After falling head over heals in love with La Garçon’s insurmountable styling, I set my sights on a pair of Acne Jeans. I’d been casually brisking through the thwack of boxing day sales when low and behold I find a pair of Acne Hex Jeans in a perfectly seasoned darker wash via Revolve. I could just feel the buttery soft denim by looking at them and after about two seconds of awing I took the plunge. This officially ends my [very] longstanding pattern of really bad online jean purchases – the ebay Sass & Bide letdown; the ridonkulous cheap monday shrinkage. And so we have it folks, fittingly named Triumph, the 27 waist – 34 inseam fits like a glove, nothing but love. I just might have to do this again, pending another 50% off price tag.
I pretty well squealed with delight after seeing this. Filmed using hidden camera’s at London’s Liverpool Station, T-Mobile’s ad shows 400 dancers exploding into choreographed renditions while passerby’s had no clue what the EFF was going on. Brilliant.
“For years, men who made the very personal decision to pop their collars—sometimes while gettin dollars—have been ridiculed. But now the august Wall Street Journal officially declares that collar-poppin is not “foppish” a bit!”
Attire at ease! La Garconne’s Fall-Winter 2008 lookbook is nothing but ease. Functional, multi layered, confortable easy to wear pieces that wrap you up like you want to be in cold weather. Notable is the way these looks can transfer to someone without a budget for the site’s pieces. Although I hold a special place in my hear for the Rika Blouses, Acne Jeans and Sigerson Morrison footwear featured. A few of my favorite looks are on the next page. Read More…
It’s a balmy zero celcius outside (I mean it when I say that) but it won’t last long. That’s why I need me some seriously oversized furry foot coverings, also known as boots. The Sorel Caribou can do no wrong. Just throw on some skinnies, scarf and coat and you’re laughing. Onwards to Heel Boy for a pair – or WalMart or Canadian Tire – I aint too proud.
New places, new people, resolutions, resolves – whatever your new year mantra may be, make sure it’s filled with health and happiness. Mine to start is filled with about twice as many beers as I’m used to and if you haven’t noticed: a new blog theme!! I hope you enjoy it because last night my usual sexy dreams we’re replaced with dreams of CSS coding (brutal) as I’ve been struggling with getting this up by the end of the weekend. My poor macbook almost took a beating. I cooled off from coding hell yesterday with a brisk trip to Smoke’s Poutinerie - the new essential spot to hit for a myocardial infarction in this great city. While it’s not the best I’ve tried, i’d definitely hit it again after a night of drunken misjudgement and beer fueled starvation. Hey, I know my patterns, alright.
