Drop Clothes Not Bombs

Might I direct you to the faces of the two people at the back row not raising their hands up? This was essentially the highlight of our Disney trip.

I know that we've promised a million times to get back on track with our blogging, but our pessimistic attitudes and lack of blogable outfits have hindered us from doing so. :( Many apologies on our behalf, but we hope you'll forgive us after looking at what we wore to our recent trip to Disneyland. :)

Sam: Floral dress from I-forget-where, Gladiators from Spring.
Sheila: Zara romper and Daniel's mother's belt.
Fiona and Michelle: No idea!

Michelle: Urban Renual dress
Sheila: F21 crop top, H&M skirtSam: UO shirt, H&M skirt
Sheila: Le Chateau suspenders
Fiona: Rodarte for Target top
Michelle: Yet again I am unsure as to where she gets her beautiful clothing. :(
Michelle: Nata.
Fiona: Who knows but her shirt is amazing.
Sheila: UO backlass dress and UO hat
Sam: Either F21 or Love Culture romper

Fiona had a colourful skirt on that day but I am sadly at a loss as to wear it is from.

Turns out that 5 days of thrill rides plus shopping at Anthropologie for the first time and numerous amounts of disrupted pictures equals a lot of fun on the happiest place on earth.

That's mint.

Yo, peeps!
Much to the dismay of DCNB, we decided to follow up on our previous promise of blogging more by undertaking yet another absense. In our defense, however, the Olympics were taking place and while Sam was working her butt off for some much needed mula for our upcoming Disneyland trip, me and Fiona decided to embark on our own adventures which mostly consisted of venturing Downtown and taking in all the sites. Below are the outfits we wore to Fiona's best friend's, and my new friend's, birthday. We'd made a pit stop at Safeway and decided to make use of the cookie/frozen goods aisle by photographing in it.

Aldo Purse; Unknown Cardigan; Rodarte Shirt; Unknown Skirt

5 feet. :)

Dynamite Pleather Jacket; H&M Purse; Thrifted Shirt; Payless Booties.Mmm, Oreo thins!

This man-inspired outfit was worn to an outing in Granville Island. Boy, do they ever have good hot dogs.

Mom's shirt; AA Cardigan; Aldo Necklace

Indubiously,
Sheila

Hola!

So, DCNB is back for good. We promise!

We all go to a Catholic school, so uniforms are pretty much are lives (Booo). However, there are some occasions where we get to dress our best, showcased by Sheila and I (At 7:00 in the morning. We hate choir.)

Fiona: Urban Behavior coat, Old Navy shirt, Vintage belt, Wal-Mart skirt, Steve Madden shoes

Sheila: Urban Outfitters dress, Urban Outfitters shoes

Pay attention to Sheila's beautiful backless dress (aka don't mind my face)

Other non-fashion related good news: Winter Olympics are happening right here in Vancouver! You know what that means... No school for two weeks! Yay! Too bad there's no snow here though, ha.

Anyway, expect pictures of us downtown like we're tourists (Hey, that does mean we do get to lug around a huge camera without stares? "We're from *insert American State here*")

And then don't mind this picture. A reenactment of a picture we took in grade 8.

How embarassing

Peace out, homies!

Fiona

Tassels, ya dig?

2010-02-06T13:38:00.000-08:00

Ello me hearties!
Exams finished a week ago and after seven days of sitting in class and doing absolutely nothing productive, I've decided to finally break the non-blogging streak that DCNB has been undergoing. Below is the outfit I plan on wearing to work later today as well as for my long awaited date with my good friend, Spencer. Most of the items were handed down to me from my mom so a special shout out to her for going through menopause and not being able to fit into these clothes! Please excuse the crappy pictures and superhero-like poses; the pictures really do look better on my Mac and like I've said before, my entire being was not made for model-esque stances and blue steel facial expressions.

I wanted to showcase my ring, and this is the best I could come up with.

luv U macbuk 4lyfe.

With love from Burnaby, (hah!)

2009-10-12T01:49:00.000-07:00

Wow, it must be really really late, or there must be something in the turkey (Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!) because I'm actually blogging about animal tees.

I know, it's been around for a while now, but to be honest, I never found them appealing from the start. That is, until I saw this:

Familiar? You guessed it. It's that same tee that became an internet-amazon-phenomenon and was also blogged about on lulu and your mom.

