Reading With Pullteeth: Sandbox Magazine

Newest pick in the Pullteeth book club: Sandbox Magazine! This Winnipeg based magazine launched only a year ago, and it's exploded into a staple for any fashionable local. They have a great eye for local talent and they really showcase a lot of people who wouldn't normally be in the spotlight.
Not to mention the incredible cover styled by my pal Bri Fozter! (remember the infamous hair jacket?)

Look who it is! My two blogger BFFs Kylie of Nice and Shiny and Raez of Cheap Thrills!! This is from the launch issue of the last issue. You can see more photos of the party on Raez's blog (click).

By far my favorite article features Lara Vincent, who is a Toronto based designer with roots in Winnipeg. She designs the most beautiful head wears. I swear, any girls reading this would be crazy not to fall in love her her pieces. I mean... seriously?!. Check out her website http://www.laravincent.com/ for full lookbooks + a few videos.


Well look who it is.... As you can imagine Raez and I jumped at the opportunity to be featured in the magazine. Little did we know they were going to have us do what we love... thrift! I can't think of anything better! We wrote an article on our 10 tips when second hand shopping.

We were especially lucky to have a friend of mine, Kathleen Willson, taking our photos. It was so much fun shooting! Ahh!

For anyone who lives in Winnipeg, Sandbox is available right now at Burns & Black, Hush Clothing, and McNally Robinson. As of Jan 11th it will also be available at Chapters bookstores, not only in Manitoba but in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Toronto!
I hope some of you will be able to pick the magazine up! I tried not to post too much here, I don't want to spoil it ! If not you can always just check out their website, Sandboxmag.com.

PS: I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my wrinkled sheets. Yikes!

Washion Feek

As those of you who follow me on Twitter (cough, cough) may already know, I've been a very good male blogger lately. I've kept up with the mens fashion week shows so far! I normally put it off forever and never look back but I'm finding it a lot easier to look at the few shows that happen daily rather than leaving it all until it's all done. I thought I would share a few highlights for me thus far.

Burberry


(Burberry.com)
And just when I thought I would have to get over studs, Burberry throws in an unexpected punch of silver. I guess this means I can grasp onto studs for a wee bit longer!

Juun.J


(the fashionisto)
Windbreakers over motorcycle jackets? Done. Juun.J never fails to be one of my favorite collections season after season. I'm not sure how I feel about the visors but I'll let that slide.

Alexis Mabille




(nymag.com)
Classic example of how hair and makeup can make or break a show. I'm not familiar with Alexis Mabille, but I quickly flipped through these photos and disregarded them because of the hair and makeup. After a second look, I realized how much of the collection I really loved. The sandals, the one pieces, the suits. Such a great collection. Too bad all the models looked like fairies.

Anyways, those were just a few of my favorites. The skirts at Givenchy too, but that goes without saying. And to finish it all off, why not share my new favorite bag? Picked it up at a thrift store yesterday and I'm in love!

monday

I've been collecting files in my "inspiration" folder forever, and I thought it would be nice to share a few of my all time and recent favorites. I'm the worst for keeping track of where things came from so I can't really give photo credit. It's safe to assume many are from coute que coute, the fashionisto, and fuck yeah goths, among others. I've also thrown in a few of the songs I've been into recently.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Not-so-DIY

As an avid DIYer it pains me to know I skipped out of a project I am very capable of completing on my own but I had to make an exception recently. Normally I don't mind horribly tedious and repetitive activities so a shredded t-shirt was up on my to do list but I didn't get to it in time. I came across a seller on Etsy with very reasonable prices so I went against my better judgment and just ordered one. Turns out DIYing is a lot easier when all you do is send money through your paypal from the comfort of your computer chair, wait 2 weeks, and get a package in the mail. Maybe I'll start doing this more often!!


