I'm always curious as to where people get their inspiration, so I thought I would share some of my favourite blogs at the moment. For those of you who don't yet have a <a href="http://bloglovin.com/" target="_blank">bloglovin'</a> account, I would highly recommend getting one. It's a website that keeps track of all of your favourite blogs and lets you know which ones have been updated, saving you the time of visiting each site separately. While you're there, be sure to <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/2127598/piece-of-pickle" target="_blank">follow me on bloglovin'</a>!<br />

Karla's Closet was one of the first blogs I ever started following back in high school. She has an incredibly unique style and wears it with such confidence. I love that she'll get all gussied up in vintage tea dresses for afternoon strolls!<br />

I am bowing down to sites like <a href="http://www.thecoveteur.com/" target="_blank">The Coveteur</a> and <a href="http://www.closetvisit.com/" target="_blank">Closet Visit</a> for giving me endless inspiration (and fueling my procrastination). Both sites enter the homes of fashion's most influential people and give us a peep at their home decor and prized possessions. The pictures are a delicious mix of beautiful clothes and quirky decorating and I often leave with an overwhelming desire to go to the nearest garage sale to find interesting items for <b>my</b> house.<br />

I was so impressed that they streamed Coachella live on YouTube this year, what a smart move. I was able to catch The National, Ellie Goulding, Ratatat and Mumford & Sons from 3000 miles away while studying for finals. <br />
I usually look forward to Coachella every year because it's a guaranteed mecca for fashionistas, but so far I'm a little disappointed with the looks that have cropped up on the internet. It seems that all the outfits are a variation of the same trend: boho hipster chic. I actually like some of the aspects of this look but it can look really bad if you're trying to emulate it from all angles. The best example of this would be none other than Vanessa Hudgens, who is clearly still trying to shed her Disney image (as if the nudie pix weren't enough).<br />

And to add insult to injury, you walk over to the window to see umbrella-covered people trudging along the sidewalks. Here are some ideas to combat those dark and gloomy days where you just don't want to leave the comfort of your own home:<br />
<br />
1. Cook a meal that is extra generous on the cheese...<br />
There is just something comforting about cheese. Especially warm cheese. To me, it even beats chocolate in the rainy-day food category.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EBuh9-tAl0A/TZoAkgLtfUI/AAAAAAAAAeo/jvRba7TEJ_M/s1600/SAM_0651.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EBuh9-tAl0A/TZoAkgLtfUI/AAAAAAAAAeo/jvRba7TEJ_M/s640/SAM_0651.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>the best cheesy garlic bread your mouth will ever taste</i></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n1Btluu95UE/TZoAqwhKRgI/AAAAAAAAAes/XquR9Ind-zs/s1600/SAM_0623.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n1Btluu95UE/TZoAqwhKRgI/AAAAAAAAAes/XquR9Ind-zs/s640/SAM_0623.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>meatball sub on crispy parmesan-oregano bread with caramelized onions, garlic tomato sauce, and heaps of mozzarella</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2<i>.</i> Have your rainy-day playlist ready.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Playing peppy or top 40 music on rainy days is completely obnoxious and unwelcome. Nobody wants to hear Britney Spears' latest club track or upbeat Beach Boys tunes that just increase your resentment for the weather. An ugly day deserves its own playlist of introspective tunes that make you itch for a cup of scorching tea and have you reaching for your fleece blanket. Some of my soggy weather faves:<br />

these dudes are really mastering the whole layered look, topped off with some scarves that i would really love to steal.<br />

4. <b>casey abrams</b><br />
i've started watching american idol for the first time since kelly clarkson's season, mainly because i wanted to see how steven tyler and j.lo would judge (turns out they are the best thing to happen to this show in a long time). the one stand-out contestant so far for me is casey abrams. after seeing this performance during the last episode of hollywood week, i think it's safe to say that i have a full-blown crush on him.<br />

Cannot WAIT for weather that doesn't require me to wear waterproof boots. Here are two denim trends that I'm looking forward to this spring:<br />
listening to: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYEDA3JcQqw" target="_blank">rolling in the deep- adele</a><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ruvme_ZfLWk/TVGn84IvuKI/AAAAAAAAAZo/YUSqRjGZ2LY/s1600/croppedncuffed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="466" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ruvme_ZfLWk/TVGn84IvuKI/AAAAAAAAAZo/YUSqRjGZ2LY/s640/croppedncuffed.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The great thing about this style is that you don't necessarily have to buy "cropped jeans" but you can just cuff the ones you already own. They look great light and baggy as well as dark and tight. Pair them with high heels for extra height (I love the look of the dark cropped pair with the high heeled ankle boots on the far right) or with flats for easy-going comfort!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ruvme_ZfLWk/TVGowOvdbII/AAAAAAAAAZs/_XZIgY0NxfM/s1600/fittedwithflare.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="470" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ruvme_ZfLWk/TVGowOvdbII/AAAAAAAAAZs/_XZIgY0NxfM/s640/fittedwithflare.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Before the appearance of skinny jeans, it was all about flare and bootcut denim. I remember my favourite pair of jeans in grade 3 was a spectacular flared number from Old Navy with flower embroidery at the bottom (um...yah, you had them too). Not only are dark flare jeans extremely flattering on every body type, but when you wear them with heels, they can instantly make anyone under 5"5 look like Gisele Bundchen. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

5. <b>lockers in the house</b><br />
i remember being <i>so</i> excited when i entered grade 7 and i finally got a locker. you can relive the memory of grade school with lockers as home decor. they keep things organized while adding an eclectic vibe. the only question is...where do you find them??<br />

....i don't even know what to say.<br />
my favourite couple by <b>far </b>is coco rocha and james conran. maybe it's because i've seen their wedding video, like, 38 times but it's mainly because they're so adorable. for those of you who haven't seen this cinematographic masterpiece yet, i've added the video at the end of the post. <i>you're welcome</i>.<br />

some faves that i found:<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zemkodUsPEw" target="_blank">maximalist- baths</a><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0BHLPlidI4&ob=av2nl" target="_blank">ambling alp- yeasayer</a><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB1TyFKdPi4&ob=av2nm" target="_blank">if you return (feat. little dragon)- maximum balloon</a><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JdVrgJ5r2o" target="_blank">love more- sharon van etten</a><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YphfwlMxhMA" target="_blank">heartbeat- blackbird blackbird</a><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UM0RZ3C2oA" target="_blank">sunspray- blackbird blackbird</a><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfySK7CLEEg&ob=av2el" target="_blank">bloodbuzz ohio- the national</a><br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr7IPnV0Qzc" target="_blank">never never (sbtrkt remix)- little dragon</a><br />
don't know why i seem to be in an electro/chillwave music mood. it's nice to listen to while walking around..<br />
<br />
also, went to see <b>little dragon</b> last night!! was incredible. yukimi nagano (the lead singer) is adorable live and i would say she is now in serious competition with emily haines for best stage presence. she was like a little musical nymph dancing across the stage with her sequined leopard print shoes. they of course played one of my all-time favourite songs, 'blinking pigs' which was a transcendent experience in itself! jessica and i got there early enough that we were directly in front of the stage. here are some pics:<br />

(maybe minus the yeti turtleneck) also, love the model's simple hair and makeup.<br />