Damn, Dwight. How could I not love tacky animal prints now? Now I see the Christopher Kane stuff in a whole new light (You can call me out on bandwagoning, I don't care).

(took this off of Fashiontoast, obviously)

I should get my own so I could, y'know, "howl at the moon" and stuff.

If you don't watch the office

then I am so sorry.

2009-10-04T10:43:00.000-07:00

Daniel and I went to a fashion so the other day :) we'll post more about it soon. For now I'll leave you with some pretty photos from my folder.

That was CRAZY!

2009-08-21T15:20:00.001-07:00

So, I've quite neglected this blog for awhile. But it's summer! I'm supposed to go reak havoc and go out in the clothes I slept in, and sleep in the clothes I wore. Which, I don't think is very hygenic. So I don't really do that.

Anyway! Awhile ago, the boyfriend and I decided to have a picnic! We found our way to White Rock, for an amazing beach near the US/Canada Border.

We're very good at people watching. That castle in the middle is also AMAZING.

The whole day was spent eating ham and cheese croissants and chocolate dipped strawberries, looking for shapes in the clouds/tree branches, watching people build sandcastles, trying to climb the huge White Rock, having adventures underneath the pier, and getting embarassed. I am apparently very good at that last bit.

Old Navy t, thrifted belt, skirt bought in a random store in SoCal for $8,

& some of my beloved rings (including a VERY fake Chanel one. heh)

Nine West wedges

I see a dinosaur/dragon head on the right. What do you see?

Hope your remaining summer is filled with delicious strawberries, sun and loved ones!

Petuitarious Shrinky Dinky!

2009-08-16T01:16:00.000-07:00

I love Emma Watson; she simply embodies all things elegant. Not only is she talented in front of the camera, but she's smart, has nice skin, (Harry Potter quip for those that noticed :D) is dating a boyfriend obtaining the occupation of a banker (not that she needs to be a gold-digger) and has a bloody good fashion sense. Not to mention she's British and all British people are tantalizing to me the moment they are born. Below are some reasons why I'd like to raid her wardrobe or give her a hug.

I simply adore how this origami-cut dress is intensified by beaded extras.

I'm not a particular fan of 3/4 sleeve dresses, but this number makes my heart flutter.

Because of this, I have an uncanny yearning for leather.

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

2009-08-11T15:54:00.000-07:00

I’ve always wanted to see this movie, probably because this film pretty much sums up my idealistic view of life in Europe: Small towns by the sea, rain falling on charming little cobblestone streets, pretty coats and dresses, romance and…umbrellas! Every clip or still I’ve seen so far is full of colour, and beautiful 60’s era fashion. If you loved Anna Friel’s wardrobe in Pushing Daisies, then you’d probably love the girly outfits in this movie too. ( I forgot to mention that it’s a musical. Although, unlike normal musicals where the spontaneously breakout into song, they sing everything. No spoken dialogue...That’ll take some getting used to, but oh well! )

(photos from... I forgot.)

crappy synopsis
Catherine Deneuve plays Genevieve, the daughter of a widowed umbrella shop owner in the coastal town of Cherbourg. She falls in love with Guy, a young automechanic who is soon drafted to fight the Algerian War.

So far, my only option is to order it online, since I can’t think of any stores that would sell the DVD in Vancouver. I have a feeling that they wouldn’t have it if I checked at the local blockbuster, but it’s worth a try. I must get my hands on this movie!

Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card!

2009-07-26T02:01:00.000-07:00

A few days ago, me and my fellow blogger Daniel ventured downtown to enjoy the thrilling experience of being in a library that has 7 levels. What could be more fun than going to the library and enjoying the site of books on a sunny, warm day? The answer, my compadres is, 'nothing'. Heaven is one of the few words that could describe this as a bookworm such as myself took in all the wonderful, shelved sights. After going to each level in search of the Jane Austin classic, Sense and Sensibility, me and Daniel enjoyed some yogen fruz and sun. I lala-love cold food and hot days.Off the Wall Shirt; F21 Skirt; H&M Slingpack; Front&Company Sunglasses; UO Sandals

Off, off and away!

