style

unfortunately i missed a fantastic show last night.  mother mother played at the phoenix and i had no idea.  it's canadian music week in toronto.  mike is exhibiting for work, so he has this fancy badge that i think is really cool.  it doesn't look anything like this:

i had briefly skimmed the artists but there were so many i couldn't be bothered to search (thoroughly) for a familiar name.  please listen to my favourite mother mother song:

the weather appears to be trending to the warmer side.  i've noticed major improvements in the quality and quantity of people watching.  i find it much more interesting during spring, summer and fall.  maybe because i'm not a huge fan of winter after the month of decmber.

. . . toronto is a great place to observe different styles.  it might be due to the mass amounts of people.  my current favourite website has brought their street style feature back.  this is entertaining for several reasons: sometimes it's inspiring, and sometimes it inspires laughter, and other reasons to be determined by the viewer. i wish i had the guts to take photos of strangers because there are a lot of different styles i'd like to document.  but it's pretty much impossible to take a photo of a stranger and not feel like a creep.  whether or not you're taking it in secret.  that's why i like pages like street style!

this morning as i was waiting for the bus, i saw a grown man with this on his head:

i would have taken a picture of him, but i thought i would protect him from any more people seeing him in it...  well at least i know what i'm getting my brother for his birthday now... i looked up "toque made out of socks" and found out that it's made by a canadian company called pook.  so that's kind of... neat?

as i continued on my commute i saw a grown man wearing bright yellow slippers.  i increased my pace in order to see what on earth he was wearing...

well that's [also] neat. (photo not taken to protect the wearer's identity)  i understand the purpose, infact i think they're really smart... but why yellow?  i thought he was a duck dressed as a man.  it looks like the are made by a company called swims.  maybe i was just really grumpy about going into work this moring... when the rest of toronto decided to call it a snowday.  anyway mr. fancy boots got this song stuck in my head:

so much talk about "snowmaggedon" today.  it doesn't seem that bad.  we are canadian after all...

i'm covering reception today and as i greeted one of our clients i asked him if he wanted a cup of coffee or anything, and he replied a little peace of mind would be nice. to which i replied sorry, i'm fresh out.


**i sincerely apologize if i have offended anyone with my strong opinions on these items...**

despite my low disposable income i decided to pamper myself this weekend.  it started with a hair cut at ini hair design.  and then i spontaneously decided to treat myself at lucy nails... well that turned into a manicure and then i threw a pedicure into the mix.  i have had this done 2 other times in my life and while i did enjoy it, it's never been something i really craved.  but you know what, it was worth the money.  i left feeling like a brand new person.  i can see how people become "addicted" to these services.
