"California"- The Kooks//Yyellowbird photography

I thought image no.1 looked familiar...oh yeah, it's from the Aritzia summer 2009 shopping bag! Imagine just starting up a Flickr one day for fun and then before you know it, a major chain store is featuring you on their shopping bags. Yyellowbird's scenes are just so perfect for this summer- blinding sunlight streaming, unfocused lights & sparkles, and hazy city views are the characterization of what I'm feeling right now. In those words exactly, all blended together with a soundtrack of the Kooks! Don't you wish you were in Cali right now?

One Oh One

What? An outfit post? Not really, just an homage to my Rodarte-inspired sweater (Wilfred).

I've discovered the joys of the Poladroid- it makes even the most boring photos fun.

Look forward to CRAZY FUN AND INTERESTING posts to come...when I'm not consumed by schoolwerk.

Sonia Rykiel...once again

How is it that Aritzia. always knows the best designers to take influence from? 1st it was Rodarte, now Sonia Rykiel, my fave Canadian retailer is always spot on with haute references.

Even though it's from 2 years ago, this design remains perfect in every way. This sweater has all of the most gorgeous colors ever smooshed into one lovely drapey-drop shoulder knit. Kudos: a perfect opportunity for Runway//Realway!
