Self Love for Lady Gaga!

Lady Gaga is on a roll - she is truly empowering! Her newly released single Born This Way hit the 1000th #1 in Billboard History.
Lady Gaga - Born This Way single


She's also featured in the March issue of US Vogue, photographed by Mario Testino. I'm not a fan of the pink bob but I love every piece of clothing she's donned herself in!


Lady Gaga and Mac cosmetics have launched their second Viva Glam campaign, just released today.

Carnival de Quebec 2011

Took a roadtrip for the weekend to Quebec City, just in time to catch the end of the biggest winter carnival in the world. 
Amazing snow scuptures

Of course, I had an ice glass of amarula.

Beautiful Old Quebec

Strolling down Grand Allee, the street was sculpted with outdoor ice bars.

Waiting in the freezing cold to see the winter parade. 

Chez Ashton - This poutine was delectable! The cheese curds squeaked in my mouth as I chewed on it - Perfection!

Chute de Montmorency

The falls never entirely freeze over. Mist that rises from the falling water crystalizes and falls back down forming a little snow hill at the bottom of the falls, known as a sugarloaf.

Jump for joy on the sugarloaf :)

MFW 2011: Telio Competition

A couple of my school mates from Vancouver entered the Telio competition and ended up being the finalists. In total, there were 25 finalists, all had such creative pieces of work. The winner received a $3500 scholarship. And it was so nice to see my friend Earl win the title Canada's next breakthrough designer!

Congratulations Earl!

Look who it is? Saw Nico a year and half ago at Toronto Fashion Week but was unable to get a picture with him. This time, success!

Kanye West for V Magazine

Grazing the cover of Spring issue of VMan Magazine is Kanye West, one of the most controversial music and fashion icons of our generation. Here's the thing: it's not just Kanye being Kanye on the cover, but it's Kanye being photographed by Karl Lagerfeld and donned in Louis Vuitton.

Kanye has literally put his money where his mouth is; each issue of the magazine contains a real dollar bill! I want!

“I think it’s dangerous to play it safe because you will just get lost in the midst of ashmere twin sets. People don’t want to see clothes. They want to see something that fuels the imagination.”

She graces the cover of LA Times Magazine shot by Georges Hobeika.

PliƩ, Pirouette, Pointe!

Ahh, I am so in love with this video! 




I've always been so mesmerized with ballerinas. The idea of dancing so gracefully, so delicately and so beautifully is pure magic to me. Dane Shitagi photographs these exquisite dancers against the backdrop of NYC in  The Ballerina Project.
