Happy Back to the Future day (aka Future Day)!

Today is October 21, 2015 and this post is posted on 10/21/2015 07:28, which is the exact moment when Marty McFly travelled to the future to save his family in Part 2 of the Back to the Future trilogy.  I remember watching the movie as a kid (over and over again because they always replay it) and was captivated by the out-of-this-world storyline.  Everything from Doc's DeLorean time machine to the Marty's self-lacing Nike and Hoverboard wowed me.

Being a big fan of the movie, I have to dress for the occasion.  So I pulled out my BTF tank from Forever 21, paired it with an oversized 90s flannel, leggings, and Chuck Taylors.

Leaves are turning, the sun comes up a bit later than before, it's officially sweater weather.  Fall is definitely my favourite fashion season, because you get to layer, but it's not too cold yet for mini skirts.  But if you know me, I often go with cozy and comfy clothing, because it makes me feel at home even when I'm outside (I'm a hopeless couch potato).

So I'm excited to be pulling out my chunky knit sweater from boxes and wear them... Starting with this number...

This past Summer has been weird.  It's hot, then rainy, then cold, and hot again.  We didn't get as much nice weather as we would like.  Nonetheless, we're now here, first day of Fall, Summer 2015 is officially behind us.

Canadian National Exhibition, aka CNE or the Ex, has been a Toronto tradition for over a century.  Many Canadians or even tourist will come to this annual 18-day fair for the shows, exhibits, food, casino and so on.  This year, for some reason, the man was very excited to go to the Ex, so we walked all the way to the venue and spend the evening there last night.  This is our photo diary... or better known as Rica's food diary...  I also included my OOTD here, CNE style :).  Hope you enjoy!

When everyone has the same skirt, what do you do to add your personal twist to it?  This conversation came up a little while ago soon after the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection was launched.  Maria from Beauty and a Bite (@MariaAguilar), whom I had the pleasure to meet, saw that I was wearing the Animal Print Skirt and told me that she had the same skirt.  We bonded over our same camera and same skirt, and we start chatting how everyone in the fashion world is styling similarly, especially when it's paired with the pieces from the same collection.  So we thought to take the challenge and showcase how we would wear it and make it our own.

The World MasterCard Fashion Week SS14 has just wrapped up, and it would still be a little while before we start embracing the 2014 Spring and Summer trends.  However, there was one special show on day 4 of WMCFW that we can all dive right into—Target Holiday 2013.  Let's back up a little and talk about the preparation right before the show.

Check out Maybelline's backstage media lounge:

I have had this crochet dress since early summer (first instagram'ed here), but I still haven't had a chance to wear it until yesterday.  I'm glad it got some use on the first day of fall :).  It was quite chilly outside, so I threw my chambray shirt on and put on these Forever 21 leggings (they are so darn comfortable and warm).  Huge shout out to Emily from THISWASFOREVER, who helped me got the Mini Satchel from the coveted 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection!  I'm loving it!

Since it's officially Fall, I have to start shopping for winter leggings and tights.  I need to be more prepared this coming Winter because if history was to repeat itself, I won't have the time to do that when January rolls around.  I got some great deals from Forever 21 last year, hopefully they will bring back those thermal lined tights :).  Where is your favourite place to shop for leggings and tights?
On another note, I also started posting on LOOKBOOK.nu, well, this is my first post haha.  Go check it out as I'm sure I will have more outfit post coming up :).

Until next time,

It is the time again for Toronto Fashion Week, or now known as the World Mastercard Fashion Week!  I had the opportunities to attend a few shows on Day 2.  On my way in, Mr. Max Kopanygin snapped a few photos of me outside the tents, and it made it on FLARE Street Style!

It was the day that I came back home from the MARCELLE/ANNABELLE Beauty Unveiling, when I asked my boyfriend to take some pictures of my outfit. I realized I have not done an OOTD for a while now. My apologies. But here it is, my outfit I wore to the Beauty Unveiling event!

It's Saturday, but I got a lot of errands on my list.  So I can't help but slacked a bit in the outfit department.  My go-to comfy outfit is always sweatshirt + leggings/jeggins (I tend to buy long sweatshirts).  Here you'll see two of my favourite fashion finds of 2011 in action (yay)!

Can you see the "fog"/"smoke"/"I-don't-know-what-it's-called"?

It was so nice outside today.  I was all dressed up for a mother-and-daughter date and ready to leave, but my roommate left the house with his key and his car was blocking my car.  So there I was, wondering what I could do.  I thought it'd be a perfect opportunity to take some outfit photos as the first fashion post for this blog!  So here we go!

Trying to walk gracefully, but I kinda failed.
