Rant ANTM spoilers

I'd just like to get this off my chest, even though I didn't blog about ANTM regularly...or at all.

I frigging hate that Saleisha won. She was so boring and commercial. Plus I found her personality kind of ugly. How bratty can you be, that you'll refuse to share a double bed with someone, when it's clearly meant to be shared and than get all annoyed when Heather gets all upset, because you won't share, and she's left without a bed to sleep in?

She was also a huge brown noser.

That is all.

Plaid is where it's at

Yes, I'm procrastinating, but I felt the overwhelming need to tell the world how much I want a shirt like this:
Er... that is all.

To combat holiday stress, post about coats.

With 16 days left 'til Christmas I am beginning to feel the stress. Not just about all the gift buying brew ha ha, (although my friends and I have yet to do our Secret Santa), but because the teachers have decided to pile it on before Christmas break. I have to finish a photoshop scrapbook for yearbook (which was technically due last week), two scripts, and a literary analysis for Writer's Craft and a Philosophy Essay, all due in the next week or so.

I've been pretty good about getting some stuff done today, and as a break I'm going to write a little bit about coats.

Currently I own a nice, military-like, black pea-coat from Le Chateau.

Pictured here:
and here.
Although I love this coat. I'd really like something just a little longer, with a more defined waist.

I love the colours on these:


This one looks warm:
And this one is cute and dainty:
These are my Top 2:

Unfortunately, they hover in the price range of $150-250. *sigh*
I might have to physically go in a Le Chateau store at some point, because they have some nice jackets, but they don't show any on the website.

"This is one doodle that can't be undid, Homeskillet"

The movie Juno is coming to wide release on December 14, and my friends and I have been eagerly awaiting this since September. Hopefully it will come to Kingston.

In my obsessive IMDB'ing, I have discovered that at free screenings t-shirts were handed out including one described as:
An orange shirt that says "Paulie Bleeker is Totally Boss" and has silhouettes of the running guys.

Unfortunately, I cannot find a picture. But how totally cool is that t-shirt?!?!

I did however find a picture of another one, that's equally cool
I'm so excited for this.

"I want to eat an alpaca"

Something the boyfriend said today, which pertains to this post.

Seeing as I didn't know so many people actually read this [I'm looking at you Lauren and Gillian] I shall try to update this more regularly. I don't know how fashion related it will be though.

What some of you don't know [yes I'm pretending I have more than two or so readers] I like to knit. It's very relaxing, and I love the end product you get. Recently I made glovelettes for Gillian for her birthday [unfortunately no picture] and I'm now currently making a scarf for the boyfriend, but I've put him under the impression I'm making it for myself. This plan is inherently flawed as he's pretty smart about figuring these things out, but I need to use my spare during school to work on it.

It looks like this:
And it's actually very easy to make once you get the hang of the pattern. Except his is rust coloured and really soft since I'm using this yarn that's 60% Merino Wool, 20% Alpaca and 20% silk. Pattern under here.

Of boatnecks and black T dresses

Finally received the American Apparel clothes I ordered through a friend of a friend, which included the infamous black T dress that I blather endlessly about. Frankly, it's amazing despite the pillowcase-y-ness and raw hem. [Actually I like how loose it is around the middle, if it was more form fitting, it would probably err on the side of slutty.

I also got these shirts as well, except they look much better in person. Does anybody else think this new model just looks horribly bored and washed out?

I've also been watching a ridiculous amount of Reality Bites since I bought it like three weeks ago. It's so good, but I think it's because I think Winona Ryder was really cool before her shoplifting ways, although I still think she's cool.

And her clothing isn't terrible for 1994, except for the odd vest and pants that are way too short for her.

Lastly I'll end with a video that features some really cute, nerdy [meant int the best possible way] guys and girls performing a lip dub to Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger. An awesome song by the way.



and another cute video I love...
