You know the girls I am talking about, we knew them in high school, see them on the sidewalks and now in the blogosphere. They look perfectly put together, not a hair out of place, red lipstick still in tact and not a crease in their clothes. They almost look unreal, like porcelain figurines and I mean that in the most complimentary way. I’ve never been the type to look perfect, even on my wedding day my hair was uncurling over my ear.

Piksi of Finland: Look at those lovely pin curls! This is her being featured on HelLooks. She has the most unique pieces in her wardrobe.
VitaminInMotion of Sweden: Like my comment on this pic said “Sigh, love the expression and slumped shoulders”.


Casey from Viginia: Think delicate vintage blouses, 50s halter dresses and a killer smile.
No Signposts of Finland: Her style centres around a full wardrobe of pale prettiness, as well as the best tights and kneesocks.

Ranna also Finland: It’s like Ranna was transplanted here straight from the stylish times of mid last century.
Apirl of Vancouver (my city!):Her furniture alone is covet worthy and I love how much her style can changes each day from vintage vixen, adorable geek and today gothic!

What a fabulous photo featured on Conspicere.

Luckily the sun came out yesterday afternoon, just in time for the long weekend. Our plans are simple, watch movies, sleep in, cook, watch some more movies. Last night was Sixteen Candles and Apocalypse Now on tv, unfortunately I feel asleep before the end of Apocalypse Now and missed the last 45 minutes! It was so good, now I must rent it to see the end. I got some concert tickets yesterday that I’m excited about. September and October will be busy with CSS, We Are Wolves, Gogol Bordello and Yelle. I also wanted to see Lykee Li, but she plays same night as Yelle.

I have been rewatching My So Called Life on youtube (yes, all 19 episodes are there!). When the show aired I was 13, Angela was 15 and she was (90s speak) like my hero or something. The show was very realistic in it’s portrayal of the relationships we had as teenagers with our friends, parents, crushes. I too crushed on someone who had a great way of leaning. We would get into more trouble then our parents knew about, love them more then we would ever show and I have to say the stories played out fairly similar. The biggest bummer is the fact the show was canceled in it’s first season leaving so many question unanswered. You can tell they were setting up story lines to play out over the years, Jordon would obvioulsy break Angela’s heart again, Rayanne would get more out of control, Angela would eventually ‘like’ Brian I’m sure, her parents possible divorce. Many die hard fans still exist, there is even an awesome website devoted to My So Called Life with future episodes written by fans.
Then there is the fashion influence, Clearly in grunge mode Angela and Rayanne were constantly in some sort of plaid, dark lipstick and doc martens. In the first episode Angela colors her hair to a vibrant red. Jordon and his amazing fur collared jacket and man-chocker.

Rickie had the most fashion forward style on the show, like below in this band leader jacket, eyeliner and over geled hair. Although I did have the same plaid dress as Angela wears in the below pic (Rayanne in tiedye!), I think at 13 I dressed more like geeky Sharon Cherski.
