Sweet Baby Jesus...

Oh My Goodness.
So i was on Refinery 29's site today and I almost cried when i saw Club Monaco's 2011 Spring collection.
I almost... almost want Fall to go away.
Gorgeous fabrics . Even better colours.
its Breath taking.
it sort of reminds me of Eat Pray Love. like the whole idea of empowering clothing for women.
All these looks just feel so international. as if they could be worn In India or Paris New York London or Bali.
                                

New York.

 

India

London

Bali

-Jersey

New tool.

So I was on the ELLE website and i found an amazing tool.
You can choose what season and collection you want to look up and then after you can look up any designer.

It is Gods Gift to us fashion following women.
I can literally search anything.... especially Chanel- my love.


What i'll say is this. If i Love Fall and winter.. cause i do and if i love Chanel... which i do , then you can only imagine how much i probably love this collection right... Right 


the most beautiful girl can be seen in the most beautiful thing here. 

Does this count ?

I'm not really sure as this counts as a post cause i'm planning on just rambling.
Blah blahblah.
Alright well lately i haven't been posting much cause well there's this awesome thing called post secondary. and well it's coming up.
and frankly i've got to get my Shit together or else the Russian is going to kill me.
So lately i've been gathering up a storm.
From bed spreads to duvets, dishes and kettles, pots and toiletries life has taken over.

I'm getting all of these things together but i feel unmotivated for school... why ? i don't know, cant really say. Might be because i'm shaking in my un-bought Doc Marten Boots.
I'm not scared of school or living on my own or not having the feeling of my family but i'm thinking i'm more scared of who i'll discover i truly am, and what i truly want to do.
What if we find out everything we ever thought and wanted was all wrong. 
sure it's motivational to say we pick up the pieces and move on but what happens if we discover we can't?Then what?


To be honest i don't know how school will end up but i hope it all works out.
I hope i'm as talented as i think i am and i hope everything isn't all sunshine and rainbows just so i can learn and become motivated. cause as of right now thats my biggest problem.. i'm lazy as fuck.

P.s: i fucked your Xlover.

Minimalist Views F/W 10'

Dear ............. ,

      So if you read magazines you would now that this coming season focus is minimalism. Blah colours and simple, elegant cuts. Camel, grey, beige, white, black , brown and splashes of Red. Mmm very yummy colours. All my favourite colours. Warm colours. they are my favourite  colours because they remind me of wrapping up in a patterned quilt. in a warm Lodge. One with a stone fireplace and bronze grate covering it. 

with a cherry oak coffee table with a big mug-bowl with Chai or Chamomile or Green or White Blueberry Pomegranate Tea. 

and a black cat lying on the top of the couch. An aged Chocolate brown couch with studded arm rests.  and   an ornate wrought iron decor hanging above the fireplace. 

Perfection.

Okay so anyways these colours are key for F/W 10' and frankly i could not be happier to see them on the runway this season. 

The following is a small very small... fucking tiny.. assortment of my favourite looks from some of my favorite designers.

   

Phillip Lim 3.1

  

Ann Demeulemeester

Lanvin 

(One of my favorites)

Perfection

Fall/ Winter is going to be a hell of a fun hopping season fuck can't wait .

daddy please can i borrow your credit card ...

Brigitte Bardot.

Brigitte Bardot was originally an aspiring ballet dancer however later on she pursued acting and "became world-famous due to her role in the controversial film And God Created Woman."

she was also incredible known due to her feminine style and beauty.

Long blonde hair & Sophia Loren curves "she's the poster child of a real woman."

     After her retirement she became an animal rights activist and vegetarian. she proves to want to make positive changes in the lives of animals however i suppose its difficult for the top world leaders (she requested a meeting with Stephen Harper to discuss seal hunting) to take an ex-actress/model/ singer seriously , however she has proven herself to be devoted to her cause and established The  Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the Welfare and Protection of Animals, even selling her own possessions and jewels to fund the project. if you ask me that's a a tough thing for a material girl to do.

