stylist of the week

so here's what i want to know: why don't more stylists have websites? i mean, what is the what?! you work in a visual media... make yourself a g.d. website already!

anyways. i'm okay. sorry. about that. phew!

not stylist of the week

sorry friends. the stylist of the week is postponed till later. in the week. because i have to drive to calgary right away, and i had put off packing, so i spent the morning doing that instead of looking at stylists. but i am bringing a bag o' magazines with me (to calgary) so don't worry! there'll be a stylist! eventually.

also, both my ladies cancelled on me today (wha?!) so there was no lunch. no leaving the house. no outfit. it's a shame, because there was gonna be dark burgundy lipstick today. oh well. another day. in the mean time. (MEAN!)

check out these shoes i can only assume adidas made especially for me:



(i am incredibly 'fly', as they say.)

man oh man! i can't wait till i get one! probably not through the post, though. the real one. cause. dogs don't keep well in the post.

oh man!

in other news. fashion challenge was derailed this week, when it was decided that the ladies who lunch would be meeting at a home, rather than at a restaurant. so. the outfit never did make it out the door - because wearing it out to someone's house does not qualify as a fashion-challenge. no. it must be OUT out. but i was wearing the outfit of choice when the news of lunch-location was delivered. i was totally ready with the outfit. so you still get to see it! it'll just have to go out some other day. maybe even a not-wednesday-day!
hipskirt! made by josee. awesome. and hippy. and purple suede heels from the mom (from boston!). and did i mention the hips?

in case you were worried.

some of you might be thinking:

'hmmm. i don't know about this whole "fashion-thing" erin is into. isn't it all a bit shallow? isn't it all a bit girly-girl-girlpants?' (i know a certain sarah t.dot thinks things like this sometimes. sometimes she thinks i've been fashion-brain-washed.)

but don't worry. yesterday i went to homedepot to buy some wood for canvas stretchers, and i got really really excited about this:



so. i still have other interests too. don't worry.

stylist of the week

oh man. ohmanohman. are you ready for this? i don't think you are. man. this is a good one.

vanessa reid.

i can't seem to find a website for her. very strange... but. i do know she lives in paris. and works for missoni. and she is known for working with/mixing patterns. which makes sense... what with her working for missoni.

but holy cow. okay. get ready for these. ready? good.

MODELS AS OLD LADIES!!! and two of my favourite models to boot... jessica stam (who is canadian) and lily cole (who is british).

stylist of the week

brana wolf

she does work for harper's bazaar. and i do believe she was the stylist for versace's recent runway shows, and print and runway for michael kors too.



they're coming RIGHT OUT OF THE HEDGE!



(i'm pretty into the bralette type thing right now.)

and another thing about wednesdays: wednesdays now host the weekly meeting of the ladies who lunch - abra, maria and i. and i have set myself a new challenge for these lunches. fashion-bravery. today was the first. edmonton is a hard place to be at all adventurous with the clothings. so. on wednesdays, for lunch at least, i have to wear an outfit i'm nervous about. something i would normally put on, question, fidget around in, then take off again. no taking it off! not on wednesday... wear it! be comfortable! be brave! fashion-brave! this week: a body con dress paired with the thigh-high boots, and a sparkly turtle ring... i might maybe wear this out in the nightime maybe, but i haven't been brave enough to leave the house in it what with the daylight. but i did do. cause it's wednesday!
