J'adore les arts!

J'adore les arts!
Toronto is becoming more and more metropolitan, gaining international exposure with industrial, landscape and cultural improvements. Now that it completed it second year, the Paris-originated, all-night arts festival is getting bigger and better. Here are our top five picks to help you survive Toronto’s hip, new, annual arts and culture festival, Nuit Blanche.

1. Boots:
With events taking place all over the city, lots of walking is inevitable. Therefore a pair of great boots is essential. Go for something tall (to keep those calves nice and toasty), and a well made, comfortable sole is a must! Might as well work out those gluts as you hit the town!
Joe Fresh- $39.99
2. Coat: As Nuit Blanche is set in the ever-unpredictable end-of-summer, beginning-of-fall season; a coat is a definate necessity. Go for one that’s light, but warm enough to keep you going through all those wee-hour exhibitions.
FCUK - $150.00
3. Bag: It is said that bigger is better, and when it comes to Nuit Blanche nothing could be more true! You never know what interesting finds you may pick up along the way… whether it be a business card, bottle of water, brochure, or a new friend, make sure there’s plenty of space to keep it all!
Anna Corrinna (from Augustina) - $650.00
4. Notebook: As a night filled with art can be very inspiring, we recommend bringing a cute, little notebook to log all those interesting thoughts. With all that wonderful energy floating around, ideas are impossible to avoid, after all, a creative mind must be nurtured.
Indigo - $12.99
5. Hat: Aside from helping to prevent those midnight chills, an interesting hat can work as a great conversation starter! With the city filled with eager and enthusiastic culture-seekers, people seem way more open and friendly and anything to draw attention your way is an asset. Besides, you never know whom you may meet.
H&M - $11.99