However , like everyone , she has her flaws, [From Wikipedia ]  - she's made comparisons of her close gay friends to today's homosexuals who, "jiggle their bottoms, put their little fingers in the air and with their little castrato voices moan about what those ghastly heteros put them through" and that some contemporary homosexuals behave like "fairground freaks". In her own defence, Bardot wrote in a letter to a French gay magazine, saying, "Apart from my husband—who maybe will cross over one day as well—I am entirely surrounded by homos. For years, they have been my support, my friends, my adopted children, my confidants." Bardot's book was also against "the mixing of genes"; made attacks on modern art, which Bardot equated with "shit"; drew similarities between French politicians and weather vanes; and compared her own beliefs with previous generations who had "given their lives to push out invaders".

On 10 June 2004 Bardot was again convicted by a French court for "inciting racial hatred" and fined €5,000, the fourth such conviction/fine the French courts gave her. Bardot denied the racial hatred charge and apologized in court, saying: "I never knowingly wanted to hurt anybody. It is not in my character."

In 2008, she was once more convicted of inciting racial/religious hatred in relation to a letter she wrote, a copy of which she sent to Nicolas Sarkozy when he was Interior Minister of France. The letter stated her objections to Muslims in France ritually slaughtering sheep by slitting their throats without anesthetizing them first but also express that she was "fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its habits" in reference to Muslims. The trial concluded on 3 June 2008, with a conviction and fine of 15,000 Euros, the largest of her fines to date. The prosecutor stated that she was tired of charging Bardot with offences related to racial hatred.

She's a Gem.

Love her hair 

god i'm brutal .. don't help me.

Just a floating thought. not much development. a thing that "POPS" in and pops out

Okay so recently i've been looking over things .. searching , digging spreading .. just a general rule that i've been curious. curious about things such as well.. everything. looking over websites and blogs & more blogs and picture sites, i've come across alot and well a theme that seems to keep popping up are eating disorders.

what is an eating disorder?

well.. according to my dictionary it is : any of a range of psychological disorders characterized by abnormal or disturbed eating habits (such as anorexia nervosa).

so pretty much you think things that change the way you eat.

that doesn't just mean anorexia, bulimia, trans-eating.. it means dieting too. 

no it doesn't mean your completely psychologically twisted and that you need immediate help.

all that it means is that people should start embracing their bodies.

if you were born a size 8 and your mom was a size 10 ... chances are you'll never be a size two and if you ever are then you've probably done severe damage to your body. 

Note to self : bones that stick out .. they aren't hot - you might want to re-consider.

here's the thing right.. everyone has their own definition of beauty whether it be skinny or fat light; or dark; short or tall. it doesn't matter because what one person characterizes as not being beautiful another might. its personal preference.

so while , for the moment, the majority of those models on the runway are skinny don't sweat it because i bet a good 85 % of the people watching the show aren't the same size and might not even think that its beautiful to look like a starving third world country child. therefore don't sweat it a revolution is on the horizon. one where is skin and bones is out and healthy is the new black.

Forever21 Uses Funhouse Mirrors To Make Customers Think They're Hotter Than They Are

It's no secret that Forever21 can be a bit of a circus—with all of the under-$20 steals, you're competing with pushing hoards also vying for bargain buys. But it seems like they're running another kind of circus too. Turns out, as Budget Fashionista found out, the cheap-clothes mega-store tactically tilts its mirrors to make you look slimmer, and installs warm, amber-hued lighting in dressing rooms that smooths skin surfaces and gives you an irresistible need-this-dress-now glow. If not for Forever21's bogus return policy (i.e. practically none&mdashthey only offer in-store credit), we wouldn't be too concerned with their foolery. But in this case, we're suggesting that this might be one time you should bring a friend along to offer a real-life opinion. Otherwise, once you leave the store, you may be pissed that you're stuck with your new dud...well, forever.

ahahah the truest article i've ever read!

