Happy Birthday, Coco Chanel. Your innovative thinking help changed the fashion word for the better. It did away with corsets and pageantry and brought in clothing that allowed women to take an active part in the world they live.
I love these Inside Chanel Series that Channel produced a few years ago. The one below is one of my faves, you can see the rest of the series HERE.
I can't get enough of the Stranger Things opening sequence. It fills me full of 1980's nostalgia. I love this video on how Stranger Things got it's retro opening credits. It must have been a fun project to work on.
Just some branding I've done over the past few years.
Preach it Cyndi, life is to short to care about the haters.
Just a few pictures I took this weekend @ Union Station as I was on the way to visit family in the burbs. I really do feel lucky to live in such an amazing city. Love ya Toronto, I can't wait to continue to watch you grow ❤️.
Mother's Day sort of snuck up on me this year and I really didn't get around to doing a design project to celebrate my mom this year.
This Mother's Day seems a little easier than last years but I still miss and think of my mom every day. I thought I'd celebrate my mom today by posting a picture of her and her mom, who she lost when she was a few years younger than me.
As much as today is an important day it's always good to remember that today is a hard and complicated day for lots of people for many, many different reasons.
On that note, I still want to wish all the Mom's out there (including fur baby Mom's!), A Happy Mother's Day.

Since discovering 1920's Parisian artist and textile designer Sonia Delauany a few years ago, I've been obsessed with learning about all things Sonia. Today I discovered these video gems (featured below) from the 1920's featuring her clothing and fabrics. If you too are interested in learning more about her I personally suggest the book Colour Moves: Art & Fashion by Sonia Delaunay by Susan Brown.
Now this is a commute I can get behind. Sweden you are amazing.
Toronto you're beautiful.
This year my style muse is without a doubt, my mom! I hope everyone has a fabulous 2016. xoxo

The best way to celebrate the amazing Kathleen Hanna’s Birthday today is to watch The Punk Singer and share her story/the documentary with every little girl (and well the boys too of course) in your life.
Today and every day I remember those who have fought for our freedom. Those who came home, those who lost their lives and those who are still fighting.
A big congrats to Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart & the Vaute team, for helping taking animals out of the fashion equation. Innovation is the key to the making the future of fashion; cruelty-free, ethical and sustainable.
