Farewell

So after a few months of trying my hand at blogging, I have decided to give it a rest.
The purpose of my blog was to further my experience in the fashion industry and it actually worked, although not the way that I had originally anticipated. I had all these daydreams of being a fab blogger who gets street photoged and featured in cool indie mags, etc. but I don't think I will end up being that girl... blogging has solidified to me that my real dream is to be the Creative Director at an already established womenswear label. It doesn't have to be of the proportions of Chanel or Louis Vuitton, though. Working at a Canadian label like Aritzia or Bedo would be fab as well. Obviously working at Etro is the ultimate for me, but for now I'm going to focus on school, drawing, style.com and what I'm gonna wear to Toronto Fashion Week ;)

<3 ya!
Aynne

p.s. I don't think Vallene is up for the blogging life either, but I will let her make her official adieu on her own

one of my favs

ever since i started looking at vogue magazine, i have been enamored with the fashion house etro because of the clothing's eclectic patterns, prints and textures as well as the apparent love affair the house has with the 1970's. if i could work at etro as a designer, i would in a heartbeat! here are some of my fav looks from the fall 2011 collection.

galliano!

in light of john galliano's banishment from dior, i figured we should take a look at some favs from his spring 2011 show. he shows the dior collection for fall on march 6th.

the collection has a very south pacific (the movie) feel to it, which i love, with a jolt of colour and sauce. <3
