Brass Knuckles

Everyone's (mine) favourite pint size duo has done it again. Well, actually, Robert Lee Morris has done it again…for them. Regardless, I’m hooked on the latest Elizabeth and James jewellery and I’m attempting to find a way to justify a purchase. Or two?

That charm bracelet will be on my wrist come summer end...

The Challenge

"News Girls" --Rom vs. Juls

We have recieved a challenge set up by the aunts, who are each sewing and sartorial experts. It's a Project Runway of sorts, Bain Ave. style. We have to either make or re-make a complete outfit from head to toe making sure to stick to the rules set up at the beginning.

This months theme: Menswear
This months rules: stay on budget, blog as we go, be finished come months end.

And so the brainstorming begins. I'm on the team that has to make an outfit from scratch. We have decieded to take our cues from Hannah MacGibbon, channeling Chloe's springtime pantsuits and jumpers. We plan to bring the hem lines up, add an 80's inspired silk tie and maybe find material in a colour other then navy. This is just the beginning, but here are some of the photo's weve pulled into our 'inspiration' folder...

Good luck Rom!

[FAT]

My roommate Rom auditioned too model in Toronto's Alternative Arts and Fashion week a month back and she got the job. She is one of the 50 models who made the open casting call and it's pretty damn exciting. [FAT] –as the show is affectionately called --starts today and runs until Friday, showcasing the many talented artists, musicians and of course designers that Toronto has to offer.

What is even MORE exciting however, is that Rom is featured on the She Does the City website in the special [FAT] section. The section on the site features a select few models, designers, artists and musicians who are taking part in the shows this week…and Rom happens to be one of them. Scope out what she has to say about being a part of the show here. Congrats Rom!

If you’re in Toronto this week and are looking for something to do in the evening, head down to the Distillery District and support [FAT]. Tickets are $20 at the door, for more info head to the [FAT] website.