Boy, you a sight to see (Kinda something like me)

2009-07-18T14:17:00.000-07:00

As I write this post, I think about how I could be planning my outfit for the No Doubt concert tonight. But no, I am not going anymore because my best friend sold our tickets (Yeah... I don’t understand what he was thinking either). Well, I guess I’ll stop complaining right about now… :)

*Sigh, I love family vacations & road trips. Here's some photos:

Oh noes, my mustache is askew!

AA tulip skirt, Hanes t stolen from my little brother, Payless shoes,
Chinese Laundry bag, Mom's vintage belt, JC Penny cardigan

At five feet, I could probably audition to be one of the dwarfs.

Old Navy tee, Ross skirt & sandals

Obviously, I wore a skirt to endure an 18 hour drive.

I thought my face would look better if it was the whole wide world.

AA hoodie, Old Navy tee, Target/wannabe AA skirt, Ross shoes

A sixteen hour drive to San Francisco, stayed in a really nice/big house, toured Alcatraz, bought a harmonica, played outside in the dark, sucked at ping pong. Then off to Las Vegas, the hottest place known to mankind (or, at least to me… Oh. Guess I wasn’t done complaining, huh? Ha!), with me not gambling, not drinking, not doing anything but shop because I am well under aged. Being a princess. Staying at Circus Circus and not seeing even one clown, playing “gambling games for kids”. I plan to stay at every single hotel there when I am older and a gold digger. Watching Criss Angel x Cirque du Soleil, which had it’s moments but honestly, it was disappointing. Off to Arizona, for the Grand Canyon. Getting lost, what the hell is Route 66, stopping by the Hoover Dam, and ooh pretty sights. Finally, to LA, for family, sleeping, fourth of July, fireworks, little devils running around (who sometimes can be cutie angels), Disneyland/California Adventures, mmm I love churro’s!, Magic Mountain is the best thing in the whole wide world, In ‘N Out various times, shopping, a Seaworld, getting sunburnt, Raging Waters, getting sunburnt again, then going back home. A stop by Oregon overnight, for shopping, cheap McDicks and rest. Finally finally finally (although I miss it dearly in California!)… home.

I love my daddy <3>

I also love my $10 sunglasses :)

Off to babysit… hope you’re having a fun summer much like I am!

Fiona, your fellow mustache.

It's been a while...

2009-07-11T13:04:00.000-07:00

Today I actually got up off of my lazy but to do some blogging (Hooray :)). Anyways, we’ve actually stepped up our game in terms of picture taking, because this time we have a nice camera and found a pretty location down in Gastown. Fiona wasn't able to join because she's ditched us for sunny California, while we're stuck in Vancouver with it's schizophrenic weather (boooo).

[Sheila: Her mom’s top + HM Bag + UO sandals + Aldo necklace] [Daniel: HM canvas bag]

My current feelings can pretty much be summed up in 3 simple words: I love summer. These are harsh words coming from someone who used to be absolutely in love with winter, but enjoying late night walks with a friend and venturing to Starbucks 5 minutes before it is about to close while still enjoying the dim sun is just about as comfortable as life can get. After coming to the conclusion that taking a walk would be much more productive than creeping people on Facebook, me and Michelle walked around my area; a walk in which we failed to enjoy to the fullest due to the fact that the swings we planned to go on were occupied by some 12 year old hooligans. :(

American Eagle Top; Forever21 Skirt; UO Sandals; H&M Sling Pack (which btw i am absolutely in love with.)

Everything worn by Michelle is pretty much unknown by me but her obscured from view clutch is from H&M and I am guessing her sandals are from Payless. :D

We love our toes.

Silence, then creepy/sad music But you're just a boy...

2009-06-20T15:17:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry lovely blog. I have abandoned you for the longest time :( But, guess what? School's out for summer! (I was going to link Alice Cooper, but I suppose that might be too much, correct?) Yay, time for this blog to apparently "piss out posts"? (Thanks, Danny T! =p)

Moving on... Honestly, sometimes I wish I was born of the opposite gender. Think about it: they don't have as high standards as girls have to live up to, they don't need to worry once a month, plus it's completely reasonable if they're messy (Oh, but I cleaned my room last week? Yay, me!)

If I were a boy... *cue Beyonce/Sasha Fierce music

I would probably be a lot taller (Ya know, at least 5'1. The freakin' Olsen's are taller than me!), stronger, and dumb-er. Tehehe. Actually, thinking about it... If I were a boy I would probably listen to the same kind of music, enjoy the same shows (or at least fully benefit from MANswers!), and laugh at the same jokes (What did the ghost say to the bee? Boo, bee!).

