The Future of The Blog...

Hey my avid and very supportive readers, I know it has been way too long since you have read a word typed by my very capable but frustrated fingers, reason being is I have been completely enthralled in thought about how to progress with my blog, since around all I see is another blog taking off and being noted...and my blog isn't really progressing how I feel it should.

No...this is not me giving up on the blog because it has become a part of me that I really can't let go and definitely can't stop, it must live on as long as a blog is relevant to you my very important readers ...it is just I want to bring you unique and interesting material, all which recently I haven't been able to truly access or comprehend where to begin to put it together...but then it struck me...summer in Toronto is very near, which means amazing photography, clothing and friends so i was no longer pained with those negative thoughts.

So this post is just one of those thank you posts for being so supportive and patient but this summer with my new wardrobe upgrade and style evolution, also my new friends, some who are talented photographers, it should be an epic summer, so lets say it together...the future of the blog is definitely a good one!

Such A Long Hiatus...

I know that it has been way too long...without any posts or anything but have no fear, everything I am doing is for the progression of the blog. I have been super busy in Toronto, just trying to get my life together...find my place...work out a strategy of how Imma be Imma be rich baby rich...

Its all coming together fairly well, obviously there are some downs as well but those I can't let get to me, because I have too much things that need to be accomplished...so this was just to let you...my amazing readers that I will be back in full swing soon...and thanks for being so patient...

Toronto Update: Discover Bruno Ierullo

Alright, everyone should know by now that I am in Toronto on a very serious mission to secure all of my life goals and compelling aspirations of success. Well, all I can say about that is, I had the most amazing week in my life and to thank for that would be Bruno Ierullo, a menswear and womenswear fashion and accessories designer that I would call Toronto's hidden gem. Isn't he just cool also?? Such a fun guy to work with as well!

Yeah I know you probably haven't heard about him before and that is unfortunately why I used the adjective "hidden", since he isn't one to be seen at Fashion Week but from time to time would produce his own shows...I hope you are excited to find out more and see what was my collaboration with Mr. Ierullo...yes? I thought so...well it was for a long photo shoot that will represent his online store and I couldn't be more proud to be involved in such a grand step in his progression because quite frankly the clothing is nothing short of constructive genius. I styled mannequins and helped an amazing photographer by the name of Michael Feswick (check the genius at work here) along the journey of capturing all of the many designs created by Bruno Ierullo.

Anyway, enough about me, lets get to what you really want to know about, the clothing...well at first glance, it is like a candy factory or a rainbow, hmmm better yet a skittle factory of tasty colours is the best description for his incredible love of all things joyful, vibrant and interesting which is definitely what you will be your feeling with these pieces donning your body. Although the colours may be extremely eye popping and catch your attention without hesitation, Bruno Ierullo believes in detail and originality even though there is no real intricate over-design involved with his pieces since they are relatively straight forward with a couple notches here and there that make you cringe with excitement for the twist of uniqueness that you would be privileged to wear.


The fabric choices are very much top notch as well with many Italian wools and linens...its expected with him being of that descent, we all know that the Italians know well made clothing. Another interesting detail is the use of some unconventional materials such as rubber for pieces like suspenders and button clasps, just another way of being completely unique without making you wonder into a world that minds shouldn't have to venture when it comes to figuring out if something is fashionable or not, so props to him for finding that balance.
Anyway...I can go on and on about his creativity but words aren't going to rightfully justify what a visual can do...so soak in energy of the pictures and witness for yourself the talented, colourful and most definitely deserving of global recognition, Mr. Bruno Ierullo.

So from now on remember the B.I. Logo...and for some humour - even stuff toys know their stuff!


So again...I have to Thank Mr.Bruno Ierullo for this amazing opportunity and his assistant...probably the best in the world Rene Holder for the hookup! Mike for all the fun times...as well as Rene again...also, the amazing staff he has around him...everyone is so great at what they do...I wish the Bruno Ierullo brand great success!

and to top off this amazing experience...check me out in the B.I. Vest Jacket...So good isn't it...

Swing into Spring 2010...Menswear Help!

Don't we just love that spring fashion is going to be in full swing in a couple weeks, it is such an amazing time of year, so colourful and cheerful and particularly great for me because its the time I can wear a neon pink pants and people would just say...its spring and he's happy!

Good times, good moments with friends and for you guys that get winter...no more heavy coats...but then that is the problem...what is appropriate since its spring not summer and its no longer winter so whats appropriate...because its still not hot just that its definitely getting warmer than below zero.

Anyway, GQ decided to help us this year with GQ trends, its a new style supplement in association or collaboration with who other than...*drumroll* H&M, that helps keep guys in the know-how...I'm not so big on following the trends but its good to have one or two of those trendy pieces in your closet to mix with your classics...check the April issue of British GQ for it. Here is the sampler though...




Definitely interesting right...a must buy!

Taking a final beach day before my trip...

Sigh...this is what I will really miss about Barbados...the many beautiful picturesque beaches and surroundings...

My apologies...For Paris Fashion Week

Sigh, where do I begin? Paris Fashion Week has come and gone with not one review by myself...I'm actually disappointed that I couldn't have shared my thoughts with you about it but I am quite frankly so busy right now that my blog has suffered this last week. I apologise profusely but its all for better times ahead, I'm am preparing for my trip to Toronto to sort out living arrangements for this Fall 2010 when I start school there, its quite a big step since I'll be doing it all alone...but we gotta do what we have to, for progression. At least, the blog will be taken on a whole other journey within this short trip of about four weeks and I hope you do stay with me and experience life from a small island to a big city, it'll be like a taste of whats to come when I actually move there! So let the journey begin...


Also...I will be showing you some of my favorites from Paris but again without a review because of the time i am granted with at the moment...and some that I didn't get around to from Milan as well!
