They Never Tire..

I hope Im not seeming like some sort of mka addict, but I cant help it, Im always impressed by their outfits. I know that some people give them a hard time for looking too sloppy, but I love the fact that they wear what they want, which I find pretty impressive. I dont know about you, but I think its hard sometimes to push away the thought, of people thinking your crazy for wearing what you want to wear. But even though it can be difficult at times, I do think its important.

Anywayss, wanting something purple..

photo from: MKA style

So simple, yet still eye catching.. I also hear that MKA are going to be adding shoes to E&J, can't wait for those previews! This photo also reminds me that I forgot to mention I went to H&M to check out some of the Matthew Williamson stuff.. my location didn't carry very much, but it was kind of how I predicted from online photos.. not worth the expensive price tags! The practically plain blue cardi was about $99.00. Have any of you guys seen it in person yet, what are your thoughts?

04/26/09

Weekends seem to go by so quickly, but I suppose it doesn't matter too much since it's summer now =) Im also still searching for a new job, it's been so hard to find something that's not totally dull =( So I didn't really end up doing too much this weekend, but I did go back to Winners (which is where I found both of the rings). I retured the smaller one, my favorite was the one with the cut-outs as it was most of yours. Unfortunately it was the one which was too big for me, but I got lucky because I ended up finding it in a smaller size while returning the other one, yayy!

Now Im looking for a nice light brown/beige matte colored nail polish, I saw it on someone and ever since have wanted something neutral, will go perfect with my new ring =) I also want these.. Salley Hansen Nail Art Pens, I've seen them advertised in magazines for a couple of months now, unfortunately still no sign of them in store, but they look so fun!

The Rings

So I've been pining over the famous Elizabeth & James knuckle ring for soo long now, and hoping I will magically spot it somewhere or something similar, and I've had absolutely no luck... Until a couple of days ago. They aren't exactly like it, but they are quite a thrilling substitute. I bought both because I wasn't sure which I liked more, so I might still return one. Only problem is the sizes arent quite right, anyways tell me what you think, keep both, or one.. which one!?

The Recap

Hope you guys all had a good weekend! We were blessed with a few nice sunny days again, so I was making as much use out of them as I could. I also went to H&M on Sunday and picked up a couple of things, including a really lovely green colored knit scarf. Im really loving scarves and lately the bright ones have been my favorite. I bought a red one the other day and have had a royal blue one I've been wearing all the time for a couple of months now. I also found a couple of really cool rings, piks to come soon!

Alsoo for some reason I have all of sudden become totally into hockey games, perhaps the inner Canadian in me is finally emerging, but tonight's Canucks game was awesome! So GO canucks, they won 4/4 of their games in the play-offs, and Im so excited to see the upcoming games.

Anywaysss back to fashion, I could not resist posting these boots off of Jak & Jil:

Chanel Iman wearing Akiko Ogawa boots, photo from Jak&Jil.. honestly it took me a double glance to realize these are not cut-outs, but actually some type of awesome steel/mirror reflectors.. and with buckles..these are boots at their finest!

Looks like Im not the only one enjoying the sun...

So did kitty, notice the nice kitty bed right beside her? She refuses to take part in any toy or bed made for cats.

It's Officially Summer!

I finished my exam today, well technically it was yesterday, but now Im officially on summer vacation! It still seems weird to me to start summer vacation in April when it's not anywhere near warm, but I'll take it either way. Now I just need to come up with some plans to keep myself occupied, hmm..

Also totally loving this ring on MK:
Turned out smaller than I thought it would, but you might be able to click to make it bigger or, check it out on olsen annonymous where I found the photo, they also made a fantastic collage of MK's rings!

Sunny Daze

Hope you guys all have some exciting plans for the weekend, mine will be consisting of work, studying, dinner out, and easter =) Lot's of candy to be had this weekend, as if I need it, but at least I'll have a good excuse to eat chocolate at 11am ;) Also on the agenda looking for a new job! It's definitely not an easy task, so far I've had no luck and I really dont want to be stuck in a completely dull job all summer long.

Also I saw these the other day and absolutely fell in love, the lighting is just amazingg!

Although I love them all, I think this one if my fave! ^

Anyone else want to put flowers in your hair and run through a field of daisies with me?.. for some reason I really want to after looking at these..

Christian Louboutin does what..?

