I (and by I, I mean my dad) took my computer apart and then put it back together again to figure out why it was going so UNBELIEVABLY slowly again, and not loading certain pages (coughgooglecough), and found nothing wrong.  But it's starting to chug along again.Yes, I still can't open google reader which means it has probably exploded with the number of blogs I haven't checked yet, but everything

MAKE UP YOUR MIND"What does Margiela's coat mean? What is its significance in early twenty-first century fashion? It functions on the same level as that other Belgian Surrealist, Rene Magritte, who in 1928 created "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" - a painting of a pipe that denied it was a pipe. As an image of a pipe, the paradoxical inscription was true and in the same way, Margiela's "Wig-Coat"

I love those white shoes.  Here's one of MARINA'S IDEAS FOR DRESSING:  wear all black and one colour in one place (I.E, all black and bright orange lipstick, or al black and white shoes, etc); see what happens.Maybe you'll end up in a desert too.

I've been working and reworking the banner and the layout of this blog, only to return to its original format about four times. I almost wish I had a paid account on blogger so I could put up a very fancy "We Will Return After Visual Maintenance" banner while I work at it. I'm still not entirely done. Blogger is very limited, but this is generally what it will be. The image is a photograph I

The gist of what I wore to just walk around yesterday.  It was beautiful outside, the sun was shining, wasn't ridiculously cold out, so I just walked around all day.  I also found those silver Yohji Yamamoto DMs again, for half the price (still out of my range though, resolution and all)This is execution #1 of that shirt I made awhile ago.  I think the size I bought was a little too oversized.  I

The red dress I saw a few days ago at Fawn is also on sale at Holt Renfrew.  I was parusing a few sale racks and while in the change room trying on a magnificent leather jacket (original price was approximately $1200 yet I see no difference in fit or feel to others I've tried on, expensive and inexpensive) I spotted it on the rail people leave the clothes they don't want on.  I immediately ran

I tried on a vest today that is $300 out of my price range and now I can't remember who the designer was.  I don't feel like I can go back to the store, because if I do I'll buy it (I know myself too well - I have very little self-control), which may not be a bad thing (you see?).It was a shirt actually.  This beautifully draped, pinned and tucked in at the waist so it looked like it had pockets

I bought a fedora years before it became cool, and because I was never one of "them kids" who reveled in the fact that they were somehow different from "the pack", I hardly wore it and my mom ended up donating it to Goodwill.Luckily I kept the little red feather that was once attached to this fedora.Lately (and by lately I mean, the day after I found out the hat was in the big bag that was now in

Augh.  This week already feels like a wind tunnel.I bought a hat on impulse.  Why? I don't know, I meant to buy gloves, instead I bought a trapper's hat from a department store that originated from a fur trapping company (10 points for the name of this department store).  And this was my outfit of the day.Oh. A store I really really like is having a sale.  I'm hoping to go later this week.

via oaknycI've never seen one like this, dammit why'd it have to be sold out?Joy Division (to put this into context, somewhat) is one of the remaining bands from my quasi-wannabe-punk phase.  Such a depressing band (with possibly the most upsetting name origin) but when pushed and pulled into larger than life expressions of themselves, the songs become really uplifting pieces of emotion.Sorry

When I was young, my dad's then-girlfriend would change the channel the second 6:30 hit every Sunday - no matter what - to watch Fashion Television.  I sat and watched along with her, waiting for a glimpse of Isabella Blow, simply because I found her to be the most interesting person featured on the show.  She would have been 50 today, it's her b-day. psomgitsnowedtoday.

I saw the Bloc Party singles via wikipedia (because I'm that girl) and had a nasty few days where I thought I was crazy for recognizing the layout of it.  If I could find a proper photograph of the Transmission single, I could probably illustrate this better.  I remember when Bloc Party first came out it was during this whole "omg, remember Joy Division? Probably not, but they were so cool!" and

Sometimes ideas that are born at 2am or so turn out to be good, fruitful ideas.Like I said, I did research and found a font that was close to the design of the original YSL logo, and downloaded it.  I've been tinkering with the layout today, and came up with a few samples. Here they are, the orignal logo is up last:I'm also toying with my actual initials.  My middle name is my mother's maiden

And I'm watching Sabrina The Teenage Witch.I think, "I can't fall asleep" goes without saying.I want to do this with a sweater.  But not with the letters YSL.  Earlier today, I researched and found 3 fonts that are similar to the logo (which, as i found out, is not an actual font but a custom-design by Adolphe Cassandre) and I'm thinking of doing this with my initials.  I do have three of

I want that hat so bad.  Ever since I was little and I would see pictures of Isabella Blow in the "Blow" hat, I wanted one.  When I learned the name "Philip Treacy" I wanted one more.  Now that he turned a peacock into a gold hat, I may just fly over to London and follow him around until he gives me one.That dress is nice too.

More shoes to ruin your keyboard over.  I think I only like these because they try a little harder than other boots to get you to pay attention.  What would be interesting is if one were to scrawl some little haiku over the straps?Maybe a Nursery Rhyme or Two.

uuuuuunnnnhhhhggg.My computer is acting strange.  Far too slow.  This, among other reasons, is why I have not posted in a few days.  The other reasons include seeing people who would be leaving at the end of this long weekend, and eating enough turkey to take me until Christmas.  I ran errands yesterday and voted. It didn't do much, but was a nice day.  Got to spend some quality time with a box

I've been using "bajillion" often lately as an adjective....interesting.So I've gone on and on before about Eugenio Recuenco's photography, and I have his online portfolio in that long list of links to the right there, but I never took the time to explore his website past the photography. And I'm so, so happy I finally did because I never realised there was a video section.Nor did I know he

This was my wrist today.  The rest was not particularly noteworthy soooo I focused on my wrist (also making the "outifit post" a bajillion times easier).Comments included: a joke about selling fake rolexes, being on Toronto/London/Tokyo time, forgetting the time, being on time, e.t.c.  Not that it matters much anymore, I quite like this.  Next time I'm thinking of going smallest to largest face.

Half inspired (wow how bloggy am I?) by the mustard socks below, half inpspired by trying to blend in with layer upon layer of dust at my new job.  I think it might work better if my pants didn't pillow outward or bunch up or something.Not sure.  Something is missing.Effort, perhaps?  I had very little this morning.

Yo I'm back.  With full-force and semi-okay humour.  On the first day that I was allowed out of my bed, it was actually kind of nice outside so I went to 69 Vintage's By The Pound store that is conveniently (and dangerously) close to my house, and managed to find a lovely (but too long) 20's-y inspired dress.  Sort of Virginia Woolf-y and Isadora Duncan-esque and Me-ish, and

I'm getting sick (damn).So I decided to protect myself by wearing my wool Zara dress and this:A humongous scarf I bought at Courage My Love for $0.50 awhile ago.  It's been sitting in my scarf box for months, only because I couldn't figure out a way to wrap it around my neck without looking too bulky.  I had this whole hoodie-scarf-wrap thing going on for awhile, and today I just decided that I

There was a bit of a "wangian" aesthetic going on with a lot of the attendees.  By that I mean the loose, silver-grey shirts and the tight black skinnies.  Like, I saw one girl who was wearing black Cheap Mondays, a loose white tank and a cropped denim jacket (wish I'd gotten a picture).The sillhouette is interesting.  It hides a lot but I felt like to properly pull it off you had to be ten feet
