The Genius of Sarah Leora

Sorry for the lack of posts, but lately things have been . . . crazy, to say the least. But my blogger hat certainly remains on! There is something very comforting about writing what you have to say, whatever the subject. Today, the subject is designer Sarah Leora.

Sarah is a seventeen-year-old school girl inspired in large part by Audrey Hepburn. Her label isn't designed to be cutting-edge and avant-garde, but rather feminine with a modern twist, which you know I'm a total sucker for.





I apologize for directing this blog to a summery flashback, but I had to post about Sarah Leora as soon as I heard about her. As a high school fashion student, she is not only style inspiration, but business inspiration. To have a successful fashion line out before graduating? Yes, please! If I had two hundred dollars or so in my pocket to burn on clothes, you can bet I would direct my mouse to the online shopping cart at the Sarah Leora website. Would you?

Artist of the Moment

I've known Kaitlyn since grade seven, but I hadn't known about her artistic talent until grade nine, when I first saw her work. I wish she could photograph my outfits everyday! Her artwork is simple, pure, and beautiful, to name a few fitting words to describe her gorgeous art.









It's this work of art that inspired me to blog about Kaitlyn. Here's the backstory of the photo, as written by Kaity herself:

this man is 28 years old, he was kicked out of his home when he was 17. he has been living in toronto for the past 11 years on his own, being only able to buy food and clothes about once every two months, if lucky. the reason i stopped to talk to him was because he was smiling..at me. sounds creeepy i know. i sat down beside him and he asked me about my camera, and i told him that i loved art. he told me when he was younger he loved art also. i asked him why he was kicked out of his house, and he told me that it was because he was gay. i then asked him if he realized what it said behind him...and he said he knew, because he painted it. this is where he lives, in that exact spot hes sitting.

i dont know if you noticed but it said "nothing will change"

i asked him if we could do an art project together. so we walked down to spadina ave, baught a can of paint and together we painted "everything will change."

Kaitlyn = absolutely amazing.
