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



I didn't know Chewbacca had a sportswear line!
