summer lives at the state fair.

Ahh looking at these photos are making me miss the intense warmth of the sun that was felt at the LA State Fair a few months back. Meanwhile, it's 0º weather here in Vancouver and that type of intense layering outfit post is coming next. As for the one pictured, I knew the sparkliest of tops would go nicely with the Kesha & SPW gig I was going to see later plus I do love insisting on being impractical sometimes. The shorts were a new purchase from Brandy Melville and I must say it took great restraint on my part not to walk out of that store with 3+ pairs as they're so comfy and so affordable. My multi-terrain desert boots were a definite no brainer given the fact that I'd be walking through stables, race tracks, and cotton candy infested fair grounds.

Upon waiting for a friend to meet us at Max Brenner's, Stevy and I found ourselves having time to walk around the block and take some pictures with those fun Citi bikes New York now has to offer. Outfit of choice included a muscle tank from Brandy Melville with full Mean Girls effect included, pastel pink pyjama shorts, my mom's floral Gucci purse, and my stark white creepers. Ray Bans and vintage Madonna jacket again as circulars. And after a completely saccharine lunch due to a chocolate pizza, I went from rolling around a bicycle to swinging from a bellhop's cart at the hotel. Natural transition, I'd say.

Going way back to fashion month in New York when we took a trip to the Lincoln Centre on the last day of fashion week and decided to take the opportunity of its barren landscape to snap a few photos. Worn were the silkiest of Valentino's blouses along with a clutch by Chloé that fully embodies a floral pastel painting and colours of a Fabergé easter egg - all rolled into one. Both those over the top pieces paired with a 3rd, my building block Chanel Mary Jane's, begged for frayed denim shorts and classic wayfarers to loosen the outfit up. An undone blouse also helps.

Trotting around Nolita in my surprisingly comfortable negative heels in an effort to get to the French/Moroccan avocado toast heaven that is Café Gitane. I kid you not, I have recreated their eponymous dish multiple times since my visit there for a long brunch. More pictures on that later. Outfit of choice included a barely threaded together crop top that I bought at an outlet mall in LA, my repeat offender skirt that I've grown much too reliant on, and this old, dug up All Saints purse bought from my days in England. With several uses of it, I'm reminded of why I put it back in its dust bag in the first place with its cumbersome fringe that's the length of my hair, which basically forces me to wear it crossbody so the strands don't get entangled in my strut. Although crossbody wear does ward off snatch and run burglers. Silver lining.

catch you on the flipside.

Flipping back and forth between Bryant Park and the beautiful NY public library on a particularly humid day in the Big Apple. I love New York for its perfect cityscape backgrounds at any angle and although my heart still lies in LA, I must say that this particular East Coast city is sneaking its way into 2nd place. Now, about the outfit... Well I bought this macramé fisherman's net/dress from my last trip to HK as a means of wearing something that would allow me to escape the extreme humidity there. Turns out it came in handy in New York for a few days of sweltering similarity. I laid the dress over a simple black bra & biker shorts to keep things slim and still show some skin. The espadrilles were a no brainer as I've been wearing them to the point of slipper status as they're THAT dreamily comfortable. My vintage jacket from Berlin in case of cold shoulders, my studded Valentino to keep in theme with the studs on the jacket, and a gold choker to round things off!

Hope all my Canadian friends are having a wonderful Thanksgiving!
