It’s been a busy couple of weeks so when it came time for World Mastercard Fashion Week in Toronto, I was only able to make it out for a few shows. My favourite of the week was Rachel Sin’s beautiful ready-to-wear line. Rachel’s line is perfect for the busy urban woman; whether you’re heading to a meeting or a date…

Why I didn’t Come Forward
It’s not easy to talk about abuse. People look at you funny. To your face they say, “Oh, poor dear.” and “I’m so sorry.” Which feels like a platitude or the words of someone who simply doesn’t understand.

4Chan Fakes it
Earlier this week the internet at large was introduced to the site EmmaYourNext.com.

While Toronto…
Fuck Cancer
Fuck cancer. The life robbing, hellish disease has had a long enough run and I for one am done with it. I want to go an entire year without hearing that someone I love is fighting for their life against this brutal illness. I want to see my friends and family who are currently suffering go into remission and live…
It’s Been so Long…
I feel like it’s been forever since I blogged, guys! In reality it’s been two months which is basically forever in the world of blogging. It’s not that I don’t like writing or that I haven’t wanted to keep up with the lovely people who take the time to read my blog it’s that I’ve been incredibly busy. Not regular…
