Extended my birthday celebrations with a weekend trip to one of my favorite places, Toronto. I haven't been in years but everytime I visit it's magical, and this particular time took on its own spark. Decided to keep things casual with an edgy street wear vibe, while exploring the city. It was something quite amusing about quickly jumping on the subway and streetcar- at moments getting lost though there was always a friendly Canadian to help (the stereotypes are true). There was no better moment than my visit to Kensington Market just outside of downtown. So wildly colorful and eccentric, it's filled with various vintage and thrift shops containing some of the most amazing vintage pieces i've ever seen (to which I feverishly indulged in). Kensington Market felt like a Cultural Utopia- exuberant in its range of ethnic restaurants and shops, quaint bars and coffee houses providing perfect moments of bliss and relaxation, while a myriad of drums and instruments pulsated throughout the area. Thanks to my visit with a friend, I couldn't help but become enveloped in the magic of this place, feeling quite nostalgic and wild. Toronto was the perfect end to an amazing birthday and just the beginning of moments to marvel at.

I've officially entered my adulthood by turning 21 this past weekend. It's amazing how quickly your younger years are just fleeting moments that quickly become past memories. I decided to celebrate this momentous occasion in style with two vampy looks, much thanks to Nasty Gal. My sequin backless dress was the perfect introduction to 21, because nothing says "Hello Adulthood!" like a thigh high split and sultry red lips, to which I wore to dinner that evening. Decided to pair my dress with gold strap pumps from Guess, which were incredibly sexy and surprisingly comfortable. After my amazing dinner at a fabulous steakhouse, I spent the next day in a pair of dark denim jeans from Urban Outfitters, and black lace body suit as well as my crop leather biker jacket also from Nasty Gal, for drinks and sushi. My green Michael Kors bag added the perfect pop of color to my already edgy look. I've never been a fan of my birthday but this particular year feels like it's going to be magical, filled with spontaneity and adventure, and who knows? Maybe even a little romance! However one thing is for certain- no matter what happens, it'll always be done in style. 

My Music

Thought I'd share some more of music, titled "Forbidden Fruit." More than my style or anything else in the world, music is my greatest passion. It acts as an outlet to curtail my pain as well as heighten my joys. It's the source of my most vulnerable moments, illuminating my personal (or not so personal) experiences through melodies, various notes and lyrical expression.
