Blue Tuxedo

Lately I've noticed one particular colour begin to creep into my wardrobe... and my surroundings in general. It all started with painting my room a light grey-blue many months ago. Since then I've acquired quite a few items in a similar shade. It's probably the only colour that I can wear head to knees (still lacking tights and shoes). It's not quite a blue tuxedo, since I'm not pairing it with a denim bottom, but it feels like it's in the same vein.

Below I'm wearing a thrifted denim jacket, Joe Fresh Style tee, and inside-out thrifted skirt (I had the length shortened a bit). I quite like the slightly deconstructed look caused by the zipper poking out. Notice that I'm covering the labels with my hand. I haven't taken them off yet. Where is that seam ripper?





I've also finally made a Twitter account. I'm currently trying to figure out how to link it to my phone. In case you're wondering what's on my mind at other times of the day, you can check it out here.

Freedom Ritual

(spot the "praying"/looks like i'm about to sneeze picture..hahahahahahha!)
H&M short, thrifted lace top, HK fringed sandals, DIY turban (do you want one? email me!)

So I survived FINALS! One month of doing practically nothing
until its time for graduation and what lies ahead though is even scarier...the future.
But before that, I promise I'm going to have the best summer yet!

Things that I MUST do before I enter the "real" world:

- hang out with all my friends ALL the time before we go on our own separate ways :(
- finally finish fixing/redecorating my room
- throw out/burn all the papers, tests, notebooks,books
- clean out and organize my CLOSET
- sleep in
- go to the beach!!!
- go on a trip (Hi Mom! *hint* New York/Paris)
- oh and...find a job!

Ruffle Drama

I'm loving the neck ruffles appearing on a few runways in Milan. It's a look that I secretly try on in my room but never dare wear outside. Well, at least not on campus. I like dressing randomly if I'm out downtown though.

On another note, I've tried experimenting with shoulder pads in my sweaters but I can't get that sleek sharp look (see above) I've been seeing everywhere lately. I just end up with a frumpy lumpy mess. Any ideas?

Melt Away, Winter Cold

Last night I tried to style an outfit around this pretty floral jacket I thrifted at Value Village a couple of months ago and then never wore. I had fun following my boyfriend's silly posing orders. The one shown here was a result of "pretend you're a melting clock!" Probably inspired by the Dali print in the background. Even though it isn't The Persistence of Memory... That ironing board is a hideous relic from the 90s, but Kevin insisted I take photos with it. Oh well, the 90s are having a comeback right?




The weather has decided to be especially cruel last night and this morning, with a short bout of snow and cold winds after what has been a relatively nice couple of weeks. That means that, for the meantime at least, my hopes of breaking out some lighter fabrics have been dashed again. Today I went off to school wearing my Topshop jodhpurs and two layers of sweaters. I did try to brighten things up by mixing lime green and lemon yellow though! I haven't really been posting many of my school outfits on the blog since, to be honest, they're dreadfully boring and super casual.

I'm ready for summer to come now. Please?

Waiting...

Hey guys! Just another quickie post today. I'm on campus waiting to commence exam #4... This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago by my boy Kevin. Check out his flickr! He likes comments. ...My bangs really need to start growing out faster. They're always in my face these days! It doesn't look so great.

I'm hoping to shoot a few outfit photos when I get home today. I ordered a cool pair of tie-dye style leggings from Forever 21 and I've been experimenting with them. They look particularly interesting with lace tights layered on top.

Oh and PS: Here is a photo that Kevin took during his workshop with photographer Bruce Gilden in New York. They ran into Bill Cunningham! Who I think is one of the very few remaining photographers still shooting on film in fashion. I'd like to see New York one day... soon...

Inspired by - Vilsbol de Arce

Just a quickie post for today. I have a Human Resources midterm coming up in the evening. I feel more confident tackling Finance to be honest, I'm just not good with memorizing millions of facts and lists.

Anyways, here's a little photo from Danish label Vilsbol de Arce. I loved looking through the high quality video of their Woven Armour collection, featuring complicated knotted busts and padded shoulders abound! Go check it out.

The 2 Dollar Dress

Yesterday while shopping for ribbons at Dressew I checked out the scrap fabric section and decided to fashion myself a wrap dress out of a slinky green fabric. I added a black belt and coral tassels (also from Dressew) and it was ready to wear! For 2 bucks, this is recession shopping at its finest, I think. Looks like I'll have quite a few scarf/scrap fabric dresses to wear this summer.

I'm now waiting for my grandmother to finish adjusting two skirts for me. Can't wait to try them out!

Dream Catchers, Sequins, Glow-Sticks... Must be London Fashion Week!

I thought the shows at New York were pretty good overall to be honest. I never suspected that I was somehow subconsciously bored... Until my eyes literally burst as the London collections started rolling out. Burst in the best possibly sense, of course. Maybe it's because I just came fresh out of Dressew (the fabric store) again, maybe it's because I had a Tim Horton's iced cap and the measly little amount of caffeine in said drink was already making my hands quiver, but I really, really loved what I was seeing.





Topshop Unique... where do I begin? It's not sophisticated, it's not austere, it doesn't hold anything back, and it's just what I wanted to see. I love squiggly neon stripes zigzagging down leggings and dresses, the multitude of sequins, the thick fringe scarves and jackets, thigh-high boots (Rodarte or Topshop?)... It's a million diy projects just waiting to happen. I guess those who are already sick of nu-rave might be cringing, but you have to appreciate a collection so in-your-face it's unforgettable.




The contact-lenses the models sported at Ann-Sofie Back kind of spooked me, I admit. I didn't notice them until one particular model with bigger eyes came up and... a little yelp ensued. But moving on to the clothes, I rather like the ying-yang closure on the last coat, as well as the shredded sweater and dress. I once made a dream catcher in elementary school. I wonder if I could incorporate that into clothing somehow.



Basso and Brooke never cease to impress with their amazing patterns. I love the Baroque inspired motifs throughout the collection. Sometimes a great pattern almost eliminates the need for innovative cuts and other details. I'd love to wear one of these works of art just as they are.



I quite liked the sweater dresses at Armand Basi. He has inspired a DIY studding project. And these creeper-style shoes are everywhere now! All over the blogosphere, all over the runways. Looks like I caught on pretty late actually. A good practical trend, in my opinion.



A great new silhouette debuted at John Rocha. The pants are very voluminous and bottom-heavy but I kind of like them. It feels a bit Japanese, like it could have been on a Limi Feu catwalk as well.

Phew! This was quite a long post by my standards. I'm more of the one-photo "Look at this! Isn't it pretty?" kind of blogger. Maybe it's the caffeine. I hope it was inspiring!

Welcome to the Jungle

First of all, oh noes! Rumi just bought a pair of my favourite Aldo wedges! That means there is no chance of this style not becoming ubiquitous by summer's end, since she just makes them look too good damn it! I guess I'll just have to go crazy with ribbons, and other bits and bobs lest I start to tire of seeing other bloggers sport the same shoes... I was actually kind of expecting this style to be popular though. Just wishful thinking.

Ok, now that my rather high-school rant is over with, I spent an inordinate amount of time yesterday afternoon seeing what I could pull of with my new shoes. I wore this outfit to see a small gallery opening last night. Sadly I didn't bring the snake with me. His name is George, and he spends much his days sprawled across the couch.





The dress is thrifted (I pinned it all up myself though), the yellow tights are from We Love Colors, the black tights on top were purchased in Romania, the shoes are from Aldo, and George is from Ikea (in case you were wondering).
