I've been doing lots of online window shopping lately, and one of my favorite sites to drool over is Lazy Oaf. It's not really the style I've been going for but everything is so damn cute. Their pieces have such a sense of humor which I love in clothes. (half this stuff reminds me of Kylie) Here are a few of my favorite pieces
On another note.. I've been obsessed with the idea of ~man sequins~ for a long time now but I haven't figured out how to do it properly yet. It's hard to find the balance between masculine and feminine without looking like a drag queen and that's not really the look I'm going for...
I can't remember where I found this picture, but I think it works because this guy looks like a MAN. Why GOD WHYYYY CAN'T I GROW FACIAL HAIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!?!!
These ASOS Sequin Print Joggers are a little more moderately priced, especally for such a crazy piece I probably won't get much wear out of. These might be the winners to try this look out (although I'm not the biggest fan of the zipper pockets.. hmm.....) I know this is a little out there, so let the anonymous hate begin!
I'll leave you with a tribute to the King of the man sequin, Michael Jackson
Edit: Totally forgot this image. Sooooo so soo perfect. I love the fit of these:
There is a story behind my newest DIY. While shopping in Vancouver, Stefanie forgot one of her bags in one of the trashy barstar stores we were in, so we went back in to search for it. After we had found it we found another trashy store we hadn't been in so we checked it out just for fun. Total ~*~destiny~*~ because I found these boots which were exactly what I was looking for. (and for $20 too!!) I wanted leather-looking boots that were thin so they would be easier to stud. Last time I tried studded leather I got about 4 in and wanted to die. This time it was a lot easier, but my fingers still feel like they're bleeding on the inside. Suffer for fashion though, right? Take a look! I hope it was worth all the blood, sweat and tears.
The only downside is they have ZERO grip on the bottom. My friend Lana was telling me she took a pair of shoes into a shoemaker to get industrial grip put on the bottom. Might be worth it to get a little more wear out of these. I can just picture myself sliding around on the show covered ice that Winnipeg's ground turns into in the winter months. Not a good look.
Merry Xmas from me, the sexy girls of Scratches, Bruises & Bites, and Lady Gaga who is the only person I have ever heard a raunchy Christmas song by where I wasn't completely offended. U go girl (make sure you listen, it's amazing)
Hope you all have a great Christmas!!!!!!!
PS: we're all doing our signature photo poses. That's why I look so angry. It was actually pretty hard to contain all of my excitement being so close to Santa himself!! I asked for a cat and he said no, though. Guess it won't be a merry Christmas for me :(
You guys don't even know how into the new movie The Runaways I am. I'm not going to lie, I'm not familiar with their music but you throw Kristen Stewert and Dakota Fanning together and I'm all game. I don't even know why I like Kristen to be honest. Her acting is terrible and I hate the way she presents herself, but I can't help it. There is something weirdly irresistible about her. And I have the strangest most illegal crush on Dakota Fanning. I mean SERIOUSLY...
SHUTTING. IT. DOWN. This girl can do no wrong. Her movie career is so well throught out and I think it is impossible to dislike her. For now I will leave you with the trailer for the movie. Spring '10, I am ready for you. I'll probably end up seeing this 12 times in the theatres.
Oh and I hear Kirsten and Dakota make out? Ya ok I'm into that.
While in Vancouver last week I stopped by the Adidas Originals store, just to look! (or so I told myself) Went in and tried on an entire Jeremy Scott outfit... just for fun! (or so I told myself) Left the store without buying anything but returned about a half hour later to buy these pants. I couldn't resist!!! I figured I wouldn't have another chance so I splurged a bit. I don't mind spending a bit more than I'm used to on pieces I really like lately. I'm so happy I got these. AH!! And I got the idea from Raez to try 3Ding myself but didn't have any 3D glasses laying around so I followed a Wikihow tutorial on how to make your own... They didn't really turn out. (click) Anyone else have 3D glasses laying around? Give it a try!! And perfect timing, right after I get home Nylon releases the first photos of the new Jeremy Scott x Adidas collaboration. I loveeeeeeee it all!! Better start saving my pennies.
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!
