gossip girl






so season five of gossip girl premiered on monday. can we please just discuss the AMAZING fashion choices made in this episode?! i can't remember there being an episode where i didn't hate at least one of the outfits someone was wearing, probably because vanessa was no where to be seen (thank god!). i love how nate and chuck had different shades of blue on when they were waiting at the limo for serena. it had that effortless/beachy chic vibe of hollywood while no drastically changing their style. i have to admit, i'm a huge chuck fun (he is soooo attractive) and when he wore that leather jacket, my jaw actually dropped! i loved that he wore a shirt underneath, he made the jacket his own. damn he looked good! usually i like serena's outfits but feel that her skirts/dresses/shorts are very short however i loved everyone of her outfits on this episode! the dress she wore to the hollywood party, it was the perfect combination of covered up and revealing. she seems to have added some la to her style as well! queen blair, i adore her style. what i would give to trade closets with her! i have to admit that i wasn't completely sold on the white and green dress, i think the shape was a little strange...i loved the dress she wore in the Vogue photoshoot, i wouldn't necessarily say i'd wear it as a wedding dress but it was pretty. i can't wait to see the wedding, if it happens!

so now, some questions for you?
is dorota really pregnant or is she just covering up for blair? do you like blair and the prince together? did serena deserve the job? what's going on with "ivey"/when will serena find out?! and what was your favourite look from the episode?! i'd love to hear your thoughts.

ootd: school spirit / xmas? (09/22/2011)


vest: sirens
skirt: buffalo david bitton
french tips: emerald city

This outfit was one that looked better photographed. (Excuse my bedhead?) Last Thursday was Terry Fox School Spirit day; and due to my lack of school branded gear, this is what I came up with. The combination of Canadiana and black (the other school colour is red) warranted a remark from my sister on my way out the door: "You look like you're going to a Christmas concert."

Sounds about right. Ah well, today calls for shoe shopping. I can finally be rid of those worn-down payless ankle boots! Thus, let me leave you artistic souls with some of our beloved mid-90s Fiona Apple.

fashion help: school look with fishnets?


apparently, the occasional exploration of the back of my mother's closet has become a time-killing hobby i look forward to... because i was at it again a couple nights ago. i found these in her sock drawer and just had to try them on. i have my own fishnets from costumes and dance recitals, but these were tights-and-fishnets-in-one! the translucence makes them a tad less racy than normal fishnets.


top: Stitches
shorts: Sirens
bracelets: assorted (mostly Zellers, aha)
ring: Expression

now wishing i had cutoffs to wear these with, but i don't. and i'd add a pop of colour with my bright green converse hi-tops. so what say you? is it an appropriate "i wanna be a rockstar" look, should i call for a different vibe, or was this just a bad idea to begin with?
