I was loitering outside the LG Fashion Week tent, waiting for Miss Karizza and catching up with Mr. Trung Hoang of CONTRA Mag (who just released an anniversary issue – pretty bomb), when Jonathan Loek asked to snap a photo of me. Being the ever confident person I am (sarcasm – I’m a nerd), I thought not to fix myself up proper for this snap (whoops! Dampered day I suppose). Blackberry in hand and flat hair complete, I requested not to look short (for those of you who know me…that probably isn’t possible. I like to call it “gargantuan”).

 

Much to my surprise, my girlie Amanda spotted first that I was featured with Style Mountie (The Scandal) as the lead images for their street style post for day 2 of Fashion Week.

 

Check out the other looks here.

 

Thanks so much blogTO!

    Yay for being featured, Ria! :D But I think they downplayed your occupation, though. :/ I mean, you do SO MUCH FREAKIN’ MORE than just blogging. But at least urbanebloc’s name is put out there so people can have more places to check out for style blogs! :D

    I really like your outfit! So cute! You look like you fit right into fashion week. :)

    I read through some comments and someone commented on “the lack of diversity”..?! I looked through all those pictures that were taken and I was very happy to see people of different backgrounds posing, not to mention different styles/outfits, and I liked that they featured a very fashionable MAN as well. And it finishes off with, “..that only certain types of bodies may rightfully be deemed ‘fashionable’.” While I do agree the fashion industry DOES promote thin, white models as the ideal (one only has to take a look at the latest French Vogue controversy), but within this TO context, these people featured on blogTO are obviously NOT those superficial, heavily, made-up, glam models – they are the everyday girl/boy you see walking down the street and they represent the creativity in Toronto.

    So if it’s not okay to make fun of fat girls, it’s also wrong to turn-a-round and criticize NATURALLY-thin girls who can’t help having a good metabolism, mmmk? Besides, those girls look really healthy to me. I believe in diversity, but let’s face it: diversity isn’t just in the body type.

    And to the comment, “women who appear to be too poor to afford pants”? Please, just because you can’t pull off wearing a skirt doesn’t mean other girls cannot wear what they please and LOOK DAMN GOOD in it.

    This last comment utterly pissed me off: “do you really want to scroll through a feature of ham-beasts wearing clothing that they really shouldn’t be?” Yes, because it’s my basic right to walk around in public anywhere I like and wearing anything I choose. And even if I was parading around naked, the fact is that these ham-beasts SHOULD NOT BE assaulting women IN ANY WAY/SHAPE/FORM in the first place.

    I meant to add, exclamation marks after that last sentence like this: !!!!!! Haha. Anyway, Fashion Week looked fun and beautiful! :D Of course, I didn’t see because I’m not a fashion girl at all, but nevertheless, I appreciate art and seeing you profiled! :D
