Nathalie-Roze & Co's Seasonal #UberSwap






Last Thursday I had the privilege to be part of Nathalie-Roze's seasonal #UberSwap. Located in Leslieville, there's something cozy about Nathalie's shop I'm not sure if it was the friendly people I met, or all the cute crafty trinkets that filled the room but there was something very light and heartwarming in the atmosphere. The Uberswap was an experience all on it's own, it was somewhat like a cleansing, seeing other women try on my clothes, something in me as cheesy as this may sound, felt very moved by the experience. As I saw one by one my clothes disappearing from the piles I thought of all the memories I had with each item, and the adventures I embarked on while wearing them. With the clothes I brought not only did I share my joys from dresses I wore on past dates, to my disappointments (clothes I forgot to return!). I also picked up some great preloved treasures along the way, and as I said goodbye to my old loves, I said hello to not only to new clothes and memories but to new friendships aswell.

Pop-up shops & then some


This past week has been a blur, NXNE happened..enough said. I didn't get to check out as much shows as I did last year but it was eventful regardless. On Saturday June 16th, OTMzine & Songs and Cigarettes joined forces to host an outdoor vintage pop up shop. Some local Toronto faves including Dalston Grey, Tomorrow never knows, White Tiger and yours truly reppin Pretty Freedom were part of the retailers involved. Overall it was a cute little event that brought vintage lovers together, great deals with one of a kind pieces of clothing, popcicles, lemonaid and bubble machine included.
Check out a short cheeky video I made to give you a sense of what you probably missed or were lucky enough to be part of ;)
