ResoWHAT?

I've been thinking a lot about my new year's resolutions lately, and I think that first, it is most important to celebrate the ones you've checked off your list from years past. No, sadly, my bedroom is no tidier, and my taxes STILL haven't been filed, but I did take one big, very important step in my life. I whipped my lazy butt into shape and kept it that way. Since the day about 2 years ago when I realized my clothes didn't fit, I have lost 40 pounds. No secret. I said no to delicious things and discovered decent enough substitutions, I worked at the gym and still occasionally found room for Taco Bell.

Sometimes, you gotta go south of the border.

The coolest thing about gettin all trim is that I get to wear a wicked dress at my wedding that will be BOMB. But even better than that, I know I did it. As in, if I want something, I just have to go out there and DO it. So here are some things I wanna DO this year:

1) Get MURRIED. TO THIS:

 As of Jan. 21, consider it done.

2) Get some cute post-wedding photos done. It wasn't in our pre-wedding budget, but I'm making this a priority now!

3) Wear these pants to every possible function. Yes, they are lace. 

 "With good pants come good times."

 4) Re-friend my friends. And their lovers. Brittney, Sheryl, Ho, and all you other awesome people that BETTER be reading my blog-eroo, I miss you all so much. My job smells when it comes to being there for my friends, and I want to re-insert myself back into the cushy love that is being friends with you. Raf, Mysterious french lover and Jesse, nice to meet you.

5) Make my home pimp. My Ninja turtles and Snoop figures will always have their place in my home, but I gotta class it up a bit. Having recently discovered Pinterest, I am now home and hobby obsessed. I ain't no martha stewart, but I can damn well try to be!!! 

Rest safe, turtles gear. You always have a home here. 

So Happy New Year, friends and readers!!! I'll also shine up my tech skills and make this baby look nice. and. WILD.

Great Glasses!

Getting these new babies really peaked my interest in all of the awesome eyewear out there. For me, it is a necessity as I have the vision of a naked mole rat. I've always got a few pairs on the go, but they are always pretty cheap, Hakim optical always seems to ensnare me with some buy-one-get-one deal. But buyer beware, they really age badly and I always regret my purchase!!! So from now on, it's quality over quantity!!!

Here are the BEAUTIES that set me on a quest for big cat-eye glasses. Tom Ford, you brilliant bastard.

Because I KNOW if I have these, I'll look just like that. 

What I found, might actually be not too bad:

 

Closest I could come up with on a wedding budget.

I also came up with some pretty fab Sunglasses on etsy, for pretty cheap! (Which is brilliant for me, I have a bad habit of sitting on my sunglasses, whomp whomp)

NEW YEARS EVE DRESSES!

This was probably a pretty fun New Years...

The best part of a new year's eve in T.O. is the getting ready. The rest of the night (unless you are at a house party) becomes inevitable line ups, over-perfuming, cabs that have no room unless you've got 50 bones and the best part? YOU ALWAYS GO TO YOUR REGULAR PLACE. The same place you go every time you want a night out on the town. Make no mistake, I am not down on this ritual, this right of every twenty-something Toronto-ite. All i'm saying is nothing beats the feeling of playing the boomtang boys while putting on a new dress, that first glass of poison, and a whole night of debauchery ahead of you. 

What to wear?! I have no clue, here are some ideas for all you sexy retro ladies to toss around in the old noodle. Do something BRAVE this new years!!!

 

50's Red Velvet Cocktail Dress w/ bow at waist from MONSTERPEACE

 

Avant Garde 80's multicolored Velvet Mini from WILDTHINGVINTAGE

 

Weston Wear Pink 3D Swirl Bodycon Dress from GravelGhostVintage

 

80s High Waist Turquoise Houndstooth Skinny Pants from TarantulaSisters

 

80s Polka Dot Red and Black Peplum Cocktail Dress from CharmingGypsyVintage

These are some of my favorite Shops on Etsy, and some KILLER NYE looks. The best part? No one will show up wearing your dress!

Look what I made...

Subtle and small. That's so me.

Oh, to be young again...

I'm going through the "missing my short hair" phase. Not going through the "miss having no eyebrows" phase, however. 

Hey, Ke$ha...

Watch your back after school, Ima STEAL YOUR JACKET!

When good clothes happen to bad celebrities. 

Friends are great.

Sometimes, they do fun photoshoots with you for your etsy shop in a hotel room at the Mayfield.

Jacket and Shoes up on WILDTHING now. 

The best thing on Etsy right now is...

GET IN MY CLOSET. PRETTY PLEASE?

I'll even wear you with pale lips and heavy black eyes...

Beat me to it at ZWZZY on Etsy.

I want you so bad...

I want you so bad... by wildthingvintage featuring red boots

Okay, I already bought the American Flag Boots. I'm a blogger, that means it's in my contract to own a pair of Litas. 

R.I.P VERSACE

Gianni Versace would have been 65 today, and probably would have been just as fabulous (a Bondage inspired clothing line in the 90s? I want it NOW!) 


Alas, he is gone, but the beautiful house he built still stands as does his legend. Personally, I think he is the balls. The absolute Balls. 


And funny enough, check out what I found earlier this week while shopping for Wildthingvintage:

These bitches will be up for sale as soon as I authenticate them. For now, shop at WILDTHING

My friend Laura Mae put together a beautiful overview of his work over at her blog, Charming Gypsy. You can check it out HERE:
