I'm going to London next week! It was a last minute thing which kind of makes it even more exciting. I've never been and I can't wait. Source: Fashion Does it Better.

what is your drink of choice?

I'm all about vodka sodas these days. Mainly, because if I spill, it's no big deal. Last year I drank vodka cranberries at a white party... not a good look. Source: Cobrasnake.

modelizing

Why do we have such a fascination with models? I wish I had been fully aware of fashion in the nineties era of the supermodel and the holy Trinity (Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, and Christy Turlington). Here are a few backstage and pre/post show flicks of models to help cure my model fixation. Source: modelcouture.

bandage

I bought this black, tight-fitted bandage-style dress at H&M yesterday and wore it to Circa Nightclub in Toronto last night. You can't see the bandage detailing with this picture taken on my always broken Blackberry, but it was a great find and only set me back about forty bucks. The zipper all the way down the front is the bomb.

stylewatch: lou doillon

Daughter of Jane Birkin, Lou is French and fabulous. Lou reminds me of that nerd in your class in high school that had potential and then suddenly turned into the hippest girl at university. Her perma-dishevelled hair, awkward stance, and skinny frame whisper dweeb, but her clothes scream rock star. It shouldn't be long before she’s known simply as Lou, along with the other one-name-onlys.

Her fashion motto: "It's better not to look your best so that people can imagine that the best is really much better.'" (The Guardian)
