Renegade.

These are photos of Beth Ditto from BlackBook magazine.
I've been reading about her lately, and her
unapologetic confidence is really refreshing. I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I get hung up on the fact that I don't really fit into the "mold" of beauty. As much as it may be trivial, some days I just feel like nothing looks good and like there is no hope in looking alright. Usually, I get over it and realize how silly I'm being....But it is surprising how many girls feel like this, even other bloggers despite being gorgeous women who inspire others everyday. There needs to be a change, and bloggers gaining recognition in the fashion world is just one step. "Normal" (read: Not 5'11, 120lbs) girls are now being regarded as just as stylish as a celebrity with infinite resources. The future is hopeful...

P.S. A CNN article on the power of bloggers. Intriguing...

Sorry.

I apologize a thousand times over for the lack of outfit posts lately!
I've been really busy actually going places now that I'm done my exams...
places like the beach and Vancouver!
I've taken pictures, now it's just a matter of getting them all up.
I've also done more shopping for the store...
and despite it being a month (I'm v. sorry it's taken this long!)
an update will for sure be happening this week.
Cardigans, cutoffs, printed dresses, and a kick ass leather bomber jacket
are all in store. Keep your eyes peeled.

Furry.

Fashion Toast.

Wow.

Frills and fantasy.

Erin Fetherston FW09

As you can see, I've been going through the FW09
collections. This one is one of my favourites.
For this collection, Erin blended fantasy with girly, sweet reality.
No doubt this will be a constant inspiration in the months to come.

I'm good, I'm gone!??!?!

After finally getting Lykke Li's CD from the library yesterday
and pretty much listening to it non-stop
I was both surprised and annoyed by this.
WHY?!?!?!
As someone said, this is "Adultz Bop"

My (new) love.

Also purchased before the shopping ban...
this leather bag only set me back a dollar!
Expect to see a lot of it this summer.

Breathtaking.

Tim Walker is a genius.
gorgeous, gorgeous photos.

C. Ronson.

I always love Charlotte Ronson's designs. She might not be the most innovative or "chicest" designer, but she always makes easy to wear clothes that are stylish, unique, youthful, and comfortable. Her FW09 collection is no exception. The prints, sheer seamed tights and grungey plaids will no doubt be an inspiration come fall....
