T is for ... Three (Feathers Vintage) & (Milk) Teeths

It's late and I'm definitely ready for bed (trying this whole 'early to bed, early to rise' thing for class tomorrow), so short and sweet it is:

Milk Teeths is an adorable blog that's having a wonderful contest. Pop on over to this post and fulfill the requirements and ta-da! You're entered! Make sure you stick around after you've entered though. Milk Teeths is full to the brim with wonderful outfits and unique finds, a lot of which end up being posted in her online shop. If I wasn't a broke college student, half that shop would be bought out.

Definitely time for me to head to bed. I didn't end up going to class today (bad student, I know), so I'm going to have to scurry around tomorrow trying to figure out what I missed/what I need to do to catch up. And then it's Semi-Formal at the pub tomorrow night and I still haven't bought my ticket! Can you tell that I'm a procrastinator?!

Bon nuit to you all!

K is for ... Karla's (Closet)

I'm a fan of clothes (really, what girl isn't at least a minor fan?), and I have a deep rooted appreciation for fun second hand/vintage finds (especially now since I've started college) and Karla's Closet is the place to look for fun vintage clothes. Full of bright pictures and dazzling colours, she makes putting together something fun and interesting, as well as easy.

She rocks the short hair in a way that I wish I could and the way she wears bright clothes, plus the list of who/what she's wearing. Which of her outfits is your favourite, Alphabeters? (Yes, I did just make that up, why do you ask?)

I'm off to bed. Orientation starts tomorrow at 9 o'clock. This time change seems to be killing me more than it should. And you'd think with all the dancing I've been doing I'd be wiped! Ah well, I'm sure everything will slip into place. :)

A is for ... Ashley (Eckstein)

To any of my Star Wars: Clone Wars fans, I present the lovely lady who does the voice for Ahsoka Tano! (pictured below for non-fans)
This lovely lady has finally done what many females of the Star Wars fandom have been asking for for years: she's created a clothing AND jewellery line! The online store can be found here at Her Universe. While the collection isn't quite ready yet, you can bet that there's a line just waiting to get their hands on something!

This is copy/pasted from her blog:

Four years ago, when I was cast as the voice of Ahsoka Tano, I scoured the Internet looking for female Star Wars merchandise and I was disheartened by the lack of product. I was told to buy a men’s size ” small ” because there weren’t enough women that would buy merchandise made specifically for them. How could that be? The number of female fans that share my love for this amazing universe is astonishing and, as I discovered, greatly under served. I started doing my research and I found that close to 50% of all Star Wars fans and sci-fi fans in general are women. I also read hundreds of comments from female fans begging for merchandise designed and made specially for them, and not something that was an afterthought made in pink. I decided that I was going to step up to the plate and be their voice. It’s time for fangirls to be heard, recognized and rewarded!

I approve of this girl so much, it's kind of bordering on crazy! I know that, as a fan, it's ridiculously hard to a.) Find shirts, b.) Find something that fits properly, and c.) find shirts made for girls! Also: if you head on over to facebook, they've got a fanpage and are asking the fans what they would like to see on a shirt. So head on over and get the ideas going!

On a slightly related fandom note: I started obsessing watching Supernatural and in episode 4x01 Dean knows how to find Sam by asking the phone company about Wedge Antilles. I love it when fandoms collide. Also on a related note: Anyone else notice how similar Dean Winchester and Arthur Pendragon are? I'm actually wondering if there's any good crossover fic somewhere out there that explores what would happen if they met.

Alright! I got that out of my system! (Though, Antilles and Arthur both begin with 'a'. THIS IS RELEVANT TO OUR INTERESTS. -cough-)

Hopefully I'll be back more regularly. School's just been getting the best of me lately. -sadpandaface- But 63 more days until graduation and then summer! =D

S is for ... (The) Sartorialist

I can only assume you live under a rock if you do not know The Sartorialist, either that or you hate shopping and keep away from any fashion related blogs because frankly any one who likes fashion should know Scott Schuman, the creator of The Sartorialist. Scott Schuman has photographed the likes of Andre 3000, Kanye West and the average man or woman. I personally consider him as the new Godfather of the street fashion photographer. The man is genius.

Obsessively visiting Scott Schuman's blog has taught me that it is not necessarily about the clothes but rather how you wear them, how you carry yourself in your clothes. And the most important lesson: clothes are an extension of your personality. You can express yourself with the help of a t-shirt, a pair of beaten up converses and even a scarf worn in a exciting way. Shoot, the man has me thinking that scarves can be worn in exciting ways!

Aside from visiting The Sarts blog for inspiration, I also visit it to admire his photography. He has an eye for detail and skill that I can only envy. He does more than photograph a person wearing nice clothes but also captures a mood and emotion which brings his photography to a new level.

I strongly recommend not only visiting his blog but also purchasing his book.
