Wannabe A Wildcat?!

{cat eye sunnies fr f21}

My unwashed hair and messy room are so not blogworthy right now, I apologize... but I figured with the rainbow it is. You'll be happy to know that I recently won my very first (of probably many) Ebay bid consisting of a battle between me and some other dude which I thought was quite exhilarating. I am so competitive! Thankfully I prevailed... the new app combined with my madd skills make for a winning team so now I have a $6 wireless camera remote coming my way. Oh the opportunities that will come about without having to run back and forth to press the shutter! Inside, outside, whatever (as long as I'm in direct line-of-sight and only 16ft away, supposedly haha). I love how Calgary weather is just so unpredictable: this morning the trees were frosted with white stuff then by the time I got out of lectures Mr. Sunshine had made it all go away. Time to pull out the sunnies! I've decided to give my Ray Ban's a longer spring break before I use the shit out of them again this summer, so these cat-eyes substitute for the classic wayfarer silhouette perfectly (purrfectly?). To be honest I never thought I'd be able to rock such frames but I'm in love and apparently all of Alexander Wang and Linda Farrow's wannabe friends are too this season... so I bought 2 pairs. One for me and one for... you?

These Are Not Jeans

{aritzia blog}

...but they're just as dope as denim.
I admit I didn't really look twice at these in person, but after seeing this post today - um, now I want them more than ever?
Damn good marketing, gets me every time... even when it's from the company that I work for.

Club Chrissie & Coney Island

The evolution of the "lookbook":
To showcase Sophomore's S/S2010 collection, designer Chrissie Miller has stepped into a whole different world of media and has created this ten-minute film, shot by LA-based photographer and frequent collaborator, Cass Bird. THE END RESULT IS LIKE NO OTHER.

Miller is a native New Yorker and appropriately, the film is set in New York's legendary hang-out Coney Island. It's there, in the summer dens of the New York kids who didn't have the money for the Hamptons, that a cast of Miller's friends, shot documentary style, tell stories about their lives past and present. They flirt, flick cigarettes and muse about their first kisses and first arrests, on the inevitably romantic boardwalk.

Inspired by a 90s documentary about the tough broads of Wildwood New Jersey (long before the days of Snooki and JWow, but with a similar kindred energy), the film captures the nostalgia and the insatiable mythologizing of fleeting teenage moments. "It reminds us what it's like to be that age and how that period of life shapes who you are," says Chrissie, who herself makes a brief appearance on film during a smooch session with boyfriend Leo Fitzpatrick.

"Sophomore as a brand is really about being comfortable and being honest. And being OK with who you are, living on the edge," said Cass after the showing. "And Coney Island is on the chipping block right now and you can see the expiration on sight. That's what youth is really all about. It ends really quickly."
