What Cheer

These were the last photos I was able to snap when I was still in Montreal.  I love how the city always seems to be so alive even if it's buried under feet of snow.  In the summertime there's people everywhere and there's lots of festivals.  This was taken on a day where we decided to go out and walk up and down Mont-Royal Ave. and check out all the things going on in the street such as poetry readings and street foot!  Definitely miss it.

When I went to Paris a few months ago I began my love affair with Kenzo.  When we were strolling through the Galleries de Lafyette I was drawn in by the new collection's brilliant colors and iconic designs.  Needless to say, they're a few notches above my pay grade but I digress. I learned a few days ago that they plan on releasing a short film with director Gregg Araki and I'm beyond excited.  The film, entitled "Here Now" is set to be released next week on July 4th and stars many young hollywood personalities such as my personal favorite Avan Jogia.  I mean, how could this get better? Before I go geeking further, just watch the trailer.  July 4th, please come soon.

OKAY so here's the deal. Here I am, juggling three jobs with this dream of having a successful fashion blog on my hands.  Well, I'm still working on that dream and I'm just going to keep posting as much as possible.  This weekend when I'm actually not working (crazy, I know) I plan on re-vamping the place as well as getting the new image out of my new name!  Coming back to where I'm from, the beautiful if a tad boring Rhode Island has inspired me to finally reach a blog name that reflects something about where I'm from and who I am.  What Cheer?  Well, that's the phrase supposedly uttered by the founder of Rhode Island (and my family's ancestor) when he came to what would become Providence and met the indigenous peoples who lived around there.  Also it's the name of a pretty cool vintage record store downtown, and just in general a rather Rhode Island-y phrase.  So there.  More posts on actually being fashionable to follow!
