I Like My Beats Loud, And My Bass Down Low.

American Apparel dress, Aritzia sweater, Hue tights, Forever XXI necklace.

I think this is an outfit very befitting of a Canadian girl in the midst of winter. The only clothing craving I have experienced this winter was for a warm, thick, knitted sweater - the kind that you imagine wearing at the cabin, sitting by the fire and drinking hot cocoa. (This sweater totally fulfilled that longing.)

I love buying something and being completely obsessed with it - for me, this is always the mark of a good purchase. Nothing frees me from the guilt of buying an expensive item more than getting a ridiculous amount of use out of that piece - at least it was money well spent, right?

I'm going to use 2011 to completely overhaul my closet. It's full of cheap shit that I don't even like - getting dressed in the morning is a pain in the ass. I'm getting to the point in my life where I'd much rather have a closet a third of the size of my current closet, filled with well made things that I love, than my current closet (filled with shit that I'm rather apathetic towards.) Anyone else feel that way?

The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! For this post I decided to try something different - instead of photos, the outfit I wore Christmas Day will be shown in the video below. Enjoy!

Vero Moda dress, Kensie overcoat, Hue tights, Jeffrey Campbell "Pixie" wedges.

I know, my wedges are super dirty! Note to self: always clean shoes before shooting in HD...

For The Love of Karl

American Eagle shirt, American Apparel skirt, Hue tights, Asos "Claw" ring, "Karl" tank from Kensington Market, Cross Ring & Ear Cuff from eBay.

Super quick post before I run off to Lab. It's the last day of class this semester -- I'm super excited for exams to be over and for next semester to begin. I should probably be excited for Christmas, but if we're really being honest: I don't give a shit. I'm just happy I can listen to "Carol of the Bells" without being teased.

Also, the ear cuff above is my favourite new addition to my jewelry collection. Got it three days ago and I think this might be true love.

All Black Everything (Again)

Urban Outfitters tunic, Costa Blanca shorts, Hue tights, Forever 21 earrings, thrifted leather belt, ring & necklace from flea market.

Getting details shots on Photobooth is kind a of a bitch. Sorry for the rather alarming last shot, lol.

Another all black look - I'm trying not to bore you guys but all black is just so easy. This outfit definitely got me a few "WTF is she wearing?" stares today, which is strange because everything I wore today was pretty standard Uni wear - although maybe not in the way I wore it. This UO tunic is too short be worn on its own (or even with leggings, in my opinion... I've tried) so I chose to add black shorts under it to make a it little less scandalous. To be honest, it's actually more clear in the pictures than in real life that I'm wearing shorts. Short version of this story: people were confused. I was most certainly asked if I was wearing a skort.

But back to all black everything - it's awesome. I have a friend who dresses only in monochrome. A look at her closet:

I'm seriously jealous. Imagine how easy it would be to get dressed in the morning? Every time I look at her closet, I seriously consider converting... but one look in my closet at all the clothing I love (ranging over every colour of the rainbow) is enough to change my mind back.


P.S. If you want to know what shoes I'm wearing, just imagine the above outfit with these boots. I wear them almost everyday - so worth the money.

The Quiet Scares Me 'Cause It Screams The Truth.

A couple outfits from the past few days:

American Apparel dress, H&M necklace, Ardene's cardigan, Hue tights.

Forever 21 rings, Garage dress, American Apparel lace bodysuit.

So really shitty news: my camera no longer works, and I am too poor to buy a new one. Which leaves me at a loss for how to keep this blog going. For now, I'm just going to take outfit pictures on Photobooth until I can find a better solution.

I know everything that could possibly be said about the H&M x Lanvin collection has been said, so I'll keep this short. I was one of those bloggers who were jizzing their pants over the prospect of this collection - but on the models, the collection was rather underwhelming. After going and looking at the collection online however, I'm particularly loving the yellow one-shouldered dress and cream skirt pictured above. Although seeing as how I won't even be in Toronto when the collection debuts there is a fat chance of me ever getting my hands either.

The Grey Before The Storm

I feel like I haven't posted in forever. Between Thanksgiving, being sick, school kicking my ass and actually having a social life I feel like I've barely had time to breathe over the last two weeks.

Zara jacket, Stitches dress, Forever 21 necklace, Hue tights, Frye boots.

All grey outfits are my favourite. Wore this first look later in the afternoon to lunch with a friend and for other errands which included replacing a lost driver's license (annoying) and getting a new Blackberry! (Awesome.) I got the dress above for 5 dollars at an outlet, and I'm in love... so obviously I had to buy it in black too. Also, I'm wearing the Frye boots from this post. I've actually worn them every day since I bought them two weeks ago - I'm definitely getting my money's worth.

Lola's Room blazer, Forever 21 blouse, tie stolen from my Dad.

I wore this second look earlier in the day to classes for International Suit Up Day - an event inspired by "How I Met Your Mother", a show which I never actually watched. To be honest, I just liked the idea of wearing a tie (although it kind of made me feel like Avril Lavigne circa 2002.)


P.S. I'd like to state that I'm quite proud of myself for keeping it classy and monochromatic the entire day, even right down to the nail polish.

It Takes A Muscle To Fall In Love

Everyone has that outfit that they fall back on when they're too lazy to put something together or don't have the time - for me, it's this American Apparel dress. I have it in both green and black (which is kind of embarassing.) It's comfortable, warm (key for Canadian winters) and simple - perfect for a student who occasionally wakes up only 20 minutes before her 8.30 morning class. But today I wanted to dress it up a bit, do a little something different.

American Apparel dress, Ardene's belt, Forever 21 necklace and scarf, Hue tights, H&M bracelets and vintage cowboy boots.

I'll consider this outfit an exercise in pattern and texture. I love that it's a combination of items which I wouldn't normally put together - but somehow it works. Definitely the most boho outfit I've worn in a while.

I Change Shapes Just To Hide In This Place, But I'm Still An Animal

Wore this out clubbing this weekend with my friends:

Vero Moda Dress. Forever XXI belt. Hue tights. Earrings & Bracelet from local boutique.

In the pictures, I had pinned this dress up to make more of a "bubble" hem. Short? A little. But I wanted to be all Fearless!Fashion. But by the time I was at the club, actively dancing... I had to take those pins out. A short hem when you're dancing on top of speakers is a bit of a different story.

Outfit [2010.02.09]

American Apparel Dress. Bluenotes Hat. Hue tights. Aldo boots. Earrings from local boutique.

This dress is one of my favourites. Incredibly comfy & cute. Love it so much that I own not just one, but two.
