Surpise Of The Century

OH MY GOD! really? shut up! Friggin UNbelievable! I was walking DT yesterday, walking past Holt Renfrew, which apparently just remodeled, walking past their store front windows gazing into the glass at this other world that I came from. Each manequine in a distinctly gorgeous ensemble. As I moved past the second window I caught it; my own reflection. Like a ghost in that other world barely visible. Walking along a parrallel path to my own. Barely visible. My heart sank as I wondered if the path I currently tread will ever link back up with the path the girl in the glass was walking. As I moved beyond the display she dissapeared. I dared not to turn and enter. I was feeling vulnerable to consumption. I could never just look. My pocket virbrated. The text read "OMG Rach Energy just posted your blog online!!!" Whatever feelings of doubt and insecurity I had were immediatly banished. I jumped inside the next doorway, away from the cold. Logged onto Facebook and OMG they totally did! Rather than ask the questions of how and why I started texting everyone I knew about what happened. The best part is that I actually listen to the station and follow them online! So bizzare and out of this world. I was already content with the week from attending the opening shows for AB fashion week. They were great RTW accesable collections. Alala was lovely tapping into ladylike chic. Dutch Blonde was youthful and fun. Both worked with alot of color and print in different silhouettes. I truyl couldn't call a favorite as for each model that stomped it out I could see myself in need of her outfit for one event or another. Like all premiere events there we some glitches and bugs but that is certainly to be expected. I certainly hope this is going to be a recurring event in the city.
A Big THANK-YOU to anyone who checked my blog out yesterday! I hope you enjoyed. I never really thought it would receive many reads and I am actually kinda embarassed now that it has. So many people have read the intimate details of my life. If anyone is interested I am on twitter and update it when I post a new blog. Or they are on FB too.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'll be at friends on Sunday for dinner, Katherine, ( I don't think I have mentioned her before but she is amazing and was my escort to ABFashion Week) is hosting a dinner with a few other people who she says I should meet. So prior to Sunday I will be out searching for winter clothing this weekend. I left most of my winter wardrobe back in TO, currently there are some very warm, well dressed ladies there in my wool and fur. So completly unprepared for the cold to arrive so quickly I am in desperate need of hats, scarves, gloves and coats. I was invited via FB to a Thanksgiving weekend sale at Deerfoot Mall, so I will see if I can make it down there however, this is one shopping trip I am not looking 100% forward to. A perfect winter coat is so diffult to find. Granted the selection is endless however when it comes to a sublime wool that you can wear throughout the season, the pattern has to be just right. It's all in the details, the collar, the buttons, stitchin, tailoring, length, color, the actual wool itself. The accessories though! J'adore an extensive variety of gloves and scarves. The power of accessories is essential to keeping yourself thrilled with a garment that you have to wear in and out day to day. So I must face the cold and the plastic demons in my bag to ready myself for the coming months and for this dinner. Meeting new people always requires one to make the best first impression. The thing about first impressions is you only get one!
