Siamese Twins: Two Looks

Everyone always makes fun of my wonderful husband and I, because we tend to match more often than not as a result of him raiding my wardrobe on a regular basis. This time, I decided it was my turn for revenge and so I stole his Monki jacket.

Sooner Than You Think

In honour of My Bloody Valentine releasing their new album, I decided to revive this blog before the first signs of the apocalypse hit. Instead of writing a huge entry I will leave you with a small collection of photographs taken over the past year.
Interlocking wedding rings designed by me and crafted by the always wonderful Bevel NYC.

Metal Magazine x Freixenet Party

Had a wonderful time at the Metal Magazine x Freixenet party last week at the Maritime Hotel with all of my favourite NY people. These photos have diminished our goth cred significantly.

My Room

Although I arrived to London three months ago with not much, I think I've finally made my room a home. All I'm missing now is a Kartell Bourgie lamp and 4 more square metres of space.

Suede at The Brixton Academy

Group photo by Paul Khera, Live photos by me and others by Odile
I don't even care that my face is crooked.

These past couple days have been the most amazing days of my life. Not only did I fulfill a 10 year dream by seeing Suede perform 3 nights in a row at The Brixton Academy but I met wonderful people in the process.
Seeing all the songs live has given me a newfound appreciation for the band and really changed the way I listen to them. You would think that growing up around rock bands and actors would desensitize me to getting all sappy about this (and for the most part it has) but Suede have just been such a big part of my life. That's all I can really say.

Thank you to everyone who made these days so special and fuck you to the guy who called me a fat American "who should lose weight so everyone could fit in the front row". He's lucky I didn't have my Bevel ring on because he'd be toast.

Stay Beautiful

Last photo by Hannah Daisy


I'm going to start off the post by saying that I'm currently a bit angry at the weather! I came to London for mild and grey weather and it's been nothing but 25º and sunny as hell the past week! What is this I don't even....
Because I hate this near summer weather I've been spending most of my days lying in various parks around the city and having picnics which is something I never really had the opportunity to do back in Toronto because no one ever wanted to.

Last night was the supposed last Stay Beautiful at the Purple Turtle in Camden but I have a hard time believing that since that's what they said last year when I went.
Going to SB is the one time a year when I feel underdressed and this says a lot from the person who will wear a leather harness to Sainsbury's.
