Taking a Walk Friday, February 22, 2008 2:58 AM

When asked who I rank as my favourite modern day fashion photographer, my reply is always Mr. Tim Walker. With a never ending imagination, the British photographer creates images that are beautiful, whimsical, and completely magical. His work never fails to awe me and make my heart pitter patter.

In June 2008, teNeues Publishing is releasing a comprehensive book on Tim Walker's work which will contain 245 colour and black & white photographs. How excited am I? Hopefully some of these images will make an appearance. Next time I see a pair of shoes I like, I'll have to remind myself to save that money for the book instead!

Some of these images have been on my computer for years, but I think credting the scans to Foto Decadent, HT Photography, TFS, and Thomas | Treuhaft should cover it.

A short while ago I stumbled across the Etsy shop, TouchMeNot Underpants. Made by fellow Torontonian, Mary, the knickers in the shop were full of ruffles, ribbons, lace, and eyelet. I've always liked pretty girly underwear, but those usually comes with a hefty price tag and I'd rather spend that money on an item I can wear on the outside.

Seeing how affordable these knickers were, I quickly put in an order and they arrived today. I purchased a pair of lace & cotton knickers and a pair of ruffle bum knickers (so cute!) and they are every bit as lovely as they looked in the shop's photos. I was also impressed with the thought that went into the packaging -- simple yet effective.

These knickers perfect for everyday wear yet they're pretty enough to make me feel special when wearing them.

Mary also maintains a livejournal where her creations are documented. I spent a fair bit of time perusing through the archives. Undies never looked so good.

Heather gray turtleneck: Old Navy. Sweater vest: vintage. Skinny belt: vintage. Wide leg jeans: Old Navy. Aqua flats: Urban Outfitters via Value Village. Flower ring: Forever 21. Bag: Rise Commercial Building (Hong Kong).

This outfit is from yesterday. It was a lazy and rainy Sunday. First came the freezing rain then the regular kind making a huge mess of the streets. In the evening I went to see Definitely, Maybe (cute, though I think my friend & I were the only ones in the theater old enough to laugh at the '90s references) and later had a yummy mango milk black tea unlike the horribly powdery one I drank a few nights ago.

Today is the first time we're celebrating (celebrating? I guess we're celebrating...) a new public holiday here in Ontario; Family Day. It's another lazy day and I'm still in my pajamas.
