Beam Me Up

Good morning! This photo got a ton of hype from my circle of friends, so I thought you’d enjoy it too. I was recently at the Montreal Lights Festival with my good friend Yannick and he snapped this one of me, amongst some other cool shots. The colors here are amazing!

If you’re in town and have attended the Montreal Lights Festival with your camera, I’d love to see some of your own photos.

WordPress is being a bitch as usual so you can view the full version here.

Also, the Hip and Bone Snapback Contest is now over and we will be announcing the winner shortly. Stay tuned for that.

What she’s wearing

Jacket: Zara
lace top: Editorial Boutique
purple tank: Aritzia
black tulip skirt: T by Alexander Wang
black tights: oro blu
chrome watch: Michael Kors
tuque: I lent that to her because her hair was misbehaving

On Friday, I met up with a fellow Montreal fashion blogger by the name of Sarah Monaco (I know, doesn’t that sound like the name of a celebrity?). We had lunch at the lovely Castel Café on Sherbrooke street, and discussed ideas for future collaborations. We also got to talking about the ups and downs of being a local blogger. It’s always fun to meet someone with whom I can relate on such topics, as my engineering friends are far from willing to talk about fashion for hours at a time! : )

Sarah and I had apparently crossed paths a few times at MFW24, but she tells me that she didn’t know how to approach the Snob Affair crew without “making things awkward.” Funny enough, I recognized her when we met up at the café, as I had frequently seen her roaming the halls in school. “Oh, who’s that chic girl?” I would ask myself sometimes. “It must be a first or second year engineering student, my guess is chemical or civil.”

I was wrong on all counts, except for the fashionista part. Sarah is a Psychology major, with a double minor in Molecular Biology and Italian Studies. She’s also taken a ton of economics courses. Broad interests, much?

I brought my camera with me to our meeting and was prepared to turn some heads on campus with street style photography. Sarah is very photogenic, so it was tough choosing my favourite shots to edit! I hope you like the result. It’s spring break for us McGillians, so we’re planning a shoot in the near future. I’m very excited for that!

T by Alexander Wang

Each and every piece in this ready to wear collection entitled T by Alexander Wang is to-die-for. I have never once been disappointed with an item of his, and this is owed to the commonly-found structured silhouettes and bold styling in his collections. Need I mention that nobody does black better than Alexander Wang? Enjoy my commentary along with the photos of this fall 2013 collection.

Black and blue dominate this collection. Many designers attempt this scheme, as blue is the one color many are not afraid to wear. What I admire about Alexander Wang is that he is able to create ready-to-wear so as to make a not-so-daring lady look like she takes risks in fashion. There is in fact no risk in wearing something that easily flatters!

Layer onto layer onto layer, the above look is three stages of beauty. I absolutely love the flat lace booties – it just adds that sporty feel to an otherwise generic-looking patent ankle boot. Details, details…

When i say that I love structured silhouettes, I mean I LOVE structured silhouettes. The stiffness of leather is used to Alexander’s advantage in this one. Lines and curves turn this coat-skirt ensemble into a winner. It is reminiscent of the leather bags in the store that catch my eye – the kind that assert one’s presence! Minimal can be so in-your-face sometimes.
