Magic Flute


 In the cold winter months we got all dolled up and went to the Toronto Opera Company at Queen and University to see the amazing production of the Magic Flute.
Kaitlin and I believe that the opera is not an occasion for jeans and certainly not sneakers. We could say that we were fairly disappointed in the attire that we saw on our evenings at the opera.  Maybe we are just stuck in another time period but we think that you should try to match the romantic and classic atmosphere you get when you attend an opera by how you dress.
This beautiful floor length gown was perfect for the occasion. It was found in Kensington Market's "Vintage Depot". Although normally we only find the absolutely ridiculous there, this black lace dress was a perfect surprise. Its a 1980's dress made in California by a designer named "Roberta". I felt so great in the dress since it fit me so perfectly. It was just classic enough for the opera but has just enough unique details (the slit and the bow in the front) that I felt like myself in it.

Vintage Find of the Day

If you couldn't tell, we love the King of Kensington but for this week, we promise that this is our second last post on them. This almost velvet textured brocade blazer was so nicely priced at 25$. Instead of buttons, it has a simple black ribbon to tie up the jacket.  It is so classy and timeless and such a fabulous find!
