The newest OPI collection (for September) is Peanuts (Charles Schulz) inspired! More specifically, inspired by the classic Halloween cartoon; It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! I am definitely going to get my hands on Good Grief and probably one of the sparkles, most likely To Beagle or Not to Beagle.

I'm currently on a friends' computer and I'm going to attempt to publish a quick post, because it's been a really long time.

Last time I was home, I received a copy of Fashion magazine that had been waiting for me - the September issue with Lana Del Rey on the cover. My mom had saved a copy for me (two, actually) because quite honestly I am devoutly obsessed with Lana. There was a lot of good stuff in that magazine. Something that caught my eye, was a clutch by designer Anya Hindmarch.

clutch by Anya Hindmarch, $1595.00

Pearl necklace by Cezanne, $28.00, available at my work, Hudson's Bay :)

Anya Hindmarch is a British handbag/accessories designer. I've only just discovered her, but after visiting her website I instantly fell in love. I especially love the AW 2014 collection, "Counter Culture". That's where the above bag is from. It's a rectangular clutch with a print of a vintage box of Corn Flakes! I love this so much. There are others, too; Coco Pops, and Frosties (Frosted Flakes). This entire collection, and the fashion show, had grocery store vibes. JUST like Chanel AW 2014, which was set in a faux grocery store and featured models carrying very ornate shopping baskets. For Anya's show, some of the models pushed regular shopping carts. I always love when food finds its way into fashion, so I obviously love both aforementioned shows. The magazine I saw it in, Fashion (originated out of Toronto) did their own shoot inspired by the Chanel show, in a grocery store in downtown Toronto. It was quite good, and very colourful.

There's something very pop-art-esque about incorporating brands into fashion and art. Like how Andy loved to draw and paint things like Campbell's soup cans or Brillo boxes. Making a bag out of old cereal boxes seems, sort of simple, but I think its fantastic in its own right.

And now, here are my favourite pics from the Anya Hindmarch AW2014 show:









I love this foil candy wrapper purse so much!

It's becoming apparent that food has been a long running theme through many of my posts. Perfume cakes, photoshoots with giant ice cream cones, now this.

Things I like: food, yummy food, miniatures, miniature food, sunglasses, crafts, gluing stuff onto other stuff, and of course I like when things I like, collaborate. That's why these super cool sunglasses, each with tiny food cabochons, are right up my alley.

Fruit Punch sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $50
These tasty shades include mini strawberries, oranges, dragonfruit, watermelon, apples, pears,
*I think* white dragon fruit, and I honestly think those are just pink pears? 

Pizza sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $50
These slices seem to have dipping sauce all over them

Hot Dog sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $44
Complete with relish! These might be my favourite pair

Pretzel sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $40
Just kidding, I want these the most (with pretzel earrings to match)

Hoagie sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $40
What's a hoagie? These are basically mini sandwiches - burgers or hot dogs? I also spy mini fried eggs as toppings!

Doughnut sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $50
Now onto desserts! Colourful, frosted, sprinkled doughnuts

Cake sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $88
Cake all around, including heart shaped cakes with roses and some with tiny fruits. Some doughnuts too!

Cake sunglasses from Gasoline Glamour - $46
A simpler pair of cake shades, with some doughnuts too

For your viewing pleasure!
From the vaults, (as they say) here is one of my favourite Summer photoshoots of all time; from the one and only Tim Walker.

This shoot is from the Summer of 2012, for Mulberry. The location for this shoot was Brighton Pier on the South Coast of England.



I just love the oversized props. Who got to keep those after the shoot? I would definitely fill my home with giant ice cream cones and candy.
