I was wearing this outfit around the house to test drive it for the summer, and my dad called me a hippie. Oh wow, he usually doesn't notice a flying fuck of anything I ever wear. I must really resemble a hippie :)

Anyways, I was given an award by Kaila and Cheddah. Now I'm supposed to tag 10 people, link them and tell em why I awarded them. But, as I'm busy moping about my shitty second semester, I can only tag 5 at the moment:(

I award:

WOW! Five whole days since I last updated...all-time personal blog record or what??;)

Obviously I've been very busy (balanching homework and friends and etc.) to have been gone for FIVE freakin' days, and I'm super sorry for not getting back with your comments! Speaking of which, I was really intrigued by the comments on my fur-coat post--blown away by the amount of people with the same views and the very polite disagreements:)Only one blatant anonymous comment...woo hoo!

Anyways, I promise to reply ASAP. But I've got to go to bed right now...waking up early for photography class is not fun.

Hope you liked the two toned lips!

CRAM IT.

ARGH! IGNORE MY SMILEY-FACED PICTURE!
The most dreaded week of the year is taking a toll on me. I am seriously freaking out that I won't hand in my magazine projecton time and that I'll be getting a--gulp--69% OH THE HORROR. That is practically a slap in the face for all the hard work I've been doing (photoshooting, scheming, planning, making phonecalls, stressing connections...blah blah)

*cringe*

End of the story: my graphics devil is having world war three with my geo exam guardian angel. And I wish they'd shut up!

jacket, vintage. top, thrift. belt, secondhand. jeans, sirens, boots, vintage. bag, aldo.

This is todays outfit. I'm wearing a mr. clever tee to suit the mood of exam week. UGH. The nightmare has officially begun!

pretty sweet back view of my favourite new shirt ▲▲▲
and my favourite new statement piece, an amber ring from my aunt ▼▼▼


Exam week is coming up really soon, and right now, I am just stressing ouuuuuuuut!

French film project here, history presentation there, and let's not forget about that pesky accounting exam! UGH. I can't wait until it's over!

In the mean time, here is the shirt which I took my anger out on. I think it went pretty well despite the fact that it was merely a distraction to my "studies"(hours upon hours spent not doing homework)

As far as the DIY goes, I followed the one from childhoodflames. Basically, you cut off the hem, find the first horizontal thread with a seam ripper and start pulling.

SEQUINSANDSTARDUST

GAH! I am busy busy busy this week and should not even be blogging right now, but I had the sudden urge to share with you this intense sequin number! It is seriously the most insane sequined item I've ever seen in my life...It's basically a massive, entirely sequined tshirt that I can wear as a dress. I don't even care if the shoulders are a bit large, it's effin' awesome...

ANYWAYS. Spontaneous post over. Must resume to writing an insanely boring historical-fiction piece about the rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada and whatnot.

vintage sequined shirt, Ragpickers. random bangles.

ORANGEYOUGLAD?

ORANGEYOUGLAD?

...I didn't say banana?

But speaking of bananas...I am going bananas over school! Well, life in general actually. Balancing homework, this blog, my dearly annoying friends and "working out" is so exhausting! Gee, can't wait for university...

"WAHWAHWEEWA!"

"WAHWAHWEEWA!"

borat shirt, VV. suspenders, vintage, jeans sirens, shoes, vintage.

Despite my attempts at dressing 'happy' to "cheer" up my day, things went wrong, horribly wrong. As I was rushing out the door my sneaky water bottle leaked all over my tote bag and all over my makeup stash. SHIT. Not to mentioned sogged up my already soggy lunch wrap. DOUBLE SHIT.

And so, there goes my stupid idea of dressing cheery. Borat, I hate you.

Ph. by Kristine

Hey lovelies! I haven't been around much lately because since school started yesterday, I've been spending the majority of my free time with my butt firmly planted onto a questionably hygienic transit bus seat for hours on end--yuck. But, 'tis the life I chose. I wouldn't be sitting on a public bus for two hours a day if I hadn't chosen to transfer schools, right? Was it even worth it--worth sitting besides countless B.O riddled teens and/or bums on a bus? Well, I'll let you know. It's only been two, agonizingly anti-climactic days after all...

Anyways, I won't go into the incredibly boring details--they might actually put you to sleep. Why don't we just pretend that school hasn't started yet and that this is what I was wearing today? Yeah, that sounds good!

AND DON'T FORGET TO ENTER THE CONTEST IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!

PS. Kendra, if you're reading this, happy birthday! :)

thrifted cardigan and sequin skirt. mom's purple tights. secondhand tattered tanktop. random jewelry + semi-DIYed chunky chain bracelet.

My technical difficulties have yet to end, but today I made a pretty epic move--I finally got a tinypic account! YAY!!! Now if only this lesson didn't take three tragic photobucket fails...

ALSO. a few questions to you tinypic users...does my account have a storage limit or a bandwidth limit? Lastly, can I bulk upload? I hate clicking for one file at a time, even if its the "upload more files" option.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

**ETA**

I'm thinking of getting a new header. What says you?

Is this week a worldwide technology strike or what?! Everyone's been experiencing technical difficulties whether its with the internet, with electronics, with software...etc. Frankly, I am quite fed up with it, and mixed in with the crap weather we're getting here in the 'Peg, I am not a happy camper.

What's worse is my photobucket account has exceed bandwidth again!! And since it won't be reset until the 23rd, I've replaced the pics of the last seven or so posts. And I've also shutdown my photoblog until then...

OH, WILL THIS WEEK EVER END?!

ITSLIGHTNINGBABY

ITSLIGHTNINGBABY

lightning tshirt, blue notes (if you can believe it). glitter tights, aunts. most jewelry is random. and that chunky chain bracelet is DIYed.

OKAY.

So DPP and I still have a mutual-hate-hate-relationship, but seeing as I really needed to do an outfit post, I decided I better grow some freakin' balls and get the hell over it. But guess what?

I AM SO NOT OVER IT. YOU WILL NOT WIN, DPP!

Well, at least I made an outfit post...

THIS.SUCKS.

THIS.SUCKS.

I am very pissed of at my Canon editing software right now, particularly the Digital Photo Professional! It is giving me attitude--everytime I try to convert my edited RAW pictures into JPEG, only some edits stay. That never used to happen before and as a result, the outfit post I took today will have to be set aside until I fix this annoyance... Boo.

See this set of photos and more on my photography blog.

OKAY. So photobucket decided to be a dick and I have exceed my bandwidth. AGAIN. Remember when that happened back in March? Or was that April? This sort of thing usually happens when I get an uprise in hits:) Which isn't always a bad thing, I suppose.

BUT ANYWAYS.

Nobody panic, everything will go back to normal tomorrow, luckily, my PB account resets itself on the 23rd. Until then, enjoy the bubblegum pop photos and ignore the rest of my blog until tommorow...

**ETA using alternate photobucket account incase you're wondering**

tee, thrift. shorts and bag, vintage. shoes are from sirens.

Yay, time for another outfit post:) Picked up the tee at one of my recent VV trips and the awesome tapestry bag at Vintage Glory. Also wearing this aweosme blue/green nail polish I picked up from Ardenes. It's the perfect teal/turquoise shade!

PS. Got a hair cut. It's way shorter than I wanted it to. Will be awaiting for its regrowth:(
