desperately seeking anna

anna (left) and rosanna (right)

i love wildfox favourite anna laryn . she is so playful and i think she looks so much like rosanna arquette in the early 80's. which of course only makes me like her more because if desperately seeking susan is in your top three favourite films you have a lot of love for rosanna aka, roberta/susan.

catwoman

the caption on this photo is "kate is looking worse for wear" but i think she looks pretty great. the perfect leopard print jacket and a constant inspiration. i'm aware i post her a lot on here but do you blame me she's an icon.

pocket full of posies

all i want to wear right now is florals. this dress is a perfect example, dusty muted print, long sleeved mini, 100% vintage perfection. i styled it two ways, one ideally with the best marc by marc boots and one realistically in chucks. you can't work all night in 4 inch heels, at least i can't. i love how i found the perfect pink nail polish to match the flowers and i adore my fav. blind melon engraved lyric tag/dream catcher necklace.

party like it's 2009

ok, so the cats out of the bag. these photos are old, like 2009 old. i've been a very bad blogger and i'm so behind, hence the blogging at dark horse today. i figured if i got out of the house i'd buckle down and get a ton of these posts that have been on the desktop and in my photo albums waiting, up and onto tns. so far i'm at 6 posts! yeah, on delay of course so your bloglovin's won't be bombarded all at once :)

this is what i wore to the debaucherous, annual staff xmas party. not the brightest idea to wear pleather to dance the night away, i was extremely hot and had to shower right when i got home, eww, but it looked good, lol. so fun as usual although not as cringe worthy as normal b/c no shots allowed at the open bar this year. i think my boss is finally figuring out his staff are just a bunch of alcoholics and tried to reign us in this year (i'm not speaking about myself per say, i always drink responsibly, well usually).

i love ash.

i know mary kate probably has a few more admirers and i fully appriciate her incredible sense of style but my heart is drawn to ashley. she always looks chic, simple and put together but it's never stuffy or boring. her clothes are just beautiful, quality and always special. these are three favourite looks of mine. the top shot has two of my fav. ashley pieces, her tall balenciaga boots that always go so high up on her calves (which maybe due to her height) but i love that look. as well, she's carrying one of my favourite bags ever, her fendi croc tote. the fact that fendi named the re-release of this bag after the twins shows their incredible influence on fashion. she looks perfect but effortless in this leggings look. then we have a gorgeous summer look, layers of sheer cotton, a hint of skin, the perfectly detailed jeans and the givenchy. wow. very few people can make jeans and a little top look so cool and sexy. finally, fringed and studded for a day of shopping, ashley never disappoints the paps. such a killer look.

i think i'm in love

i wanted to thank everyone for chiming in on which bag they liked better below. although i'm still in love with the mulbery leah, i am leaning towards the balenciaga. it's such a classic and i've wanted one forever. the bad thing is after doing a bit more research trying to track down a dark blue version of the bag i posted (i love the green but dark blue is my dream colour) i discovered an amazing blue leather and a brand new bag shape for this season. now all i want is a balenciaga town in canard blue with regular hardware, although the giant rose gold hardware on the pic above is pretty bitchin' too. i need to track one down. i mean a bag in between the size of a first and a city with a long shoulder strap that can be worn cross body, it's made for me.

sailor c.

a little sailor moon inspired post title.

i picked up this dress at the new 69 vintage on bloor a few months back. it's funny because i think i saw this piece at my local thrift shop and didn't pick it up b/c the shape was all wrong, of course altered it immediately caught my eye. maybe i'm mistaken, but if not i could have saved m self a few dollars :) still the girls at 69 always give me a special rate so it wasn't too bad. i wore it with one of my favourite pairs of boots. i got these for next to nothing and they're not designer brand or anything but they are awesome. the wood heel has such a great shape and i always get asked about them when i wear them. i can almost walk in them all day too....

agrh, the bangs in these are killing me. i'm so glad they're almost grown out now.

red carpet stars

rachel mcadams in elie saab

miley cyrus in jenny packman

carey mulligan in prada

my favourite dresses from the 2010 oscars.

i loved rachel, she was so stunning. the elie saab dress had a gorgeous pleated bust that really flattered her small frame and the colours went perfectly with her eyes/hair and skin. she look like a walking monet painting.

miley surprised me because i wasn't expecting something so fresh and simple from her. it was youthful but still elegant and i adored the corset top and frothy skirt. so pretty.

carey was adorable. the prada dress was classic, but also quirky (it had little spoons sewn onto the bodice), which i think really spoke to carey's personal style. i adored the hemline and the shape of the skirt. her hair and make up were also flawless, delightful. (anon. thanks for the heads up on the name screw up, lol.)

i had to add this shot. stunner.

crop/top

the whole cropped t-shirt trend is something i'm not quite sure off. i like the idea of it but not the idea of my mid-driff exposed to the world. i mean i'm not 16 or rachel on friends here. instead i'll pair them with high waisted numbers and maybe a lace body suit for a bit of coverage. what do you all think of the trend??

today i'm going to aritzia to check out the new wilfred free line of basics, which according to their blog is now in stores and then maybe to aldo to check if any of those shoes the adorable stamy is wearing in the ads have hit the shelves.
