Every time, just before I post my photos onto my blog, I realize how much I miss doing photography and challenging myself in terms of creativity.
With Pinch of Chic being my personal platform, I was in front of the camera more times than being behind it and forgot what it's like to have a vision. I intended to showcase more design-oriented and editorial posts since this blog was created.
Usually I'm known for pulling very preppy and lady-like looks. Which might be very true-- But I found myself being drawn to more eccentric and avant-garde pieces lately. Most likely because I've been inspired by so many androgynous ensembles. Friday's look was one of those days where I decided to implement something new... Because casual Fridays are for experimenting and getting away with it, right?
This was probably the last day that felt like summer before the cool Autumn winds blew in.
In other news, I shall present to you tricks and tips and mostly links to spruce up your wardrobe at a cost effective amount. For this #OOTD, I wore it to work and out afterwards (I'm lucky to have a flexible dress code at work-- creative departments ftw!). It's great for the beaches, light to travel with, you can definitely dress it up or make it a casual outfit for afternoon crepes and coffee in Kensington. I haven't owned such an intricate piece until I grabbed this dress from Free People. For most of you that know, Free People is very expensive. I managed to grabbed this dress 1/5th of the cost (The regular price was about $200 or more...not including shipping, duties and taxes...ouch).
"But you can get this look for EVEN LESS with FREE SHIPPING. "
Finally! It's the weekend! I thought it would be cool to share three great things on my list that I'd like to get through the this weekend:
1.) Get a bike for myself to transport myself around Toronto,
as well as exercise and ride around High Park!!
2.) Go to Bang Bang Ice Cream and Bakery and get that crazy waffle cone ice cream in the Ossington Strip. Maybe sneak a macaron ice cream sandwiches or two...to share of course.
3.) Go to..
Hope everyone had a great long weekend! I started out with no plans for the weekend...to attending one of Toronto's biggest electronic music festival, VELD, family gatherings and Electric Island on Centre Island. I'd like to also thank my buddy Jamie Phongphilack, for everything! From capturing the highlights to making my weekend productive and great.
