Fashion, like any form of art, requires inspiration. A trip to your local museum, art gallery, or concert are great places to see culture in from a different perspective.

I took a trip to The AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) and feel in love with the love story that was Frida & Diego. Their different outlooks on Mexico’s revolutionary culture during the 1920s and 1930s and how they expressed the same emotion, differently, was truly inspiring and is the reason they are considered Mexico’s most famous artists.

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekends, and had a great first day back to work, or for those lucky enough to be continuing their education, back to school.  I had so much fun this weekend  and was able to explore the Toronto Island, The Canadian Exhibition, and  Main Street Unionville. Though, waking up for work this morning was a very difficult.  It may have been the rain or the weekend’s activities, but I was definitely not the only person who was tired today.

So when everything is telling you to be sleepy, why not dress for it.  Fashion, this season has given us the “go ahead” to wear pajamas to work, out for dinner, basically anywhere. This lounge wear is so effortless, and is really about layering and comfort.  Made from cottons and silks, pajama pants (with matching tops) can be found everywhere, from Joe Fresh to Topshop. Next time your bed is calling your name at 6 am, put on some silky pants, and feel better knowing that you will likely be the most comfortable person in your office.
