Buying Trips and Wedding Dresses, OH MY!
Hello Model Citizens,
Happy to be back at my sweet little abode after a huge buying trip for Model Citizens. We had a great trip and have all kinds of goodies being stocked as we speak. I am thrilled though to be back and getting at it.
This trip was also eventful because I FINALLY committed to a wedding dress. This was a wild experience. Even though I deal with clothes everyday and pay close attention to aesthetic all the time, when it comes to myself, I am not good. I guess it might be because I see such an incredible volume of clothes, I forget what my own style is. And that is just the beginning of my problem everyday, let alone buying a wedding dress.
But I found it and it wasn't quite the "aha!" moment I thought it was going to be but it was a gradual, warm "I am in LOVE" moment. We have a few things to do with it when it arrives (like a giant applique) but I am so happy that I found it. My sisters, Blaire and Meagan and My Aunt Jess really helped me narrow things down to get what I really wanted, even though I had no idea what that was.
So, clothes, clothes clothes. Model Citizens is blocked and we are ready to tackle these winter months and move on into the cold. So, as Joni Mitchell says, "Come in from the Cold" and visit us today to see all new stuff.

Fabrics + Friday Night = Fab.
Well, not just on Friday, any day! Happy Friday, fashionistas and fans! Today my whole inspiration is coming from this bright blue suede skirt. Straight out of the late 80's/ early 90's, this piece. Paired with this vintage lace long sleeve ( that is making a MAJOR come back) this outfit is dynamite. The two paired together exhibit only one way either can be worn. Both of these pieces would look fantastic about 50 ways each. Together they show just how well two extremely different fabrics can work together, like I said in my "matching" blog last week, do not fear playing with color combos. Here's a new rule- do not fear fabric combos! With great color, fabrics, and a vintage vibe this outfit is the definition of a big deal without really being a big deal.
I'm hittin the road again folks. Have a good weekend, play with some color and do not fear rocking that fabulous 80's piece, no matter who ca-rayzay the fabric!

Just Too Cool- MC's Photo of the day
Those Leopard Print over-the-knee boots, man those may have been my favourite thing ever. Nicole kick ass in this photo and Steve Pike is pretty good arm candy. Featuring St. John's own, Fred's Records in the background.
