i'm still trying to figure out what my signature style is, and the first conclusion i've come to is that i'm always trying to throw in a little rock and roll, whether it be with my constant black nails and heavy liner or with a studded bracelet. it's always there. i hope as i keep developing these outfits i'll begin to nail down what else makes my outfits "me".

i'm supposed to be catching a free flick at the harbourfront this evening and i need an outfit. so... what to wear on a date, it's always a tough question. i like to mix more feminine pieces with a little, what else, rock and roll. take this polka dot dress and throw on a black leather jacket. add some pearls, with a dark smoky eye and voila, instant girl with an edge (hah).

pirate heart

have you heard of cœur de pirate yet? she is 22, covered in tattoos, a beautiful piano player, and up until this past year, has sung only in french. she recently collaborated with Toronto's bedouin soundclash for her first english-speaking song, brutal hearts. you can check out one of her original songs, fondu au noir, here. 

cœur de pirate will be playing franco-fete festival this weekend at the harbourfront centre. it's an annual festival celebrating all things francophone. p.s. there is also a magic show.

p.p.s. doesn't the beginning of the first song totally sound like, "it's the time, of the season..."
