hello, hello! :)

Hi all, I'm Maegan, and as you can see from Jae's interview, I'm new to the blog. As I checked the blog today, I realized my introduction was missing any pictures...so Steph insisted I do an outfit post - exciting, right?



Dress - American Apparel Bandeau Pencil Dress, Retail $41
T-Shirt - Ardene, 2/$10
Scarf - Ardene, $14.99 BOGO
Hat - H&M Kids, $6.90
Sweater - H&M, $19.90
Tights - Urban Planet - $4.99?

This is pretty much my outfit for Nuit Blanche/Nick & Norah night planned in advance, with my lovely sick-for-days face, when I rarely ever get sick. Oh, and I'll be wearing my fantastic imitation suede ankle boots, also from Ardene ($30, BOGO)

And If you haven't noticed, I'm holding the samples for Gwen Stefani's latest fragrance line - Harajuku Lovers. "G" smells awesome, seriously, pass by your nearest Shoppers Drug Mart and take a whiff. Since I'm sick, I haven't had the chance to fully smell all the other fragrances yet, but I can't waaaait hahah...

Til next time!

With love, angels, and music, baby

meet megs :)

bonjour, people.
guess what?
SOS is adding a NEW person to the blog.
yes, we are expanding to FOUR bloggers :)

meet maegan : srsly, meet her. i asked her the IMPORTANT questions that EVERYONE needs to have the answers to. & here they are :)

JAE:describe your style
MAEGAN:
My style, as cliche as it sounds, really depends on my mood and whether I'm feeling creative enough to care. As of late, I've been digging through my closet and finding clothes that I haven't worn, or at least haven't worn in awhile and finding a way to incorporate them into outfits in a different way. (Ugh, I sound all self-important, even to myself.) But yeah, I range from preppy Gossip Girl-y, to sorta American Apparel/Urban Outiftters hipster, to minimalist. I'm not the type of girl who can throw on jeans and a hoodie and call it an outfit. Actually, most people know me as the girl who never wears pants. I dress up more than I should most days, but I'm more comfortable in a dress anyhow. I'm kinda loving the fall weather too, since I can play around with layers and boots and tights now. Oh, and I work at Ardene, so I tend to pick up cheap, random accessories like scarves and tights and shoes and necklaces.

JAE:What makes you want to blog?
MAEGAN:
Okay, well, when Steph first told me about SoS, I was definitely intrigued. I was invited to join then, but I thought, why not make my own blog instead? I also felt like I was kind of intruding on an already established good idea. Years ago, I used to make little teeny websites too, which I always thought would evolve into blogs, but never did. (Oh and I'm still a LiveJournal frequenter...) However, the making my own blog thing didn't work out. The main reason? I couldn't think up a name hahaha...and then I got lazy and caught up in working a part-time job at full-time hours. So, now, I'm ready to try this blogging thing out again.

JAE:if music was date-able, what kind of music would you date? (we had quite the animated conversation about this on gtalk)
MAEGAN: err...i don't know what music i would date. what music would you date?
JAE:i would definitely date something jason mraz-y. or rock. i`d definitely date me some good folk-rock. ahaha maybe even jazz. i think i`d like jazz.
MAEGAN: i was thinking jazz too, but i can't think of a nice articulate reason
JAE:jazz is a smooth operator haha
MAEGAN:ahahaha i would date john mayer's guitar solos
JAE:i would too! DEFINITELY date them. i`d definitely sleep with them after the first date! ahaha
MAEGAN: hahahaha how could anyone resist?
JAE:exactlyy...there is no resisting
MAEGAN: if music were date-able, I'd definitely date John Mayer's guitar solos - just 'cause they get me everytime. (FINAL ANSWER.)

JAE: next question - if you had to be stuck in either polka dots or plaid for the rest of your life, what would you choose and why?
MAEGAN:
I think I'd choose plaid, mostly because I feel like polka dots shout "TREND!" while plaid can be done in such a way that they can be understated, and still sorta classic. And I guess I've never really dressed in polka dots, come to think of it...

