My Mendocino Moment Party

 


On Bianca: ASOS dress (similar styles here and here), Cameo skirt via Mendocino (similar styles here and here), vintage shawl (similar styles here and here), Topshop earrings, Mags shoes (similar styles here and here)

On Dani: Vintage dress (similar styles here and here), Cameo skirt via Mendocino (similar styles here and here), Emporio Armani shirt (similar style here), H&M necklace (similar styles here and here), Shoes c/o The Editor’s market.

Over the past couples of weeks, we had the pleasure of working closely with Toronto boutique chain Mendocino to style an outfit for their new campaign, My Mendo Moment. Since we are essentially the same person, our outfitting endeavour was completed together – resulting in a crazy baseball-capped print and texture mishmash of a mannequin, coupled with an accompanying fashion haiku poem that will undoubtably touch the hearts of mall-goers everywhere.

We don’t follow rules
pattern mixing, bold colours
maximalism

If you’re in the GTA, our mannequin will be on display at Mendocino’s Yorkdale location until June, so CHECK IT OUT IRL. Thank you, thank you *bows* *wipes tears* *queen wave*



Bandaid




Top: c/o The Editor’s Market
Jeans: Levis (via Lookbook.nu)
Plaid: Agyness Deyn for Dr. Martens

Hi everyone! I’m off to New York tomorrow on a last minute WERK trip! I’m excited, but I’ve had to leave a buttload of things on poor lil Bianca :( :( :( So although I feel kind of bad that she has to hold the fort down and swat away embrace deadlines while I’m away, I secretly know she’s going to be having all the fun…….I think.

My mom saw this top from The Editor’s Market and called it a glamourized bandaid. I think I agree with her, but only in the best way possible. It reminds me of like the top part of those bandage-type prom dresses that were all the rage when I went to prom, except in flesh-coloured-crop-top form (which obviously means that it’s superior to everything else, ever). It’s kind of hard to breathe in, but whatever – anything for ~*fashion*~ and ~*glamour*~.



Why Cross-Coordinate When You Can Just Match?







On Bianca: Club Monaco shirt, H&M necklace (similar styles here and here), Vintage shorts (similar styles here and here), Nike sneakers (similar style here)


 







On Dani: H&M dress (similar styles here and here), Emily Woudenberg necklace, shoes c/o The Editor’s Market


 
As I’m sure all of you are aware, Bianca and I are highly cross-coordinateable human beings, so a morning textual inquiry of “what are you wearing today?” is not at all uncommon. However, there are only so many matching print sets that we own (respectively/together/etc), so on the days when we can’t successfully cross-coordinate in-person, we send each other hex codes via technology to relay the exact colours we are wearing so when we see each other from a distance. For instance: “Hey Bianca, today I am wearing #c395b1 and #e4aa57, please try to match me okay I love you bye.” In which case Bianca will respond with “How about my ___ shirt and my ___ shorts?!?” And I, knowing the contents of her wardrobe front and back, will reply “THAT IS PERFECT, SEE YOU SOON.”

PS: In case you are seeking clarification about the reasoning behind this task, it is so we can run towards each other with arms outstretched and publicly express our matchy-matchy excitement. #productivity #magic

ALSO, Note the CN Tower in all of these pictures! Elle, this one’s for you!!! Toronto pryde!

K&P out.

Hi everyone! We’ve been working on a very special project with Mendocino and we want YOU to be involved! Alongside other fantastic Toronto bloggers, Bianca and I styled a mannequin to reflect our own “Mendocino Moment,” and for a month, said fun/fab mannequin will be displayed in the window of a Mendocino store!!!!

Now, you might be sitting at your computer screens scratching your heads and pondering what ON EARTH our Mendocino Moment might entail (and subsequently, how we might embark on visualizing it in real-life outfitting situations). WELL, my friends, you’ll just have to wait and see – or, if you’re lucky enough, join us at the launch this Thursday (May 16th) at the Toronto Eaton Centre to share our moment and create a moment of your own!
