Birds, Birds, Birds

So I've banned myself from stores for a couple of days to gather my senses. The fall stuff is just too much for me, the boots, the jackets, the colors, the chunky knits, I want it all! I would say I've tryed to avoid online stores as well, but that would be a lie because it didnt last even a half day.

During that half day I ended up looking on the Tattoologist, which became slightly addicting, its making me seriously want a tattoo, but for now I think im just too undecided when it comes to lifelong decisions like that. Im thinking someone needs to come up with a better temporary tattoo that lasts about a month or two, that would be really cool. Im thinking I would get a bird of some kind or a feather or something else whimsically.




Some of my faves, especially that last one!

I Need these!

Chunky knits, and lots of them!!

Sorry I've been so MIA, its just been insanely hot so I've been really lazy. I also went to Seattle for a couple of nights and got some pretty sweet deals that could never be had in Canada. And Im pretty sure Im actually addicted to Tims Ice Caps.

Wandering

Since getting back into the internet groove I've been really looking into all things fall. I can't help it, this seasons fall stuff has me very excited! I decided to play around with polyvore a little more so I could make some collages.. Im still very much a work in progress, Im very slow at adapting to any new programs.

Anyhow I decided to make a little collage with one of my fave photos from an editorial I showed awhile back and stick it with some of the boots Im most excited about this season. I actually picked up the dark brown Tommy Hilfiger booties in navy blue last year at Ross for only 15.99, so excited to get wearing them this fall!

Back

Kinda sucks getting back into reality, being blissed out in the heat floating on a lake or being surrounded by amazing scenery kinda kicks the ass of work and the reality of being back in the city. Its also somewhat harder adjusting to internet than I always think it will be, weird because I usually spend a lot of time consumed, but once you break free of not having any its kinda nice for awhile.

Since getting back to the internet I've been catching up on all my usual blogs and sites, checking out whats new. And even though Im enjoying the warm summer weather I cant help but be more excited than usual about whats in store this Fall. Is it just me or does this falls items seem even more appealing than usual?

Im especially loving Topshops collection!

So what are you guys most excited about for fall?

Update!

I kinda forgot to mention that Im on a vacation, I've been in beautifulll Banff the past few days, doing all things outdoorsy and seeing all sorts of amazing sights and wildlife, many piks to share.

Im leaving now for my cabin which has no wifi or any kind of internet so I wont be posting anything till I get back. See you in a about a week =)

Evil Twin

Summer has finally arrived..about time.. although I dont want to jynx it since it could go back to total crap in no time. Someone told me that Canadians talk about weather more than any other country, I dont know where their source was but I can very much believe it because we talk about weather a lot.. I know I do, Im always posting about it and complaing and such. But I refuse to complain about this scorching weather even though I feel gross after just coming out of the shower! Id much rather this than 12c rain in July. Also.. for a random note my bangs are totally pissing me off, you know that stage where you need a trim again and they just annoyingly dont sit right and feel all uncomfortable, I need a trim asap!

Also check out this lookbook from Evil Twin

An awesome looking Kersh blanket sweater, perfect for this "summer" weather we've been having, I actually took out my Olympic Canada toque for Canada day yesterday, yeah July.1st and Im contemplating toques, wtf is up with our weather!?

Desert Suede

For those not ready to take the clog plunge.. these seem like a decent alternative =) Even though they dont really resemble clogs they have the whole wood base thing going on, plus studs. I kinda love them!

$396 at bluefly

Now off to scarf down my last bit of yogurt, then fasting for 10hrs to get blood taken, noooo! =(

Rain

Im so sick of rain, especially in June it seems like thats all we've been getting with one day here and there of nice sun just to tease us. So in keep with the rain theme I saw this rainy editorial, I wish I looked this glam in the rain.

Iced Tea, Chains and Purple Princesses

Soo I decided technology hates me. Pretty much every electronic device I own has decided to test my patience lately, and let me tell you it doesnt take long before Im ready to throw the flimsy made items on the floor. My phone, camera, ipod and laptop have decided upon a full force combined attack lately *sigh*

Anyways, a couple of weeks ago I received this awesome hand chain from Leticia at LaDama! I've been wanting something like this forever, but haven't been able to find anything similar around Vancouver, it was a match made in cyberspace =) Big thanks again to Leticia!

I also bought this new nail polish, 'playfair' by opi, its kind of difficult to make out in the photo, taking self hand photos is a lot more awkward than I thought it would be. I was hoping for a light purple, but it turned out rather pearly and princessy, not my kinda thing. Oh well at least I got it at 50% off!
