free nylon & dresses

I don't even know how my wonderful boyfriend discovered this, but it's a dress that I would absolutely love to wear. Then again, I don't doubt that I would absolutely destroy it in seconds. Or, like my boyfriend fears, I would get paper cuts all over my body and probably dye it red. This is a dress made by Jolis Paons, completely made out of phone book pages! (Source)
For my Creative Processes class I designed and made this paper dress purely out of phonebook paper! I pleated, stuck, sewed, and glued everything by hand.

And lots of thanks to DreamEcho, I have learnt that Nylon and Urban Outfitters have decided to bring Canadians and Americans another one year of Nylon magazine subscription! For free! How fabulous is this? Sign up soon—while supplies last! (Source)

My boyfriend has advised me that it's all gone. Sorry, loves! If I find goodies, I'll try and remember to share!

If you haven't heard of The Sartorialist, well, listen up. Scott Schuman has spent 15 years in the fashion industry and founded this wonderful blog to showcase fashion across the globe. This blog has been publicized in magazines and newspapers worldwide. The outfits he find on the streets of some of the most influential cities in the world are raw, inspirational, glamourous, and worn by everyday people! Forget fashion models. We should be looking to our neighbours for fashion advice! There are always fabulous outfits, but this one really spoke to me. The pieces really come together despite the mismatched colours. It's something I would totally wear, and, oh, the accessories! (Source)

grey, grey sky

With winter approaching and the weather getting frigid, it's no surprise that grey is a big hit amongst fashion gurus lately. Mind you, colour is definitely in this season and many are taking advantage of incredibly bright hues that will make your outfit pop. Knitted sweaters and cardigans are also very popular. With that said, I think I will still agree to these featured outfits below and stick to my greys.

simple; layered; complex

I absolutely adore the fashionistas at lookbook.nu. They've got great style and really know how to dress. From all over the world, young adults get to show off their best outfits and strut their stuff on a simple and perfect website. How I wish I had an invitation code. If you happen to read this and have got one to spare, consider sending one my way!
Here are some of my favourite outfits as of late:

Not only is this gorgeous Canadian girl stylish and fun, she's got fabulous shoes! Look at those wedges! Love her multi-colour nails too!

This Canadian cutie is showing off her layers of stockings, knee-high socks and boots. Love the shades she's got going on. Laces stockings are totally hot this winter.

Shifting the focus away from the beautiful Californian sun, this San Diego girl is sporting two layers of black (three on the left) with a belt to top it off, stockings and Mary Janes to seal the deal. Gotta love Forever 21.
