Katey Sagal = the fashion chameleon

Reason number 1934000044 why I love Katey Sagal : 

She can transform her look effortlessly from the vibrant spandex-loving, big hair wearing Peg Bundy from Married with Children to the dark and rock-n-roll chic Gemma from Son's of Anarchy...

Ode to Oprah....A Look Back at her Style Throughout the Years...

"If you want to be on the cover of Vogue and Anna Wintour says you have to be down to 150lbs — that's what you gotta do," Oprah told BBC News.

1998 - Oprah on the cover of Vogue

Oprah Winfrey is the ultimate success story. From being first African-American celebrity to grace the cover of Vogue, to campaigning for the first black president, to starting her own  magazine and launching her own network, Oprah has hit many milestones. From big moments to big fashion, Oprah knows how to make a statement. 


In honor of her finale episode airing tomorrow Wednesday May 25th 2011, I have put 
together some pics of her most memorable fashion moments of the past 25 years.

1986 - First national broadcast of The Oprah Winfrey Show

1988 - Oprah reveals weight-loss of 67 pounds

80's Oprah stole the show when she interviewed Elizabeth Taylor

1997 - Loving Oprah's slick hair-do at the People's Choice Awards 

2005- Oprah gave away a new car to each of her audience members in this stunning bright red Celine skirt-suit, which matched the red ribbon on the key chains

2007 - Oprah at the Opening of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa

We'll miss you Oprah! Thanks for memories <3

My Summer Swimwear Pick

In several ancient cultures, owls were viewed as very "cool birds"(insert british accent here). Now you can wear this bird of prey when you hit the beach this Summer. 

Shop Black Milk Clothing to buy online http://shop.blackmilkclothing.com

One Cool Bird

Nude, Campbell Soup, Urinal Dresses

When you are getting ready for a night out on the town do you ever stop and think "Ohh yaaa I can wear the urinal dress tonight!!!" (Perhaps Lady Gaga does?!)  Well now everyone can have that option!


I recently came across these walking works of art from the Venus in Sequins collection shown at London Fashion Week .I must admit these dresses are refreshingly creative and I enjoy the playful side they bring to summer. Not to mention, they are all handmade artwork dresses, a lot of sequins and embroidery went into their construction.


Get one before Lady Gaga snatches them all up! http://www.notjustalabel.com/

Andy Warhol inspired Campbell Soup Dress

The Bad-Ass Urinal Dress

I love how they added pubes to the Nude Dress

Deliciously Detailed Desserts at Cake Opera Co.

If I had to pick something that I loved just as much as fashion and sharks....hands down, it's CAKE.

Recently, my sweet tooth was able to locate the most delicious and beautiful cakes I have ever seen. What's even better; the store is located right here in the heart of Toronto and its called Cake Opera Co. 

Alexandria Pellegrino is the artist behind these extravagant cake creations, which are becoming not only a hit in Canada, but also giving her international recognition. In fact, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden ordered a cake from her for their big wedding day. 

It's no wonder Alexandria's cakes are in demand, her knowledge of art and art history allow her to create intricate cakes that quickly become a masterpiece (almost too beautiful to eat!). Having studied Fine Art at OCAD and experiencing life abroad in Florence to study art history she gained a lot of inspiration for her cake designs. After visiting the enchanting city of Florence, Alexandria returned to Canada to enrol in Le Cordon Blue Patisserie program and it was here that she combined her passion for the arts with beautiful desserts. 

Check out these pirate themed cakes, it’s one of my faves!

Cake Opera Co. is located at 1136 Eglinton Avenue West or you can check out her site: http://www.cakeoperaco.com to see more of her fabulous creations!
