Big Hair

After years of tugging, pulling, ironing, pressing, drying, and all but ripping out every strand of hair, in order to get the sleek look I desired so badly, I have finally embraced the mess of curls that sit atop my head. In fact, the character trait I used to disguise then, is the very thing I like to emphasize now and I like to make it big people. I may be modest about a lot of things, but when it comes to hair, I love the thick unruly chaos.

The street style blog Au Coin De Ma Rue has really cool pictures of people from all over the world with very different style. I picked out a few pictures of some fellow curly heads like myself. Embrace the curls.




There is something special about a man with tousled hair. Makes you want to run your hands through it and fuss it up!

Here is a picture of me and a friend (I'm on the right).

Garance Doré

Garance Doré is one of my favorite fashion and style bloggers. She is an illustrator who longed to have more contact with her readers, hence she started her blog Garance Doré. Her talent as an illustrator as well as her keen eye for spotting interesting style has made her blog one of the best (in my humble opinion).

Garance also contributes to Vogue Paris with her "Une fille, un style" column. Also Gap is creating a concept store that will display Garance's illustrations, and the Gap will also sell t-shirts of her illustrations. I for one cannot wait to get my hands on one!

Garance también ha contribuido a Vogue Paris con su columna "Une fille, un style." El Gap va crear una tienda donde van a exponer sus dibujos. El Gap también va vender camisas de sus ilustraciones. Tengo muchas ganas de comprarme una!


Garance takes amazing street fashion photographs that come out natural and seem effortless.

Style While Riding

Amsterdam may be the city for bikes, but Montreal is not far behind. Last week when I was in Montreal, I felt a small pang of nostalgia for my old bike and the days I used to ride clumsily around the city. Style is not lost among riders in Montreal. There are no bicycle shorts and spandex here. Girls ride around in skirts and dresses with ease, not to mention full length coats in the beginning winter months. It is a skill that you quickly acquire when you arrive in this city and get your first bike.

The big tan sunglasses worn by the girl in black horizontal stripes are amazing, although I don't know if I can pull off those big frames. She looks so chic with her red lipstick and classic shorts. I love the bright blue scarf the other girl tied around her neck. It really makes her outfit.

Here are some pictures my friend took while we rode around Montreal.
