outlandish october crawl

Once again, it was jovial chaos with dizzy alice at Friday's art crawl. 
As the days get shorter and night falls upon us earlier, we had our "Pocket Full of Sunshine" and "Sing a Song of Sunbeams" hats shedding light unto the evening!
Do you dream in colour? Teacups overflowing with candy of the rainbow was a sight to behold...
 It was the perfect weekend to spend time with family and friends. Sipping a tea and enjoying the joys of James North together is always in fashion.
There's nothin' like darling dainties wearing docs perusing dizzy's collection and purchasing some interesting pieces.  
Friends hanging out and enjoying the street always brings smiles to our faces, and meeting dizzy followers in person makes our heart sing. 
Our beloved birdcage went to this sweet thing who cheerfully announced, "I need this in my life!" What a brilliant coincidence her favourite movie is "The Birdcage."
Our "Lady Grinning Souls" had grins from ear to ear when we realized we sold our grinning cheshire cat change purse to Mickey Desadist from the Forgotten Rebels. Sometimes we just have to "grin and bear it" when our thoughtfully selected items are sold, but knowing they are going to such wonderful homes always soothes the soul. 
We were so honoured that the darling dame, Jentine from My Edit, paid us a visit. She even bought a wonderland-esque cocktail ring, which is perfectly displayed on the shoulder of her gal pal!
After the art crawl, we strolled into one of the quaint Portuguese bars and the belle of a bartender was enamoured with Alicia's dizzy sweater. Alicia was more than happy to sell it to her right there and then! (literally the shirt off her back)
"After a fall such as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling downstairs." - Alice
We must say farewell to the following fall fashions that flitted forth forever...
We couldn't help falling in love over and over again with the leaf print on this high-waisted corduroy skirt...but alas, someone else did too.
The combination of fanciful fuchsia and loveable lace collar on our "Granny Pan" sweater has captured our heart's desire for evermore!
This sunny tam will take the chill off any autumn day! All our plaid shirts, including this one, left us and it's no surprise since plaid just screams, "cozy Canadian comfort!"
Ahem, excuse me as I adjust my bow tie...
This dizzy duo is overjoyed by the wonderful people we've met at our outdoor art crawls and as they come to a close, we want to say thanks for your love, support, and curiosity!
Adieu to you! xo

mad tea party

How fitting that a mad tea party provided the perfect inspiration and backdrop for our dizzy alice photo shoot. Our philosophy reflects the essence of a mad tea party in that we believe style should have no pretentious rules or expectations but rather, exude freedom and fearlessness. We believe in mixing new and old pieces, experimenting with accessories, embracing individuality & mood - and of course having a ball along the way!








   
Our shoot was the stuff dreams are made of: we were submersed in a colourful frenzy with waltzing butterflies and tantalizing cupcakes from Bitten.







The pearls devoured the scene while nonsensical riddles were music to our ears.
One could say it was a darn right beautiful mess.





Our accessories mingled with our housewares to create much muchness. What could be muchier?








You may think we are raving mad and we would thank you for the compliment.
Our only hope is that our Cheshire grins are contagious. 


So put on your party hats...



...and don't be late for the art crawl on Friday, August 9th at 6:00 pm! xo

Our photo shoot would not have been as enjoyable or successful
without a few special people helping us along the way:

Anna:
For this photo shoot we wanted a dramatic and playful look. Our makeup helped us get into character and feel as though we popped right out of Wonderland. Anna's talent, experience, and creativity allowed her to stray from her usual form of makeup application. Anna's speciality is classic bridal makeup as well as timeless makeup for any of life's significant events. Check out her website here to see some of her gorgeous work:
 
Travis:
Travis is an up-and-coming photographer who is a pleasure to work with. His eye for creativity is always mind-boggling. The perspectives he captures with the lens is like no other. We absolutely love working with Travis; his casual yet professional manner allows us to feel at ease in front of the camera. To contact Travis for your own photos, you can reach him by email:
