So much has been happening these past few weeks, it has been hard to narrow down what exactly has been inspiring us. Festivals, Oktoberfest, new restaurant openings, and most importantly to us fashion folk, fashion weeks!
The beginning of September always brings a lot of excitement into Toronto with the Toronto International Film Festival. Our city streets are transformed into red carpets, and you never know who you’ll bump into at your favourite restaurant. There is a general air of excitement. We saw a couple fantastic films at this year’s festival but our favourite had to be the Midnight Madness winner, Free Fire. It doesn’t come out until late next year, and we can’t wait to see it again.
During TIFF, one restaurant happened to be a hotbed of celebrity activity. Calii Love Co opened it’s doors during the festival and is serving poké, smoothies and coffee. A delicious blend that we pretty much want to order for lunch every day.
But, let’s be honest. This month is exciting for many fashion lovers because it is FASHION MONTH. New York, London, Milan, Paris. Four weeks of parties, shows and street style. Our social feeds have been clogged with the same blurry runway photos and we are already planning our SS2017 wardrobes. Between the travel and the beautiful clothing sent down the runway, it’s hard not to be inspired by what the month brings. I mean, excluding the colds, the headaches, and the aching feet.
