The Weekend

The Weekend - If you don't know him by now, it's a name you are sure to be using A LOT in the near future! He is a fresh new face on the Toronto music scene and he is coming to claim the spotlight. All I can say is that every time I listen to him I get taken away into a different world and he leaves me speechless. His music stays steady on repeat and and his soul filled tunes are ones that I can't get out of my head.

With that being said,

ONLY PRESS PLAY IF YOU CAN HANDLE The Weekend's "Wicked Games"

'Pillow Talk'

She may have the face of an angel, but don't let her pretty looks fool you. Reese is all about handling her business. She has proved to myself and many others that "Acting like a lady- Thinking like a bitch" (one of my favourite nebby quotes) can result in an abundance of successes. This Toronto based designer is the new name on all the lips of the city's movers and shakers. Her line is called Lulu Dash and her blog is on my list of favs and keeps me updated on the day in the life of the designer we have come to know and love. I had a chit chat with Reese for a little "Pillow Talk" recently and here's what she had to say...

À LA MODE

COMBAT BOOTS

Reese  "Just the other day I was called “the female Justin bobby” - hmmmm not sure how I feel about that comment just yet, but I am guilty of the baggy, layered, bummy trend. What better way to complete the look? COMBAT BOOTS, Love, love, LOVE them!"

Zoey  "I love the combat boot. It's an upgrade from my childhood cadet boots. I can express my inner tomboy with my girlie-ness, so cute!" 

Jaclyn Genovese (designer)  "Grunch/combat boots - I love this look as long as you pair it with something more feminine - a dress, short shorts, skirt etc..."

Intern Tee  "Combat boots will always be in style I love when, I love when their mixed with glam!"

Erika (Designer)  "Combat boots? Hell yes, their perfect to add a little edge...!!!"

Amanda (model)  "I am a big fan and defiantly like the look because there is a slight boyish feel to the look but can very feminine at the same time. I often wear mine with dresses or leggings  and a tunic style shirt."




Let me know what you guys think!

Something About the Way He Moves!

Blog readers who I adore sooo much....I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Sucre Cortez, a dancer who goes by the name Funkie Monkie! Name suits him perfectly if you ask me! =) I met this fine young man through that lovely thing we like to call NETWORKING! Sucre is a North African 21 year old (not to mention such a cutie ahaha), based in Ottawa, Canada. (Yesss that's the capital city! LOL) Judging by the video below, you'd never guess that he's only been at it for THREE YEARS! He clearly has some amazing raw talent and he has the potential to take his dancing to a serious professional level. There's not much else I can say, you'll have to watch the video to see what I'm talking about. =)

Stay tuned for more from FUNKIE MONKIE by clicking the links below!
