Drop Clothes Not Bombs!
Profile
SAMANTHA ☆ SHEILA ☆ FIONA
We realized that our title can be pretty misleading; the blog has nothing to do with dropping clothes for peace or any sort of nudity for that matter. We do like shiny things though.

Title: That's mint.
Date: Sunday, February 28, 2010
Yo, peeps!
Much to the dismay of DCNB, we decided to follow up on our previous promise of blogging more by undertaking yet another absense. In our defense, however, the Olympics were taking place and while Sam was working her butt off for some much needed mula for our upcoming Disneyland trip, me and Fiona decided to embark on our own adventures which mostly consisted of venturing Downtown and taking in all the sites. Below are the outfits we wore to Fiona's best friend's, and my new friend's, birthday. We'd made a pit stop at Safeway and decided to make use of the cookie/frozen goods aisle by photographing in it.

Aldo Purse; Unknown Cardigan; Rodarte Shirt; Unknown Skirt
5 feet. :)

Dynamite Pleather Jacket; H&M Purse; Thrifted Shirt; Payless Booties.Mmm, Oreo thins!


This man-inspired outfit was worn to an outing in Granville Island. Boy, do they ever have good hot dogs.
Mom's shirt; AA Cardigan; Aldo Necklace

Indubiously,
Sheila

Title: Tassels, ya dig?
Date: Saturday, February 6, 2010
Ello me hearties!
Exams finished a week ago and after seven days of sitting in class and doing absolutely nothing productive, I've decided to finally break the non-blogging streak that DCNB has been undergoing. Below is the outfit I plan on wearing to work later today as well as for my long awaited date with my good friend, Spencer. Most of the items were handed down to me from my mom so a special shout out to her for going through menopause and not being able to fit into these clothes! Please excuse the crappy pictures and superhero-like poses; the pictures really do look better on my Mac and like I've said before, my entire being was not made for model-esque stances and blue steel facial expressions.
I wanted to showcase my ring, and this is the best I could come up with.



luv U macbuk 4lyfe.


With love from Burnaby, (hah!)

Title: Petuitarious Shrinky Dinky!
Date: Sunday, August 16, 2009
I love Emma Watson; she simply embodies all things elegant. Not only is she talented in front of the camera, but she's smart, has nice skin, (Harry Potter quip for those that noticed :D) is dating a boyfriend obtaining the occupation of a banker (not that she needs to be a gold-digger) and has a bloody good fashion sense. Not to mention she's British and all British people are tantalizing to me the moment they are born. Below are some reasons why I'd like to raid her wardrobe or give her a hug.
I simply adore how this origami-cut dress is intensified by beaded extras.

I'm not a particular fan of 3/4 sleeve dresses, but this number makes my heart flutter.

Because of this, I have an uncanny yearning for leather.

Wishin I was H. Potter's best friend,

Title: Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card!
Date: Sunday, July 26, 2009
A few days ago, me and my fellow blogger Daniel ventured downtown to enjoy the thrilling experience of being in a library that has 7 levels. What could be more fun than going to the library and enjoying the site of books on a sunny, warm day? The answer, my compadres is, 'nothing'. Heaven is one of the few words that could describe this as a bookworm such as myself took in all the wonderful, shelved sights. After going to each level in search of the Jane Austin classic, Sense and Sensibility, me and Daniel enjoyed some yogen fruz and sun. I lala-love cold food and hot days.Off the Wall Shirt; F21 Skirt; H&M Slingpack; Front&Company Sunglasses; UO Sandals


Off, off and away!

Title: blackonblack
Date: Friday, March 6, 2009

Holla.
So despite the worlds crappy economy (I just made myself sound like my dad) I actually had a job interview today! Above is the outfit I wore that hopefully disguised my nerves and didn't make me appear to be too in love with black.
-Garage tshirt
-Garage pants
-Pacsun cardigan
-Aldo accessories necklace
PS: Please forgive my un-modelesque pose and backdrop. I've realized I look somewhat distorted if I try to appear serious and my apartment is just a big bunch of clutterage. And incase your questioning my sense of fashion due to my socks, I didn't actually wear those to the interview :D Really sorry about the bad photography too - couldn't find my dads camera and was stuck with using mine.

Cheers!
Sheila aka The White One.

Title: Blog Virgins: Be gentle, we're inexperienced. Literally...
Date: Saturday, February 28, 2009
Holla
So we guess "coming soon" was a bit of an understatement considering this post is pretty much a month late... But anyways, Why this name? Because we think that if everyone dropped clothes instead of bombs, the world would be a happier place (PLUS WE DA BOMB!)
Disclaimer: Our title does not promote nudity. In fact, it is a serious issue that children are exposed to nudity so much in our society, forcing them to grow up. Not cool, but we still are! Awesome.

