They Say, "Be Afraid." You're Not Like The Others, Futuristic Lover.

Lola's Room blazer, Bongo jeans, Frye boots, American Apparel scarf, "Karl" tee from Kensignton Market.

I wore my hair in the Lady Gaga hair bow! Surprisingly easy thanks to this tutorial. Truthfully, half the reason I did this hairstyle was just to see if I could pull it off, the other half was that I wanted to see people's reactions. To be honest, not as much shock and outrage as I had hoped for. (I'll try harder next time.)

Started using tag.loudly and I'm loving the ability to tag my photos as well as the awesome image quality. Also, considering changing the blog layout. I don't feel it's a good fit for my personality but since I have little to no grasp of HTML/CSS, I'm stuck for now. Now adding "Learn How to Use Dreamweaver" to my impossibly long list of summer to-dos.

P.S. Thanks to Vess for taking these.

The Grey Before The Storm

I feel like I haven't posted in forever. Between Thanksgiving, being sick, school kicking my ass and actually having a social life I feel like I've barely had time to breathe over the last two weeks.

Zara jacket, Stitches dress, Forever 21 necklace, Hue tights, Frye boots.

All grey outfits are my favourite. Wore this first look later in the afternoon to lunch with a friend and for other errands which included replacing a lost driver's license (annoying) and getting a new Blackberry! (Awesome.) I got the dress above for 5 dollars at an outlet, and I'm in love... so obviously I had to buy it in black too. Also, I'm wearing the Frye boots from this post. I've actually worn them every day since I bought them two weeks ago - I'm definitely getting my money's worth.

Lola's Room blazer, Forever 21 blouse, tie stolen from my Dad.

I wore this second look earlier in the day to classes for International Suit Up Day - an event inspired by "How I Met Your Mother", a show which I never actually watched. To be honest, I just liked the idea of wearing a tie (although it kind of made me feel like Avril Lavigne circa 2002.)


P.S. I'd like to state that I'm quite proud of myself for keeping it classy and monochromatic the entire day, even right down to the nail polish.

I Got To Fold 'Cause These Hands Are Too Shaky To Hold

The pictures of this outfit cam out kinda blurry and unfocused, sorry about that =/ Now that I'm back at school without my Dad's dSLR I've just been using my shitty P&S - and without flash, everything kind of goes to shit.

Lola's Room blazer, Costa Blanca shorts, random blouse.

This past weekend was homecoming! I go to an Ontario university well known both for it's academics and hard-partying reputation. The gold star on my school's record of imfamy was earned in 2004 when a car was flipped over and lit on fire during the annual homecoming street party - by students that weren't even from our school. So with dropping alumni donations due to a smeared reputation and a recession, our genius (read: idiotic) new principal decided to cancel homecoming for both last year AND this year.

And what was Homecoming now became Fauxcoming. I spent my Fauxcoming weekend nearly getting trampled in club lineups, hopping fences to get into house parties, watching police do nothing but waste our tax dollars and throw undeserving students in the back of police trucks - not to mention trying to avoid large piles of shit left by horses of said police (and mildly failing. Gross.)

But no good night ends without dancing, so after all those shenanigans we danced the night away at a local bar, which was way more fun than I anticipated. I might have pretended to not hear the cover girl say I had to pay five dollars - but hey, I had no cash and no one stopped me! Sometimes the best things in life do come for free.


P.S. Gave in, bought the black Frye boots from this post and they arrived yesterday! Will post pictures tomorrow. =)

Out With the Old, In With the (Re)new(ed).

Lola's Room blazer. Garage dress (worn as skirt). Payless oxford heels. H&M tights. Urban Outfitters BDG T-shirt. Forever XXI bangle. Pocket watch & rings from flea market.

I get so bored of my wardrobe sometimes; I have no money and very few interesting pieces in my wardrobe. I've started to try and find multiple uses/way to wear everything in my closet to give it new life. I need to start making some money this summer so I can invest in some basics. At $21, I have to say these Payless heels were an amazing buy. I love them - comfortable, cute and versatile.

Just to Stay in the Corner of Your Heart.

Outfit Post for 2010.03.11.
(I thought I'd start giving them real names instead of systematically naming them, but since I'm bad with names I'm warning you in advance that they will likely all be song lyrics.)

 American Apparel Headband & Afrika Pocket Frock (worn as shirt). Dish jeans. Converse Shoes. Lola's Room blazer. H&M necklace. Guess? bracelet. 

So I know my eyebrows are incredibly unruly, but I kind of like it. Also, this American Apparel dress is by far one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe, but I only ever wear it clubbing. I thought I'd try to adapt it for day wear.

I'm supposed to studying for my Anatomy practical tomorrow morning, but it feels so useless - it's so hard to study theory for a practical, because no matter how well you know the theory there's a very large chance it won't translate over to real life. 

I just need it to be St. Patty's; I need midterms to finally be OVER.
