Who's Bad I'm Bad

Let's forget about my wobbly knees and my dry elbow
for a second and talk about this amazing jacket, shall we?



OR SHOULD I LET THE PHOTOS DO THE TALKING...

Now this little number right here I found at the very back of my Mother's closet tucked away behind who knows what and to be perfectly honest I pulled it out and gave it a slight "Holy shit" out loud. Well it deserved one, plus I was home alone. The one-of-a-kind jacket, complete with sequins and shoulder pads and more sequins came into my life at the perfect yet undeniably ironic time, considering the recent death of the only man I know that could probably pull something off like this. Consider this my (belated) tribute, sans the crotch grab.

PS. Unintentionally, most people remember exactly WHERE they were, WHAT they were doing, WHO they were with and HOW they found out the moment they first heard the news of MJ's death



ME? Getting out of my car at the Sunridge Mall parking lot, about to visit Jer at work, with AK, via a text message from Mano.

Everything's Gunna Be Alright

It is with no doubt that my go-to spot for when I need a quick-fix of online, "wishlist" shopping is Oak NYC. Seriously, not only do they carry all of the sickest brands from A-Z (Acne to Vena Cava) but they are amazing at updating their stock, I kid you not, on a daily basis. Plus, I'm a big fan of the way they photograph their pieces. Could almost classify it as editorial. Anyways, when I heard OAK was launching this new Every One is A.OK concept shop that would consist of specifically picked mixed & vintage pieces that wouldn't kill your bank account, I knew everyone was going to love it & the offerings would be amazing. Of course they did not disappoint; here are a few of the many that caught my eye:

The Marquis & Camus Collections

GGGB's top picks from the Modern Rebel collection ($225-$385 US).



M&C. Established Fall 2006, despite only being a couple years old, Marquis & Camus has already made a name for themselves in the jewelry industry. Their modern and edgy pieces are loved by many, having been spotted on everyone from celebrities to the familiar fashion forward femmes of NYC. The best part about them? Each piece is truly one of a kind; antiquated treasures of the past (which are carefully handpicked from estate sales, auctions and flea markets) are used and combined with more modern materials like leather, sterling silver, ETC. "Modern Rebel"? So me. Check out their other collections too, though (linked @ bottom).

• I love going through her closet -- regardless of being different sizes (that dress shirt is a size 8), I still manage to find things that I love, that somehow fit me. Or in this case, things that I can wear oversized.
• Vintage Lacoste? Classic. Light blue? My fave. Big ass sleeves? Rolled them up.
• The scarf I'm wearing is actually part of a limited edition artist series that Aritzia did a while back, a collab with Robyn Cameron. It featured her artwork on items such as t-shirts, tank tops, etc., but these scarves in particular never actually hit the sales floor; they were made exclusively for the staff and given to everyone as Christmas presents.
• Size is nothing to the Universe.
