Denim Perfection @DAVID_KAHNJeans
Happy Fashion Week New York friends! It is the beginning of an exciting 7 days so make sure you pace yourself. While everyone is trying to be more eccentric than the next person – I will opt for the classic looks. Black and White and also White and Denim with a pop of color.
I never heard of David Kahn jeans until recently and when I tried them on, I was sold! The Nikki Ankle fit is incredible and there is stretch in every pair. The last few years, I have been living in leggings and dreading the times I have to wear jeans but these are so comfy I have been wearing them 2 days straight! I love the way they have a 8 inch rise so your butt never hangs out and you don’t have to be constantly tugging at them. Since I am only 5’3 the ankle style fits me perfectly, no cuffing or altering required! They do not squish your butt at all. They actually lift them – how cute!
David Kahn Jeanswear is a California-based denim company that features both men’s and women’s designer jeans. Since 1999, these jeans have been designed and merchandised by David Kahn and the collection consists of the highest quality Japanese and Italian premium denim with the most sophisticated and inventive washes available anywhere.

David Kahn Jeans typically range in price from USD $158 to $248.

What She Wore: Recap of @WMCFashionWeek #ootd
I get really excited and frustrated when World MasterCard Fashion Week comes around, because I have no clue what to wear lol. I’m excited for all the fashion goodness, but when it comes to dressing myself, I’m a total wreck. This season, I did what I always do, BRIGHT COLOURS. I figured people won’t really notice how nice, or not so nice your outfits are, when there are nice and bright colours to distract them lol. So my approach this season was keep it simple, and O.D. on lots of colour, prints and head wraps. As for my make-up, I chose to keep that simple as well; clean face, winged eyes, and a burgundy lip. I planned on wearing my fro out this season, but the weather was crazy honey, so that wasn’t happening! Here’s what I wore during 5 of some of the the most fashionable days in Toronto 🙂
DAY ONE
I had just gotten off work, and I was exhausted. It was cold outside, and I was feeling blue… I was also late so I had to think quickly lol
Headwrap: H&M | Dress and Earrings: Forever21 | Vintage Blazer: Black Market | Shoes: Jessica Simpson | Bangles: Costa Blanca
DAY TWO
The mustard and the camo headwrap just seemed like a good idea… and as long as the colours were popping, I was cool with it 🙂
Headwrap: Holt Renfrew | Vintage Blazer: Black Market | Dress: H&M | Shoes: Aldo
DAY THREE
I had the day off and the chance to take a long and glorious nap, so I was feeling more fashion week-y on day three! Plus, this jumpsuit was TIGHT when I first bought it, so you can only imagine the JOY I felt, when I put it on and it fit! I had to rock it!
Headwrap: It’s a pashmina 🙂 | Vintage Jumpsuit: Black Market | Shoes: BCBG MAXAZRIA | Bangles: A market in Accra, Ghana
The “Big Red Bow” was a hit during fashion week, and this is the first time I’d ever tied my headwrap like this. Success!
I was feeling fun, flirty and girly, so this dress was a natural choice!
Headwrap: H&M | Earrings: Forever21 | Vintage Silk Dress: Black Market | Bag: Steve Madden | Wedges: Aldo
I really didn’t know what to wear for day five, I was tired from all the shows and events, and just needed a nap; but once I remembered that I had this dress that I bought in the UK almost a year ago, everything fell into place 🙂
Headwrap: Black Market | Earrings: Forever21 | Dress: Miss Selfridge | Shoes: Aldo
There you have it! What do you all think of my choices?
Stay fly!

Event Recap: @WMCFashionWeek Days 3, 4, 5, and everything in-between.
So fashion week came to an end on Friday, and as sad as I was to see it go, I was also extremely relieved lol. I could finally give my feet a rest, and my afternoon naps could pick up where they left off… I kid 🙂 I was really excited for this season, I guess missing the last season, had me craving all the wonderful streetstyle, and of course; I couldn’t wait to see what this round of designers had in store for us.
What did I think about World MasterCard Fashion Week F/W2013? Hmmm…. It was nice. Honestly, I was exhausted by day three and there seemed to be a certain je ne sais quoi missing this season. I didn’t bother filming any of the shows after day two because everything was going to be online anyway, and let’s be honest the quality of IMG’s video is way better than mine 🙂
However, despite the exhaustion I loved catching up with and meeting Toronto’s fashionistas, and I’m always inspired by the designers who show their collections. I wasn’t thrilled by majority of the collections, but I’m always inspired by the courage that these designers have to show their collections, to hundreds of very picky and very fashionable fashionistas 🙂
My Favourite shows from Days 3, 4 and 5?

PAVONI!!!
This show was my life!
My highlights this season?
- I LOVED Korhani, Bustle gave me life, and PAVONI? PAVONI took my breath away!
- I made a few best dressed and beauty lists, which was kinda flattering I can’t lie 🙂 Thanks to GLOW Magazine, Fashion Magazine, BlogTO, and everybody else that made this lil girl feel a lil special 🙂
I always think my liner looks a lil off so this was very comforting lol 🙂
- I got to catch up with my fellow blogger fashionistas who were all looking beyond FLY honey! *two snaps*
- * The street style. Despite the crazy cold weather, Toronto fashionistas were not going to be swayed, because they BROUGHT it through wind, rain, snow and shine!
There was a great deal of black on the runway this season… I’m a sucker for bright colours and bold prints so all the black leather, fur etc. obviously this wasn’t my thing, but I will say that all the collections were really well made, and the attention to detail was ON POINT. Two very fashionable thumbs up.
I can’t wait for World MasterCard Fashion Week S/S2014 because there’s bound to be lots of colour! Woohoooo 🙂 A big congratulations to all the designers who showed this season, I can only wish I had even half of your courage to follow my dreams!
Until next season 🙂
Stay fly!
