This Women Is Changing My Life

Holy Shit! This blog kills me! 

Go! Go Now!

THE MAN REPELLER

5" and Up

I haven't showcased a blogger that inspires me for a while... I thought today I would tell you about one of the blogs I look forward to reading everyday... 5 inch and Up ! I suppose it shouldn't surprise me an expat from Finland living in London who loves towering heels speaks to me. Her minimalistic style mixed with a little bohemian spice gets my gears turning for fall. Not to mention Calgary is looking eerily similar to London in it's gloomy grey nature and never ending cold rainy days.... now if only there were a Camden Market that I could raid on the weekends too...

The disfunctional relationship of love/hate

"I’ve been thinking a lot lately about fashion blogger cliches–namely because when a lot of people meet me in real life they are 1. underwhelmed by what I’m wearing 2. shocked I can’t name drop ‘cool’ designers 3. more shocked that I don’t care. I like fashion. I like it a lot. I think it’s an incredible creative outlet and admire those people who can effortlessly do it season after season. That being said, I’ve never had this crazy desire (that I do for science or people) to learn about it. I think paying excessive sums of money for clothes is crazy (i was ogling things on net-a-porter the other day: $2000 dollars for dress pants?!?). I think being a snob about clothing is even more crazy. I think this is why I have a love-hate relationship with fashion. I LOVE beautiful clothes and shoes, but I hate this exclusive culture that surrounds fashion. Like really? Over something so frivolous?"

As quoted by fellow Canadian, Vanessa of The Haute Pursuit . Get out of my head, and into my car gurrrrl!

Hair! Glorious Hair!

Whoa! 2 times in one day? What is going on here?! Well, I found this photo on my blog reading today and just love it. I noticed I am drawn to photos with a lot of hair lately.... Im not sure what this means... time for a hair cut maybe? Time for a change maybe? Time for more head banging maybe? But seriously, I had my hair trimmed the other day (first time in 2 years - other than the thinning and trimming Trina and I were doing in her bathroom) and now all I can think about is how much a need a change. Im thinking thick bangs and long long scraggly locks (which I already have, albeit, not that long YET) Am I crazy? Once you have bangs, it's hard to go back, but Im so bored of this mop.

Anyway. Right. The photo.... it's from On The Racks blog.

And this one of Ashley Olsen is from Studded Hearts and is just Q-UTE! .... I know neither of them have thick bangs, so maybe Im just projecting.

Hearts in my eyes

I found the most perfect blog I wanted to share with you. Every morning I look forward to hoping on the old Google Reader and quickly scrolling down for her posts.

Behold the wonder!

FADE TO BLACK

This girl completely restores my faith that dressing like a crazy hippie (please note the BELL BOTTOMS!!) is acceptable even when one is in their mid Twenties (thank god, I was getting worried that as I get older, I must become boring. Whew!) Love Love Love her style!
