Before Fall even officially starts, fashionistas were celebrating what is known as Fashion Month. Traveling to market across New York and Europe from designer shows to designer after-parties, showcasing what will be hot for Spring 2016. This is a time where we can preview the trends before they are out, and how to wear them by watching our favourite street style photographers’ social media accounts—who will snap celebs, international bloggers and models fresh off the runway.

It’s New York Fashion Week and I’m sitting here in Toronto so jealous. Fashion week, each season, is so hard for me, because I don’t usually get time off to visit shows. Next month, when Toronto shows come to town, I hope to get to as many as possible, and can’t wait to see the amazing local talent.

In New York, all I’ve been seeing is athletic wear. From running shoes (which I just picked up an amazing pair) to track jackets (see Pharrell William’s Grammy look). I am obsessed with this season from Adidas. Where the sporting look isn’t really my style, this season they’ve created breathtaking pieces that are edgy and feminine.

Oh, and with the Olympic Games going on, I’m feeling a little bit sporty, too. Go Canada!

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.

 So clearly, like every other fashion lover in Canada, I’ve been patiently awaiting the arrival for Toronto’s Fashion Night Out, unfortunately though I’ve been so exhausted lately, I only ventured out for a bit.  As a retail junkie, it was a great time to celebrate the shops, especially the 175th birthday of Holt Renfrew #hot@175. I ended early where as the rest of the stylish Torontonian  ran off to party the night away at Toronto Life’s Stylebook Party celebrating the most stylish people in Toronto, like my friends and Plaid Magazine’s Editors Odessa Paloma Parker and Robert Weir.
