Pursuit of happiness

Soooooooo

My laptop broke. I can already hear doves crying.

Ergo, the updates will probs be few and far between if they happen at all until i get it back, which might be 2-3 weeks from now. I don't really like updating from other computers for many reasons, most of which all lead back to the fact that I can't spend much time on them or store much on them because they're not mine.

I'm gonna go visit all your blogs now...sigh...pray that my laptop has a speedy recovery and that I manage to do as many updates as possible??

I can't quite put my finger on it, but i really do love this candid picture of Agyness Deyn. Probably something to do with the way her outfit blends in with the background...but i miss her blonde hair.

just started snowing today!

Swing swing

So i forgot to take a pic of this whilst i was wearing it last night so i thought this would be a half-decent alternative...







dress - zara
boots - winners(!)

How excited is everyone for winter break??? I am so overworked.

At least I have my precious London Fog to stand by me while i stress myself to death. Thanks starbucks.

Have a great weekend! Gonna go take a break and catch up on my Ugly Betty

Dance in the dark

So i went to the lady gaga concert. And despite the ridiculous (and i do mean two hour) wait for her to come on......i LOVED IT.

She put on a spectacular show, had a ton of glorious outfit changes any fashion lover could appreciate, sang all the right songs, and was shockingly adorable, relatable, and humble when she chitchatted (often) with the audience. I won't go into too much detail so as not to spoil it for the rest of you who are anxiously waiting for her to land in your town..

I know I'm long overdue for an outfit post but I just have not found the time to get anyone to take a halfway decent picture of me and probably won't until at least the end of this week, but I would like to share with you what will inspire my purchasing choices this holiday season (this is going to be a winter-inspired post....we get a crapload of snow over here):

Alexander Wang Lattice Bobbled Oversized Sweater

Preen Line Wool-blend Chunky Cardigan

Helmut Lang Metallic Jersey Top

Bassike Mega-wide Organic Cotton T-shirt

I do lots of posts on tops and dresses....i'll do one soon on something else entirely :)

p.s can somebody please tell me how its possible that things costing 1000 dollars over at netaporter are sold out in this economic climate? Well I guess if you have the extra cash (or want it badly enough) you'll make it happen?

Boy i need to be making more money

Wanted to post pics of the new Acne stuff but i've already seen it all over the blogosphere..so I decided to post this amazing shoot instead.



P.s, my scrubs season 8 dvd just arrived from amazon and I have the BIGGEST smile on my face. If I go pick up my fave London fog at Starbucks/second cup and watch scrubs whilst drinking it, I may overload on happiness. I'm talking hallucinations of unicorns gallopping through fields of marshmallows.Yeah. That happy.

I suggest you start watching scrubs if you aren't watching it already


Happy thanksgiving to everyone over in the U.S of A!

Watch them build up a material tower

So...thought i'd perhaps make a little gift guide?

And no, I don't assume that these are all things you all want to buy, its more a collection of things I know i would love so maybe, just maybe...you'd love them too? Or like them enough to get them for someone else?

And I have not included any way overpriced things...this is less a fantasy post and more a realistic one. For once. :)

This movie made me laugh, cry....all the good stuff, people. I loved it and have preordered it myself (will be available december 22nd)

Alexander Wang T. Because who doesn't love the PERFECT wardrobe staple? Nobody does that better than A. Wang

It's always sunny in philadelphia season 4. Hands down one of tv's funniest and best-kept secrets

Marc Jacobs "Protect the skin you're in" T. Chloe sevigny's on the front. I'm already on my way to order it

Manners, the newest album from Passion Pit. Just some friggin cool music, friends

Polaroid one600 Classic Instant Camera. I'm a sucker for a good polaroid camera, they're the best for making the most honest, hilarious memories


But seriously, I could go on and on in terms of gift ideas....let me know if you need any more!



Bonus y'all, these things are all available on amazon.com (the canadian amazon is not nearly as bountiful, unfortunately).

Russian Roulette

This is an outfit that i have decided is essential for my survival. And yes. I am aware how disgustingly materialistic that sounds but....bear with me for a moment.

Helmut Lang blazer, Richard Nicoll dress, Elizabeth and James shoes, Erickson Beamon necklace

Blazer open for moi. And keep in mind, i'm sure there are much cheaper alternatives out there! (I am on the hunt, that's for sure)

Might do more of these outfit compilations if you guys find them as fun as i do :)

Hope you all had a great weekend

Caught in a bad romance

Saw these pics on facehunter and I had to share ...









source: facehunter



I love everything, from her colour scheme, to the clothes/accessories themselves, to her hair. And she is SO stunning.

check out couture cookie if you haven't already. She always has the most interesting things to say and you will find yourself wondering why no one else has brought up her post topics before

the time is near...school's out in less than a month. thank the lord.

Gonna go pre-order 500 days of summer now. That movie made me so happy that i wanted to hug strangers and take baths in rainbows and gummy bears

Look no further than Chloes latest collection to channel your inner effortless goddess. I really really loved their latest show, the above picture being my hands-down fave look from it. The colour palette, the leather shorts (did i mention they're RED? my closet demands i own them), the shoes...sigh. I really hope I grow up to be a zillionaire (no worries i realize there are way more important things in life).

CHLOE. IS. KILLING. IT.

i am exhausted dangit.
No time to get back to comments tonight but hopefully I'll have a window tomorrow morning otherwise it will have to wait till thursday, as i'm not home as of 8:45 a.m tomorrow morning until 11:30 at night.

I need more sleep, friends. That's a fact.

I will end this post with a favorite quote

Happiness is a warm puppy  - Charles Schulz

Get yourselves pets. And try and rescue them from shelters. I promise you a lifetime of happiness.

It's been awhile since we last spoke and this is gonna sound like a bad joke

Good morning friends

Today's post is a two-parter.
a) new sweater

This is a new sweater (sorry for the redundancy here) that I just bought recently and wanted to show you guys.  Its definitely been one of my most expensive purchases.  Its got a bit of an Alexander Mcqueen casual wear vibe going on (i know, such a mouthful). don't know if you can tell but its a very long, chunky sweater on me, which i love



the brand is lime knitwear.

b)a fantastic shoot i have discovered
