Inspiration...

While at {TorontoFashionWeek} the attendees as I mentioned had some of the best style I had seen.  While at a show I couldn't help but notice this blonde across the runway.  I was taken back by her double dot printed outfit at first.  I would never have thought to have paired a polka dot top with polka dot pants, this is why I love going to fashion events, the pure inspiration you can get for your own wardrobe!

Now I tried via {Twitter} to find out who she was so I could tell her I loved her outfit but that came up empty.  I was however able to source the pants as {HM} but the top I am not sure.

Let this show that we should be inspired by everyone around us!  And when in doubt, double up the dots! lol

Finds...

While at {Toronto Fashion Week} you cannot help but notice all the fashions OFF the runways.  Street Style Photographers were out in full force.  Here are a couple trends I noticed while I was there on Day 3.

Everything chiffon!  Many women paired chunk {Jeffery Campbell} boots with maxi chiffon skirts

This neon bag was EVERYWHERE. Very much the 'it' bag I noticed. Structure and colour were key!

The over the shoulder wearing of the blazer and jacket was most definitely a trend.  Since the weather can be anything this time of year, this is one trend I think we can all get behind.

I mean BLACK never goes out of style, and it was being showcased in ABUNDANCE.  What also was in abundance, liquid leggings!  Leather, faux-leather, a lot of ladies had them on.  Seems that this 2011 trend is not going anywhere fast, so if you didn't get them last year, get them for 2012.

COLOUR, COLOUR, COLOUR.  That was one thing that the day was not without.  Ladies pairing every colour under the sun together like this girl. 

 Don't be shy, pile on those brights ladies, you cannot go wrong!

WIW...

Wednesday I headed to Toronto for {Toronto Fashion Week} for an entire day of shows.  My love of fashion is so deep I was willing to sit anywhere and be amongst the fashion bubble.  My reviews of the shows and trends I saw will come on Monday/Tuesday but today I wanted to show you what I wore.  I tried to stay simple but added in the floral and neon trend for some pizazz.  My only complaint, this jacket was great for day but didn't translate well into 9pm; over site on styling on my part.

Enjoy your weekend and happy early ST. PATRICK'S DAY to all my Irish pals out there!

Spring Fling...

In the fall of 2008 I went to my first TORONTO FASHION WEEK.  My sister and I had a great experience and tomorrow I finally get to go again.  Now called, World Master Card Fashion Week, it is a HUGE event, and by the looks of all the Twitter pictures being published the event is easily 5x times the size of the year I went.

Tomorrow I will sit in my General Admission seat and watch 5x shows and enjoy every single second of it.  As a lover of all things fashion it is a perfect way to celebrate Spring (with the fall/winter clothes they will be showing).

Here are a couple pictures from 2008.  I wanted to show you these so when I post the 2012 shots you can see how it has grown!

 

And here is a snap shot of my new blazer that I cannot wait to wear tomorrow!

It is time for TORONTO FASHION WEEK review!  Sadly I could not make it there this  year so all these pictures are from the {Fashion Design Council of Canada} Facebook page; Please go 'LIKE' it and check out the pictures in their true best quality!!!  Pink Tartan was by far my favourite of all the shows; but I am bias to think that, since their clothes are very much my style.  But here are a few of my top favourite shows from the week!
