An optimist is the human personification of spring

"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are,"
She said, "cause he made you perfect babe"

Spring is finally here, except here in Canada we certainly can't tell.
There is still snow on the ground and I still have to wear my winter jacket, leather gloves and a hat every time I leave my house.
I haven't had my camera out in quite a while.  I am going to purchase a new lens and I have lots of new items and outfits to shoot for you guys.  I have been a very bad fashion blogger because I have had zero spare time to take pictures for posts.
 Here in Toronto it is fashion week so I hope to get a feature on that posted as well.
School is finished in three weeks and I am starting a new job!  Stay tuned for details.
This is just a quick post to say I'm back from my long winter hibernation and mountains of classwork on top of the full-time delivery of beer and chicken wings.
My wardrobe is starting to contain a lot more colours!  I am loving bright shades this season.
This is just a short inspiration post from the spring collections of a few designers. I've done a lot of shopping at these places lately.
Thanks for reading and sorry for being so lacking in the blogging department lately!

I love the graffiti backdrop and bright colours as well as simple structure and detailing in these photos.  The styling is funky and glamourous.  Very inspirational for spring!

Runway & changes in my life

Changes in my life
I won't leave you behind
Changes in my life
You will see in time
Changes in my life
You're always on my mind
Changes in my life
I've got you by my side

There're so many changes in my life
I don't know if it's wrong or if it's right
And i want you, want you be my side
Everything is gonna be alright
- CHRIS LAKE -- CHANGES
On top of normal technical difficulties I encounter daily with my computer and camera (which are both top notch, Macbook Pro and Cannon Rebel) I have misplaced the cord that connects the two.  I am convinced there is some sort of technology gnome that comes and messes everything around on me.

NOW FOR SOME SOME BETTER NEWS...

I have a few options for a new job.  I could work at a bar as a bartender, which I enjoy a lot and the money is great.  I also have a few opportunities for becoming a stylist in a retail environment for less money.  I don't know what to do!  Any advice?

Since it will be a few days before I can take outfit pictures (I have LOTS in store for you), I am presenting you darlings with my favourite looks from  
FASHION WEEK in Milan.
Italy is always my favourite!  There are some great looks from New York and London that I will post this week as well.  Paris is coming up and Toronto's fashion week is quite a joke but Dsquared2's line just came out in Milan so I had to showcase a little Canadian pride as well as some of my other favourite looks.  I can't wait for spring!  The leaves are a million colours around here so I hope to get some great photos soon.  Thanks for reading and stay tuned!

TRENDS FOR SPRING 2011