Back To School : Lingerie

 Agent 050

            Alright so this thought popped into my head today.. College or University one thing comes to mind.... something we all think of ... sex.

And let's face it the worst thing is being caught in ugly underwear in the midst of a sultry steamy moment.The cure.Be Smart.When you buy lingerie buy in sets . Or Buy things that you know you'll be able to match with things you already have. What i always find easiest is Black.

BlackBlackBlackBlackBlack.

Want me to say it one more time.

Black

Never be caught in anything else.

It's the most perfect colour. Gods Gift.

Below are a few options i chose: cute, not too risque.

Nothing but the Best from Agent Provocateur.

    

Feel Good Mantra

Yesterday i read an entire magazine.

Usually, like everybody else, i'll skim through the magazine i'm reading, only stopping at certain pages. 

However i picked up a copy of Women's Health Magazine , the issue with Ashley Green on the cover.

Best decision I've ever made.

It's such a great read.

I learned tons of great shit that may prove to be very useful. 

Pick it up you won't regret it.

But what i'm trying to get to is this. 

Reading this magazine made me feel good. I know it sounds weird but it really is a feel good magazine.

From this magazine came this new idea... a  sort of feel good Mantra.

A mantra is :" a word or sound repeated to aid concentration in meditation."

It's something you do to calm yourself or make yourself feel better.

That's the idea or the pain point i'm taking away form Mantra, not the repetition of word but the idea of doing something to make ourselves/yourself feel better.

Well I have begun my "Feel Good Mantra"

I'm doing small things everyday that normally i wouldn't do to make me feel better.

In a way it reminds me of the Lululemon bag.

Things like

Putting on Lotion

Wearing a new accessory

Doing Yoga

Running further than normal

Reading a book

Taking a hot bath

Trying something new

Doing something I don't like doing but knowing it's good for me

etc..

Stuff like this makes us feel good, it's weird but we might not not normally do these things and so when we do it feels like we've accomplished something . it's weird - but in a good way.

☺

Note: i tried doing Yoga on my own and i love it !

Back To School : Shoes

Fall Winter 10' : Footwear.

As I previously posted the Fall Winter 10' Trends there are also standard popular footwear for the upcoming season. They are as follows. 

Converse - The Classic Sneaker

Simple and comfortable they're a perfect walking shoe. They're a perfect sneaker without giving you the running shoe look.  whats even better is they come in every possible colour combination. On the website they even have a tool which allows you too crete your perfect converse. There really is a shoe for everyone.

Converse: Chuck Taylor All Stars $45.00 

Birkenstocks - The German Wonder

The shoe known as the Jesus sandal or the Mom sandal, the shoe that is just so comfortable that you cant help yourself. Birkenstocks may not be "in-style" but it's the shoe that is never not popular. Once you buy your first pair and wear them to ruins you need a second pair. Worn with wool socks or bare footed they are gold. However , note: Never wear them with white socks its not cute.

Birkenstock: Women's Arizona Brown $89.99  

Rubber Boots - Stylish and Practical

I have not seen anyone wear rubber boots for what seems like the longest time. They just seem like the Shoe that i want to make a comeback. I'm pulling for you Wellies. And the great thing about them is that they are so basic that you can get them in any print and any colour. whether it be Chinese Laundry Leopard print or Black C Print Coach  you can get them in the colour to suit your style and your personality.

Coach: Pixy Boots Black White Multi $108.00 

Sorel Winter Boots - The Original

I find that winter boots are always the hardest to shop for. you always want boots that look stylish but keep your feet warm. When your young your mom always insists on the ugliest boots she can find. Well  these Sorel are great. They are comfy warm and the spitting image of snow bunny, but not the trashy kind.

Sorel : Women's Caribou $110.00   

Back To School : Shoes.