Anyway, here's to me pretending I was rich and, ya know, a boy!

Hm, so first off: I would probably live in these Gap v neck shirts instead of crew necks. V necks just look so much... cooler! (But not those reeeally deep v's. It's kinda like, "Hey buddy. Nobody wants to see your miniature forest. Kthx.")

I would also have good taste in jackets. I mean, Italia/Brasil jackets?
Really? Especially if you're not Italian or Brazilian. How about those North Face burnt marshmellow jackets? Puke.

= NO NO NO.

= YES YES YES.
Thank you Urban Outfitters for these two beautiful jackets.

Or this other Urban Outfitters jacket.

I'd buy this, then bedazzle "Gangsta" in gold at the back, then put finishing touches of sequins around it. Just kidding! ... Kinda :)

And then underneath my pants I'd wear these:They're boxers! On your boxers! Would it be strange if I went into the Gap and bought these for myself to wear as pajamas?

And these Urban Outfitter shark socks are amazing! Hm, actually.. do you think these would fit on a 6.5 size woman? ;)

And I do not understand why some boys don't take advantage of cuff links. They are just about the best thing about being a boy. There are so many cool styles, my favourite are these Banana Republic airplane cuff links. If I owned these, I would feel so "fly" (Ba dum bum CCH!)

And last, but definitely not least, I believe you are not a true man if you do not own a Batman T!

The coming of exams = distractions and these distractions = blogging. After studying math for 2 consecutive hours, my brain (along with the rest of my body due to the intense heat of 34 degrees) is fried. No recent photos have been taken due to our busy schedules of studying and delaying studying, but these bad boys were captured a few weeks ago after an intriguing bio field trip and sushi. :) If all else fails in life, I've decided to become a marine biologist.

FUN IN THE SUN

2009-05-26T22:10:00.000-07:00

SO,

don't be suprised if we suddenly dissapear for a while. Finals are coming up, so blogging is the last thing on our minds right now. Last saturday was pretty much our last day of frolick and play before we buckle down and hit the books. It was also our good friend Michelle's birthday, so we threw her a suprise party at the beach and we dressed her up for kicks (yeah, that's a thong on her head). Unfortunately, I don't have any outfit posts of Sheila because she left early D:

Cardigan: Kensie Girl; Top: From a vendor at Boracay in the Philippines; Shorts:F21 Gladiators: Love Culture Bag: Chloe (*cough*fake*cough*)

Fiona: Dress from Ross

I don't know what Michelle and Daniel are wearing :\ oh well!

PS. Thanks for the blog awards to those who gave us some, we'd return the favour and pass it on, but we kinda don't have the time right now

Influence

2009-05-10T13:32:00.000-07:00

It's no secret that I love Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. As a child, I grew up watching Full House. I collected all of their books: The New Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley, You're Invited To..., Two of a Kind, books based on their movies, Sweet 16... even the biographies! I begged my parents for their movies, and even if I didn't own some, I still managed to see every Olsen Twin movie there was. Two of a Kind, So Little Time, and their cartoon with the talking dog were my favourite TV shows. I'm in the midst of collecting the whole Full House series on DVD (I have seasons 1-3 and 5), and I got their "Influence" book for Christmas. Heck, I had/have two chickens named Mary-Kate and Ashley (RIP MK). I think they're two of the few child stars who didn't grow up being psycho, and I love them now as much as I loved them as they famously said, "You got it, dude!"

Here are some (of the MANY) favourite pictures of mine. It was really difficult choosing which ones to share, so I focused mainly on the more recent ones.

Hopefully, you guys will be as inspired as I am:)

And their style! So different, but both amazing. I also love how, when they were advertising for their book, it showed their different styles but still seemed to "go" together.

I have to say, Ashley remains my favourite of the two.

Don't get me wrong, however. I admire Mary Kate for her own unique style, and how she pulls it off effortlessly.

