Blog roll: Shameless self-promotion.

TUMBLR.

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.

I've decided to expand my blogterprise (So? Blogterprise? Blog+enterprise? Get it?) and branch out to Tumblr, where I can duplicate content, as well as re-blog other people's post that I think you all should see too. ~Inspiration~

Also, the layout's so fun - particularly for me, because if I get lazy - I don't really have to write a thing. Productive slacking at it's finest, folks. I always find a way.

Blog roll: Rockstar diaries.

Today is Friday the 13th. Since most people are usually convinced that this day will bring them nothing but bad luck and bad times, I thought it would be appropriate to try and cheer everyone up.

How can you not crack a smile when you look at this bunch? I hate to say it, but they are so cute I can feel my cold, cold heart melting as I browse through their blog posts.

If you ever need to brighten your day a bit, I suggest having a look at what Naomi Davis and her stylish family are up to. Seriously, I cannot get over how cute they are. 

Blog roll: I Hurt I am In Fashion.

After the overwhelming popularity of a little video called, Sh*t fashion girls say, it occurred to me that I'm not actually the only person who's got a sense of humour about the fashion industry.

Exhibit A: I hurt I am in fashion.

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for an industry with such a wealth of creativity, but that's precisely the reason why I think people need to lighten up sometimes. It's fair to say that fashion is a business, and business is serious. I get that. However, in a place where there's such an abundance of eccentric minds and wild imaginations, you have to wonder how people who live their lives with such whimsy can somehow manage to look so bloody miserable all the time.

Have a laugh, folks! It's okay!

Blog roll: Taste of runway

Food and fashion, in my opinion, have never gone hand-in-hand. I mean, most of my wardrobe issues revolve around whether my rear-end has expanded beyond the confines of my jeans - almost always due to the countless calories I consume on a daily basis. (Sue me, I love carbs.)

Taste of Runway, simply put, is "a story of happiness, between an outfit and a recipe." The concept is simple: merge photos of delicious food with similar looking runway looks. A fiest for the eyes and the stomach.

Seeing as I'm a 'blogger,' it's always a little bit strange to be blogged about - because usually that's my job. Probably explains why I look startled and confused.

Blog roll: The man repeller

I'm sure almost everyone knows who the man repeller is. I'm also pretty sure everyone's seen her blog at least once.

What's a "man repeller" anyway? If the sleepwear-esque blouse worn outdoors, and bulky (velcro) designer sneakers with cocktail dress weren't indication enough - the term has been so humourously defined as: "outfitting oneself in a sartorially offensive way that will result in repelling members of the opposite sex. Such garments include but are not limited to harem pants, boyfriend jeans, overalls (see: human repelling), shoulder pads, full length jumpsuits, jewelry that resembles violent weaponry and clogs."

I can't remember when/how exactly I stumbled upon this gem of a blog, but I am so glad I did - especially because I am the proud owner of many - if not all - of the aforementioned garments that repel the opposite sex. Excluding of course, overalls, as I've tried to limit my repeller factor to men as opposed to the general population.

I could go on and on about all the reasons why I am a devout creeper of her blog (she's funny, a fantastic writer, her 'arm parties' are to die for, she mixes patterns, etc.). However, I think that you'll soon come to realize all of the reasons why you should be checking out the man repeller on the daily once you, well, check her out! So do it! Now!

Was that bossy? I'm sorry, you guys. I just get really excited. Let's try that again, shall we? Go check out her blog, please. I promise you'll love it.

*Shout out to my favourite guy for being attracted to (I think) and understanding my aesthetic. Takes a real man to not be repelled by harem pants. You're the best!

This is interesting.

Since I missed last week's 'blog roll' (SORRY!!!) I thought I'd just show you guys something I stumbled upon not too long ago, that I thought definitely needed to be shared.

I've talked about couples dressing alike/matching/co-ordinating a few times now, and I think that this project encompasses all of that perfectly and with a fantastic sense of humour.

The concept is so SIMPLE. That's why it works, I think. I also think that it's a testament to how good girls look in just about anything. All the time. These four sets are just my personal favourites, folks - there's plenty more where that came from. Check out photographer Hana Pesut's blog HERE. Enjoy!

Blog roll: Rookie Mag

Today's blog isn't quite a blog. It's actually an online publication whose Editor began as a blogger, so that counts, right? Well of course it counts - this is my blog after all, so what I say goes.

Basically, if I were a teenager again, I would be reading Rookie Mag on the regular.

My current favourite on the site is this little video of staff writer Arabelle getting her hair bleached and dyed by her dad, Danny.

I've had some experience with my mum dying my hair, so when Arabelle said, about parents dying their child's hair, "And that way you can sabotage your child's hair. So if you really didn't want to do it, you can mess it up, and they'll [you child] will hate you, and they'll never ask you to do it again, and they'll never do it [dye their hair] probably," I had a hearty LOL because - well, my mum knows why.

Blog roll: Cheap thrills

I haven't done one of these in quite a while - which isn't to say I haven't come across any blog-worthy blogs. I've just been too busy or too lazy, or too busy being lazy. Anyway, all that aside, I present to you, my pick for this week's installment of "blog roll": CHEAP THRILLS.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Raez, creator of CHEAP THRILLS, a few months ago, and I think that you all need to check her out, too. Not only does she have a great sense of style, but the girl is witty as hell - and she's currently plotting "a fool-proof zombie apocalypse survival plan."

If your style influences include (but are not limited to): The Olsens, Sci-Fi, Winnipeg - That's in Canada, for all of you out-of-towners - weather, and my personal favourite - because I can totally relate, Raez said she is influenced by her "student bank account," because "that's like what dictates it," then have a gander at her blog, you must.

If you don't, keep speaking like Yoda, I will.

Haha.

I won't lie to you - once upon a time, I thought getting asked to pose for a quick photo so someone can put it on their street style blog was just be the bees knees. If I ever stop you on the street and ask to snap your outfit, please at least pretend to be excited. I mean, come on! This is exciting stuff!

Blog roll: Textbook

"What Bellatrix Lestrange would wear." Photo via Textbook.

The Textbook blog has recently made its way into the lists of blogs I regularly check out, and so I think you should check it out too. John Jannuzzi, an editor at Lucky magazine is doing what most of us bookworms do in our heads: envision what our favourite literary characters would look like or wear if they were real people. He does so by "styling some crazy editorials for your favourite heroes and heroines," with the help of designer runway collections and couture. How cool is that?!

"What would Claudia the forever-child-vampire wear?"

Some of my favourites: Violet Baudelaire, from Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events," Dorian Gray, and Storm from X-men.
