Today's Outfit: Combat Baby



Maybe it's the military vibe of my khaki green belted trench, the brass buttons on the backs of my black leather boots, or my new Wendy Brandes swear rings, but I felt a LOT tougher than your run-of-the-mill petite Asian girl in this outfit! Can I just say how much I love these rings? I've been wearing them constantly since they arrived in the mail about a month ago. The comments and compliments I receive range from "Ohmigod I love your rings! Where'd you get them?" to "I thought you were wearing brass knuckles! You look like you're looking to get into a fight."

WendyB featured this photo in her post yesterday. Click the link to go over to her blog and see a photo of me punching the boy in the face.

  • Trench (H&M)
  • Jeans (Mavi)
  • Boots (Miz Mooz via LF Boutique, NYC)
  • Chain clutch (Chanel)
  • Rings (Wendy Brandes)
By the way, the title of this post comes from one of my favourite Metric songs of all time. Enjoy!



A big thank-you to my friend Felix for taking these pics!

I love a good classic trench. I've been wanting to get one for awhile now, I think they're a great classic investment piece. And those rings are fab! They add an awesome kick to such a classy outfit :D

I love your new trench, and those swear rings are so fun - I get a kick out them every time I see them. Well done, Wendy!

Sadly, no - CTV's video stream is blocked from within the US. I wish I could see it.
