If I’ve learned anything at all in my prime year of the quarter-life crisis, it’s about taking leaps of faiths. Continually, frightfully, apprehensively, and decisively. Whether or not the end result was what I would have expected, it always brought [...]
LeSportSac always has another trick up its sleeve – this time it’s the fresh face of Stella McCartney, whom I absolutely adore. Her new line for LeSportSac has feminine patterns, some of the most gorgeous bag styles that I’ve seen in awhile, and embraces all types of lifestyles (from kids to mothers). Not only has she lent her name to a fabulous line, but she’s mirrored her lifestyle values into the collection, with all of the materials being 100% recycled. 17 of the styles hit stores later this week on February 27th and are also available for pre-order on the LeSportSac website. I’m loving the hobo in the middle – I don’t care what anyone says, I love ridiculously oversized bags, to fit my ridiculously oversized life inside.

What Not to Wear was my favourite TLC program – what could be more educational than learning about how NOT to present yourself to society, and what the average joe or jane could do for a total image revamp? Stacy London is a style icon, but you’ve got to love Clinton Kelly for his impeccable (and still masculine) style. He’s hilarious, articulate, and just fun to watch. I like this blurb about him from the most reliable information source in the world (Wikipedia):
A man whose biggest fashion pet peeve is “the pajamification of America,” Kelly advocates that “If you don’t have fit, you don’t have anything,” stressing the importance of learning the basics: shoulder seams should sit on your shoulders, your jackets should always close, your buttons shouldn’t pull, and your pants should hang about a half-inch from the ground.
Clinton Kelly vs. Michael Urie of Ugly Betty – Who would win?

Oh please Old Navy, you can’t toss a couple rail-thin models on an ad with your masterfully altered clothing and expect me to think that you’re mid to high end fashion. In my mind, it’ll always be the store that sold $8 sweaters and 40% off cashmere sweaters. Or the land of middle aged mothers looking for a steal. I used to go there for the random casual piece, but now I have incredible distaste based on this one ad.

In case you don’t know the Hot Hot Heat song, I’ll just fill you in on why I’m quoting it. I have horrid sleepwear, I’m not going to lie. A tattered pea-green Nike t-shirt from six years ago paired with baggy blue shorts make for a great uniform for a pre-adolescent basketball enthusiast boy. Not a 21-yearold-tall-and-scrawny girl. So what’s out there for me, and why should I make the move to update my sleep wardrobe?
I’ve recently taken to American Eagle’s aerie line – they have cute plaid pj’s made with great materials and are fun and full of colour.
I always held the belief that if no one saw me when I slept, it wouldn’t matter what I wore. With time, the growing number of sleepwear retailers are chiding us into buying unnecessarily attractive pj’s. And I’m loving it.
I’ve seen men use lighters, window ledges, teeth, knives, and the insides of their elbows to get to their beloved alcohol. Being the student that I am, whenever there’s a house party there seems to be a shortage of bottle openers so we resort to the most ludicrous methods to getting to our booze.
Meet the Cheers Ring. I’m not sure if it has any relation to the 90′s bar, but this stylish ring is fit for any bartender. Hidden at the underside of the ring is a bottle opener concealed by the brass, stylish ring. Is it practical or just another novelty (my word of the moment)?
Guys, would you wear it?
