living in black & white

I have always believed that more is certainly more.

More sequins, bows, ruffles, gold, whatever you like, to your taste, because honestly, it's you who's got to walk out the front door everyday.

I know that I usually walk outside and look pretty nuts in my bizarre ensembles, but I guess that's what makes us all individuals.

I picked up this skirt over the holidays at Sense of Independence in Toronto, very cute shop run by a pair of very savvy sisters. I enjoy the thick felt skirt with the front peplum-style ruffle avec a peak of satin. Tres cute.

Also, who doesn't love gingham? At 69 Vintage I got this blk/wht number with the bows which cover the buttons, it's totally a Man Repeller but whatever, it's for you ladies, anyway.

Also been playing around with some red lips again, and silly filters. Merci MacBook Pro, how I waste time the time with you.

Today I got to soak in my Montreal's artsy Mile End creative types, checking out the fabulous creations at the March edition of Puces Pop by Pop Montreal, the 6th art fair. A few wonderful finds; Julia at La Raffinerie had some lovely pieces from vintage pins, these amazing necklaces wrapped in silk ribbon adorned with vintage rings and other trinkets.

These fantastic monster pillows at Velvet Moustache, to spruce up your dull sofa or as a baby shower gift. The girls and I loved Mr. Hou Hou.

Finally, enjoyed Carococo's beautiful prints on cotton handmade paper and in homemade frames, Chasse & Pêche is my favourite.

Some beautiful ceramics, confitures and homemade couture were on display, lots to see and take in.

I always enjoy les puces and look forward to the vintage sale in April! Yay.

This week has been pretty hectic but I think I'm going to relax, regroup for the week ahead and watch The Craft.

I think we all at one point either wanted to be this one:

But, some of us, including yours truely, always wanted to be the bad ass bitch witch:

Ugh, Skeet Ulrich just got blown out the window. So good.

Living in a city like Montreal means that sometimes, the weather is unpredictable. One day you're tightless, wearing you favorite ra-ra skirt and loose blouse, feeling the wind in your massive hair, the next...

...

...it's flipping 'snow showering'.

At least in the UK it's predictably raining for most of the time. I know I'll need to bring my umbrella, literally every day.

BIAS takes the stage

Not that Bitch in a Suit needs an introduction or an explanation but I thought I would fill those of you in on the going's on with the orbital events this figure participates in. Although I wish I was more of an avid blogger (perhaps that will change...stay tuned) the music of Bitch in a Suit is really the jumping off point for this luscious diva.

Now, I don't mean to brag but seriously this event SURLESCHANTIERS ( http://www.facebook.com/surleschantiers) finally took it's climax (sorry Patti Clit & The Vulvotronics...real name, don't ask) once Bitch in a Suit took the stage.

Set in an old bathhouse (definitely the BIAS style) all the acts were from each corner of their discipline from a high maintenance band (L'Ours), fabulous acrobatics and circus freaks to pop art, the amazing Pachyderm Experience and of course, us.

Now, enough chatter, I hope you'll enjoy some photos from the gig below.

You'll note the three outfits:

1. Sequined jacket (vintage 69), 1 oversized gold earring (topshop), gold chain (gift

), black top (Fb), black tulled skirt with crinoline netting & gold chain (river island), black thigh high boots (random store on Mont Royal), oversized shades (Portobello Market)

2. Chanel-style jacket with leopard trim (Dawson College, costume dept) with handcrafted single (over) embellished shoulderpad (amazeballs), gold aviators (ray ban)

3. Fur stole (inheritance from gr.grandmother, monogrammed)

It's been a whale of a time.
