If I could find a real place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's...

This is a photo from a trip to New York a couple years ago. My friends and I each bought matching sterling silver rings from Tiffany's to commemorate the trip. Since graduating, we are spread across the globe at various graduate schools and jobs however whenever I look at the ring (which I wear everyday) I am reminded of the amazing times we had in the Big Apple.

Racked

The website Racked does a weekly feature called "Working It" which focusses on street style in the office. For this week's edition, they spotlighted SSENSE, including yours truly's apparently very tired self. Check out the whole post here. You can see I miss no opportunity to berate Crocs as an unacceptable mode of footwear.

Mullet. Sequins. Omg.

My friend send me a link to this dress on Nasty Gal and I fell in huge, huge like. This dress not only has sequins but is a MULLET DRESS. Those are pretty much the two best features one could incorporate into a dress. Unfortunately, I am saving my monies for a purchase from work so I can't buy it as this point in time buuuuuuut one of you should buy it and tell me how it has changed your life.

Ps. The hairstyle equivalent is this 

Versace for H&M

New campaign video for Versace for H&M (which arrives in stores November 19th). While I'm on the fence about whether the clothes are worth waking up at 5 am and waiting in a massive line for, I do think that this promo is pretty awesome, cheeky, and trippy. I assume that its underlying message is that the whole world is a stage and we are merely puppets monitored and controlled by Donatella. Thoughts?

Long Live Redheads

Seriously though, redheads rule. I might be a bit biased in saying that as I have red - or, as I prefer to call it, strawberry blonde - hair but in the age of stupid South Park episodes and incredibly ignorant acts like this, my hair colour needs all the positive reinforcement it can get. While I used to hate my hair colour when I was younger because it made me stick out from my peers and led them to call me not-so-brilliant nicknames, I love my hair now because it makes me unique (I am the 1%!). And while I may have to wear SPF 85 whenever I go out in the sun, at least I will have wrinkle-free skin when I'm 40, goddammit!
Thankfully, the fashion industry recognizes the beauty of my genetic mutation. Supermodels Karen Elson and Lily Cole have starred in countless editorials and ad campaigns (for Elson, most recently and notably this). Other up-and-coming redheaded models such as Olga Sherer and Chantal Stafford-Abbott were featured extensively in the S/S 12 shows. Additionally, the omnipresent Marie Claire editor Taylor Tomasi Hill has been snapped by many a street style photographer (she's not a true redhead but her efforts are oh so appreciated).
So I say, to the redheads of the world, never let the haters stop you from doing your thing.

Ugh. Mondays.

My exact pose on my desk right now (slightly less glamourous though)
