Livin La Vida Vintage

How was your new years eve? Equipped with my bottle of champagne and my fancy hat, I took to the streets of Toronto with my closest friends from grade 12, who I've been lucky to spend every new years with since. These pictures were taken in a friends family cafe - we had full reign for the night, then off to a bar in Kensington Market (where I got my little black dress) and later, a party!

I’m never that intense about sticking to my resolutions but I’ve always used the turning of a new year to reflect on the last twelve months and start envisioning and dreaming for the coming dozen.

I’ve been shopping second hand for years, but in the summer I began to see vintage for the real gem that it is. Blame it on Mad Men, vintage style blogs (check out my *very* carefully crafted sidebar for this!) and my friend Jenni who is a vintage visionary. One of my major thoughts for the new year, aside from improving my posture, washing my hair more and graduating university, is to bring more vintage into my life. Cause with every little bit I collect, I find a little more of myself (d’aaaw) and I hope you’ll slowly but surely start to see this evolution on my blog too.

If I was going to make this a legit resolution out of this, it would be a challenge to myself – only buy vintage for the next year.
