look
I haven’t been posting much lately… I am in the midst of getting my new apartment in order. It’s mostly unpacked, but there are still boxes and boxes and boxes of books stacked about. And the walls are a little bare…

moonrise kingdom
the trailer is all over the internet, and I know it’s super Wes Anderson over-kill (but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it). I just love his aesthetic…

spring wishes: topshop
It’s still so warm here in Toronto that thinking about spring dressing doesn’t seem so bizarre… it’s actually raining right now (joy). I’ve been scouring the internet for vibrant clothing, tangerine and aqua are everywhere and florals are patterning everything. Maybe it won’t be so long until I can wear these…

I talked about her sister, so now it’s time to give her some spotlight… plus this Elle UK editorial is beautifully shot, so why not indulge.

grunge/glamour
Will the 90s ever die!?!?!? I’m still waiting for Urban Outfitters to stop selling flannel. Still wondering when Doc Martens will fall onto the “not” side of the equation. Still hoping teenagers will grow out of their emo hair and pull out their eyebrow rings and stop listening to Kurt Cobain.
Still though, it stays, and it’s not so bad. The grunge thing can work when...

I need new glasses… so many of the frames are so boring… these are the only ones I’ve found so far that I like. I think I’m leaning towards tortoiseshell.

White Christmas
anyone else feeling the boxing day let down? sooo much build up and then it’s all over… at least there are other things to look forward to, but in the meantime, I’m letting the spirit live on for one more day in the styling of White Christmas (1954). The outfits and dresses are amazing… makes me feel like I should wear more vintage.

Wildfox Couture Spring 2012
Even cowgirls get the blues….
I know I know, SPRING. It is so very far away. Still though, this shoot is too good not to post about. Who doesn’t love a little wild west mixed with the usual Wildfox schtick? Girls Girls Girls… hanging all over each other, drinking moonshine, laying around melancholia-style in piles, lounging about in lingerie, looking off into the distance,...

DANNIJO
Danielle and Jodi Snyder started DANNIJO in 2008 and now cater to a celebrity clientele. They have been profiled on The Coveteur, they have their own Tumblr, and they are being talked about all over the web (like here on Portfolio.com). Their jewelry is affordable, fun, and big. If you really want to make a statement try a bib necklace or a giant cocktail ring… perfect for holiday parties or...

forever 21
I’ve always had mixed feelings about forever 21, the clothing is just so cheap… a lot of the fabrics are awful, and most of the designs are either super-generic or trashy, but sometimes, once in a while (if you look really hard) you can find a couple treasures. It’s almost like shopping in a thrift store, it’s all about sifting through the trash to find unexpected gems....

10 days 'til christmas!
It’s getting so close! The time is flying by… I just finished my last exam, now I have one more assignment, then done (at least for this semester). I can’t wait! I have to choose my courses for next semester though, I think I want to do a marketing course. Here’s some Christmassy snaps from the last month, and here’s the recipe I used for my cookies.

family christmas photos
I made gingerbread men and a gingerbread house yesterday! The house wasn’t sturdy enough for its roof, so we made it a post hurricane home… there’s even a dead gingerbread man. I am so full of sugar… cookies for dinner, cookies for breakfast… I need to eat some vegetables. Soon. Below, another reason to love Christmas, awkward family photos!

15 days until christmas!
Making a gingerbread house and gingerbread men tomorrow! I need to get supplies… dough ingredients, icing, CANDY… sooo excited! I haven’t made gingerbread men since I was a kid and I’ve never attempted a house. I can’t believe Christmas is so close… just one more gift to buy!

romersk sleepwear
I just discovered this amazing sleepwear brand from Australia… I love the little shorts, but mostly just the styling with the masks… also, I am super jealous that they are having Summer right now.

sandra templeton
Big Fish is a Tim Burton film that came out in 2003. It’s a simple and cute film which is best know for it’s art direction… the sets, the costumes, these are reason enough to watch this film… mostly though, I just wish I could be Sandra Templeton (played by Alison Lohman). Has a man every made you a field full of daffodils? No? Do you get to dress like it’s 1940 all...
