Seeing Green

sweater and boots, both vintage. shirt, old navy. jeans, sirens. jewellery, vintage and secondhand.

Oh, I feel horrible today! my throat really hurts and I'm feeling the way I always do before I get a fever and get sick for two days. AH! THE AGONY! I have a graphics presentation tommorow that I absolutely cannot miss and here I am moping about being sick and without any bleeping chicken noodle soup!

Gah! I wish I had some aroscaldo.



P.S>>
These boots only cost me six bucks!

BEAUTIFULNIGHTMARE

BEAUTIFULNIGHTMARE

Before I get into why I've disappeared off the face of the internet for an entire week--more like five years in blogger-time--I would first like to announce that this random number generator has chosen Lizzy as the winner of the ChicShop.ca giveaway! Woo-hoo! Congrats to Lizzy, and a big thank you to everyone who entered.

I'd also like to formally introduce these photos as the second half of the 'Sweet Dreams' shoot I did with my buddy John and should-be-a-model friend Adrianna. Working with a projector allowed us to switch backgrounds instantly and so easily; it was surreal! So it's only right that we did a  dream-theme, showcasing both an innocent and a dark side.

Now, in regards of my disappearance...It's not terribly exciting. It's just that no school for a week = more shifts + last minute art projects. The only bad thing is that all of this busy-ness is not over. In fact, now that semester two has started, I will be in way over my head than I would've thought possible, ie) right next to the Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Don't worry though, I have a pretty high-stress tolerance. I will plow through my last semester of high school and balance homework/blogging/work, even if I have to multi-task like there's no tomorrow (all the while wearing my dominatrix boots, no less)

Tracks

Tracks

jacket, thrifted. dress, secondhand. tights, walmart. shoes, vintage. hat, urban planet.

Man, I have been so busy this week that I have resorted to blogging in math class. Yes, math class. I always finish early, so I thought I'd do something productive and blog. Might as well, right? Anyway. So, so, so hectic, trying to blog and do my homework at the same time. But the weird thing is that I'm more concerned about being behind in my blogging than school. I am so behind in blogging that this is Monday's outfit I'm posting here. I was going to post originally on that day, but my mother was nagging me to get my arse outta the computer so I didn't have a chance. Yesterday I posted the tags, and didn't want to do the double post. Plus I was busy with newspaper anyway.

So uh, here's Monday's outfit!

Hippie Trip

Hippie Trip

sweater, vintage. shorts, cut-off vintage levis. socks, mom's. boots, vintage. bag, ninewest. jewellery and head chain are random.

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:

Anthea
Jen

Nico

Dani

Marjolein

TAKEITEASY

TAKEITEASY

Ruby Aldridge by Derek Kettela for Dossier Journal

Essentially, this is what I've been doing all day. You know, lounging around, looking pretty whilst achieving absolutely nothing? (Just kidding, I didn't look this attractive, I assure you.) With exam week happening and me not having any at all, I thought I'd take it easy. Because right around the corner is semester two. And bad girls who take postpone all of their major courses until the last semester of their graduating year get it worse, or so I hear. But until then, I shall be lounging here in my skivvies and lolling about on a furry rug while anticipating the worst. Bring it on, I dare say!

Hope you all had a lovely, lingerie-modelling sort of Monday! And don't forget to enter the ChicShop giveaway if you haven't already.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

hat, urban planet. scarf, thrift. tee, thrift. belt, secondhand. jeans, sirens. shoes, vintage. bag, le chateau.

*********In Line At Tim Hortons**********

Mom: "So, what would you like for Christmas?"
Me: "Can I have an ipod touch...pleaseeeeeee?!"
Mom: "HA! No way!"
Me: "Well, What if I pay some?"
Mom: "Uh, how about no, you are not getting an ipod touch?"
Me: "harumph."

********* At Le Chateau**********

Mom: "Wow! Check out that bag!" (points at the green bag in the window)
Me: "It's freaking HOT! Can I have it? For Christmas?"
(after asking the sales person to pry it off the mannequin)
Mom: "It's gorgeous! Do you want it? I'll get it for you for Christmas, but after that no more presents...."
Me: "I don't care! Buy it! BUY IIIIIIIITTTTT!"

*********************************

So, uh yeah. This green gorgeousity is what I got on Wednesday, my two months early christmas present. She even let me use it early, ahhhh! Said she'd re-wrap it at xmas...lol.

This is today's outfit, and I'm wearing my new favourite hat that I also got on Wednesday...at first I was going to splurge 22 bucks for the same hat at LC, but I saw a cheaper version at urban planet (of all places) and had to snatch it up. Anyway, it's my new lover....very fuzzy and I love the whole beanie/pom-pom hat hybrid. Perfect for fall winter.

Also, I got a new banner. Which is also my graphics project for typography. That's right ladies, I made the font, chose the picture and modified the banner in photoshop into oblivion. The original editorial for Numero photographed by Miles Aldridge is here.

comments, people, comments!

Day Off

Day Off

top, joe fresh. scarf, ragpickers. cardi, thrifted. leather fanny pack belt thing, vintage. boots, thrift.

This was yesterday's outfit...I was too lazy to post 'em, so here they are! It looks a lot better in person--the ligthing in these photos are really bad and you can't really see the stripes on my shirt. Plus it was really cloudy that day anyway.

Today I had no school, it was a teachers' meeting. I got my hair 'did' and shopped a little (bought some gooooooooooood stuff). I'll show you my purchases (and hair) later...

...ta-ta for now!

CRAM IT.

CRAM IT.

borat tee, thrift. bandage skirt, thrift (!) belt, secondhand. kneessocks, my mother's. boots, vintage.

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!

CRAZYLEGS

CRAZYLEGS

Even though I can't dance to save my life, and therefor am not famous for any sick dance moves (heaven forbid!) I'm beginning to think that 'crazy legs' will be my new nickname at school anyway. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I've been sporting some crazy leg-wear recently (see zipper leggings) and have gotten all sorts of looks.

But, ehhhhh. I think I'll keep rocking the odd zipper/stud/floral/sheer/bright legging. The weather's been quite nice recently anyway, so why not?

Ahhh...........................................................................................
Headache! Today I had volleyball practice in the morning and almost fell asleep in math class (triangles bore me). Then my aunt came dropped by unexpectedly and postponted my photo takin'. My head hurts and I want a grilled cheese sandwich:(

Oh, and check out the sidebar! Added a new polyvore gadget so you can keep up with my sets:)

The Nine Commandments

The Nine Commandments

Went on an impromptu thrifting escapade on Sunday. Spent fifty somthing bucks and came home with some goooodies! Right now, I'm wearing my dad's plaid shirt; jeans from sirens; a sparkly thrifted cardigan, brown lace up ankle boots and three rings from VV. As for bracelets, I am wearing an extreme excess of gold and more gold. Mostly fake, of course, but who's counting! Oh, and one of them is a ten commandments bracelet, minus one. The fourth commandment fell off...oops!
