Long Weekend

I dont know what it is about the May long weekend but Im pretty sure it has had some sort of bad weather curse for as long as I can remember. I kind of feel like I should be getting back out my winter clothing, it really hasnt been gone for long anyways. Oh well its just nice to have a few days off and sleep in, how I miss sleep. Lots that I want to share, including a few recent purchases =)

But first, Mesh + Jeans = awesome? Who knew.. Helmut Lang apparently.

These are pretty cool too.. I dont know why but they all remind me a little of catwoman.photos from shopbop

Also, check out this song! yellowbrite smile by yoav I cant stop listening to it!

Round up

This past week has kind of flown by, before I know it Im completely neglecting my blog. In short summary, spent last week attempting to get back into shape, refraining from spending any money by avoiding mostly all stores, movies (iron man 2), haircut.. which for once in my life I actually kind of like, this stylist will be a keeper, and watching my hockey team get eliminated from the playoffs (nooo!). Anyways now Im kind of doing a little practicum for finishing up school. Im kind of dying because I have to get up at like 530am everyday, considering Im defnitely a night person this has been insanely difficult. My goal is to catch up on everything on the weekend, one busy weekend ahead!

Anyways I try to keep myself going through this long week by checking out some of my favorite sites, one being pixie market! I love looking through their site, they always have unique items and create nice and interesting looks, here are some of my faves as of late:

Looks like Im all about the nudes right now, btw whats up with the tails? What do you guys think about them? I personally find them kinda weird.. but I do like soft things so I dont know? Only faux tales would be acceptable.. but still, right now I dont see myself buying a tail.

Tap, tap, tap

Finally done with this semester of school, I've kind of been insanely lazy and sleeping in until 12, oh summer how I love you! Now if we could only get some weather that reasonably resembles summer.

So I've been on the search for some different than denim shorts as I mentioned before, I saw these few at Urban Outfitters that look promising, I hope that they have them in the stores.. I really want to see them in person just to make sure they dont look too Pajama-esque, so far though looking good!
What do you guys think? Best colour?

All photos from UO's website.

Fade to white

Im usually very boring and plain with my denim, just very particular in general. It has to be very soft and comfy, plus they have to have just the right amount of stretch because no stretch cuts off circulation and too much is just gross. Lately though I've kind of been tempted to break out of my mold.

I saw this pair on shopbop, J Brand Ombre.. kind of a nice summer alternative to light/faded and plain white.

Shopbop, $185

These photos are from MKA's new denim line for Elizabeth & James called Textile. From what I've seen so far it hasn't gotten the greatest reviews, but I kind of love it. I never thought Id like the look of flares again since I left them behind in grade 4. Trust the Olsens to make me like the idea again. The real test will be how they look on, but I really love the syling they did for this guide. The detail is kind of hard to see in these pictures but for the rest of the denim and looks you can view them on intermix's website.

Noo Monday

Sad the weekend is over. Not looking forward to another long week, I need school to be over. My procrastination is growing everyday.

I was browsing Studded Hearts not to long ago and saw this photo.. since shoe porn is apparently a term now.. I guess this is what one might call ring porn. Love it =) Now Im sleepy and off to bed!

Byebye Long Weekend

I hope you all had a great long weekend, mine was pretty good, I was pretty much extremely lazy =)

So I mentioned before that I always have a little list of stuff I want for spring/summer, lets start with shorts. Of course I have the usual blah denim shorts (dont get me wrong though I still love them), but this summer I would like something a little different as well. I want both leather/leather-esque shorts, and possibly silk shorts. The only thing Im worried about silk shorts is they are going to come off looking like pajamas or something. And I say leather-esque because I saw these ones at Forever 21 and they are called "glazed" shorts or something, but they still kinda have that leathery appearance. I was also thinking maybe even lace shorts.. but I dont even know if these exist or how they would look, they would somehow have to be non transparent lace.. hm. What do we think about the whole leathery shorts idea?

Friday night movie night

It was a double flick movie night tonight, The Blind Side and The Notebook, I hadn't ever seen the Blind Side, good movie. Andd the Notebook can still make me cry. I always used to think my mom was crazy for crying in so many movies, apparently she gave me the crying gene because I could probably cry over some cheesy semi-sad commercial. Its bad, doesnt even matter if I've seen it before, my friend wanted to watch Bridge to Terabithia one time, I had already seen it and I thought I could handle it, definitely not! I was not expecting that movie to be sad, but I couldnt even hold it together the 2nd time around. Kind of embarassing, this is why I refuse to watch even remotely looking sad movies in the theatre.

Anyways enough crying, I went to H&M today and the new Garden Collection was in, and it was so cheap! I got one of the dresses for $15.95! I picked up a few other things while out today too despite the fact I had put myself on a no shopping policy for awhile, oops!

After looking around Stockholm Streetstyle today.. I think this kinda confirms I need to try on a longer skirt.. I havent even ever considered a long skirt since like grade 3 when I had this really hippie-ish looking one that I loved..