All throughout my life, MK & A have remained an Influence. (hehe)

- Fiona :)

thanks a bunch to Olsen Files (!) and Just Jared for the pictures:)

p.s. Happy Mother's Day!
I love you mama:)

Essentially I am a lazy human being - and because of that I'm recycling an outfit picture that was originally taken for lookbook (Sheila Wesa; hit me up!) and instead am posting it on here. :D Below is what I like to consider my hardcore outfit; then again anything worn with my faux-leather jacket is considered hardcore. There does seem to be a certain cliche'd aspect to this out fit though, no? Something about flowers and leather makes me want to jump on a motercycle and go pick some daisies.

Beautiful saturday afternoon

2009-05-02T13:37:00.000-07:00

It looks like I've slightly neglected the blog for quite some time. It's hard update if you don't have enough clothes to take pictures of (I go to a Catholic school, there's not much shopping you need to do if you go to a school with a uniform).

I'm going to try my best though, because I found myself a photographer (hooray!). My friend and I went to down to Main st. one beautiful Saturday afternoon to go window shopping and somehow ended up just taking pictures. DAMN she's good with a camera... probably because she took a photography class, haha. Anyways, since we decided that we don't hang out enough, I'm going to make her take pictures of me, ahahaha.

By the way, Main St. is AWESOME. It's so artsy and unique, I never want to step foot in a mall again (I make no promises though). If you live in Vancouver or just happen to visit, I highly recommend it. I also firmly suggest you visit Front & Company, my new favourite consignment store. It may not have amazingly cheap prices like Value Village, but it's easier to find something you like without sifting through piles of crap.

Top: Yoshi Skirt: F21 Bracelets: Dollarama, Sirens (actually a necklace)

I was just surfing Refinery29 and came across the Aussie line, Grippjeans. Damn. SOMEONE TAKE ME TO AUSTRALIA. NOW.

I like the edgy-tough-lusty-vampire look (at least, that what they described it as... I don't know what I'm talking about).

Why, hello there! I've decided I live a boring life; perhaps if I bought a whole new wardrobe this would change? ... Now, how am I going to find all of this money? Honestly, if I was raised with no morals I would be a gold digger. Alas, I do hold some morals. :(

Anyway, here are some things that I wish were mine.

The details of her skirt is simply amazing!

I sang that song all day today, and even managed to get it stuck in Sheila's head. Tehe.

Hm, a further inspection of my outfit on last Saturday.

Dress: American Apparel
Tights: H&M
Shoes: Steve Madden
Necklace: Forever 21

I'm very awkward with pictures, especially head on. My cheeks are too chubby, so I look like a squirrel gathering it's food in preparation of wintertime.

Speaking of chubby... It's our school retreat tomorrow! (Boooooo.) Hopefully Sheila will supply marshmallows; I want to play Chubby Bunny!

Shredded T! Yeah, I know. It's been done a billion times and beyond, but I still love it! Especially since I spent countless hours shredding during a sleepover at Sam's and on the bus, with old men giving me strange looks..

This is what I wore to school last, Friday? Minus the heels, however. Heels + Bussing/Walking for over an hour = Not cool, yo.

Shirt: Superstore DIY'd Camille-style
Pants: Garage
Shoes: Ross

Oh, my head isn't purposely cut off in these pictures. I just still suck with cameras.

Look at the failed attempt at being artistic. Sigh...

Whenever I'm on Picnik, I just want to give myself unusally large eyes and a mustache. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Cardigan: Off The Wall
T: Old Navy
Skirt: American Apparel
Tights: H&M
Shoes: Steve Madden
Necklace: Forever 21

Oh, Sheila and I are psychic! We wore basically the same outfit, if you look at her previous post. Great minds think alike.. Holla!

Yeah, sorry guys. This was a pretty boring post.

Look! It's Michelle's Debut! Last night was a night of failed Earl's service and Souvlaki. I had a Shish Kabob. Greek food has the coolest names.

Sam: Forever 21 Peacoat; Unseen Birthday Gift Dress; Steve Madden Shoes

I suggest you prepare yourselves for what I'm about to say: today was actually WARM. At a boiling 20 degrees Celsius, I grabbed my homeboy Spencer for a long awaited date at IHOP. We then proceeded to take pictures down an alley in front of a garbage can. Nothing says class better than trash.

Pacsun Cardigan; Garage Tshirt; Forever21 Highwaisted skirt; Nodstrom Rack Tights; Aldo Flats

PS: Excuse my paleness in this picture. I'm quite aware I resemble the supernatural.

