In the heart of downtown Toronto, amidst the brand name maze is Kensignton Market. This small area is hidden within China town, just North of Dundas and Spadina, and offers shoppers a unique experience filled with vintage and handmade goodness. From bakeries to butcher shops, record stores to vintage chic, Kensington Market is for explorers and fashionistas alike. My most recent visit to the village was for a photo shoot, and I was able to kick back and have a little fun after we wrapped up the session. We bought fresh veggies from the market, cupcakes from the bakery, and browsed through countless books, sunglasses, and leather jackets. You never know what - or who - you may find at Kensington Market, but its sure to offer a fresh take on Toronto's retail world.
Here's where to find the market yourself:
Main stretch of the market is on Kensington Ave. between Dundas & Baldwin St.
Have fun shopping Toronto!!

Spotted: Fashion Designer Peter Nygard
Spotted earlier today at Pearson International Airport, Peter Nygard's Boeing 727 personal jet parked at a hangar near the corner of Derry and Airport road. The fashion mogul's empire headquarters is located in Toronto, so I'm guessing he is back in the city for business affairs. Just proof that a passion for fashion really can take you places! (I won't speak for his personal relationships mind you...)
Maybe I should go into celebrity reporting? Paparazzi? Haha, not a chance.

The Simple Life: A Photographer's Set
Undoubtedly, I am a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl. I am most comfortable - and most happy - in an outfit that is both functional and stylish. That's why this is my go-to set for photo shoots and informal work such as interning and outdoor events. Mind you, I wouldn't wear something like this to shoot a wedding though, (that calls for another Polyvore creation! ;)) Anywho, this is what I wore today to shoot some scenery along the Lake Shore. I find with simple outfits such as this, accessories are key to personalizing it and standing out while remaining cool and effortless.

The Art of Celebration
In less than three weeks, City Nights Entertainment will be holding one of the biggest public events to ever hit the Toronto club scene. "Self Made", an event that is not only being held on the biggest weekend of the year for the city, is hosted by none other than Toronto's own Tristan Thompson - first round draft pick to the Cleavland Cavaliers. Spotty, the event coordinator, predicts nothing less than perfection for the event, and is working every single day to bring it to its up-most potential. In the midst of this chaos, he has been able to put together a campaign for his company City Nights, as well as the "Self Made" event, which includes a professionally produced commercial. The film titled, "The Art of Celebration" features the beautiful Chanel Reyes, getting ready for a classy night out on the town - City Nights style. "I just wanted to take the city on a visual journey of our representation of the ideal night life experience." says Spotty. This is only the beginning of big-time status for this mogul and his team, and with NBA celebrity guests to kick off with, the sky is hardly the limit!
Without further adieu... the official release of "The Art of Celebration"!