80s Purple was nice enough to send a holiday promotion for me to share with you guys! Once in a while I get emails about posting promotion codes but I figured this one was worth sharing. You'll get 20% off plus free ground shipping (not sure if international is including) It's only good today (Monday 14th) and tomorrow (Tuesday 15th) so shop quick!
Too bad I spent way too much money in Vancouver. Maybe the 20% will help me justify it.. I have one day to think about it! Enjoy though guysguys! Hope this helps
(H&M patchwork denim & a lot of Christmas reading)
Anyone else addicted to buying magazines? I have my free Nylon subscription, my V & V Man subscriptions, and I always buy Nylon Guys. On top of that I buy any other magazines that catch my eye/have anyone I'm remotely interested in (sup Miley) sooooo now I'm stuck with a million magazines to read and never seem to find the time to read them. These ones are the select few I found on my floor while cleaning my room recently. I'm positive there are more hanging around unread too. The Pop is unreal though, I flipped through it and I think it was a good investment. Regardless, I've got to support the other bloggers too! You go Tavi
Speaking of Tavi.. I couldn't care less about the Rodarte for Target line since I'm not really sure how well the Rodarte aesthetic will translate to mass production... The thing I like about Rodarte in the first place is their intricate detail/leather work/ect. BUT, having said that, I can't get enough of this video! I think it really captures how young Tavi is so perfectly. I thought most of her hate was jealousy to begin with, but after seeing this I can't comprehend hating her. SHE IS A CHILD!!!! AND SO SMART! AND SO WELL SPOKEN!! AND A CHILD!!!!! RAHHHH!!!
OH. MY. GODGA. As some of you may know I had the honor and pleasure of seeing the one and only Lady Gaga last night. We had VIP seats so we got to go to a pre show party where drinks were over priced (we got one free) and people were under dressed. I'm not usually one to complain about other people's clothes but this is Lady Gaga we're talking about here! STEP UP YOUR GAME!! We ended up going to White Spot for drinks where they had a Bad Romance shot in honor of the show (4 for 12 bucks, can't go wrong). We got some interesting stares in White Spot but when we went back to the show we were right at home with all the other little monsters.
Stefanie of Gunsathome was babin' out and had a total Jessica Rabbit moment with the hair. UGH. Seriously.. people couldn't take their eyes off her. So perfect!! I was going for my New Years outfit (which was also embarrassingly featured on Hipster Runoff.. can't find the post right now though) x10000000000. Ordered the ASOS Feather Cape and sewed it onto a suit jacket from a thrift store. And a good friend Annamaria found these beautiful creepers at a thrift store and picked them up for me. I am forever greatful because the first pair I got were too tight but these ones fit like a glove. I AM I LOVEEEE with these shoes!!!!!
Take a look at this video from our show! I could NOT believe it when of the backup dancers came on during "Monster" with an almost identical jacket to mine!! The only thing I was missing was hair underneath the feathers. (He's one of the first dancers out) I still can't believe it, it seems like I planned it but I had no idea. I SWEAR!!
Honestly.. the show was too good for words. Played everything I could have asked for aside from Telephone. The videos they had playing during/between songs were sooooo inspiring, as cheesy as that sounds. I think my next unrealistic project I am going to get into is film. Brb buying an expensive video camera that will just collect dust. I didn't bring my camera because the ticket said no cameras, but even from the 5th row there was still a sea of LED screens ahead of us. Didn't want to risk having my camera taken away.
Alright. I'm in Vancouver until tomorrow. I miss home but this city is great. Awesome shopping, great company.. It'll be sad to leave and get back to reality. Working hard to pay off all the clothes I bought here, finishing school assignments I put off until after my trip. All the good stuff. See you sooooooon!
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 NON BLOGGERS aka UNIMPORTANT (jk love u Onilee & Kathleen) Lady in lace aka 1/2 of Tjejsajten, Lana bo bana and the funnest of the night Meaghan and Derek (vodka shots provided by Derek...oy) Pretty girl Janique with the other 1/2 of Tjejsajten Meghan (looking great with new bangs I might add) Emma and Katina of Scratches, Bruises & Bites & the dumbest person I know Derek (all photos from Ronys Photobooth or taken by the dumbest person on Earth, Derek)
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
(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!