Above are my beautiful 60$ Michael Kors shoes. And what I had today. That crap they say about diamonds is false - shoes and food are girls best friend.

Blouse: a gift from my cousin; Socks: UO; Skirt: Forever 21

I think I'll wear this to school on dress your best day (Don't worry, the socks are actually the same length... Just not in this picture). I feel like I'm posting this up on every personal style site known to man. I'm not sure it's a good thing, but I can't stop D: . So if you're browsing Chictopia or happened to come across Hangerbox.com, you'll find one of these pictures there.

I'm contemplating on adding this to look book, but I'm pretty intimidated by all the people there... maybe later? Anyways, I'm so happy that I'm a giant compared to my cousin, otherwise she wouldn't have given me this pretty blouse as my early birthday present (APRIL 15TH PEOPLE. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!-It's the same as Emma Watsons :D ) .

My aunts decided that they'll each pool in money to buy me a sewing machine, so I might post scanned sketches of things I want to make soon. It won't be for a while though, because if I weren't so lazy I'd get off my ass and get some done by now. I've already decided that my beginner project would be the Miu Miu-esque puff skirts from Camille of Childhoodflames.

I really want to say a lot more so that I can fill in this space and stuff, but I really can't think of anything else to write about, ahaha.

I'm tipsy, tryna 'lax. (8) Omg, the Gabe Bondoc rendition of that song is SO good! ... Just saying :)

So, it was my cutie patootie goddaughters birthday party last Saturday. JC Penny L blouse worn as a dress, Ardene socks (for $1!), Ross Leather Jacket,
Fathers stolen watch,

Worn with Steve Madden booties.

I think that outfit (minus the shoes) cost me like, $36. Oh yeahh. (Yeah, ignore my face in that last picture. I think I'm the least photogenic person in the whole wide world.)

Hm, I really long for Spring. Can't you see Sheila, Sam and I as these three girls? (Besides the fact that me and Sheila are ridiculously short and none of us are blond.)

And this is what you get with a girl who is trying to figure out her camera configurations. Sad.

Jacket: Gift from Sam like, two Christmas' ago.

Ooh, you can see some of my stuffed animals! Hm, I see Charlie, Walter, Georgie, Spongebob's house...

Mon amie KC! Miss her already.

Urban Outfitters dress; Aldo purse (Don't mind Ronald)

Arson tank top; American Apparel tulip skirt; Mom's tights :D ; Aldo purse

H&M Nylon bomber jacket; H&M snake skirt; Aldo purse

I'm back! Well actually I was back5 days ago but due to my laziness and amount of homework, room for blogging didn't really exist. Anyways, California was a blast- AND WARM! One day it reached a high of 22 and after finding out about the 4 degree temperature back home, I laughed. Above are some of the outfits I wore; most being purchased on the trip. San Fransisco shopping was amazing and even though the prices at Nordstrom and Bloomingdales made me feel homeless, trying on a pair of $800 Jimmy Choo shoes made everything better :)

It’s no doubt that I love sleep. So, you could understand how upset I was this morning when my driving lesson was cancelled... I only had 5 hours of sleep for nothing.

Anyway, this is the result of me not being able to go back to sleep. After this winter, I officially hate the cold. Seriously, it's gotten too much for me. Sigh. Here's some outfits that gave me a little pick-me-up:

Aldo, $110; Forever 21, $24.80; Urban Outfitters, $128

Urban Outfitters, $58; Forever 21, $10.80; The most beautiful glasses ever! Dita Eyewear, $500; Urban Outfitters, $28; Hanes, $Ridiculously cheap (Free if you're like me and steal your Dads/brothers/friends/boyfriends); Payless Shoes, $27.99

Forever 21, $4.80; Urban Outfitters, $20; Urban Outfitters, $78; Aldo, $12.98; Steve Madden, $79.95

I apologize that my posts will never be as pretty as Sam's or Daniel's... Haha=p

Oh, and Sheila left for San Francisco today! She's lucky; 18 degree weather!! We all miss her dearly (On the outside. Inside, we're really thinking "Sweeeeeet! No Sheila for a week? This makes Spring Break 123789173x better!" Hah, jk yo.) Have fun Sheman!

