Since I was 13, I’ve been dying my hair. It’s become a way for me to change my look, without cutting off my hair, which I’ve done,and regretted the 5 year grow out.  I’ve been many colours, bleach blonde, ombre, dark brown, streaked, and recently I dipped-dyed my own ombre tips cotton candy pink. But of all the colours I’ve ever been, red has been my favourite and my biggest challenge. For those interested in going red, it is truly an investment, and requires a lot of maintenance. I went to see my girl Natalie at Image Makeover, who herself is an amazing red head, to get this red pepper look, and am totally in love.

So runway shows are unfortunately something I don’t get to often experience first-hand, as I’ve always worked full time, but that doesn’t mean I’m not watching the shows, blogs, and the magazines, every time New York, Paris, London, and of course Toronto have their Fashion Weeks. Oscar de la Renta’s Spring Summer 2013 showed this week and it was unreal, I can’t even deal with the collection. It was so well thought out, having everything from gowns to piece easily worn for work.

With the inability  to think of anyone else this morning I decided to rock this vintage Oscar de la Renta silk blouse I had picked up a while back while thrifting at Value Village.

Other must see collections from  NYFW include the J. Crew and of course Marc Jacob’s, both with pieces I’ll be coveting for many months.
