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

Just a little post about my love, Syd. This is strictly a fashion blog so I will try to focus on her killer style. She has great hair, she wears lighters as necklaces and she can rock a white tee and a pair of headphones like it ain't nobody's business. And what is it about a girl in a toque? Oh yeah, and I've seen her on a skateboard a couple of times too which is just so hot. (a skateboard counts as an accessory right?)