Winter-Fall 10' Trend Forecasting

Uggs - The Australian Surf Boot.
Uggs will still be popular however i hate Uggs.
The only way i really like Uggs is if you're climbing a mountain or if you wear them with distressed light wash-medium wash boyfriend jeans. Wear them if you must but only some people can pull them off.
Uggs Women's Classic Short $140.00 US 



Doc Martens - The Classic Boot.
As we saw last season the Leather Jacket became the "Must- Have jacket" . The leather -bad girl image was increasingly popular and everyone wanted the good girl gone bad rep. this coming season we'll see the Doc marten boot making a comeback  it'll be the cherry on top of the bad girl sundae, it'll be what finishes off the look or if worn properly sends it over the top.
Doc Martens 1460 Women's $115.00


Walking Heels- Ballroom Wonder.
For fashionista's out there who wouldn't be caught dead in anything but heels the Ballroom Heel is for you. Wearing heels destroys your feet and sure enough leaves you with blisters but hot-as-hell calves. You need a heel that you can wear everyday that can take you from day to night , look good and give you the support you need. well then this shoe is for you.
Kimchi Blue Wingtip Heel $48.00 





The Moccasin -  Friendly Fringe
A friendly alternative to the Doc marten takes a look to grungy hipster with a bohemian edge. Can be worn with flirty dresses, skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans,sweat pants or leggings. The give any outfit a relaxed feel. And best is they can be worn from girlie to rocker and they won't give you blisters.
Minnetonka Moccasins: Women's Hi Top Back Zip Boot $112.00 

Note: All Noted shoe styles can be worn with socks.

*These are my predictions for Fall Winter 2010 POst-Secondary Styles.

Born near Paris in 1943 to a modest family, he spent his childhood in Le Havre with his mother and four brothers. For his seventeenth birthday, his stepfather brought him his first Eastman Kodak camera. Demarchelier learned how to develop film, retouch negatives and began shooting friends and weddings.

In 1975, he left Paris for New York to follow his girlfriend. He discovered fashion photography by working as a freelance photographer and learning and working with photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Terry King, and Jacque Guilbert. His work drew the attention of famous clientele.

He later worked for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, first in September 1992 which resulted in a 12-year collaboration. 

Demarchelier has lived in New York City since 1975. He is married to Mia and they have twins. Since the late 1970s he has shot the covers for nearly every major fashion magazine.

It's amazing isn't it

Carrie Bradshaw once said: "Hello Lover".

the only thing was , she wasn't talking to a man or a woman , a child or an adult, or even a living breathing creature.

She was talking to her Shoes.

Ages and ages pass and Shoes have always had an extremely important part of fashion. 

Marilyn Monroe once said: " I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot."

Shoes are vital to how we look and who we become.

They are truly works of architecture.

I have found gorgeous and hilarious pieces of architecture that need be shared.

Born in 1965 , Richardson is a noted American photographer.

He was born in NewYorkCity and was raised in Hollywood, California.

His photography is Raw Sexual and gives off an Amateur feel however it is anything but amateur.

he has a way of digging to the deepest essence of the subject and bringing it through in his shots.

However although he is an amazing Photographer he is considered a sort of Predator

He's shot for

Gucci

Levi's

Hugo Boss

Anna Molinari

Baby Phat

Matsuda

Vogue

Harpers Bazaar

etc...

Instances include
"an anonymous model alleged that "he had me go down on him and took pictures of him coming on my face, which I had never done before, and when I went to the bathroom to clean up I could hear him and an assistant joking about it which is when I decided to never tell anyone."


"A stylist allegedly quit "because of having to watch him sexually harassing/abusing two (naked) teenage Eastern European models who didn't speak English"


"model Jamie Peck, who posed for Richardson at 19, said that while she was prepared to be photographed nude, she wasn't expecting Richardson to get naked with her. She alleges that he also interrupted their shoot to 'strongly suggest' she touch him sexually."
