i'm exactly what i appear to be, if you look closely.

SO! I finally saw a single man this weekend and was jaw open-tongue out-goose bump covered-giddy the entire time and continue to be as i write this...

I realized that there are a few things that I want. Scratch that. There are a lot of things I want.

I want it to be acceptable to drink a martini in bed at 11 in the morning
I want everyone to dress to impress all the time with immaculately tailored suits
I want to wear a beehive-esque hair style
I want to wear excessive eye makeup
I want to dance with Colin Firth in a living room that you enter through an indoor orange orchard
I want to live in a glass house
I want to swim naked in the ocean with Nicholas Hoult (yeah that's right Nicky... call me... winky face)
I want to live in a world where it's okay to look cool smoking a cigarette because the government is still profiting from nicotine sales and does not yet have the balls to tell us that we are slowly killing ourselves.
one. cigarette. at. a. time.
I want to be perfectly tanned all the time
I want to be approached by a sickeningly good looking man named Carlos in the parking lot of a liquor store and have him solicit me for sex (too far?)

BASICALLY
I want to live in a world constructed by Tom Ford where everything gives me a tingly feeling in my stomach and I am constantly blown away and impressed and surprised by how beautiful everything is.
IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR?? FUCK.

All morons hate it when you call them a moron. - J.D. Salinger

The biggest thing to come out of the book since the murder of John Lennon. A step in the right direction, I'd say!

Based on the character and story of Holden Caulfield, (the protagonist in J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye) clothing line Caulfied Preparatory takes note from Salinger's novel as the clothing reflects Caulfield's struggles in the days following his expulsion from prep school. 

In the Spring 10 collection the clothes manage to look as though they've literally been blowing in the wind for months without compromising the simple clean style. And moving on to Summer and Fall 10, one is easily and fluidly brought back to the compromising position of Caulfied: an anti-hero attempting to break away from the bourgeoisie lifestyle his parents are pressing on him.

It works and I like it.

... And one day i will have a boyfriend/man slave who dresses (and looks) like this.

pea-NUTS!

Is there anything better than Charlie Brown and the gang? If this had been a week ago, before I was showed this site, I would have responded to that question with a resounding "HELL NO!"

But this?

Well this changes everything.

Kickin The Peanuts is a music blog (updated daily with free downloads) full of old classics, new remixes and all around bad-ass good shit. Sounds lovely yet standard, right? Just wait. 

The music is catalogued and organized according to the musical tastes of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters, whose taste in music is clearly just as diverse as any of ours.

same same, but different

I haven't really been able to get over this Same Hill, Different Day project by Paul Octavious. His concept is straightforward; go to the exact same spot and take a picture, with a different result every time.
WELL! the results are beautiful and make me want to fly a kite.

Oh Joy!

Oh Joy! blog is authored by Joy Deangdeelert Cho, a graphic designer who owns her own business designing textiles, packaging, and branding for clients in the fashion and food industries. She also has a super cute stationery line.

Don't you wish your name could be branded? or at least a pun??

Anyways, it's one of those collection-of-all-things-pretty-and-inspiring-and-fun blogs that I (clearly) die for. It's updated a few times a day so go CrAzZyYyYyyyy

Ive been a fan of the Beckermans and the Beckerman brand for quite some time, but only recently came across their blog. Written by sisters Callianne, Samantha and Chloe, the blog chronicles the outfits of the three designers and their friends, which needless to say, are amazing.

Clothing can not be considered fashion until someone ups the ante and infuses some life into it. The girls create all their own textiles each season which ensures something completely new, fresh and alive. Their fun approach to fashion is something that should be celebrated(!) and their blog not only consecrates their own designs, but their own personal style.

Living in Toronto (particularly in the dark and dreary winter months) can be incredibly depressing and monotonous. For a city that's so multicultural, diverse and full of life, I'm constantly amazed at how vapid and effortless people's outfits can be. The Beckerman's blog is fun and INSPIRING and breathes some energy back into every day dressing.

Whaaaat the february

Another one i lurve. The Unknown Hipster started out when (an incredibly talented) French guy moved from Paris to New York and created an alternate persona known as "The Unknown Hipster". Self described as that guy who "appears at Fashionable and Cultural events without being necessarily on the list", he puts a different spin on the traditional fashion blog. Instead of photographs, he opts to draws his own depictions of the events he attends and/or the goings-on around him.  His colourful sketches (and paintings, on a good day!) document his encounters in the world of fashion and art.

Everyone knows him, yet no one knows who he is. Brilliant!