SHEILA: THE WHITE ONE
Testing testing un deux trois!
Bonjour amigos! I'm Sheila and I like to think I’m bilingual even though the extent of my language knowledge includes English, some French, and random words picked out from other dialects that when formed in a sentence are not comprehensible whatsoever. But this blog isn't about my lack of bilingual sentence structure; instead it’s about a girl with no life who lives off of Perez Hilton and fashion blogs. Similar to my granny sounding name, I like to think of my style as old fashion - but not to the point of wearing lacy turtle necks and dresses that flow below your toes. I'm not the most fashion conscientious person considering I am currently wearing a shirt with a rather large armpit hole, but all the same, I hope you enjoy dawdling along my blogging "journey" as I attempt to overcome horrid fashion trends and strive towards the ones worth striving for.

FIONA: THE MUSTACHE
Hi, I'm Fiona & I don't really have a mustache. If I did, I'd shave that bad boy every morning and at five o'clock. Sheila said I'm "city chic" even though she doesn't know what that means, and I don't either. I like wearing heels because I'm a bit short of five feet (even though whenever people ask, I simply reply "Five feet baby!"). To see me NOT wearing leggings or tights is like to see a lunar eclipse: it happens, yet it's quite rare. I haven't really found my "style" yet, so I guess this blog plays a part in my "teenaged girl trying to find her identity" journey. Which is quite difficult since I'm a poor little girl who longs for clothes too expensive for her wallet's taste. I like thinking I have wit, and EDGE.. even though I've been told before that I belong in a fairy tale Cool beans!

SAMANTHA: THE SKY SCRAPER

The tall one.

The Ugg hunter.

The destroyer of all things Ed Hardy.

Just kidding. Maybe. I’m the one who rarely wears pants for some reason- Perhaps my love of skirts is too great, or maybe it’s my annoying habit of putting two legs in the same pant leg. One can never tell. On the rare occasions that I do squeeze into a pair, people usually come up to me with the same reaction one might have when seeing a real live unicorn, or finding a half-eaten slice of elderly cheese on toast purportedly showing the image of the blessed Virgin Mary. Anyways, I am Samantha. Call me Sam. I like long walks on the beach, romantic candle-lit dinners, and planning the assassination of Christian Audiger. I have no sense of direction when it comes to my style so I, like most of us here on DCNB, am just looking for something that works.

DANIEL: THE SPY PANTS
1. Manufactured by mother and father
2. Imported from Vancouver
3. 80% Filipino 20% Bitch
4. Machine wash warm
5. Tumble dry low

Well, now that you’ve gotten the basic structure of my exterior, I get can down to the soul, the grit of things. I’m pretty sure “grit” belongs nowhere in that sentence, but it sounded smart, so I shall leave it. I believe in tough love, sometimes, being an outright bitch to a certain extent, especially when it comes to clothes that are fuggers. So, I may seem harsh, but take it as constructive criticism. But onto more important questions that may boggle your mind, what’s my style? Well to begin, my style is...is... well, as my co-blogger put it – Classy Casual. But in my opinion, i have no idea. “Wherever the fashion path takes me” as I like to put it - what does that mean? Well, i believe that our fashion lives are like a gravel bound rode. we have the weeds, they represent the clothes we never want to exist but they do anyways, the pretty flowers, they represent the expensive clothing that we can see but not touch, then there are the pebbles. They represent the annoying child hood style in which our parents dressed us in. These pebbles tend to stick to our Steven Madden soles. They will only be gone until we pick them out and bury it so it is forever gone, only leaving the remnants of our embarrassing attempt to wipe it off the face of the earth... But on a lighter note, why did i partake in this online journal excursion? Because I wanted to, but it could also be because I’m lacking particularly in the “life” department. I mean, I have one; it’s just non - existent at the moment. Moving on, what do I have to contribute to this blog other than my incredible ability to calculate the total cost with taxes and subtracting the sale percentage from the lowest ticketed price? That may only be it. But in all honesty, let’s just say the guy side of things with a hint of bitch and style. Or style with a hint of bitch and guy. Or even bitch with a hint of guy and style. So that’s it. I leave you with the immortal words of Russell Peters “Just take it, and go!”



The Sky Scraper, The White One, The Mustache, The Spy Pants

And with this, we bid you Adieu!
Sincerely,
The Bomb Squad.