Despite Burnaby's below freezing temperatures and melting snow conditions, a smile can actually be seen on my face due to the fact that in 5 days I'll be on a plane to California. The joy of flying to California does not stop at warm temperatures, however. It continues on due to the fact that I'll be purchasing clothes from that heavenly store called Forever 21. Above are some of the items that I cannot wait to get my glove-clad hands on.

Early this morning (well, more like one in the afternoon) I woke up and realized I hated everything in my closet. I sifted through the piles of clothes that I already sorted and had come to the conclusion that everything was just...blah. Like a yawn had manifested itself into every article of clothing in my wardrobe. Usually, the solution would be to go shopping, but my empty wallet and bank account prevent me from doing so. Instead, I logged onto Polyvore and found a whole bunch of outfits that SHOULD BE MINE instead of the pile of crap in my closet. You guys should try it! It's so fun after you dodge all the head-to-toe-juicy-couture-abercrombie-hollister-american-eagle crap. Now I have a whole folder and I don't know what to do with them (I took them all without permission- I'm so sorry!) :

"Madonna is reportedly teaming up with Christian Audigier to design a line of clothing with his Ed Hardy brand.

The range is said to include the familiar tattoo printed T-shirts and bodices covered in crystals."

So many things wrong with this world. So many things.

First of all, although I have respect for Madonna (that decreased IMMENSELY because of this horror!) she is in my Top 3 list of things I'm afraid of.

She should not be able to move like this! Madonna is only about 500 billion years old!!

Secondly, Ed Hardy? Really? Madonna, you're so respected (I think). Can't you upgrade? I find Ashley Simpson-Wentz for WetSeal is a better deal than this!

Oh world, what are you becoming...?
Frightening news came from Perez Hilton, images from Google

- Fiona,
The Upset, Distraught, Speechless Mustache.

p.s. Today, I figured out Christian Audigier is the "designer" for Ed Hardy. I think he was another idiot with a stupid, Ed Hardy design. I thought Ed Hardy was a person. Who was still alive. I still don't know what's true and false, since I don't care either way. Why, God, WHY?!

p.p.s. I promise I won't write a "p.s." for every post I do=p

Holla.

So despite the worlds crappy economy (I just made myself sound like my dad) I actually had a job interview today! Above is the outfit I wore that hopefully disguised my nerves and didn't make me appear to be too in love with black.

-Garage tshirt
-Garage pants
-Pacsun cardigan
-Aldo accessories necklace

PS: Please forgive my un-modelesque pose and backdrop. I've realized I look somewhat distorted if I try to appear serious and my apartment is just a big bunch of clutterage. And incase your questioning my sense of fashion due to my socks, I didn't actually wear those to the interview :D Really sorry about the bad photography too - couldn't find my dads camera and was stuck with using mine.

Cheers!

Look Adrienne, it's your DCNB debut!

Yes, these outfit posts are a bit late, considering my birthday was two weeks ago. But I have them now, and that's all that matters, correct?

You can tell how close the DCNB members are, coming to my family birthday party and what not. I find it amusing how we're the only ones NOT wearing jeans, haha!

Sheila, Sam, Sam (again), Daniel

The White One: american apparel dress, pacsun cardigan
The Mustache: old navy tee, american apparel skirt, h&m tights, mom's old belt
The Spy Pants: h&m scarf and shirt, urban behavior jacket, bluenotes vest, warehouse one pants
The Skyscraper: I don't exactly know, sorry guys!

Oh yes, we're always this awesome.

Until next time,

p.s. Sorry for the Janis Ian title.. Spam kept on singing it a couple of weeks ago and it's never been able to escape from my mind!

Nylon February 09

Vivi April 09

If I didn't hate the feeling of pants on my legs, I think I'd wear a pair of these babies. Maybe one day I'll be able to say, "hey. It's okay to like pants. Pants are good" but I don't think that time will come anytime soon... unless I can get my hands on a nice pair of ankleboots.

Anyways, These scans are not mine, and are uploaded by the people of the livejournal community, Jmagazinescans which I think you should check out if you're tired of reading articles and want something abundant in pretty pictures (I recommend Vivi and Nylon, obvs).

This is pretty much just a filler post for now since I can't find my camera to take outfit pictures with. The Squad and I are getting together some photos soon, so please stay tuned!

