kristen stewart vogues

it may be considered controversial to put kristan, someone who not exactly know for her fashion sense unless styled for the red carpet, on what is considered america's "top fashion" magazine. personally i'm not actually a fan of us vogue nor the article and shots of kristen inside the magazine, but being a huge fan of the girl here's what i do love.
  • the cover. shot by testino, dreamy, fresh & beautifully styled. probably the best cover she's done ever.
  • she's not edged out. they showed her soft and pretty and really she's stunning and should embrace her beauty more. very reminiscent of some of the vanity fair stuff she's done.
  • it's an all proenza spread, which is awesome in it's own right, but i love her youth associated with the brand.
  • it was done when she was portraying mary lou while shooting on the road, which i hope to god is done well because it's such a epic story. hopefully the blond hair will help ensure that it's not "bella swan" on screen hanging with dean and sal. fingers crossed.

open bar

my annual work party. always the sloppiest shindig of the year, with an open bar can you blame us? i stuck to bud lights so i stayed civilized, but it was still a blast. since the party was at a rock bar this year i thought it fitting to wear something a little rougher around the edges. hence, the smokey eye, leather mini, messy hair and t-shirt. i had so much fun dancing to 90's hip hop and watching my buddy nate play with his band the commandeers. a-mazing.

special forces

i'm so in love with this shot of lily d.
the army parka is really the most versatile coat. it dresses down any look, is amazing with tougher items and you can layer it so it can work in any season. i love to wear my with vintage fur, usually my rabbit vest, but this is inspiring me to try it with a stole as well.
do you guys have any go to pieces/ holy grail items?

black panther


a few more spots underneath my leopard coat. my fuzzy zara sweater. worn with lots of flippy layers and the best winter booties.

snow leopard

it actually isn't very snowing in this shot, but i sure was cold. all bundled in my moola boots and vintage leopard print trench. i got this coat maybe 6 years ago for 70$ it feels like velvet, so lush. i wore it so much when i first got it, but it's been hiding in the closet for a while and it was about time for a revival. that's the best thing about vintage you can hang on to it forever and keep re-introducing it into your wardrobe. tomorrow you get too see the outfit underneath...

kstew - i just can't quit you.

i've long been enamoured with miss stewart, but lately her knotted over sized "rob" tops and sour "i hate fame" attitude has put me off. that is until i saw her tonight on the people's choice awards, so adorable. she looked amazing, those legs! the sheer bit on the straps and back, the sparkle and i adore.. adored! the hair and make up. so lovely. her presence was the only part of the show that caught my attention, except for when minka kelley and leighton meester quickly appeared on stage together and blinded me with beauty. now if only kristen would wear some burberry i would be beyond happy.

roses in the snow

my favourite winter buy - cougar moola boots.
i mentioned them in my cougar boots post as a style i'd like to buy after trying out the brand. i ending up getting them last month off sears.ca and they've become my go to footwear. comfy, warm, winter appropriate and worn here with my floral aritzia leggings.

spring please...

it's cold outside

an outtake from my cougar boots post. you get a better look at my winter accessories. the gap did so many great pieces this season. i picked up this chunky circle scarf and a pair of fingerless gloves. so not warm enough, but absolutely necessary in our touch screen/texting world. def. a true north look.

get 'er done

got my work boots on... i adore these. so cute, versatile and if you overlook my lack of driving skills when wearing them, very comfortable. so what if i have to take them off every time i drive? better safe than sorry. my favourite thing to wear them with right now are my jbrand cargos, this is actually the first time i wore them out after scoring them during a shopbop sale. in the spring i think they'll also look great with a little floral dress.
