Eighties Mayhem!

I know this is pretty much completely out of the realm of outfits I normally post. Buuuuut, tonight is Eighties Mayhem at the Black Cat! I really hate that bad 80's fashion is making some weird comeback. When I dress with the 80's in mind, it's all punk rock and new wave for me.

Toronto, Buffalo, Hot Dogs, Oh MY!

Well, we're back! What a trip, it came and went in a flash. Buffalo was fun, saw lots of cute boutiques, all closed. Boo. I know it's a little much to expect independant shops to stay open until 10 so I can see them all. Toronto was a lot of ground to cover, by the time I made it to a more high end vintage shop they had just closed. Nuts. I did however pick up a couple of 60s shift dresses (one was only $1!!) at a consignment shop.

Found a cute shop with mostly Canadian designers called Cat's Cradle Boutique

Picked up this awesome denim wrap dress for half off!!

Another sale steal I found at the John Fluevog shop.

The LA Bianco in Bronze on sale for $199. WooHoo!

I only wish I had more time to explore both cities... Last thing of note, I love hot dogs. I seem to try one in just about every city I visit. This time around I had a dog from a vendor cart in Canada at Niagara Falls (on a hard seasame bun! what the what!?), and went to Ted's Hot Dogs in North Tonawanda, NY.

My advice, skip the street vendor and go straight to Ted's!

Stay Tuned, We'll be back!

Fear not fashionistas! Today I Want will be offline for a few days, but will be back on Tuesday with adventures from Canada, eh.

fall's on the frontline

She's a tough cookie.

My fashion identity is all over the place. I like when an outfit says, I'm a cutie patootie, but don't mess with me! 

It's like a crunchy cookie with a chewy center.
