Metallics, Fur and Gold





There is nothing like a fabulous new dress to cheer me up when I’m feeling low, hence my trip to H&M this past weekend. What started as an innocent browse, quickly turned into me throwing down the plastic, (debit obviously, not credit, Recessionistas don’t do debt). Here is how I have styled up the dress I bought! 

p.s. Because I haven’t got a professional photographer, or any photographer for that matter, at home with me I am reduced to doing the mirror-pictures. Let’s pretend I am in NYC hailing a cab, not holding a camera up… Hope you enjoy!
Dress: H&M
Belt: Bang-On
Vest: Vintage Rabbit Fur 
Coat: Vintage Rabbit Fur 
Shoes: Stuart Weitzman

I LOVE Vintage boots


Doing a little Granville St shopping last week and wandered into USED, (amazing vintage store just off of Robson). Did the necessary 80s dresses-try-on and then spotted these gorgeous white leather booties! Almost brand new, a bit big, but a fashionista will sacrifice. And they came with a very happy vintage price-tag, a.k.a. very affordable – $24!

Marc by Marc Jacobs

I adore Marc Jacobs, and lucky me Tommy knows this. On a recent trip to Vegas he brought me back not one but two!! gorgeous Marc by Marc Jacobs chain purses!

Happy to report they have gotten lots of use.

Stylestruck got fashion blogged


Walking home from work minding my own business, not feeling particularly fashionable when WHAM two very stylish people snap my picture for their fashion blog: www.fashion604.com. Here it is!

Next time I’d like the option to do a few poses, as I don’t find this picture particularly flattering. But hey, I got papparazzied! I’m not gonna complain.

A Stephen Sprouse/Debbie Harry Combo



Debbie Harry has long been a favourite of mine. It’s something about her quirky sense of style, how bold she is and how genuinely her personality shines through to the exterior. You can imagine how excited I was when I found a copy of her Rockbird album last spring at a record shop. The cover art is gorgeous, I have it on my wall, and it only cost 99 cents. One of my best purchases. Then this past fall I was searching through a little record shop on Hastings and found Harry’s album for her single “French Kissin” with the same cover art in different colours. 

So then the other day I’m on style.com looking through the beauty icons bit (click here to see what I’m talking about) and see an article about Stephen Sprouse designing Debbie Harry’s album cover, as well as clothes for her! Yayy I own a piece of Stephen Sprouse-designed art!

Crazy Fun weekend



Here are one of my best friends, Shannon and I headed out to see Motor at Venue this past Sunday night. We weren’t dressed like the majority of the people there and so apparently we looked like we were “from Germany, here to see Motor”. Good times with Shan Non.