Worn here backwards and forwards, the shredding is intended for the back.
Check out the sellers store Goodbye Horses

stuff

My week has been so busy! Filled with getting way too drunk, making a fool of myself and losing one of my favorite jackets. Also filled with not ideal work shifts and no time to do things that need to be done. For example, homework, cleaning my room, and most importantly, BLOGGING! I think I'm taking my camera to be fixed on Friday so until then here is a little ~behind the scenes~ from our shoot last weekend (by that I mean stupid photobooth photos we took)




And here are some photos of the leather pants I bought at the thrift store the other day and sewed tighter. They're pretty damn tight though, but whatever! I like them :)


Hope everything is well with you guys. Now, I'm off to work another unsatisfactory shift at work. Closing? Blerg. Byeeeeeeeee

See Like Me vs Pull Teeth

Check out my first interview/chat/installation of many with Trey of See Like Me. Just raw, stupid chats between two bloggers. I think this might get juicy. I'm also in very good interviewee company with such hot shots as Alana Zimmer, Brooke Candy of Bloody Guts, and Coco Rocha among others. I could spend hours reading his interviews (which I am doing right now while I should be sleeping) Make sure you guys check it out, and be on the look out for more!

Makin' Papa Jeremy Proud

Remember that partie I posted about? Well holy hell what a partie it was. DJ Skeet Skeet blew my mind, right about the time "Party in the USA" came on. DEAD. Seemed like most of Winnipeg made it out for the event so caught up with some old friends and made some new ones. These shots are all about 5 vodka redbulls in, so please excuse the rosy cheeks. And, I would like to mention that I vowed to wear all Jeremy Scott, and baby did I ever. Even twittered @ITSJEREMYSCOTT and got THIS RESPONSE (click)!! DEAD pt 2. And I will provide you with the links to all the great Winnipeg bloggers that were there, because while making this post I really realized how many there really are!


Katina of Scratches, Bruises, & Bites fame

Luke of Muke Larvin (great vlogs) and the girls of the night, the hostesses with the mostesses Chelsea & Freya of Partie & Pachoulli

Anyways.. this post is coming LIVE to you from Gunsathome's Stefanie's laptop. (It's a PC, I hate it) We spent the day shopping, starting with the American Apparel warehouse sale which was pretty unreal. Spent $67 and got and stupid amount of crap I don't really need. But, we are drinking wine and getting ready to go out so I will update you all soon. Keep keepin it, mother fuckers. BYE BYE

Winnipeg...

(poster not edited in any way, shape, or form.. I swear)
The lovely girls over at Partie & Pachoulli are throwing a bonkers party tomorrow night!! If you're in Winnipeg and you don't have your tickets you're crazy. I'd also just like to mention that I may or many not have changed my flight to Vancouver so that I could go to the show. JUST SAYIN' IS ALL. IT'LL BE THAT GOOD.

Oh and my outfit will probably be head to toe Jeremy Scott so you can't go wrong with that. See you turds there!

Not my DIY

I had the pleasure of spending the evening with the lovely and talented Kylie of Nice And Shiny. We spent the day frantically trying to pull together my costume last minute. I've had it planned for months but it never seemed to come together. It is finally looking up though, but I would've been S.O.L without her so THANK YOU KYLIE! I will update with photos of my costume as soon as they're up!

Buttttttttt, if any of you are readers of Nice and Shiny you know she's a master of DIYs. When she posted the shoulder epaulettes she made I nearly died. When we went to her house to work on my costume I got the honor of being her first paying customer. LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY.


I still can't get over how beautifully crafted this is. All of my DIY projects are soooooo sloppy but you can really appreciate the time and effort that went into this.

Happy Halloween everyone! Can't wait to see all of your costumes

Folk Fest

Just got home from the Winnipeg Folk Festival this afternoon with a mean ass sun burn. Saw some great music (Iron and Wine, Great Lake Swimmers, Neko Case, DJ Logic, Okkervil River, Mirah, a ton more) and some even greater friends! Here's a few of the shots I took over the long, long, long weekend. Enjoy!