Spring Cleaning

So I finally decided to fulfill a goal I made so long ago and do a major overhaul clean on my room/closet. Im starting with my magazines, I dont know if I've ever mentioned that Im a total maga-holic, I just hate to throw any out. But it was getting crazy, taking up like half of my floor space, its seriously like in the hundreds. Bad, I know. My mom even offered me $40 just to throw them out, haha she clearly does not like my magazine/floor look. I came up with a plan to toss some, and just rip out inspiring photos that I want to save, and keep some others actually arranged on a book shelf. Let me tell you, its very tiring, but Im making progress!

I also dont know if I've ever mentioned I am not a fan of earrings. The whole idea of sticking something through my ear, with the fear of some possible chance it could be ripped out is just not something I care to ever experience. Not only that but I always found them uncomfortable, just the feeling of things on my ears bothers me, so I let the piercings I had grow shut many years ago.

A few days ago I saw this ear cuff/ change on earring, whatever you want to call it, and thought it was such a fabulous alternative. This is so much better to me than earrings will ever be. I honestly would love to try something like this out, would it not be so great in something brighter as well? Some turquoise, or maybe even a feathery peacock.

Little Moon

Just from this photo Im already excited to see the rest of Wilfreds new "Little Moon" collection, Wilfred has always been my favorite thing from Aritzia - minus their hike in prices, but still this looks awesome. I need me some summer.

05/03/2010

So happy the weekend is here, its funny how a break can go by so fast yet as soon as school gets back in, its like time stands still.

Im pretty sure everyone I know right now is in a little bit of Olympic withdrawal, I miss it a little too. I still wish I could have gone to some events, but for the most part it was too expensive for the events I wanted, (aka hockey up to like $25000 - yeah seriously.) But it was honestly still such a great experience and I will always remember it, the atmosphere and the excitement was really something I cant explain unless you were here to experience it yourself, definitely a once in a lifetime kind of thing. Not to mention last Sundays mens gold hockey game was the most pumped and exciting day that I have ever seen, amazing!

In all the excitement I really didnt take that many photos, but I thought Id share a few of the photos I did capture.

^ Athletes Olympic Village ^Molson Canadian Hockey house, aka major party every night, I didnt go though, tickets were too pricey for me ;)

^Part of the houses and pavillions at night, pretty much any night time photo I took turned out blurry, this was about the best I had

^A few people wanting to get a look at the imprisoned torch/cauldron^Just a few more people

^Random people who waited in a 3+ hour line-up to zipline over the city square packed with people, definitely looked liked fun but I didnt want to wait in line.

The weather was so abnormally warm and gorgeous for a good portion of the time they were on too, which was great. Im kind of loving this really warm winter =)

Right now Im working on my list of must have spring items I want.. so far its pretty long as it usually is.. I'll share it with you when Im done. Whats on your must have list so far this spring?

Almost Over

Hello all, so my break had a little side track when I got incredibly sick at the beginning of last week. Yeah, sucked, Im still sad about it. So pretty much the later half of my break was spent with a stuffed up head and sore throat attempting to sleep most of the day. Not exactly the fun stuff I had planned. I will be looking forward to being able to taste food once again. I did get to enjoy everything before that though. This whole Olympic experience has been a blast, I will actually be really sad to see it and all the people go. I will also be sad to go back to school.

Had to share these photos I saw on Fashion Gone Rogue, I always love these types of shoots with fields of daisies and wheat with dreamy lighting.

Im seriously gonna have to run through a field of flowers/wheat one nice sunny day with a slight breeze, it will be awesome =)

Spring has Arrived?

I've been having such a good time enjoying the break, its soo nice to sleep in, and stay up late guilt free. Im such a night owl so its great to be able to sleep in until 1pm if I choose too =)

Im honestly loving the city right now I never realized how exciting the Olympics would be, I cant really even explain it, everyone is soo spirited and excited, the patriotism and happiness is truly inspiring. Not only that but the events going on are an absolute blast, never thought I would enjoy standing in the rain watching an outdoor concert so much. The weather has turned super amazing though, we're having like 16c days and total sunshine which is pretty amazing for Feb, it doesnt even feel like winter. So its probably obvious I already have my eyes on all things spring!

Before I go into all things spring, I thought Id show you my new ring!

New goal: Buy rings with coloured stones, and other jewellery besides rings!

Oh also, the rings from the previous post, the 1st one is from a mall stand called "Peruvian Silver" they dont have a website but their email is peruviansilverdesigns@live.com
The 2nd and 3rd were from a boutique called Crush, which also doesnt really have a website, but her email is CrushClothing@shaw.ca

RIP Alexander McQueen, such a sad loss to the fashion world.

Sleepless

Its probably my own fault, but I've been so sleepless lately I kinda feel like Im in a whirlwind of a week. Luckily I only have to survive two more days and three more exams until my two week olympic break. Then I can get in some much needed rest and hopefully join in on some Olympic fun. Honestly, thats all I've been hearing about, it's kind of like Christmas just in Vancouver, once its over its going to be such a sadness to the city; you know when you were a kid on Christmas, after it was all over, it was just such a letdown that all that built up excitement is over. I honestly dont know what people will talk about.

Just a few quick snaps I took from last week.. more to come! =)

I bought another new ring too, this addiction could become seriously dangerous to my bank account.
