ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Switched up the blog layout and switched up my hair while I was at it.
This may sound shallow but my life was so much more magical and filled with wonder when I was changing up my hair every coupla months. There’s just something about the upkeep and thinking about what to do next that keeps you on your toes in all other aspects of life as well. I’d just like to say I’m much...

NEWS:
A selection of items we showed in the fashion show this past summer are now available for pre-order on our online store. All items are handmade so slight variations may occur and there is a (short) waiting time for the products to reach you from the time it’s ordered.
More items will be added to the store within the next coming weeks and we’ll post them on the blog so you know when...

DO YOU WANNA BE IN MY GANG?
Two months of blood sweat and tears later and here it is! With the help of my friend Sonja (homegirl lurking in the back, paler than us all. She’ll be bloggin soon!) we finally got to present something we’ve been wanting to do since the beginning and even went to school for. The show was such a blast. There was a moment with Daynah, Sonja and myself in the backstage,...

M.I.A - XXXO
It took me a while to stop hating on this song, but when I got past the hate and actually had some faith in my favourite artist, I finally got it. To everyone out there thinking M.I.A is “selling out” or has been “taken over by mainstream music” THINK AGAIN. I’ve said it before, this album ROCKS. So this video isn’t just a shitty music video,...

COUVY PRESENTS:
HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
On August 6th, Couvy will be unveiling our first clothing collection. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, you’ll know that we’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. Our concept for the collection is a five-member street gang composed of the leader, the mastermind, the brawn, the goodboy and the lookout. Some of our inspirations for our looks...

Nicki Minaj - Your Love
NOOOO! NICKI! UGH, get that jealous B outta here. Stupid GIRL.
K, I’m a sucker for tragic love stories…and Nicki Minaj. Apparently this song is currently no.1 on the Billboard rap song charts.
Ps. doopa doopa doop doop doop, awwwe. Day

Got my toes done up with the fingernails matching in the fool-proof orange and purple leopard. Nail school rules, I just do my nails all day.
I’ve been catching up on the past week’s worth of internet that isn’t twitter. Been too busy to sit down on a computer. We’re busy cooking up some exciting new thangs…. that we’ll announce soon enough.
And uh, just...

As If
I can’t believe Francisco Costa is remaking Cher’s little white dress…. for $916. I mean, I understand it’s an iconic dress from one of the best movies of all time, but it’s a stretch spaghetti strap extended tank top. Reeeeeally?
It’s available in white AND red for sale here.
Brb, I’m going to attempt to make my own version for $5.

Adventures in Lash Extending
My friend Dina recently got a job at Noir Lash Lounge, where you can get lash extensions done. She needed some models to practice on so I figured, why not, it’ll be a new experience. Wearing strip lashes EVERY DAY is kind ridiculous, but getting extensions has the same look, and it lasts up to 2 weeks. Unless you cry, like I did, that pretty much destroys a lot of them. The whole process...

Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun...
Wooooww. All I gotta say about the last little while, I didn’t really mind the chillier-than-usual summer weather being in school and all, I mean I can’t really enjoy it as much as I did last year when I did fuck all the entire 4 months off. But it was just a little depressing. We spent Canada Day in layers and I even brought the good ol warmth-keeping toque out. How ridiculous it...

DSquared Heels. I didn’t even know that the elastic/bandage ones existed. For the heel height and the low arch, they look like they would be surprisingly comfortable….

Hair from Dream Valley
I’ve grown past the days of using my hair as a outlet for my creativity and experimenting on it to bleached, dyed, and fried death, but if I ever were to dye my hair rainbow colours again I’d do it my little pony styles.

Wait, they call you WHAT?
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” - William Shakespeare, from ‘Romeo and Juliet”
Almost everyone has a nick name or two. Some are cute and innocent and inherited from a childhood habit. Some stick around for a long time, to the point where people forget the name on your birth certificate.
I had this, well I...

CAMPING NAILZ
My camping buddy and makeup artist friend Dina, gave me some pink glitter stripper nails. A couple gems didn’t survive the 3 days and 2 nights of the trip, but they still looked good while I built fires, warded off bears, and it looked pretty damn amazing clutching a kitchen knife in defence of a crazy axe murderer. LOOOOOOONG and painful story short, camping was a nightmare. Endless...

Okay, I just quite my job-jobless; my room’s a mess-packing, and I’m leaving my home of 14 years in three days-Richmond. The brightside is, I get to start painting my nails crazy colours again, because I’m not going to be serving! Yay! Well at least for a bit. I had a dream about...

JAYDIOHEAD
NYC producer Mark Tannone started a Jay-Z vs. Radiohead mash up project early last year. He released two albums in 2009: Jaydiohead which features ten mash ups, and Jaydiohead: The Encore which features five (download them here). Just recently, Tannone released a video visual, directed and produced by Jason Cacioppo, to compliment his work of the mash ups.

RIP Ian Curtis
Ian Curtis, songwriter and vocalist of post-punk band Joy Division passed away 30 years ago today at the age of 23. I’m gonna dust off my Love Will Tear Us Apart 7” and play it today in honour and memory of Ian :)
If you haven’t seen the film Control, I highly recommend you do, Joy Division fan or not. The photography in it alone is worth it.
