So there's this dude named Mayer Hawthorne from Ann Arbor, Michigan. He's this tall guy with thick rimmed glasses who's signed to Stones Throw Records (a very diverse and hip hop influenced record label). His music has got so much soul, you wouldn't even believe it. I loved his record so much that it ended up being the first piece of vinyl I ever bought (thus requiring me to purchase a record player IN ADDITION to that sweet, sweet heart shaped record).
Been meaning to blog about him (and many other things) for a while now, but I've just been catching up with a few things and thought now would be better than ever with this concert annoucement from REMG.
His first official vid here:

it has been more than one year...
...since the release of these beautiful python and leather skinned, chain strapped shoulder bags. Why can't I stop thinking about them?!
The mauve one in particular. Maybe, one day...

la Parisienne idéal
Finally found that photo from Mr. Sartorialist...
Fancy those shoulders, because I most definitely do.

my oxford infatuation continues
Today marked the first day of Spring here in Toronto! As we head into this new season, we expect longer days, sunshine and more smiles. We leave behind long nights (though they were quite fun), dreary days and most importantly ruined shoes due to salt stains and slush!
Here I present to you the Sergio Rossi Oxford Lace Ups I plan to soon purchase (for quite a lovely deal too!) These babies stuck out to me so much one day last October, while cruising The Sartorialist, I had to blog about the woman wearing them.
I deem these my rays of sunshine and welcoming into spring.
As Karl Lagerfeld says, "Buy what excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping."

she's been hiding in France
and PFW is [almost] over!
London's win with me was Louise Goldin's F09 line. Stunningly Dark.
Paris, I'm still undecided.
