105; Sugarless GiRL (aka New Do; aka End of the World Eve?)









Jacket: TJ Maxx • Sweater: second-hand • Shorts: c/o Sugarlips Apparel • Shoes: Sam Edelman • Tights: JCPenny + DIY • Shortest + longest necklaces: c/o Vaness Mooney • Medicine pouch necklace: Salem, MA






Will this be my last post? Will we live to see Saturday? Is the world truly doomed to disaster come the dawn of Friday, the 21st? Does anyone really care anymore? (Though if the world does come to a sudden, jarring end, it means I don't have to show up for work...)

Oh yes, check out my hair! While I loved my previous hairstyle, I decided it was time for something new. I miss having symmetrical shaggy hair, plus I wanna rock the androgynous look for a little bit. I guess this is something vaguely like a pixie cut? I have no idea. I'm too lazy to Google it and compare.

I nearly kinda cried when I saw that Vanessa Mooney had sent me a package of jewels. "Ermagerd" is probably the most appropriate and accurate summation of my reaction once I realised what was newly in my possession -- except with, I will admit, much more uncontrolable exclaimation.


And of course, appropriate gloating gratitude was expressed on Instagram the moment it happened.


So these shorts are pretty awesome. Snake print cut outs? Uh, yes please, and thank you. Sugarlips Apparel always has amazing stuff don't they?








You could make some seriously great gothic get-ups (see what I did there?) with their pieces, as well as some beautiful boho outfits. I hope to continue working with their clothes because I get freaking whiplash just from the inspiration I get looking at their clothes. I'm surprised at how well the brand is doing, sourcing out to places like Nasty Gal, Macy's, Nordstrom... How awesome is that!


Head's up, remember when I talked about Geek USA, who sent me that beautiful vintage dress? The owner is running a huge moving sale, everything 50% off! Go check it out -- sale ends on January 1st!

Gotta cut this post short and wrap some presents, then I have a date with some 90s sitcoms on Netflix. #FraiserMarathon4Lyf


Also the nonsensical title totally means something, I assure you:



This song plagues my life in the most wonderful way.

101; I bless the rains down in Africa








Dress: c/o Geek USA Vintage Belt: Tunnel Vision vintage Shoes: Sam Edelman via TJ Maxx Scarf: Fanneuil Hall, Boston Tights: JCPenny destroyed Necklace: birthday gift Arrowhead earcuff: eBay Earrings: vintage






THIS DRESS! I can't look at this dress without getting Toto's "Africa" stuck in my head...and that is totally okay. This is a marriage of my favourite colours -- black, red, orange, gold -- PLUS fringe. Heaven.

Kelsey of Geek USA was extremely kind and generous to me when she sent me a package of vintage goodies. She is such a wonderful lady! She is truly driven by a love for vintage fashion and if you strike up a conversation with her, you can just feel the pure joy and enthusiasm through the pixels and font. It made receiving this dress (and two other beautiful items; you'll see!) such a pleasure and a privilege. I don't like accepting collaborative items unless they're really unique, to stand out in the outfits I style them in and make you stop and notice, and a lot of her stuff is STATEMENT.

She is so awesome that she and I are joining forces to give you readers a FREE SHIPPING discount code when you shop Geek USA, effective for two weeks!


That easily knocks off $6 on average, and even more if you're buying shoes or a jacket! I really do urge you to take a moment and browse Geek USA; she has tons more in her stock than what she has listed on her store, and with an email she will be more than happy to share with you all of the beautiful vintage clothes that she has ready to sell. Also? She's up for bartering, on everything. Haggling prices plus free shipping? Sweet.

Here are some of my personal favourites from what she has listed on her Etsy:
