Good Luck Now

What a weekend. I should probably be frantically studying for midterms, but the sense of urgency really hasn't caught up with me yet. But that didn't stop me from holing up in the library all afternoon with my Women's Studies textbook and my brain, watching PJ Harvey videos and occasionally contemplating why these grey Cheap Monday jeans are the same size but not nearly as tight as my other pair.


Later that night I hoofed it to the Starlight club to make up for all that studying and see a Geoff Berner w/ Forest City Lovers show, which was excellent. It was the kind of intimate show where the bands talk between the songs just as much as they play music. Geoff Berner is a mad genius and afterwords I stole a poster.

Silver Sequins

Garbage Dress is one of my new favourite blogs that you must go read immediately. And on a semi-related note involving silver sequins - I never thought I'd ever be saying this, but Alice Cooper is really well dressed (at least in this video). He may be a creepy Republican, but those shiny pants are seriously covetable.

I think I have a girl crush on Diva and Lola Dompe. They're these wacky, creative sisters from LA whose dad was in Bahaus and they make up the band Black Black. Urban Outfitters and the Selby both did features on them and which I strongly urge you to check out, as I am so visually inspired by this creative work space/home/live life in costume thing they've got going on.

Everything'll be alright.

Wearing Cheap Monday jeans is a lot like squeezing your legs into denim tubes roughly the size of cannelloni. Not to mention, my posture leaves something to be desired.


That happy skull is mocking me...

We're Only Gonna Die

I'm really glad I work (er, 'intern') in very casual place, where nobody looks at me weird for wearing newspaper skirts, latex leggings and a piece of fabric twice the size of my body that I paid way too much money for.

One of my core environmental problem solving courses this semester is all about bottled water and we had a guest lecture by corporate representatives from Nestle and the Canadian Bottled Water Association. Though it didn't really change my overall negative opinion on bottled water itself, it was nice to see 'both sides of the story'. I don't know why I just told you that.

Oh hi there Teen Vogue, did you know you're the only magazine I buy because its affordable and you can get it at the grocery store? Oh wait, I'm featured on your website? No way!!! But in all seriousness, I love how Teen Vogue appreciates blogs/gives them a crapload of recognition. I am ridiculously flattered to be featured in their slideshow accompanying an article on young fashion bloggers among the likes of Rumi, Susie and Tavi. I feel like screaming, so hopefully the excessive use of exclamation marks will convey my utter excitement in a non verbal way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nimrod's Son

I finally found the perfect drape-y sweater that I have been coveting since last October. I wish it had sleeves, but beggars can't be choosers - it was only $20. One friend commented on me looking like a Medieval page.


This is what comes up whan you Google Image search 'Medieval Page'. Somehow I doubt the authenticity of this photograph...

On a more random note, I'm rather enamoured with these weird photographs by Chema Madoz.