Hm, I noticed today that the internet was a buzz with Christian Louboutin doing sneakers.. Photo: nitrolicious

So, what do we think, love/hate? Personally.. Im not lovin' them

But on a happy note my classes are officially over for the summer! yayyy, now just the exam to go!

"Smells Like Teen Spirit"

The past couple of days have been a complete turnaround weatherwise, it's been so nice to see sun and actually warm for the first time in months, I think everyone was completely ecstatic, shorts and flips flops were out, no jackets, and convertible lids down. Sadly I think it will be short lived, but it's nice to see the sun still exists.

So I've been going back to this editorial in this months edition of Elle magazine, I quite liked it, especially Freida's ring! Looks like the next E&J ring to me.

The last outfit is so odd, but so cute at the same time.

Im Back

Sorry for my week plus unannounced hiatus, I just got wrapped up in finishing a huge semester long project, and worrying about the presentation. I've finally finished it though which is so nice to not have to worry about it anymore. Also I've still been sick, I dont know what it wrong with me, I litterally think I have no immune system, I've been avoiding going to the doctor but that's probably what it will have to come down too.
Oh yeah, and my cruel April Fools day joke, was that it was snowing, even sadder when I found out it wasn't a joke. Snow in April? help me!

Okay so I finally took a picture of my new bag:

It's a B.Makowsky bag, same brand as the one I was lusting at in the fall, and the pretty spring ones. I love these bags, the leather is just so nice and buttery! I Saw the spring colored ones, but they were slightly smaller and more expensive, I like to cram my life into my bag so I went with the bigger one. Also my $3.00 belt that Im in love with, leather and chainlink, need I say more?

Weekend Update

I got back from the US a couple of days ago, unfortunately I have no immune system and my cold got worse, but I managed to pull through, I just really want it to be gone now. I dont think this wintery weather is helping much either, it's officially spring, it would be nice to get some sunlight.
Other than being a sicko the US trip was pretty fun, I did some shopping, I bought only a couple of things, mostly because one of my items took up most of my american cash, and with the dollar and all that crap, I didnt have too much left over. I also got a couple of tees from Express. I was a little let down with f21, they didn't have any of the studded jewellery, oh well though, Im hoping to go back when the weather get's a little warmer. I also did the typical touristy things, like the Space Needle in Seattle, pretty cool, I felt like I was going to blow over the edges. I didn't get to stay in Seattle for very long though, Id really like to explore their some more =) Pictures to come =)

Why do I do this to myself..

While taunting myself on Luisaviaroma, I saw this awesome creation:

It's just so awesome, and unusual at the same time, it also costs €17,160.00. I think I should just stop looking at these websites.

So Im going to the US this weekend, even though the dollar is absolutely terrible Im hoping to find some cool buys and maybe get some of those f21 studded acc's that I had been eyeing up a few weeks ago. Of course as my luck would have it I had to aquire a cold =(, but I've been drinking tons of OJ and sleeping lots so hopefully I will fight it off soon enough!

Matthew Williamson For H&M

So I officially got my coldplay tickets, Yessssssss! It's going to be awesome =D

Also I was on of my daily internet cruises and I ran across some previews for Matthew Williamson for H&M. You know.. It seems like every corner you turn theres a new collaboration or celebrity designer, and it's getting to be a bit much, but I cant help but still be intrigued. I do prefer the collaborations much more than the celebrity clothing lines though, speaking of which.. the Jonas brothers clothing line? What's next..

So what do you guys think? I like the look of it so far.. but the prices are a little too steep for me, the first dress goes for about $200, the others dont quite have american pricing yet.

Another Friday The 13th..

It seems like we just had a Friday the 13th not that long ago does it not? Weird. Anyways nothing unlucky happened to me, hopefully you guys fared okay as well.

So I can no longer say that Im about the only Canadian who hasn't seen a hockey game. I went to see my first live game today, and even though my knowledge on the subject ends at 'get the puck in the net', I must say it was actually quite fun!

Now.. how are we feeling about the easter bunny coming early?

Obsessions

So I discovered that Aritzia finally updated their website, I love almost all of it, I believe I mentioned the blazer and current/elliot jeans before, the ones that would bankrupt me $500 *tear* I also bought some similar shorts similar to the ones in the last photo. It would be nice if I could wear them, except -oh yeah, its snowing!?

Last night I also had a dream about finding Alexander Wang bags at a killer steal price.. yeah..just a little bit obsessed.