So we guess "coming soon" was a bit of an understatement considering this post is pretty much a month late... But anyways, Why this name? Because we think that if everyone dropped clothes instead of bombs, the world would be a happier place (PLUS WE DA BOMB!)

SHEILA: THE WHITE ONE
Testing testing un deux trois!
Bonjour amigos! I'm Sheila and I like to think I’m bilingual even though the extent of my language knowledge includes English, some French, and random words picked out from other dialects that when formed in a sentence are not comprehensible whatsoever. But this blog isn't about my lack of bilingual sentence structure; instead it’s about a girl with no life who lives off of Perez Hilton and fashion blogs. Similar to my granny sounding name, I like to think of my style as old fashion - but not to the point of wearing lacy turtle necks and dresses that flow below your toes. I'm not the most fashion conscientious person considering I am currently wearing a shirt with a rather large armpit hole, but all the same, I hope you enjoy dawdling along my blogging "journey" as I attempt to overcome horrid fashion trends and strive towards the ones worth striving for.

FIONA: THE MUSTACHE
Hi, I'm Fiona & I don't really have a mustache. If I did, I'd shave that bad boy every morning and at five o'clock. Sheila said I'm "city chic" even though she doesn't know what that means, and I don't either. I like wearing heels because I'm a bit short of five feet (even though whenever people ask, I simply reply "Five feet baby!"). To see me NOT wearing leggings or tights is like to see a lunar eclipse: it happens, yet it's quite rare. I haven't really found my "style" yet, so I guess this blog plays a part in my "teenaged girl trying to find her identity" journey. Which is quite difficult since I'm a poor little girl who longs for clothes too expensive for her wallet's taste. I like thinking I have wit, and EDGE.. even though I've been told before that I belong in a fairy tale Cool beans!

SAMANTHA: THE SKY SCRAPER

The tall one.

The Ugg hunter.

The destroyer of all things Ed Hardy.

Just kidding. Maybe. I’m the one who rarely wears pants for some reason- Perhaps my love of skirts is too great, or maybe it’s my annoying habit of putting two legs in the same pant leg. One can never tell. On the rare occasions that I do squeeze into a pair, people usually come up to me with the same reaction one might have when seeing a real live unicorn, or finding a half-eaten slice of elderly cheese on toast purportedly showing the image of the blessed Virgin Mary. Anyways, I am Samantha. Call me Sam. I like long walks on the beach, romantic candle-lit dinners, and planning the assassination of Christian Audiger. I have no sense of direction when it comes to my style so I, like most of us here on DCNB, am just looking for something that works.

DANIEL: THE SPY PANTS
1. Manufactured by mother and father
2. Imported from Vancouver
3. 80% Filipino 20% Bitch
4. Machine wash warm
5. Tumble dry low

Well, now that you’ve gotten the basic structure of my exterior, I get can down to the soul, the grit of things. I’m pretty sure “grit” belongs nowhere in that sentence, but it sounded smart, so I shall leave it. I believe in tough love, sometimes, being an outright bitch to a certain extent, especially when it comes to clothes that are fuggers. So, I may seem harsh, but take it as constructive criticism. But onto more important questions that may boggle your mind, what’s my style? Well to begin, my style is...is... well, as my co-blogger put it – Classy Casual. But in my opinion, i have no idea. “Wherever the fashion path takes me” as I like to put it - what does that mean? Well, i believe that our fashion lives are like a gravel bound rode. we have the weeds, they represent the clothes we never want to exist but they do anyways, the pretty flowers, they represent the expensive clothing that we can see but not touch, then there are the pebbles. They represent the annoying child hood style in which our parents dressed us in. These pebbles tend to stick to our Steven Madden soles. They will only be gone until we pick them out and bury it so it is forever gone, only leaving the remnants of our embarrassing attempt to wipe it off the face of the earth... But on a lighter note, why did i partake in this online journal excursion? Because I wanted to, but it could also be because I’m lacking particularly in the “life” department. I mean, I have one; it’s just non - existent at the moment. Moving on, what do I have to contribute to this blog other than my incredible ability to calculate the total cost with taxes and subtracting the sale percentage from the lowest ticketed price? That may only be it. But in all honesty, let’s just say the guy side of things with a hint of bitch and style. Or style with a hint of bitch and guy. Or even bitch with a hint of guy and style. So that’s it. I leave you with the immortal words of Russell Peters “Just take it, and go!”
