Season’s Greetings from the Westcoast! I am knee-deep in family and cats, relaxing to the max and reverting back to childhood mode (ie. cookies and television). My life didn’t change in a way I hoped on Dec 13th but I did get a bathtub full of honest feedback for my ego to soak in. FW2012 is still going to happen but now I feel like I’ve been given a second chance.. a chance at a redesign so young, and so fresh it will turn you all into pedophiles.

Anyways, here I am wandering around Gastown. **TOURIST NOTE** Gastown is a beautiful neighbourhood strategically placed beside the saddest/scummiest street on earth. Stay west of Carrall Street if you aren’t partial to drugs, people on drugs, people who sell drugs or people who should be on drugs.

Hastings, Vancouver's most famous/adventurous street!

Vancouverites may already know this beloved Main street establishment as cool kid mecca and the sweet bearer of $10 rummage sales.
Torontians, let me introduce you to my F as in Friend, F as in Frank. Born this October, nestled sweetly on Queen West, I approached this nubile, young store insistant on taking some tasteful photos. Seducing them with promises of fame and fortune, they gave in to my advances and here’s what we came up with.

Vintage shopping usually ends in me being overstimulated by chaos and leaving empty-handed or worse, regret-handed. I like Frank because the clothes are neatly sorted by style and colour with plenty of light to peruse. They also offer reworked garments that breathe new life into the crazy fabrics of yesteryear.
