let's hear it for the boys!

Ray bans, blazers, trench coats, sperrys topsiders, oxford button downs, nike cortez sneakers, varsity jackets, denim for days, polos, crewnecks, dudes wearing hats that don't bear the logo of their favourite sports team.

Ugh.  Have you ever realized how wonderful mens fashion was in the 80's? Some seriously risky business.

Take me there John Hughes.

the most ultimate combo of colour, draping, melt-in-my-mouth goodness simplicity i've seen in awhile. mmmm.

Photographer Tierney Gearon reminds me of the importance of having fun, hanging out naked and acting like a kid. Furthermore, she's made me realize that so many of the most fun times decidedly come about when you are hanging out naked and acting like a kid.

Take a look at her site... i particularly like the mother project

For designers by designers is the philosophy of Design Porn

The official design portal for AmoebaCorp, a design firm based in Toronto (what! what!?). It's full of inspiration. Anything from music, photography, fashion, interiors, illustrations, blah blah blahh


I want you. I need you. Oh baby. Oh baby.

Want...? Need...? This is no time to debate semantics.  It is a time to reach out to wallets and bank accounts in need.  

In this case, mine. 

Help cover my body in these duds. Clothing is a basic human right.

I'm not asking for much. Just a dollar or two thousand thrown my way. If you aren't the solution, you are the problem. Any and all donations are welcome.

Why walk when you can Gallop?

Cindy Gallop.

I took a look into her home (Chanel shotgun? Don't mind if i do!) on The Selby, and after digging around and doing a bit more research about this amazing woman I found out there is much more to her than her "consultant/entrepreneur" title suggests.

One project that really spoke to me is http://www.ifwerantheworld.com/

IfWeRanTheWorld is described as a simple platform that harnesses good intentions and downloads them into tangible, do-able micro-actions that anyone and everyone can fulfill. By simply completing the sentence "If i ran the world I would...." you are subscribing to the concept that you are what you do.

After you decide what your main effort in running the world would be, the website gives you the tools to start your own action platform. It forces you to think from the ground up; beginning with the tiniest steps that one would need to take in order to make their ideas a reality.

If i ran the world... i would give everyone a reason to smile every single day

The brain! The brain! The center of the chain!

April 2010 is sure to bring about many positive things: graduation, retiring my tights/going bare-legged, some much deserved sunshine, and most notably the re-release of of my favourite childhood series The Babysitters Club(!!!!!!)



Ohhh Anne M. Martin. How you cut to my core and made me realize the importance of friendship, family, celebrating our differences, and childcare.

In keeping with the Baby Sitters Club theme, my dear friend Miriam showed me this gem of a blog a few weeks back. The author of the blog takes note from the sassiest BSC member Claudia, and reinterprets her style with a modern spin. Essentially what Claud wore, and would wear today.

Like Claudia Kishi, Miriam has always been my friend who dictated cool. She is a go-to for music, style and laughs; oozing effortless hip-ness and rocking bangs better than Zooey Deschanel (a hard thing to do. trust me, i've tried).

This site is bomb and so is Miriam.
