Look-A-Like
















Before I delve into today's post: yes readers, I am alive, I have just been taking a much needed vacation which involved...well a whole lot of nothing really! It's been wonderful.
As many of you will know, during such times as the summer vacation we often end up adopting many bad habits: staying up until the wee hours of the morning, late night McDonald's runs, etc. Most recently I am embarrassed to say that I have taken up the habit of watching bad TV (case in point: my unwavering Bachelorette obsession). Lately I have begun to watch a show called Look-A-Like which claims to take ordinary people who resemble celebrities and (with the use of hair, makeup, and wardrobe), and transform them so that they look identical to these very icons. Whether or not the results are successful, this got me thinking about who I would be if I were a celebrity. While I don't think I resemble anyone in particular I am sometimes told that I look like Rachel Bilson (who is coincidentally one of my favourite actresses!) Since Rachel to me is also quite the style icon I thought I would share some of the images of her at her finest moments. What do you think? Do you see the resemblance? Are you ever compared to a celeb? Let me know!

A Brilliant Mind






















As I spend my time relishing in the mediocrity of suburbia I can't help but to think to summers passed (particularly last summer, in which I spent my time studying Fashion Design in England!) Today I was browsing through my photos where I stumbled accross a series of images taken at London's Design Museum which I had nearly forgotten about! The images in question are by a brilliant talent by the name of Tim Walker. His photos capture a perfect combination of whimsy and high fashion. Frankly I find them to be wonderfully inspiring. Surely as I become more and more nostalgic you will stumble upon more images from years gone by. Until then, Nikki signing out!
