It’s so fun to play a show, and then getting to meet some fans after makes it even more fun. When I played the live stage at BX93 in London Ontario, they had set up a special area just for fans to meet and hangout with their favorite artists from the day. Get to meet great people and hearing how much they enjoyed a particular song is such an exciting way to connect with people, because it means what I’m doing has resonated with them, which is why we create music! Here are some photos from the day.
Sunday Best
On my last day in London Ontario, I went for brunch with a friend and then had time to stroll around a bit before my final radio show and interview. I opted for my favorite black high waisted Topshop jeans again and paired them with a sheer sparkly top with a peter pan collar. This look really captures my day-to-day style; I love feminine yet edgy looks and outfits that can transition. I was able to go from brunch, to strolling the streets, and then to a radio station visit and show! What is a key piece from your closet that allows you to transition looks?
Leather and Lace
I love the look of leather, but mostly I try and opt for a faux leather when possible, because while I love the edgy look, I don’t necessarily love the idea of wear real leather comes from. I also love lace and this dress combined the best of both worlds! I’ve had this dress on hold for a while because I saw it and loved it, but I didn’t have the right event to wear it for, but when the CCMAs came up, this dress immediately came to mind! I love the elegant structure and shape, partnered with the leather lace, because it’s so unique! I wore this to another after party during the weekend and had so much fun wearing it, it truly makes a statement! Is there a certain material or style that you really love?
Convent Garden Market
I read before venturing out into London Ontario that this spot was a must visit, so I found my way to the Covent Garden Market and it lived up to the description! There was fresh fruit, great little restaurants, sweet treats, and my favorite, the Tea Haus! We had an excellent salad at The Salad Bowl, and then a Green Tea Chai shake from Taylor Sue’s Cups and Cones. As someone who loves tea, the Tea Haus was the real treat because of the many varieties and flavors and the fact that it was all natural ingredients! Even just wandering through the market was a great way to spend an hour, it’s small but packed with interesting treasures. What interesting markets, indoor or outdoor, have you visited?
Arriving in London
I’ve been to London Ontario once before to visit some radio stations, so actually getting to explore the city as part of CCMA week was a great experience! We arrived Thursday afternoon just in time to attend the opening reception at London Music Hall and throughout the week I had the chance to visit and take in some great local culture, I’ll be posting more about that soon, so make sure to check back! In the mean time, here’s my outfit for the opening reception, a black lace dress with fringe detail and my favorite over the knee boots. It was the perfect mix of style and glamour for the opening reception. Black is always a go to color for me, what’s something you often reach for when putting together a great outfit?
Golden Birthday
I had my golden birthday in July, and it was such a good time. I got to spend the day in Toronto, one of my favorite cities and spend time with some of my favorite people. A few years ago my family and I started a fun tradition called“Christmas in July” dinner; on my birthday my mum makes my favorite dishes from Christmas and then my family comes over and we all have dinner together, just like Christmas! This birthday was wonderful and I’m really looking forward the all the wonderful things coming in this next year of my life.
How did/will you celebrate your golden birthday?
