Music You Should Be Listening To: MS MR – Fantasy

MS MR are my absolute new favourite band. Based out of Brooklyn, they blend an electronic sound with smooth, soulful vocals and vivid, provocative lyrics. Check out their single Fantasy off of their album Secondhand Rapture, available on iTunes.

Ottawa, Ottawawestfashion, Wellington

Wow

My last post was from the summer. So basically, I’ve moved to Victoria, BC, getting my MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Victoria. I was attempting to start a blog for my time there, but it’s proving difficult. I’m coming back to Ottawa soon for a month for the holidays, and I’m hoping to post some new content on this blog, and possibly start featuring street fashion of Victoria after I go back. We will see. 

Thank you to any new twitter or blog followers, I really appreciate you taking interest in the site and I promise you when my life makes a little more sense, content will become  regular. 

Thank you to anyone who has e-mailed me about Ottawa fashion related or Westboro/West Wellington related events, I miss the lovely fashion scene Ottawa has going on. If you are interested in me covering anything that is happening between December 5th and January 6th, please send an e-mail to ottawawestfashion@hotmail.ca and I’ll do my best to attend.

That’s it for now. Hopefully more later.

-Fi xo

PS My Booster Juice on Wellington closed, wtf! Worked there for almost 5 years, RIP free smoothies.

Anyone else see these amazing signs today?

funny, Hintonburg, Posters, signs, West Wellington

So walking around the neighbourhood today, specifically along Wellington West in between Parkdale and Smirle Ave, I saw a series of amazing posters:

Whoever put these put is a genius. There was a pretty big cluster around the Bridgehead at Caroline, but they were sadly taken down by mid afternoon. I also saw this adorable sign about a week ago (perhaps the same person?):

Anyone know who is responsible? I’d love to find out…I’m also super tempted to call the listed numbers. Tempted and scared…

Ottawa Fashion Week: Friday February 17 Part 3: Off the Runway

19 Sunday Feb 2012

chic, cocktail dresses, Fashion, Ottawa Fashion Bloggers, Ottawa Fashion Week

One of things I was most excited about seeing at Ottawa Fashion Week on Friday was what people were wearing off the runway. I was delighted to meet so many nice people, many of whom were also Fashion bloggers to please take the time to check out their sites!

Julia Brucculieri, Capital Oh, Loren Romei, Lo’s Style and Melissa, Life is Always On.

 Sabrina Kwan, Sincerely Sabrina, and Laura.

Megan and Crista,  who were working the event.

Erika and Lina and a photographer for an Ottawa based fashion blog (I forgot your name and site, sorry!)

My friends Erika and Lina excited about the show.

Erika, eesypeazyee,  and Lina Crompton, Beyond-Boundingly Forward.

Yours truly rocking Winners (gotta love Winners).

How my feet felt by the end of the night (I don’t do heels well).

Once again, a great experience. I was sad I was only able to attend one night, and look forward to the next one in Fall 2012. It was so nice meeting so many great and new people, and being exposed to truly Canadian and local fashion. Now, off to find that stripped dress…

Take care darlings.

Bridgehead, combat boots, Forever 21, H&M, Ottawa Fashion Week, wellington west, Zara

It’s just me, a few shots of the woman behind the camera, drinking a half Chai half Roobios Bridgehead tea under a Wellington West flag.

Scarf: Istanbul Mosic cover-up, stolen from friend. Cardigan: second-hand find from SVDP, Star tunic: Zara's, Leggings: Hue brand, Necklace: Forever 21, Boots: Globo.

Next to the Cube Gallery. Dress: Fall 2011 H&M, Necklace: Forever 21

I just wanted to say a few things:

1) Please check out Petite Adventure’s style profile on me. I make a few jokes and talk about my love of sequins. Also check out her blog in general, it’s lovely.

 2) Ottawa Fashion Week kicks off tonight! I’ll be in attendance tonight, taking some shots of what people are wearing off the runway, so feel free to come say hello.

That’s it for now. I’m pumped for warmer weather and replacing my winter jacket with a  lighter one soon! Take care, until next time. Now time to freak out over what to wear tonight…

California Dreaming

California, Coats, skinny jeans, winter

This is Madison, who I spotted on Holland at Wellington. She’s from California originally and for some one whose maybe not so used to the cold she’s dressing very stylishly for winter! She’s a photographer on the go so I appreciate her functional yet hip look and I love her skinny jeans and cute shoes, which were unfortunately purchased in Cali. Unfortunate for me that is…

Thanks for posing Madison!

snow, wellington west, winter

…makes it very hard to A) take my camera out and B) be even remotely fashionable.

Taken along Wellington West. Get ready…the giant snow mounds that line the sidewalks will be here soon.
