Kurt Cobain: About a Son is the best doc on Kurt I've ever seen and is one of my favorite films. Breathtaking footage set to a great soundtrack and Cobain's gravelly slacker voice saying everything you've felt before so eloquently. Much better than those doc channel half-hour ones that show one childhood photo of Kurt in Ken Burns effect repeatedly.
Sooo walking home from school with my little sister Moodle (http://mumsraybans.tumblr.com/) beholds some very interesting converstations. We always wonder how someone listening in omnisciently would react to our far-fetched witticisms. Yesterday's topic of conversation was based on hypothesizing (or rather fantasizing) about what our various celebrity male muses would indulge in if given the opportunity to go for pie with us. As Robert Sheehan is often the subject of many voice raising conversations between me and Moodle, he was the first to be objectified and labelled as a certain "pie-type."
In his role as Nathan on Misfits, Robert Sheehan is an obnoxious yet darkly hilarious delinquant with an Irish accent which made us immediately think of pumpkin pie. Not so obvious to you? Not surprised. Much deliberation was involved in making this decision, including assessing the "type" that would eat pumpkin pie. We have concluded with proverbial scientific proof that quirky, borderline crazy personalities eat pumpkin pie: Shane Botwin from Weeds, Lord Voldemort, Jorma Taccone from Lonely Island, and Iggy Pop are prime examples of that...again emphasis on proverbial scientific proof. We did take "a nice pear and rasberry cobbler" into consideration, mostly at the thought of Robert Sheehan ordering that in his sweet accent, but still remain firm in our pumpkin pie decision. My vote was also swayed by the fact that pumpkin pie is my all-time favorite and so is Robert Sheehan...check out Misfits on youtube if you haven't already!
Finally I get to listen to the song I was pining for along the Pacific Coast Highway! This song was was conveniently deleted off my iPod on our California road trip last week but listening while reminiscing when I upload the photos will just have to do.
This is what I brought to Toronto for my OCAD University interview (my Nirvana shirt seems to give me good luck so here it is once again!). I was inspired by Kimberly from Wildfox's blog post showing what she packed for a short trip.
I've been into minimalism lately..not necessarily Calvin Klein or extreme modern minimalism but the thought of living off what you essentially need..I feel like I'm growing closer to my goal of traveling as light as possible- it's my problem of buying very heavy magazines wherever I go that weighs my suitcase down the most. Good thing I fully accept my magazine habit and am not going to condemn myself for finally finding Lula Spring 2011 (!).

Street style from Paris via Stockholm Street Style. Doesn't the fisheye add an even more intimate feel to street style? I'm really loving the subjects' giddy grins and cat eye glasses. Paris fashion week is my favorite because not only does it have some of the best collections showing, but the street style also features beautiful Parisian sceneries. I'm sooo excited for the Miu Miu and Sonia Rykiel shows!
I also have to say that I am eagerly anticipating Chloe in hopes that Hannah McGibbon will mix things up at least a little bit and STOP WITH THE BEIGE. I miss the old Paulo Melim Chloe girl. I'd like to see some "statement" shoes or at least some interesting fabrics and cuts. We'll just have to wait and see...
