Yes Mary, You Sure Can Rok.

I received my Jeffrey Campbell "Mary Roks" a little over a week ago and pretty much haven't removed them from my feet at all. I swear, they are so comfortable... it's like you're walking in flats. (Even my friend who despises any elevation in the heel area said they were comfy.)

I'm in love.


Also, stopped at Forever 21 for  mini-accessories run on my way home. The booty:

I had to show off the new ring stand I got from Urban Outfitters, so I used it to to display new rings! And the robot necklace... I die. Honestly, I grabbed before I even realized what I was looking at. Definitely my new favourite accessory.

Anyways, it's Caribana this weekend in T.O. and a lot of craziness is going down... Including me seeing Drake in concert! I am so excited, you can't even understand. There will definitely be pictures =)

Have an awesome weekend (long weekend for my fellow Canadians!)

Are You Satisfied With An Average Life?

Some inspiration:

Such a stunning photo.

I've been wanting to tattoo for a while... this is one of the more interesting ones I've come across which I'm actually considering getting.

Seriously considering making my own DIY Lego headband, or at least a Lego themed accesory. This headband is one of the cutest I've seen in a while.

This Sentence Will Ruin/Save Your Life.

Forever 21 tee, H&M bag, Aldo ring, Ardene's belt, Dad's FCUK shirt worn as skirt, vintage cowboy boots.

This is what what I wore Saturday night, the night I thought I was going to see Inception but ended walking into a packed show and having my ticket refunded. Good times.

Got the whole "Wear-A-Men's-Shirt-As-A-Skirt!" idea from one of Sandra's posts at 5 inch and up. The girl is a genius, seriously. And it turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. (Although my father was less than pleased and my mother "doesn't get kids these days.")

My precious photographer (and one of my best friends):

Also, I have a thing for street signs, no matter what they have written on them... so shiny.

(SLOW = ME. LOOK AT HOW COOL I AM. YOU DON'T WITNESS THIS EVERYDAY, PEOPLE.)

P.S. The title is from a Born Ruffians song - it's an A+ lesson in discontinuous thoughts if I've ever seen one. Much like this post.

I Know You've Been Burned, But Every Fire Is A Lesson Learned.

Received my new Vivenne Westwood knockoff inspired armour ring today - I'm in love already. Painted my nails this beautiful pink-lilac shade in celebration - it's a pretty big deal for me, considering I only paint my nails black. Ever.

I currently own like, 4 rings, I kid you not. I'm honestly just really picky about them, and I just went through an accessories overhaul in which I threw out all my old stuff that was missing a side/tarnished/not my style anymore. Aspiring to have a ring collection more like this:

And while I'm at it, check out Asymmetricera (where I got most of those ring photos from). A style blog run by Sinead & Mychelle; two girls who inspire me daily not just through their own ensembles but also through kick-ass photos they find throughout the net of items & looks most of us could only dream about.

Anyways, off to buy this ring stand from Urban Outfitters:

Here's to hoping it'll help inspire me in my quest to become a fabulous bag lady with way too many rings.

P.S. Updated my sidebar with blogs I've recently fallen in love with. Canadians are bolded because we're too sexy for our shirts.

Some Food For Thought

The shirt film below, "The Colour of Beauty", talks about the blatant racism in the fashion industry towards ethnic models (the film focuses on a black model named Renee Thompson).



How do YOU feel about the industry's narrow, pinhole-like vision of beauty? Where do you feel it is necessary to diversify, to what extent, and what is your reasoning? What can we as consumers do about it?

Everyone's thoughts on the subject are appreciated.
