So a couple of weeks ago, we headed downtown to check out a few fashion shows that were part of Toronto Fashion Week. So far we've posted about the Laura Siegel Presentation and we still have to post some photos of the Chloe Comme Paris and Label Runway Presentations that we attended. For now, here's what we wore for the shows:


F21 Beanie, Rayban Glasses, Aldo Necklace, F21 Oxblood Sweater, Vintage Cape, Aldo Off Duty Leather Handbag, H&M Oxblood Pants, Jeffrey Campbell Benatar Booties c/o Lulu*s

Laura Siegel Spring/Summer 2013

You know how at NYFW there's the  Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week shows that are all at the Lincoln Center? Those are all the big sponsored shows and then there are the ones that are independently run over at the Piers, Highline Studios and Milk Studios?

Same deal at Toronto Fashion Week-- There's World Mastercard Fashion Week coming up this week at David Pecaut Square. But this past week, we had the pleasure of attending some of "The Collections" shows at The Burroughs building on Queen West. Check out the video below to preview the designers that participated:

Our first show was at the Laura Siegel Spring/Summer 2013 Presentation. There was definitely a Southwest/dessert boho theme. With muted greens and sandy colours, the bold knits and pretty draping were highlighted. I loved the macrame accessories and fringe details and although summer just ended, I'm already craving more festival-chic outfits again. Here are some of my favourite shots:
