My week in fashion

I had a head wrap phase borne of utter reluctance to comb my hair.
My mom loved this one.

She hated this one and tried to get me to take it off.
I staunchly refused, nothing was going to make me comb my hair.

Then I combed it, it was surprisingly easy. Hmm.

Same look but with my blazer, it's kinda chilly.
Plus I had bows in  my hair! SEE?

And the outfit from the UGG party. Still not the best picture but I don't look like a hobo in this one.
More like Yvonne Chaka Chaka... Pfft! Beats hobo anyday!

UGG Opening Party/Epiphany

It usually bugs me when I don't update this blog. I know I'm all about dressing people up but let's face it, how many times can I shove people into clothes and make it exciting? Granted the pictures are cool (still have to upload shoot three by the way) but every once in a while it'd be cool to look at other things, like ME! Kidding. No seriously, me. -__-

Lol. So today I realized something. I go to way too many cool events and just neglect to blog about them. Like I said, it's cool when I dress people up but frankly, the coolest things happen when I'm just living my life and being generally insane. So, in keeping with this epiphany (and the surge of energy I got from the large coffee I just consumed); I have decided to blog about my fashionable life, in addition to my shoots as well. That way there's always something to read about. Cool? Cool.

Tonight, I went to the opening party for UGG Toronto. It was an invite-only kinda thing (why, yes I am fancy). Anyways, none of my plus ones could make it so I went stag (yeah, I'm cool enough to hang out alone at a party) <--- what is with these side comments? Oh well, below are my faves from the collection. from the cool to the way over the top to the OH-MY-GOD-KILL-ME-NOW-IT'S-SO-CUTE. You'll figure out which falls into what category. :)

LOVE this bag!

WANT these shoes

Physically restrained myself from grabbing these and making a dash for it.

DIED of cuteness overload. They're so wittle!

WOAH! Spark-l-ey!

Copped a sec in the spotlight. Is my camera shyness showing? Lol

Not the best picture of me but wallahi, it was pretty cool. I walked in and the photographer wanted a picture of me, aw yeah, told you I was fancy. And the stares I got in this outfit? Holy! Including but not limited to underage guy on train with braids in his hair. Staring at me all intense like "hey baby", LOL! "No thanks Bow wow," I said with a pointed once over, "Not tonight." Adios!

Color me beautiful

This shoot was way back in June but I only had time now to upload the pictures. I had one thought the week I decided to do this one: colors. I just wanted colors everywhere. I conscripted a photographer and bullied my beautiful friends into colorful clothes. The results were well worth the hours spent. Make-up and styling was all me. However as always, the kudos goes to these lovely ladies, Zyrelle, Mirabelle, Tracy (my willing and patient photographer who's not pictured but still appreciated) and Iva my last minute, reluctant but game model; for putting up with me bravely and making it all come together. Love you guys. Loads!

Andrea and Zyrelle came to visit!

As always, the urge to put poor defenseless people in clothes came over me and I conscripted Andrea and Zyrelle (two of the sweetest people I've ever known!) to come over and play. They came, poor Andrea had a cold but she kept smiling. Once again I subjected two people to hours of getting in and out of clothes and endless fussing. It was good times! Heart them both for coming. <3 Makeup, styling, photog all done by me. Pictures turned out pretty okay (who knew I had it in me? Lol) In order of appearance, the outfits are: All that Jazz, Spring fever (I totally just made that up cos I didn't name those ones! Lol) and last but not least, we have African Safari. (Mad love to my friend Ugonnia for letting me use that lovely vintage African dress on Andrea. You rule!)

Bowie got in one of Zyrelle's shots but the look she had was so devious and it kinda went with the black cat so I left it in there. So yeah, I totally meant to do that. This was so much fun!
