Handbag Planet

So, Handbag Planet is running an awesome contest right now: they're giving 'em away free! Not only that, you get to choose the one you want to win. That's infinitely better than getting a free ugly. No one likes free ugly.

Anyways, there are a lot of different styles and sizes of bags- I personally selected a shiny cherry red with a big bow DON'T STEAL MINE- so I highly suggest you check it out.

Yes, you.

Our little group has always been and always will until the end

I remember grunge. Not very well- it peaked when I was eight or nine- but I remember it well enough. Also, I still listen to all the music. I miss grunge. I miss it so much I almost paid $70 to see Mudhoney a couple weeks ago, until I remembered that they probably suck now.

So, when ShopBop sent one of their helpful emails the other day, extolling the grunge look as, like, so very in for fall, I was intrigued.


Gwen Stefani may know a think or two about punk glamour, as the write-up says (I would take issue with this, but what do I know?), but "punk glamour" is faaaaaar from grunge. Yes, I could see David Bowie wearing them, but not anyone who was in Mother Love Bone.


Oh, right, I think Eddie Vedder owns, like, three of these!


Are these...um...I mean...seriously? These are tights?


Yeah, I think Nirvana wore these in different colours on their last tour. Actually, I could see Kurt Cobain rocking this, but I could see him rocking just about anything. Krist Novoselic, on the other hand, would have looked a little dumb.


...aaaaaaaaaaaand I got nothing. It's so inexplicable and impossible to understand, I'm going to call it "Miss Tyra."

...I'd wear it, though.



I'm out. Gonna break out the 7 Year Bitch and read the latest SubPop newsletter.

What Annushka Wore

Bleh, what a horrible week. I've been alternately packing and panicking, also making room for a really ridiculous row with a crazy person. I seriously had to style myself sane today.

Iridescent red and blue button-down velvet shirt (Express about eleven years ago)
Grey tank top with silver stars (H&M, Toronto)
Dark wash, trouser-style jeans (306, Toronto)
Black metallic accordion-pleated silk and suede platforms (Brown's, Toronto)
Maroon bead-and-ribbon choker (Stolen from a friend)
Pink flower mandala earrings (Boom Babies, Syracuse, NY)

SHIT GODDAMN

What Annushka Wore

Dammit! I really wish I'd been able to photograph my outfit today- I looked so fucking cute! Oh, well. Maybe I'll recreate this look in a few days and take pictures then. In the meantime, here's a list of what I wore today:

DKNY black tank (The Crossroads outlet mall, Pennsylvania, USA)
Designs by Naomi black cropped hoodie (Designs by Naomi, Yorkville, Toronto, Canada)
Red wraparound skirt with multi-colored metallic floral print (Barcelona, Spain)
Purple tights
Blue patent leather slingbacks (Franco Sarto)
Asymmetrical lapis beaded necklace (Israel)
Black and red crystal oval dangly earrings (Butterfly, Kensington Mart, Toronto, Canada)

Teese Me

I've got some kind of killer death-fuck flu, so I'm not exactly feeling fashionable- I'm wearing a pair of black capris that are about six sizes too big for me, and a t-shirt from a marathon my mother's college roommate's husband ran in 1986- but I couldn't help but get excited when I heard that Dita Von Teese is designing a line of lingerie for Wonderbra. I couldn't find any mention of the collection on the main Wonderbra site, but thanks to Marie Claire I did find some pictures:



Hmmm...I'm not that enthused based on these two photos, but maybe the stuff will be cuter in person? I'm also pre-bitter, as I'm certain that, like all attractive and/or celebrity lingerie lines, it won't be available in my size. Which is huge. I swear to god, my bra tags actually say "Size: HUGE TRACTS OF LAND."

Oh, well. It could be worse. She could be shilling faux-absinthe like her ex-husband. (This site must be been to be believed.)

I also found the commercial for Dita's line, so if you're a fan of talking pictures, check it out:
