Captured On Camera: Tomato Cucumber Salad Recipe

Published by

Have you tried the new(ish) app from Instagram? Hyperlapse takes videos recorded in real time and drastically (and dramatically) speeds them up. It’s supposed to give a cinematic quality to your videos. I tried the app out a few times already, but now that I should be focusing on what I eat and how I exercise (soccer season is right around the corner), I figured it would be a good way to record the recipes I use and create, and to showcase how I make them. I figured I would start off with one of my absolute favourite salad recipes – a tomato and cucumber salad with onion and feta. I love making this salad! Super easy and super simple (only five ingredients needed). Watch to see how I made this salad recipe: Tomato Cucumber Salad with Feta 2 tomatoes 1 cucumber 1/2 of a small onion 1 tablespoon of olive oil 3/4 cup of Feta Slice and dice the cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. Mix all three into a dish and add the tablespoon of …

Hello Sunshine!

Fall has to be my favourite fashion season. Chunky cable knit sweaters, boots, jackets, luxurious materials, scarves and gloves! I love it all! Since the Fall season is right around the corner, I’m looking for pieces to update my current wardrobe and I’m obsessed with this shade of yellow (some might call it marigold?)! H&M Cable Knit Sweater | Converse High Tops | Charlotte Olympia Shoes | MARC BY MARC JACOBS Crossbody | Victoria Beckham Tote | Honey Comb Bracelet | Tory Burch Earrings | Infinity Scarf | Maison Takuya iPhone Case | Marc Jacobs Orange Sunglasses    For me it’s definitely the colour of the moment. It’s bright, cheery, and fun. It also could be the fact that we experienced a lack of summer here in Toronto. Or it could just be that I’m attracted to bright & happy colours. In any case this shade of yellow has me wanting to shop, shop, and shop some more!   Like I said before, it’s a colour that I definitely want to incorporate into my wardrobe this season! Hopefully I can find it in a sweater or a great jacket, or even a …

Announced: Alexander Wang x H&M

Published by

Last night as the clock struck 12:00 a.m., Alexander Wang released some very exciting news when he published his first-ever Instagram post. Wang will be the latest in a string of designers to collaborate with retailer H&M on an exclusive line. View the video here. It looks like the collection is set to launch on November 6th, 2014. Which seems about right. Most of the previous designer-collaborations from past years also launched around the same time. I have to say, I really love Alexander Wang’s aesthetic. Most, if not all of his designs are clean, to the point, and all about the little details which I can definitely appreciate. With this collaboration I’m hoping that the focus is on three things: shoes, outerwear, and of course – bags. Here are a few products that Wang already has on the market which I hope serve as inspiration for the collection (illustrations based on merchandise/product already being sold by the designer).   Textured-leather Biker Vest – Alexander Wang Alla Open Toe Wedge – Alexander Wang Prisma Tote – Alexander Wang  Large Chastity …

World MasterCard Fashion Week – Fall 2014 Shows

Published by

I’ve been attending World MasterCard Fashion Week for over four years now (yes, that’s me in the illustration) and have been covering it for my blog for just about the same amount of time. However, I feel that every season I am not nearly as prepared as I could be. Whether it’s needing an extra charger for my phone or remembering to pack some gum or mints (you’ll be talking to a lot of people), or even trying to remember to bring along a notebook, I always feel that there is something that I am missing! But this season I am determined! So, I have put together a little preview of my fashion week essentials. Now, there is a reason that I featured each of the following items. I always say that I carry “my life” in my bag – well now you know exactly what I mean. 1. A watch A girl can’t always rely on her smartphone to tell the time! It’s always a great little accessory to have with you and there …

Fashion Sketch – #NYFW

Published by

I love seeing the street style looks that appear at any fashion week. NYFW began last week which means we have a month or so until Toronto Fashion Week. Speaking of Toronto – it’s still cold here. Can’t wait for spring! Until then, here are some sketches of fashion show attendees battling the cold in an ever-so-chic way. Photo Credits: via Instagram
