Young Love: Laura Pannack

We've all had our share of love and the many complex feelings that comes along with it. Photographer Laura Pannack's recent photo series, titled Young Love, depicts the wonderful innocence young people bring to their relationships. Because let's face it, unless you've married your first love at a very young age, we inevitably become tainted.


Being young and stupid maybe isn't such a bad thing after all.

Double duty: Mads Perch

British fashion/Music photographer Mads Perch's uses color and his subject at it's very best- I suddenly feel like painting my walls a really bright color.

Cheer-io 2009

It's the end of an era folks. I took these photos during my last visit in London- how I love Brighton's pebbled beach and perfectly delicious fish & chips. Looking at these reminds me how important it is to look forward to things- whatever it is your hoping for. A career lift-off, moving to a different country, finding true love, or more importantly- finding more interesting things to blog about.

What Katie Wore

Everyday for a whole year, Joe posts a photo of Katie. Call it the Julia & Julia equivalent to fashion blogging. I though of doing this for 2010, however then I realized how competitive I'd get and probably end up spending every penny I have on fashion items instead of spending it on normal stuff, like a broken 1940's still camera or Hello Kitty place mats.

Blogs with style: Bouji Behavior

Blogs with stylish layouts should be praised (and perhaps not envied). This blog is an homage to all things minimalist- no posts or lengthy 'about me', just images or quotes from admirable people and artists. Simple is the new black.

Vintage Mayhem

Bugger- I've been bitten by the vintage bug. I say this because I've been spending most of my free time trying on shoes at Friperies, then coming come to go look for more items online, while being totally amazed at how many vintage blogs there are out there. It's old, kind of new and it's been around longer then I have- love it! A 1950's snow flake pattern sweater? My heart is melting! 1960's Woody Allen glasses? Somebody catch me, I've fallen in love!

In honor of my love for all things vintage, I've joined the Vintage Society. I heart Vintage!

Time to light it up

To whoever is reading this- sorry if I haven't posted anything lately. Came across this lovely flikr page by Colette Rochelle. I'm loving the lights! Happy Holidays!!

Montreal Plateau Scene: Cool According to The New York Times

Mile end boutiques, 3am poutines at La Banquise, delicious restaurants and eccentric independent galleries- some of the many wonderful things Montreal has to offer. Thanks NYT! Photo is from Bodybag by Jude, a lovely Mile End shop at 17 Bernard Ouest.

Stella says no to fur

I read this article a few weeks ago and bookmarked it to remind myself how important it is to be principled. A proud vegetarian, Stella Mccartney tells The Guardian the ruthless nature of the fashion industry when it comes to fur and leather.

Rebekka Gudleifs: Self Portrait Goddess

I was searching for some inspiration a few months ago as I was gathering ideas for a self-portrait series. A colleague of mine recommended Rebekka Gudleifs. Originally from Iceland, her photos are taken with great precision (each rock in the photo above was painted blue, NOT photoshop'ed) and are remarkably beautiful.

Anna Higgie

With a growing client list with big names such as The Guardian and Waterstones, there's no doubt the talented Anna Higgie is on the high rise.

Oxford shoes: a chunky ankle's nightmare

They're slick, masculine, vintage and classic. They make skinny jeans look slightly more dressy, flowy dresses more casual. It's the in-between shoe; comfortable and casual like a sneaker, dressy like a pump. Just like any fashion trend, one must consider the most important question: sure it's a gorgeous shoe, but will it look good on me? All you thick ankled ladies- think twice before dropping $$$ on this male inspired (but female mastered) shoe. I've been so tempted to get a pair, but everytime I try them on, my ankles disappear and i magically seem shorter and stompier then usual.

Damn you skinny ankled bitches!!!

If I were a skinny ankle bitch, THESE would be my pic:
