I don’t have the attitude and/or confidence to ever pull this off…without a perpetual grimace or ridiculous expression on my face. Do you? If so, I want to meet you. Now.
This is the descriptor from Old Navy:
“When it comes to style, just wing it. Bright butterflies adorn soft, lightweight cotton knit.”
And wing it they did! Would you wear it?

This is for a good laugh - Sanuk Sandals (hey, what’s with this blog and seemingly obscure sandals?) was brought to my attention from my comrade Paul. What’s so distinctive about this puppies? Well their landingpage spokesperson is a grade-A hippie and/or green-smoke lover, and several of their offerings resemble burlap sacks (which they refer to as “SideWalk Surfers“). Aside from the overbearingly awkward design, it would come as a surprise that this things actually aren’t cheap, sitting at a price range of $40 (for sandals) to $55+ for the …

White Hot was last year, this year all the celebrities are donning turquoise framed sunglasses. Gwen, Sienna (that’s her right? I can’t even tell), and Paris flaunt these new glasses in various shapes and styles. Is it just me or do these look a little too alien-like for my liking?
Would you wear them?

As a tribute to missing the ‘hottest ticket of the year’ aka the Spice Girls Reunion Tour stop in Toronto, I’m going to babble about my childhood icons in an attempt to procrastinate from doing my assignments and studying.
Tonight is the first night of the Spice City performances, where Toronto won through an online vote for the popstars to stop in our fine city. I’ve heard of tickets being sold on ebay upwards of $500. Who wouldn’t wannabe in on the nostalgia of the 90s? Take a hard look at …

Originally introduced by Prada last year, the “footless sock” has hit mainstream via American Apparel. For only $12, you can enjoy a variety of three-toned, knee-high pairs. Personally, although I find them kind of adorable, even without having tried them on, I can tell that their wearer will have to choose her shoes carefully.
And now the real question - would you wear them?

I’ve been addicted to vintage lately. Starting from my recent Calvin Klein Cropped Trench-style Jacket (let’s make its own category). I’ve started to pay more attention to the vintage presence online, and it’s become such a hot commodity that start-up companies are making a small fortune off of vintage finds.
Vintage Laundry is Chinese Laundry’s cousin - a website that offers funky shoes from various time eras, which I’m not sure anyone will wear. I can’t decide if the photo above is off-the-charts trendy or grotesquely unwearable.

I have to admit that upon learning that Juicy made a collection for men, I giggled a little. However, with further investigation I realized that this was a highly legitimate line - an extension of allegedly high fashioned goods for the opposite gender the brand is usually identified with.
Whatever happened to Juicy? Famed for their atrociously overpriced velour tracksuits (which reminded me only of ghetto fabulous rap videos), and mismatched colour bags, Juicy in my eyes has only experienced a downturn. After the introduction of nylon-esque tracksuits in 2006 (which …

It’s usually tight, cut to be raunchy, and derived from a fast-running animal. Why are animal prints so hot for the demographic other than our friendly neighbourhood Cougar-ladies?
It doesn’t exude sophistication, it doesn’t exude exotic…the only thing it probably emanates are smells reminiscent of the jungle. I’m just not a fan of Zebra and Leopard prints, I’d rather see them on an animal purring around a cage for a crowd to watch in awe.
