i heart mum

#HappyMother'sDay2014

A Shout-Out to all those mums out there who
take it all on, in style and with love.











A classic denim shirt from Mother Denim
seems the perfect uniform for the 24/7 job.
Says: glam but not afraid to roll up her sleeves
to get any task done.

daisy face

Will surely be in touch via skype
but all set to let my mom know just how much I think of her
not just tomorrow on mother's day, but every. day.

lagom design recreates Alexander Girard's Daisy Face print
as beautiful cards, proving just how everything actually
does start with mum – with her starts life.

Christian Dior Resort 2015

The resort collections have hit the runways
and loved the way that Raf Simons played with the
notions of the original Dior Carrés, bold graphic scarf
elements contrasting to black.
 










Love the combination of red and pink.
Bold, graphics in flowing, fluid silk.

all hail the donut, eh

Nothing like being back in Toronto, home of the donut.
With what seems to be almost a donut store at every corner
I do enjoy my morning glazed sour cream.











Raised Maple, Raised Chocolate, Hawaiian
Glazed Sour cream, Sour cream, Cruellers, Timbits...
seems to be a flavour for every day of the week.
Tororonto loves its donuts!

met gala 2014

Of all the fashionistas at this year's Met Gala
I was surprised to be taken by funny girl, Sarah Silvermann,
as a stand-out winner.











She was, i dare say, simply stunning
in voluminous Zac Posen. Had to draw it.

flower

Am in Toronto this week, and boy, this town sure could use
a little bit of flowering Spring. Thought this urban lacy number
from London's Christopher Kane would be the perfect thing
to help remind Mother Nature what season we're in over here...











Not only do I love the contrast of inset lace to fleece sweatshirt but
I'm a born sucker for graphic type on anything.

homage to the square

After years of painting Albers-inspired guoache studies in art school
naturally this rug caught my eye. Produced by UK-based Christopher Farr Editions, this limited edition
is produced in conjunction with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.











This hand-tufted wool carpet, derived from the 1951 Albers (oil on masonite)
painting makes this a mid-century modernist must-have!
