attracted to you like teenie boppers to the apple store

Just a little bit of casual fabulousness today. I got this t-shirt from Zara years ago, I always loved the elephant graphic but hated the tight fit and the cap sleeves, so I transformed it with a few snips (and some stretching out, haha). The faux leather skirt I got from H&M recently. It is so versatile! And I love the heavy metal zipper at the back. Check CanadaStreetStyle to see how I styled it differently.

(errks..bras, who needs 'em :P)

DIYed Zara top, H&M skirt and bag, Nine West shoes, MAC lipstick in MAC Red, thrifted earrings, vintage watch, gold cuff from The Bay, F21 ring, thrifted fur stole


Earl Sweatshirt.... Luper

P.S. I put another heart in the title of my blog, hopefully this will clarify that my blog is called heatherHEARTSfashion, not heatherLOVESfashion. It probably doesn't clarify it that much really, haha, but oh well, it looks cooler anyway!

when can i see you, can i know you, can i hold you

I seem to be reverting back to my childhood lately, style-wise. Last week it was pink hair, Baby Spice style (here), this week, it's pigtails with different coloured hair ties. Pink shoe laces are also something I have not picked up since my childhood, but today I found myself pulling these neon babies out of my old figure skates and inserting them in my newest pair of Docs. (also seen here) Oh yeah, I haven't thrown up the ol' piece sign in a picture since the epic Spice Era, either.

This song and this outfit go together because they just Do. Spikes. Death From Above. Yes, yes, YES.

Some oldies from in and around the Spice Era, showcasing my affinity to the peace sign...

P.S. Is there anyone out there that knows how to post a song on blogger without having to post the whole video? Most of my post titles come from songs and I'd really like to start including the actual song. Not sure if this is a stupid question, but if anyone knows how and wants to share, drop me an email! Thanks lovelies.

i died a hundred times

I'm sure you've all heard of the profoundly sad death of one the great musical loves of my life, Amy Winehouse.

I guess this is a good times to talk about how rad her style was. I know some of you will disagree with me when I say Amy Winehouse had style. But the fact is that she had an intensely definitive and iconic look, and a look that was clearly something of her own creation, which is more than a lot of pop singers out there right now can say. She didn't give a shit about what other people thought of her style and it showed. In my opinion, if there's one thing that defines true style, it's one's ability to truly have faith in their own style-choices, without being shaped and persuaded in a particular direction by outside opinions/influences. She didn't follow trends, she clearly did not do just exactly what her stylist told her to. She had faith in her style choices and she rocked it out. Yeah, maybe the straps on her tank top tended to slip down her shoulder, and her make-up was smudged more often than it was not, but a style with a little bit of grease is always my favourite kind of style.

 

There is no greater love
Than what I feel for you
No sweeter song, no heart so true

There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing, sing to me

You're the sweetest thing
I have ever known
And to think that you are mine alone

There is no greater love
In all the world, it's true
No greater love
Than what I feel for you 

-No Greater Love, Amy Winehouse

Amy, you're a legend and you'll be missed by every single person on this earth who loves and appreciates good music. To be honest your style doesn't even have much to do with it. I'll be listening to my new Frank album I bought today with a kick-ass bonus disc on repeat for at least a couple weeks straight. I hope you get the royalties in heaven. This is a dark day for me, but I thank you for enriching my life with your magical voice and your brilliant lyrics.
Rest In Peace girl, 
and rock on.

what kind of fuckery are we?

XOXOXOX
