FOREVER21 IS DOING A "COLLECTION" OF RETRO/PINUP/ROCKABILLY INSPIRED LOOKS... AND NOBODY TOLD ME?!?!?!?!??!??!


How did I miss this last time?? I was too busy looking for band jackets. By the way, you're welcome, "Anonymous" ;)

Funny how it feels so good writing something like this.

currently listening to: The Horrorpops - "Keep my Picture!"



I've never really liked or cared for Katy Perry's music... like, at all.

But I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want to raid her closet. I think that she has probably the most amazing sense of style than any of these other chick pop singers ever have.

Some days I feel like I'd love to dress retro/pinup style almost exclusively, (well, you know, at least for the rest of summer), and this girl seems to pull it off so effortlessly that it's definitely inspiring:









Darn her for being so cute!!


I'm in love with these pin up girl shoes from plasticland!:




Oh, and I did find this adorable dress last time I went shopping:




I kind of miss working at a place where I can dress up every day. Boo hoo.

We weren't put here just to wait, you know...

It's only been two days since my last post but it feels like two weeks. I need to stop neglecting this blog so much. Haven't had time to dye my hair yet, but I'm still thinking about it. I should squeeze that in sometime this week during shopping and sewing, and redecorating my room. If I can.

ANYways...

I haven't been able to stop staring at the latest issue of Nylon. I really kind of have a love/hate relationship with that magazine. Sometimes it bores me to death or fails to get my attention in a positive way... other times I love it to pieces.

These are my favourite pages from this current issue: And, once again, I apoligize for the crappy quality of the photos taken with my digital camera. I don't own a scanner. Blah.

*Super cute spread featuring Taylor Momsen. How adorable is she? I still can't believe she's only 15... did anyone here look like this at 15? 'Cause I sure didn't.


*LOVING the clown/mime/harlequin styling. I wish I could do this hairstyle on my hair.


*I couldn't stop staring at this page. I love love LOVE this outfit. I'm not even sure why:


*And finally... I'm a sucker for short skirts/dresses. The shorter the better ;) haha, but seriously, this vintage dress is super cute. Maybe I can try to make one like it. Different colours, of course. And shoes. I need new shoes. I never thought I'd become one of those girls that becomes obsessed with cute shoes/heels but somewhere along the line I did. Shoes complete the outfit, after all.


Oh, and who remembers Samara... the uber creepy, yet somehow cute little girl that crawls out of the television screen in The Ring and killed everyone?? She's eighteen years old now!! That's her in the last photo!! How cool is that?!

"You have seven days."

HA!

Dear Matthieu, I know what it's like to lose your mind.

Isn't it funny when you venture out somewhere... like I don't know... a fabric store, maybe, in search of a specific thing, but come out of said store with an entirely DIFFERENT thing altogether??

Guilty of doing that today. I ventured out in search of more army green twill and military aeroplanes fabric and instead came out with a yard of cupcake print fabric and bunny ears.

Yes, bunny ears.

Now I can be like my favourite frontwoman, the ever lovely and doll-like Chibi of The Birthday Massacre.





But if I don't think I'll wear them to the venue if I ever see them in concert again. Might be a bit annoying for the person standing behind me...

...but then again, I AM pretty short.
