on the eve of a new year

    

Wishing you a wonderful evening as you ring in the new year. Here's to new beginnings and incredible adventures. May tomorrow bring the excitement of a fresh start and the reflection of days gone by. All the very best.

xoxo love,

P.S. Here are a few of the photos from the masquerade shoot I did with the stunningly beautiful Danielle & Stephanie.

For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.

summer adventures

The other day, after a perfect evening of short films and dinner with friends, we stumbled upon some sidewalk salsa.  A local salsa club was holding a dance party in the middle of the street just as the night set in.  And, of course, the only thing to do in that situation is... well, dance!  It is time to spend the warm days (and nights) savouring the outdoors and seeking new adventures.  Let the summer linger for a little longer by finding some spontaneity in each day. Whether it's enjoying a bike ride (or a Vespa ride), late lunches on a garden patio, picnics by the water or simply a book with a blanket on the grass.  Let these summer days be full of cherished moments.  And always make time to dance in the streets.

xoxo love,

jolie

Tommy Ton & Anna Dello Russo

      

Anna in her princess perfect, Brian Atwood blush pumps (with Swarovski encrusted heels).

Her infectious energy, warm spirit, her golden pomegranate and alligator necklace...what's not to love?

Mannequins styled by Anna for the exhibit in her finest fashion pieces. Headfruit was included!

The wonderful and always inspiring Jeanne Beker.

Fashion lovers pulled out all the stops from head to toe for the event. Tommy's beautiful photos of Anna were blown up on a massive scale as well as a behind-the-scenes video he shot of Anna getting dressed in her not-so-little closet.  Also on display were Olympia Le-Tan's handmade minaudieres straight from Paris.

It was a night to be remembered. Tommy and Anna's unique friendship and their inspiring collaboration has invigorated the fashion world, inviting us all to be courageous, have fun, be silly and take risks.

Anna Dello Russo

                                 

A few weeks ago, Tommy Ton, the innovative and talented photographer/ blogger (and fellow Canadian), hosted a perfectly chic party to launch his exhibit 'When Tommy Met Anna.'  With the divine Anna Dello Russo's presence at The Room, the city's fashion elite came out to the soiree to celebrate the fusion of their creative friendship.

It finally feels like the new season is upon us. The rain showers have brought May flowers and as we welcome the new month I wanted to share a sneak preview of some of my photos from a beautiful video shoot for Paria Lambina Spring/Summer 2011. {visit my Flickr page for more}

Hope you're enjoying the weekend. xoxo

photography project

                 

I recently had the honour of shooting Comrags Spring 2011 collection for a very lovely online magazine Heron of Style.  A day sprinkled with old Hollywood glamour in the historic Gladstone Hotel.  We had an amazing time!  I wanted to give you a sneak peek of some of the photos but there will be more coming very soon. 

xoxo love,
