but goofy fun loving Malamute, and I'm going to miss her constant chirps and howls to get us to play with her, and give her endless attention. Such a funny dog. As I write this, she is laying quite dead-like right beside me. ♥ Love her!
BUT, then I think about my Kitties, Ripley and Kalani, and I am filled with excitement. They are my babies, my best friends, and I hated leaving them. I felt like I abandoned them those short 7 months ago, and now I am finally going to return to them. I only hope they will forgive me. I miss my home and my city. The lights, the snow, the people, the fashion, the buzz. I miss it all so much. A part of me will cherish Australia and all it has given me, but I know where my heart lies. Toronto. I don't think any place will feel quite as familiar and comforting to me.
However, there are still 4 days until I leave, and I'm going to enjoy being in Australia, while I can. Because really, who WOULDN'T want to be in Australia?
Until next time!
