Street this







I would normally feel badly for partaking in paparazzi pictures of celebrities who for the most part show no indication of wanting the attention, but I find that celebrities usually look their most interesting like this. I am a sucker for a good jeans outfit, reasonable shoes, and large bags! I would never endorse dangerous or intrusive pap-behaviour, BUT I assume that if I wouldn't be annoyed if someone thought I looked so cute getting coffee they had to capture it in photos, then they shouldn't mind either.

Happy Weekend!!!

an evening dress perhaps?







with the advent of Christmas party season approaching at a swirling pace, I thought I would post some gorgeous gowns to get people inspired. I already know what I am getting, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to look!

monday inspirations

monday morning everyone! after a weekend of ignoring everyone and everything (oh and pining over a leather jacket), monday is here and so far it is winning. as an attempt to squeeze some joy into the beginning of the week I scoured over the instyle look of the day blog and managed to find some cute outfits for inspiration throughout the week. Enjoy!

sunday style sightings

I recently found a cool street style blog. a lot of the pictures are a little loud or structural for my liking, but every now and then I hit gold. the first pic is my fav!

scroll over to Style Sightings to see the blog for yourself! (all pics are from here.)

pandora's leather

thank you altamira for leading me to the Pandora blog. as my previous post lead you to believe I am dying for a leather cropped jacket and these pictures posted by Louise certainly are not helping.





I am also using these pics as motivation to keep growing my hair out. I want a single braid. I want cute bangs.

rachel roy invades my sick day

so what do you do when you are sick, don't want to infect others, and cancel all your daily appointments? shop online of course. instead of buying I simply concocted stories for you about how I would wear each garment. jump on over to rachel roy's website to see the collection for yourself.



so as my blog followers know, I love patterns and own none of them myself. I can see this dress being worn to a summer social, an all night dance party, or dressed up with opaque tights and a cardigan for a day at the office. I would pair it with some sexy black ankle boots, and wear a cropped pea-coat jacket in a solid colour. either way, it is adorable.



this dress screams new years eve to me. I have a strong dislike for glitter (I blame my mother's undiscriminating use of it) but I do appreciate shine. It also reminds me that I need to get some new year's plans. I would pair it with my hot pink tights from grade 12 or my floor length black tights. I think patent leather would be an appropriate shoe.




both these dresses are called "the 24 hour dress" and I just couldn't decide on the print. I like it with a cute peep toe or even flats to make it a more day look. Sushi would be an appropriate outing or perhaps hanging at a lounge Billabong perhaps?) with your girlfriends.



mmmm cropped leather jacket. lately I have been dying for some good coats. I think cropped is so hot right now and leather jackets are always investment pieces. vintage leather bomber jackets have also been on my radar. this coat would be the perfect finishing touch to any of the above mentioned outfits or just to wear over my no pattern basic wardrobe now. jackets like this really let the accessories speak for you. my pink leaf ears would set off the bad ass tones of leather so well! I think a cropped or leather (or both!) jacket just found it's way to my Christmas list, oh my!

may you all avoid what I have and if you can't, may your chicken noodle soup be warm, your crackers stay crunchy in it, and your husband not miss with the ear drop application. ;)

Really, any tree picture is my lover.


Collocation No. 14 (NATURE) Left Panel: by Mickey Smith

Combining my love of old books with my love of photography. Genius. I picture this as a smaller print sitting on my bookshelf. Perhaps acting like the gateway to my secret passage.

Does anyone think I could pull this off as Jeff's birthday present without him thinking it is secretly for me?
