La Femme: Diary of a Style Addict

My name is Adeleine. I live in downtown Toronto... if I wasn't in Toronto, I would live in Reykjavik, Paris or Copenhagen. My first loves are style, fashion, cinema and travelling. I grew up as the child of a gay international midwife with no fashion sense but great style and adventure - she challenged me to dream and work to make dreams real. Ten schools and homeschooling in Canada and Australia later, I started freelance writing, working in costumes on small film sets, travelling and studying for a degree in the arts I love by distance education. I believe in creating and living your dream life through your work every day. Both online and offline, I enjoy being with others who feel the same. My best dreams come alive when I experience and share the beauty of international fashion and cultural arts.

Philosophy

I have loved fashion forever, but beyond that, I am captivated and in love with style. Style is about confidence and creativity, and sharing your personal beauty with the world through cultivating the magical presence that is elusive but there for all of us . Fashion icons understand this- attitude comes first, clothing second. Any well informed fashionista can slip on a pair of Manolos, or dress up in Chanel tweed, but without style, the look is merely a collection of expensive garments assembled according to the directions of Vogue magazine. A clone of a thousand other women walking the high streets of cities worldwide. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with this, just like the fact and utility of uniforms, but for me this approach can be boring and grey. Clothing shouldn't just hang on your body to display someone else's work; the magic of style makes it a part of you and helps you to look amazing and feel like a beautiful force in the world. Even when the world is hard. You definitely don't have to be a supermodel to achieve this! Style and beauty are human artistic birthrights for all of us.
