Friends n' Fashion

Hello all,

I'd like to move away from my ad/PR oriented topics (I think...) for a second and share some interesting blogs that I like to follow.

I don't know much about fashion at all. The extent of my fashionable knowledge is that you shouldn't wear white before Labour Day. Or is it after...

Two of my good friends have really interesting fashion-oriented blogs.


EXHIBIT 1:

PULL TEETH is Andrew.

He's probably the best and "hippest" dressed guy I know. He's very knowledgeable on things a la mode and knows how trends move. He also really likes lady Gaga. What I find fascinating about his blogs is that he'll get inspiration from an outfit from a magazine or whatever other source, and then actually create it in a DIY style:



I mean, inspiration from anywhere, even other centuries:



It's also cool to see what he can do with a bag of studs:





EXHIBIT 2:

KEEP YOUR GUNS AT HOME is Stefanie.

Her blog touches on a variety of subjects from fashion to music, to baby wigs and, of course, Lady Gaga. She is currently attending LaSalle College in Vancouver and doing something along the lines of fashion design (Sorry Steffy, correct me if I'm wrong!). She worked at Nygard in the summer and actually did some design work on the clothing there. This girl isn't behind the till, she's the one designing the clothes!



Some pieces from her illustration class:



She also partakes in the DIY projects as she took a pair of old shoes and re-vamped them with life:




I have no insight on the world of fashion but I find it very interesting to see the work of people who are immersed in it. By no means will I be making things to wear on my body in the near future, so please, check these out instead!
