Guide to Visiting an Art Gallery

  1. Ouu and Ahh at every single thing you see
  2. Find adjectives to define what is before you – add in words that you don’t even know for bigger effect
  3. Treat everything as art, including the drinking fountains and wooden benches.  Trust me, they are probably art.
  4. Repeat 1-3 until your partner complains of extreme boredom.
  5. Allow him to drag you out of the gallery.

Davis and I went to the Art Gallery of Ontario yesterday afternoon for a mini cultured trip.  We had a pass to get us both in for free, so I figured we ought to go so we can at least say we’ve been there before.  My artistry only goes as far as makeup so I did not know what to expect stepping into this gallery.  To be honest and completely unpretentious, I actually really enjoyed the European collection.  I am not even going to pretend I know what I’m talking about, but dude, that detail of that stuff was amazing!  That’s really the only good thing I have to say about the gallery.  I managed to sneak in some pictures because I am just dangerous like that.

zomg, rocks and mirrors make such great art!  Our shoes make even better art.

Frames: Davis’  Giorgio Armani glasses from 10 years ago.  Vintage!

Shoes: Deena & Ozzy lace up booties from UO
Purse: My favourite everyday purse from UO

Here’s to a great week, guys!

  1. I like the old school frames – what’s the term? ‘Geek Chic’? Yes, totally geek chic! I actually don’t go to the Art Gallery very often, maybe 2x a year, but I am an avid lover of the ROM (and you can take pics inside without fear)!

    I also love Justine’s flying starbucks pic from a couple of posts ago, what a great tribute.

  2. Fantastic glasses! Love the lipstick shade too – what colour is it?

    I was just at the AGO today…it’s such a beautiful space. And it’s just a few steps away from the shopping on Queen West. Recipe for a very fun spring day!
