Enraptured by this ethereal and haunting image of Rad Hourani by Finnish illustrator Laura Laine. Lovely.

Gah
Leaving for Morocco monday night. Battled an epic hangover all day yesterday - now must pack and run errands and do the things that one must do before jetting off. Will miss you all! See you in a week? xx

File Under: Jimi Part 2
I've been meaning to blog about this for eons... but life, work, play has got in the way.
I posted awhile back about my BFF's sick old Lee jean jacket. This was a piece from our past that conjured up memories of our first real pay cheques, pricey sushi dinners out, and a few boy-toys (hers not mine) haha.
And how great is she? About a week later... what showed up in the mail?? THE jean jacket! Granted she was sporting a beautiful baby bump at the time - that may not have fit under said jacket - but regardless the classic is out on loan and has become my go-to. I promised to return it come Fall. Perfect time for her to rock it with a stroller - and enough time for me to find one on Ebay? Hmmm.

Dark Shadow
So not relevant for the Montreal summer... but I stumbled upon these sick Rick Owens Dark Shadow "leggings" (dirty word they're totally more like jeans!) and I needed to own them. I know they'll get limited wear in the next couple months, but come Fall I'm going to be ecstatic to have them in my wardrobe. I must confess the shop girl even told me "not to wash them" as they'll fade... and I STILL bought them. Lol.

Wang Fall 09 Accesories
This is what you'll be wanting come Fall (and what Erin Wasson will be rocking tonight). Love that he added this washed out fucked-up grey to the repertoire... however I'm still kind of craving a brown bag from his Spring collection. I did splurge on the Brenda in black. (Such a classic!) And what about the shoes? Too much! Want them all! What to do?????

Apocalypse Now!
Forward looking, subversive and concise. And yet pretty, edgy, modern and referential at the same time. Reportedly "fed up with florals" but still wanting something "natural", he chose chemically coloured mushroom clouds as his paint - and modern, geometric shapes as his canvas. Collector's pieces are considered investments right?

How Much Givenchy Can You Take?
Lara Stone in Givenchy on the cover of Vogue Nippon. Now really - does it get any better?
The Shining Part 2
Vintage sequins are headed my way and I didn't even have to leave the couch! (Kind of sad but convenient?) Gotta love ebay... cost? $33!

Bike On!
Montreal is currently having a bit of a love affair with the bicycle. In classic Euro style it has recently installed approximately 3,000 Bixi bikes around the city and they've taken to tearing up streets left, right and centre in order to add bike lanes. (Montreal loves tearing up streets). Similar to the "Velib" in Paris, it is a share program aimed at getting more people on bikes. I myself am similarly smitten, and have taken to the Bixi like a bee-to-honey. Favorite time to ride - perhaps at 3am after a few drinks in heels and a mini - but no matter. What really matters is (bien sur) - bike style! Of course Copenhagen does it best so what better place to look for inspiration...

The Shining
In spite of my nagging hangover this morning (ok afternoon - ahem) I'm feeling the need to go to my nearest vintage shop and buy up a truck load of sequins. You too?

Bye Bye Mon Cowboy...
Denim and black leather.... what goes together better? Currently can't get enough of the two and therefore had to share this fantastic Vogue Nippon shoot featuring Freja Beha Erichsen. What do you think? Did you see those Givenchy over-the-knee boots?! Holy shit! Speechless.

Go Now!
If you aren't already familiar with Luxirare - go visit her now! She's amazingly talented, creative, and continues to blow my mind on a semi-regular basis.
Colour Me Beautiful
Foot fetish fanatics consider yourself warned...
Gah. I think I'm in love with this girls feet! (Does that sound really wrong?) Her beautiful tats mixed with such graphic shoes kind of make my heart go pitter-patter. No idea whose feet or tattoos they are...

Tom Binns DIY (to come...)
I swear this is the best DIY project just waiting to happen. My crafty intentions are usually just that... but this one might be too good to resist. Promise to post the results if they're not too embarrassing.

Hey Cute Girl...
...yah you. You know it. You're looking fine in your boyfriend jacket, bandage skirt and heathered grey tee. And even though the whole look is vaguely flasher steez... we're feeling it.

I Just Don't Know...
I'm a die hard Rick Owens fan - and while I can enjoy the sculptural beauty of this piece, I just feel kind of weird about it. I can't justify the need to use a 12' alligator to make a vest. Seems a shame. Thoughts?

A Trench Called Quest...
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find a classic trench coat? I don't want bells and whistles - I just want the real deal. I know I'm shopping for this item rather late in the season - but Montreal weather be damned. You're hot - you're cold, and I can't keep up. Anyhoo - my quest has gone online. Probably something Rag and Bone? Hmm. Anyone have suggestions? Love this girl. She's my trench-spiration. Haha. Bis, The Glossy Ed.

Cropped and Capped
Not that I need to point any of this out to you (so fash-savy and all) but this slick swede seems to be rocking the crop top quite unlike any other that I've seen. Dare I say that she looks kind of classy? I can only appreciate cropped tops when paired with high waisted pants - so her snappy hat, strappy shoes and leather jacket are just the cherry on top. Cheers.

The Now Smash of Style
In a genius editorial for Italian Vogue - Craig McDean kills it with a rather morbid, somewhat macabre shoot. Muted colours, smokey setting, edgy make-up. Love it.

Love for Oz
Long live Aussie style. Will let you know more once I know - however not before I order it all for myself. xx