JAE:last question - you can live in any city in the whole world. what city, and why would you choose it? would it affect your style, music, etc ??
MAEGAN:
Japan. Hands down. I've always, always wanted to go to Japan. So I suppose Tokyo would be my answer. And yes, this is definitely before Gwen Stefani and her Harajuku girls. I've just always loved the culture, not even just the Tokyo side of things, but the traditional aspects too. When I was about eight or nine, I went through a Japan phase where I loved Hello Kitty and read books where the main character travelled to Japan...and I guess I never completely grew out of it. I haven't really ever thought of how Japan would affect my style, but I hear the shopping's pretty awesome, and from what I've seen on blogs, the Japanese fashion-sense isn't bad either. Music-wise, I've never heard any Japanese music, so I can't really say.

so there you have it - that`s maegan! stay tuned for her posts :) we`re excited to have her on our team, soo please give her a warm warm SUPER DELICIOUSLY HOT LIKE FIYAH welcome!!!

love, kisses, & a cookie,

.Blogging Galore.

[ March 14, 2008 ] Hey.. Natasha here. Yes I am the last one to be here and major apologies for it too. Like steph this is my first time blogging, and I am très très excited...hopefully I can make a complete fool out of myself in here, after all it is the best way to learn right? [I can already see the great start I am making ]

This is me, this yellow dress..... Ladies and gentlemen, at first it was not so appealing but I knew that it had to be tried on...and voila it was fantastic [with major convincing from steph] . So I had to purchase it, and guess what! it was a whopping $6.95 [amazing bargain ] . This is why Goodwill is one of the greatest stores ever [one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure] . The shoes are pretty old, it’s from Aldo, and no it was not a bargain. But see those fishnet stockings, they were also today’s purchase and it was 2 for $20 at the bay. I had to get it. Wake up one day and add fishnet stockings to your outfit...and tell me how sexy it makes you feel. I mean everyone is different and it is totally normal to not agree with me, but trust me when I wore them I felt like I was the queen of the world [it only lasted for 2 hours, then I took them off ] . I would love to totally go on with my fishnet stocking ranting but to relief you from the torture I shall move on to the more basic purpose on SOS.

[What’s my purpose on SOS] = I am the HOW – TO girl, you shall learn some very random but useful ways to make your life better [hopefully] . Get ready, next week I will share ways to kill zombies with you all and it will make your life much easier [when we will be under attack ofcourse] . Trust me, maybe not tonight, but later on.......

With mucho love
Natasha M.

Fashionable late? Or just lazy?

I would love to say I just planned to be fashionably late on my input here, but Jae would probably vouch for the latter. In my defence I’ve been pretty busy job hunting (horrible) and school (equally horrible). First time to write a blog entry like EVER, so forgive me for any blogging faux pas.

So here is what I wore to my interview to mexx on Tuesday ... ok horrible picture of what I wore but it was pretty boring... just envision black skinny dress pants and a white yoke top and black plain top. So on the upside I did get the job. So no more job hunting! Down side Totally need to go shopping and fill my closet with black, since it’s the dress code there, I would usually be happier to have an excuse to shop but being broke sucks the joy out of the whole process... UPSIDE is the 50% discount, yes you read right 50% off! down side I`m still broke.

So next blog expect music...

YES this is how I wish to win your love. Just deciding on how I'm going to upload it... AHH and once again I'd like to state. 1st blog entry ever so excuse the all over the place thinking. BUT expect spectacular things in the near future. BWAHAHA

Simply Steph, SOS

a new blog, a new beginning.

Welcome to a Side Order of Style, yet another blog to pay homage to all things chic.

What can you expect to find on SOS?

Photos, & hopefully a lot of them.
Amazing thrift store finds, & hopefully many of those too.
Cool things, like gadgets, gizmos, odds & ends. [Yet again, hopefully many of those.]
How-to guides.
Music recommendations.
& anything else that fits our fancies.

SOS features three regular bloggers - Jae [that`s me], Stephanie & Natasha. We`re all unique, so our blogging styles will be pretty much different, so keep coming in for different posts & all sorts of crazy stuff.

Hope you enjoy, because we plan to!

-Jae, SOS
