creature of comfort

Sometimes the simple things are the best things. I'm wearing my current favourite loafers, as well as a bag I picked up at the Saatchi Gallery when I visited in the summer.

Wearing: Vintage sweater, Wilfred trousers, Surface to Air loafers.

An early christmas gift?

Hear ye hear ye - all ye fat n jellus, salvation has arrived in the form of yet more wise words from the Panty Mantis.

No longer need you be sad and melancholic of your unworthyness. No longer need you cry into your family sized tubs of lard the PM has spoken words of comfort to us all!

In a recent interview she had reportedly said the following

"But now I always see myself as, like, equal to everyone."

OMG

Can it be true?

Is the fat and jellus crusade over as suddenly as it began? let me read on......

...... ah No - rightful order in the world is restored

"I can't feel bad about being who I am, just like the girl next to me can't feel bad about being who she is. Because a rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose."

that sounds like her version of "all men are equal, its just that some are more equal than others.."

Still, at least she wants us all to "embrace our own uniqueness"..... I guess thats back to the Lard and the specially adapted fridge then fatties !

What have we here?

While I have definitely lost enthusiasm for all things Panty Mantis

(i.e. PM, you can stop emailing me - I don't care how 'seksy" you are, I know Im "jus jellus", I "totally" believe that you understand the difference between at teaspoon and a tablespoon (honestly I do) and I definitely haven't seen Orlando's balls anywhere)

I couldn't let this one past... what is she wearing above her eyes??? Im so confused I'll offer a prize of a tub of lard for the best answers.

it can all disappear

Things always seem to move too quickly, don't they? I can barely believe it's already mid-November. Months ago, Christmas seemed eons away, and here I am already booking things for December 2012!

I'm wearing a top sent to my by the wonderful girls at Stylestalker (thanks Rachel!). It is floaty and the perfect balance between sexy and all-done-up. Also wearing my trusty Wilfred leather leggings (a perennial fall favourite) and my favourite heels of the moment, bought at Joseph in London a few months ago. They remind me of turtles... in a totally good way?

a temperate autumn day

This is a pretty standard outfit for me during the fall. Some form of slip dress over opaque tights + a kimono from my ever-growing collection = easy dressing. Also wearing a necklace that MyNameNecklace was kind enough to send me. I had it engraved with the name of someone who is very important to me, which is also one of my middle names.

Attitude by Jay Manuel

During LG Fashion Week, I was invited to attend the Attitude by Jay Manuel show, who, as most of you will remember, is Mr. Jay on America's Next top Model. The clothes themselves had great prints and were very wearable, but for me, the real star of the show was the styling, which made every piece look totally resort-ready. You can see more looks from the show here.

Thanks to Matchstick PR and Sears Canada for inviting us bloggers to the show and dressing us in Attitude by JM from head to toe. x E

halloween: Grace Kelly

I thought I'd post some photos of my Halloween costume! This year a few of my friends went as Hollywood icons, including Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. I dressed up as Grace Kelly, someone whose style and grace I have always admired. I worked really hard on my costume and I was so happy with it. Everything I'm wearing is from my vintage collection (aside from my shoes, which were last worn at my Grade 12 prom) and I even did my own hair and makeup! I usually prefer to get those things done professionally for events like this, as I'm absolutely useless at doing my own, but I'm quite proud of how both turned out.
My puppy Bella thinks that she's my equal in every way, so she acted like a diva until she finally got her photograph taken too. Hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween. x E

Happy Belated Halloween Fatties

I know you have all been very busy with you Lard parties (as have I of course). Interestingly the PM has also been focussing her efforts on halloween ..



....... funnily enough she dressed up as a praying mantis (in glittery panties) to shake things up a bit. Just a small word of advice though PM - perhaps you should diary check with your other VS models next year?

Holy Moly had this to say on the subject

"Generally New York fared much better than the west coast over the weekend (Paris Hilton as She-Ra - yuk), although Miranda Kerr's party, which she foolishly scheduled to run consecutively alongside Klum's, looked a bit flat, with the supermodel as circus ring leader (with an empty big top). "

Shame on you HM (and welcome to the ranks of the fat n jellus)
