Hey Juicy! Thanks for catching on that velour isn’t the only thing that girls tolerate. I’m liking this print (but I hold a slight bias since I have an unconcealed love for patterned-ruffle-shirts-with-ruching. Sorry.) Regardless, this silk green 10-button shirt is definitely something I would consider investing in ($198.00 kind of hurts).
Now, will you people stop making crested-velour jumpsuits? Try something else!

When I hear the word “tunic” my mind immediately makes the association to Talbots / Reimans and other un-hipster like brands. I’m mad about pushing the boundaries of business casual outwards, and I think this is one approach. My latest clothing-lusting? This shirtdress/tunic/longshirt/thingthatgoesonandlooksliketwoshirts from byCORPUS hosted in UrbanOutfitters for sale.
Reminds me of the Rag and Bone Tunic that was out early Spring/Summer. Let’s carry it into fall with plaid!
…item. De Gemma, off of the Queen Street West Store. Typically I’m not a huge fanatic of leather items, but this one was a definite keeper (after my slip up with getting a plain white Coach wristlet with a barely-detectable logo seared into one side). Nude in colour, the wristlet is an incredibly soft exterior with a fully functional interior complete with cardholders and a zipped change compartment.
I’ll treasure it around my wrist, always.

Alas, gone are the days where I could roll out of bed and put on my favourite pair of jeans, my grungy ripped up sweater, and my rugged combat boots and stroll out the door carelessly. Now I roll out of bed, put on my nicely ironed button down, neatly pressed trousers, and freshly waxed lace-ups and stroll out the door looking like every other average joe out there.
It’s boring and I hate it.
I hate the lack of individuality in business casual and formal dress codes, but it’s something that I and every other corporate junkie out there has to live with. Women have it better though, at least you gals have a wide range of acceptable options. However, us guys are rather limited to our button downs, ties, and trousers (we can add a sweater in the winter, or a polo in the summer if we’re lucky).
So to unbore myself and to spice up the world I’ll be living in for a majority of my adulthood, I’m planning to add a little UMPH UMPH into my business casual wardrobe. Curious?

Metro Pop Magazine was a bit of a mystery to me - I went to Chapters with the intention of finding another copy of Lula Magazine (which, since I’ve reported, has never surfaced on a bookshelf again for me), but came out with a copy of Z!nk Magazine and Metro Pop, totalling about $12.50 altogether.
My main motivator for buying Metro Pop was that it was sealed with a mysterious gift contained inside the pages. From my endless efforts to tilt and see what it was inside, I determined it was either a) A Swim Cap or b) Something inflatable because it looked like it had a valve.
And what was it?
