The sleeves on this dress are pretty big and they are also in a square shape so I picked them up and pinned them together with the flower brooch to make it look like a shawl on top of the dress!

Samantha- Gorilla + Trompe L'Oeil








Sweater- Beckerman hand knit cotton and cashmere sweater from Beckerman Fall 2006 Collection
Pants- ReCollection from The Bay in Toronto
Bag- Prada pink robot bag (borrowed from Caillianne) from Godmum
Charm on bag- Prada flame on bag from Prada store in NY
Socks- Purple Sock from Sox store in Toronto
Shoes- Miu Miu studded loafer from Miu Miu store in NY and Cast from Doc in Toronto :)

The Look: Gorilla + Trompe L'Oeil

Fun Fact: This is one of my favorite sweaters that we made from the Beckerman collection. I'm obsessed with the gorilla arms. When we designed the sweater, we had this idea that we wanted to put a knitwear belt and knitted pearl necklace on the sweater so that we didn't have to wear any accessories with it! I just went to the doctor to get an xray on my broken foot (it's been 3 weeks already with the cast on) and he says 3 more to go. I broke it in two places on the dance floor, so he said it might take longer to heal. And he also told me that I probably won't be able to wear heels for a year..OMG!!! I'm gonna prove him wrong!

Victoria Secret Party with the Angels!

A few weeks ago, we went to the opening party of Victoria Secret! It's finally in Canada---Yahoooooo! We definitely waited long enough..eh? (Haha!) The Victoria Secret Angels were there and we got to hang with the amazingly sweet and awesome Erin Heatherton , Chanel Iman and Adriana Lima (LOVE THEM!!!) They also put gigantic runway Angel wings outside of the store, so that we can all pretend that we are Victoria Secret angels! The night was so much fun cause we went with our Mom and sipped on pink petal drinks.. it was such a fun girls night out!

Caillianne- Motorcycle + Surf and Turf








Blouse- Freda from The Room at the Bay in Toronto
Sunglasses- Vintage pink (no label) Sunglasses from Showdown Vintage in Toronto
Skirt- Proenza Schouler leather skirt from The Room at the Bay in Toronto
Slip- Black American Apparel slip from American Apparel store in Toronto
Shoes- Alexander Wang Jacquelyn boots from Holt Renfrew in Toronto
Bag- Balenciaga clutch from Balenciaga store in NYC

The Look: Motorcycle + Surf and Turf

Fun Fact: We were completely obsessed with the Proenza Schouler's Spring 2010 line because we loved how surfer rock it was. Growing up we went through every style and phase of dressing up. We were raver/ skaters, we were hippies, we were surfers, we did them all! Hahha! But for some reason when any designer comes out with some kind of surfing inspired collection that has tie dye in it (especially with colorful hair) we get so excited!!! The skirt is really clever because the Proenza boys made it look like a leather jacket that is tied around my waist.
