project runway - tim gun =

Project Runway Canada. So lame-o! And yet, just like PR in the states, I can't stop watching. It's totally anticlimatic though. Let down.

So, if you haven't guessed from the first sentence of this blog: I'M IN CANADA! Toronto, to be exact. It all started over a boring Mass Communications class in which my friend Sarah said, 'What are you doing for Spring Break? My parents live in Toronto and the drinking age is 19.' A week later I had a ticket booked. That was less than 2 weeks ago, so clearly this was a surprise trip! And it's been AWESOME.

First and foremost, people always say that Canada is conservative and 'behind' with their fashion. Well, let me tell you, I see none of that! It's all one huge Williamsburg. We went to a place called Kensington Market which is essentially about a 5 by 5 block radius of just vintage and thrift stores. I was SO into it.

Today we went to the Bata Shoe Museum where I learned more about shoes than I ever thought possible. And, luckily enough, right before the museum we found a loft that 2 girls lived in and were selling their one-of-a-kind garments and shoes out of. I picked up a pair of STUNNING grey leather boots with tassles on the sides and I saw the jacket I'm going to marry. I was 260 Canadian dollars so I had to say no for the time being but I am legitamately getting a job JUST for this coat. It was bright turquoise and had stunning shapes. Ahhh, it was perfect and one of a kind and totally couture. I dig it. Hard.

Last night we went to go see Silverstein since it's CMW week here (Ummm, heyyy Canadian CMJ) hilariouuus. Next week is fashion week so everyone is gearing up for that and I must say: I AM OBSESSED WITH TORONTO! It's like a little piece of Europe hidden in North America. Everything about it is fabulous. Except Silverstein, haha. I don't care what a 2003 throwback it was - it was not a great show by them. Their openers were fabulous though. After that we headed over to Riva where I watched a series of the most pretentious hipsters I've ever seen get 400$ bottle service and dance to some insane beats. I didn't dance. Nor did I get bottle service.

Now I'm sitting on the couch watching PR Canada and missing Tim Gunn and Heidi. Tomorrow we're going to a St. Patty's Day parade and then onto Dog Sees God. 

Ok, this is such a stupid blog but I'm tired and wish I was at the blast that looks like RCKTOWN is (did I spell that right? It looks like it says Ricktown.) and I dont want to study or do any midterm homework. So wuteva. I hope you enjoyed hearing about how much more I travel than you do.
