Two Worlds in Half, and I'm Still Wishing.

Urban Outfitters cardigan, Stitches top, Bongo jeans, ASOS ring.

Basis of this look: Simple black canvas, garnished with a few quirks.
Sometimes, it's all in the details.

All Black Everything (Again)

Urban Outfitters tunic, Costa Blanca shorts, Hue tights, Forever 21 earrings, thrifted leather belt, ring & necklace from flea market.

Getting details shots on Photobooth is kind a of a bitch. Sorry for the rather alarming last shot, lol.

Another all black look - I'm trying not to bore you guys but all black is just so easy. This outfit definitely got me a few "WTF is she wearing?" stares today, which is strange because everything I wore today was pretty standard Uni wear - although maybe not in the way I wore it. This UO tunic is too short be worn on its own (or even with leggings, in my opinion... I've tried) so I chose to add black shorts under it to make a it little less scandalous. To be honest, it's actually more clear in the pictures than in real life that I'm wearing shorts. Short version of this story: people were confused. I was most certainly asked if I was wearing a skort.

But back to all black everything - it's awesome. I have a friend who dresses only in monochrome. A look at her closet:

I'm seriously jealous. Imagine how easy it would be to get dressed in the morning? Every time I look at her closet, I seriously consider converting... but one look in my closet at all the clothing I love (ranging over every colour of the rainbow) is enough to change my mind back.


P.S. If you want to know what shoes I'm wearing, just imagine the above outfit with these boots. I wear them almost everyday - so worth the money.

Do It Like A Brother, Do It Like A Dude.

H&M waistcoat, Garage dress, American Apparel lace shirt, lulumumu @ Etsy necklace, Urban Outfitters gloves.

Not going to lie, this outfit is basically a day version of the one worn in this post not too long ago (aka this weekend, lol.) It's inspired by Jessie J's new song "Do It Like A Dude" which is underneath these photos. Most powerful voice I have heard from an artist in a while. If you want to feel uplifted, look up her song "Who You Are". Few people can make those lyrics work without seeming cheesy but Jessie J is certainly one of those people.

Do Right And Kill Everything

Urban Outfitters top, Torrid jacket, Bongo jeans, Converse shoes, Forever 21 necklace, rings from Ebay and fleamarket.

Friday's outfit. This jacket is one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe. I really never get to wear it though, because (as you can see) it's bright, neon pink - which isn't the easiest colour to work with. I might have ended up looking like a hipster, but that's okay. I've decided that on Fridays, I'll let my inner hipster roam wild and free. She's been locked up far too long.

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!)

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.

Father forgive me, for I have sinned.

 Aldo rain boots. Urban Outfitters BDG shirt. Thrifted blazer. American Apparel leggings & sheer circle scarf (borrowed from Darcy). H&M necklace. Ring from flea market.

Yesterday, I had an Anatomy presentation in which I played a nun. I know what you're thinking, how could those things possibly relate? Well I did a presentation on Alzheimer's, and we got a lot of information from this study, which is actually quite cool.

 Me as a nun:

The AA scarf actually made quite a good habit (the head scarf nuns wear), if I do say so myself. Unfortunately it's not mine, I borrowed it from Darcy. Speaking of Darcy, she's started a food blog, The Wind Up Bird Wonderland. You should check it out =)

For a sample of her cooking, here's a delicious omelette that she made for me this weekend:

 
Also, yesterday went to AA and picked up a black Micro-Mesh Bodysuit, as well as the Long-Sleeve Floral Lace one - despite not having the money to do so. I'm excited to wear them - and you'll be the first to see when I do.

Better Get Your Right Hand Hi

Aritzia TNA touque. American Apparel leggings & socks. Forever 21 belt. Urban Oufitters BDG T-Shirt. Thrifted flannel shirt.

So I am incredibly lazy - took these photos quite a while ago but never got around to posting. About the flannel: I have only just recently discovered the magical wonderland that is Value Village. THE PLACE IS AMAZING. Got this shirt there, and on the day this picture was taken, went vintage shopping. Have also worn several variations of this outfit since then.

Outfit [2010.03.02]

Reading Week was officially over, as of yesterday.
What I wore my first day back:

French Connection top. Urban Outfitters cardigan. American Apparel belt. Dish jeans. "Peace Sign" necklace from the West Indies.

Very casual and toned down, which was a good decision seeing as how I spent the entire day running between class and the library. Had an incredibly hard Molecular Biology midterm last night, Organic Chemistry is up tonight. Wish me luck! <3
