MMM x H&M: The Pre-Shopping Party or a lesson in self control

The world has been anticipating the Martin Maison Margiela collection with H&M for a little while now, and I was ready to participate. I booked 2 days off of work to line up overnight, but to my luck, starting a fashion blog has its perks. Namely, being invited to the pre-shopping party.

Burnin' a hole in my pocket: Fitzroy Boutique

A preview of things to come from Blessed are the Meek, SS13 at Fitzroy Boutique. Can I still pull off sequin shorts? Uh, yah!

I fell in love with Fitzroy Boutique ever since I found out about their pop up shop about a year ago. They hired me to make a little video for them at their first location in Yorkville, and after that, I was hooked! They carry the coolest lines from Blessed are the Meek to Whitney Eve and Show me your Mumu (totally choice printed chiffon). Nothing is priced over $200, and it's great stuff you won't find anywhere else in Toronto. Plus the owners, Angela and Julie, are totally sweet and easy to shop with! Self described as boho glam, these girls have something for everyone.

It's about time.

Shoes: Zara, Pants: H&M, bike: Public (so fast)

I've been an observer  / participant of the fashion industry for a very long time, and am kicking myself that I hadn't started fashion blog sooner!

That's not completely true. I've started about 5 blogs, and have contributed to a few online magazines. I have a severe case of ADD when it comes to the internet. I was on lookbook.nu when it first came out (thank god those photos are gone), had a year long stint on Tumblr for a while, and started my own fashion webseries. I noticed what other successful blogs had that I didn't. Continuity. So, here's my 4th or 5th attempt at getting a good blog on the roll.

What I need:

1. A great camera.
2. Discipline to post at least twice a week.
3. Some HTML help. (any tips?)
