Grimes x Hedi Slimane Diary

Just saw Grimes play in Montreal last night. I've been to about a billion concerts. But I'm almost certain that this was the absolute best. I'm pretty inspired by all things Grimes right now. Check out some articles my friend and I have been writing covering Pop! Montreal, an amazing whirwind concert festival happening right now in the city: http://canadianmusician.com/blog/

Further to my past posts about my love for all things 90s, baseball caps are back in action in all forms. This practical accessory instantly brings a little edge to a feminine outfit, a la Dree Hemingway and also lets you get away with those not so great hair days. Keep bringing on the baseball caps and backpacks so I can feel like I'm in grade 5 again (this is a good thing!). 

Listen! Mikhael Paskalev

 

Mikhael Paskalev is a Norwegian singer/songwriter who is based in Liverpool. His music reminds me of The Tallest Man on Earth with a bit more of a light-hearted vibe. When I first started blogging, I would for the most part only post about folk artists in the music section, even though I've always listened to a great mish-mash of genres. Now I've started showing more of that mix on the blog, but whenever I find a great folk singer or group I get super excited because that was the genre that really started my obsession with music, and I've always felt that folk music has been a little under-represented. So here's my newest favourite (also these videos are cute, and I can't help but laugh when i watch them because something about him channels Jack Black, no?):

Oceanside

Here in Montreal we don't have a beach to retreat to in the summer heat...here's to dreaming! I just got back from New York, but I think it's time to visit California.

Resort 2013

 Here's my recap of my favourite Resort '13 looks so far:

I guess you can tell that I loved Alexander Wang's collection. 

 Band of Outsiders:

Carven:

Dion Lee:

I loved the simplicity and ease at Theyskens' Theory, exactly what I'm 

looking for these days. Also the '90s styling made me love it even more.

The Row:

 I loved the '70s vibe at Gucci. A few commonalities I've been noticing

among designers for Resort are florals, leopard print, safari and '70s influences.

Proenza Schouler

Rag & Bone

 Stella McCartney:
