Bored I was . . . .

I hung an empty picture on my wall for the longest while and all it had was the license plate in in and other things that I've removed. I plan on doing the rest of my wall around this frame but this is what I did. . .



My four favorite British lads. . . John, Paul, Ringo & George.

Something about a cute boy with guitar. These are my fave boys Jamie, Joseph & Ryan.

Places I'd like to go. Ok so the first 3 pictures are of India and the last of Venice. But they were just beautiful pictures of India I have to add Greece, San Francisco among other places.

A co-worker drew on my cup and I cut out the part he drew it's the center of all this.

My FAVORITE places in the world Edinburgh, Amsterdam and Dublin. I forgot Paris.

Another of my fave places, Brighton. Above that Jamie and his gorgeous smile.

Three of the most amazing kids I know. Ely, Diego and Ely's little brother Ryland.

Julz got me this Imagine picture when she went to Europe (I forgot where she said . . . it's at the tip of my tongue anyways I love it) and an old picture.

Ticket from a concert of one of my fave more recent bands . . . no more recent fave band . . . oh you get the point Young the Giant. It was great except for the two drunk kids who went crazy and got in everybody's way.

Yesterday I made little goodie bags for people at work (well the people whose company i enjoy :P)

Chocolate covered pretzels with chopped up pieces of candy canes, red sugar, and red white and green sprinkles

Red star sugar cookies. These were kind of a pain to make.

Candy Cane Brownies.

The end result.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

It's been a while . . .

What was going on? I have no idea. i was away one monday and was not using the internet and then I forgot the next two mondays . . . oops.

I got a new hat :)new necklace . . . its OM the eternal sound . . .

some new bracelets too.
the black tank is FAIRLY new.

I am so out of it today though . . . It's taking me all my energy to stay awake right now. My ribs hurt and slammed my knee into the dish washer door at work sooo much fun . . .

OOH I went to see roller derby on saturday night a double header championships game. It was soo much fun even though I went by myself. I've decided I am going to give roller derby a try lifes to short not to try things you want to .

ALSO on a somewhat exciting note WHILE I was away in Powell River visiting my mom for a few days I got an email from a couple of guys who were looking for a singer for their "dreampop" group (I know it sounds weird but they have a really good sound that I liked) they sent me a demo of one of their songs asking for a vocal and lyric demo which I did and sent it back and they LOVED it bbuuuuttt they had also got a number of responses to their ad on craigslist (thats how they found me through MY ad) and were listening to other people and was supposedly suppose to be making a decision this weekend and I haven't heard back hopefully they haven't decided yet. Its exciting stuff but hey they contacted me. http://feralsmusic.bandcamp.com/ here's what they sound like.

I also got another offer from a friend at work to be in this comedy thing. I'm not too sure about the details but it sounds pretty amazing and exciting.

And that's all for manic monday haven't written this much in a long time.

I was just about to go to bed and I remembered what I forgot to do. I get side tracked pretty darn easily. Yea there's a ribbon on my wrist I wore it all day at work and no one said anything and I forgot to take it off for this picture.

They were suppose was to come today between 5-8pm buut i had yoga at 530 and my sister had work til 530 and OF COURSE they come at 5:04! we have to wait til monday . . . so thinking there was no internet I baked then I find out WE HAVE "OUR" internet back . . .

What I Wore Wednesday: A Cheating Farewell

Hi!

For my third and final week of WIWWs, I broke the rules. After a week of swimming, sunning, and geocaching, I returned home from a wee trip to Bellingham and Victoria. Living out of my school backpack for seven days left me wearing an old music festival shirt, jeans, and Birkenstocks to work today. So, instead of modeling my ripped Sasquatch tee (an attempt to remove the scratchy tag ended in disaster), I threw on a few of the various finds from my weekend in Bellingham.


Sometimes I fall over mid-pose:





Outfit Details:
- glasses: Buffalo Exchange (yes, they are goofy. yes, they are fake.)
- shirt: Buffalo Exchange
- belt: fish market in Hamburg(see last week's post)
- trousers: clearance at Urban Outfitters
- boots: Target


I hope everyone had a lovely Wednesday! Goodbye!

Monday, August 15, 2011

well well well

Usually I lay out what I am going to wear the next day the night before so I'm not humming and ha-ing over what to wear. Last night I did not have time nor did I have time in the morning. So this is what I grabbed. I hope I didn't already wear this.

Happy Belated Wednesday!

As promised...late, but nevertheless still proof of how photographing yourself at 7:59 in the morning before you rush off to work is NEVER flattering...



I was planning on wearing something cute, but quickly remembered I'd be shelving books all day and thus changed into something a little more work appropriate. Maybe I'll master this whole adorable thing by next week, my last What I Wore Wednesday...or maybe not...

Outfit Details:
earrings - my mom's
shirt- thrifted
belt - a fish market in Hamburg, Germany (no joke, there was one lonesome stand selling belts...)
pants - Zara in Seville, Spain



Hope you had a lovely Wednesday! Cheers!

What I Wore Wednesday - UPDATE!

I am SO sorry, but today's WIWW post & picture will be slightly belated, to be posted tomorrow... I've had a crazy day and, although I photographed my outfit, did not end up having the time to upload and blog about it! Check back tomorrow morning for a belated, but still accurate description of what I wore (and did!) on this less than noteworthy day.

Cheers!

M-M-Manic Monday

Hello hello . . . it was a beautiful August 8th actually it still is . . . wow I just lost my train of thought . . . I hate it when that happens . . .

Blue striped shirt - thirfted
black yoga shorts (yea i wore these . . .yeah they're short) - yyoga warehouse sale :)


Recent thrift store purchases. I had recently gone through my clothes and got rid of a shit load and I trade in clothes for music good trade I think
I got this before the music for clothes switch. But it was ONLY $2 and I have not seen this before but I like Dan Akroyd and Chevy Chase so it's bound to be funny.

tiny Razorlight record has Golden Touch which is one of my fave songs by them. I THINK they're British . . .?

Joni Mitchell! it has one of my ALL TIME fave songs . . .Case of You

and of course the unforgettable Nat King Cole. . .

and that's about it folks.

ps there is a very exciting art project I am planning . . . in the near future

What I Wore Wednesday - Guest Post Numero Uno

Hello!

After much (well, not really...) careful thought and consideration, this is what I came up with for the first of my three WIWW's!




It really was too warm today to wear nylons, but the dress is a little too short to wear without. Thankfully the bookstore (where I work) is air-conditioned.

Outfit Deets:
Dress - thrifted (Bellingham)
Belt - Zara in Spain
Nylons - Target!
Shoes - found at a super cute, secondhand Outdoor Outfitters shop in Bellingham. (I suppose this means they're thrifted!)

(I just realized that the majority of my outfit is from the US of A, perhaps I should rename this "My American Outfit"...)

PS sorry for the TERRIBLE photo quality, was in a rush and used Photobooth

I'M SORRY SORRY

I Had a legit reason for no manic monday yesterday and I was so excited too cause I didn't work and I thought I'd have it up early. My internet was just not working. In the morning it was fine and then i went grocery shopping and came back and IT WASN'T WORKING!

So yesterday was a gorgeous day even though I ended up staying inside most of the time . . . I know I know what was I thinking.
Black cardigan - thrifted
Nirvana tank - H&M
Dark green Shorts (you can't tell) - Thrifted also

What I Wore Wednesday: Stand Still, Stand Still



Today, I kept it simple outfit-wise because school has gotten crazy busy all of a sudden and I'm trying to juggle a whole bunch of school stuff and a quick trip home this weekend. I am happy to say that I think I am going to be able to succeed, and have arranged a daily goals list for the rest of the week that needs to be completed. That way, I can do all my stuff bit by bit instead of stressing too much. I have been doing this for essays for the last two semesters, but it works really really well. I assign myself a number of words to write per day. So, my 1500 word paper has gotten broken down 3 day intervals of 500 words a day. See? I've got this university thing down!

These are the new moccasins I finally settled on with the Sitka SwarmJam I bought way back in January. They didn't have any Toms in my size and were loath to order in the colour I wanted and everything else was incredibly underwhelming. I'm excited about these puppies though. I think they're pretty adorable and this picture does not do them justice at all.

Off to a birthday party! Have a happy Wednesday!

Outfit Deets
Top- thrifted
sweater- Gap outlet
