Bright Lights and Soft Barbies

And so, life is lovely. What did I do today? I didn't ever really want to be the steriotype, meaning I'd hate to bore people with my fairly pointless life. It has point to me but very few others, just because teenagers lead identical lives. I'll tell you how mine goes: get up, school, ha ha rude jokes with friends, school again, get home, work out (I know I'm so responsible! But actually I'm obsessed now I have to every day. Which is a little scary, because I've had nightmares which entail me waking up as a female body builder.), blog maybe but most likely eat fruit, art projects, essays, listen to radio or read, BED FINALLY THANK CHANCE AND MY OWN DESCISIONS. get it? Because personally, I don't believe in god, I just don't really know where to go from there.

See? My life is so obvious. I suppose I could tell you about my social life, but really, I think it's weird to write about my friends. They can make their own blogs if they want that... deal?

Totally off topic now, I've decided to embrace my flaws. So from now on a don't care if my eyelids are baggy, cause I think it looks artistic. I don't care if spots show, because it's just a way of life, everyone gets them let's not dwell on it. And finally.... I'm no longer scared of my crotch. Notice how I posted the last picture which I would have normally deleted cause you can see a hoo-ha area! So long insecurities.

The Last Born

This just cannot be. I feel as though I deserve much less than what I have. But in a good, kind of freeing way. Apparently materialism is bad, it's a "addiction". I think that's an ok addiction to have though, compared to crack or centaurs or something. This addiction is easy to deal with- simple to accomodate. On that note... this jacket.
In September I saw Metric in this tiny bar, the band was just crushed onto the stage with no space whatsoever. Anyway Emily Haines was wearing the most amazing jacket. Sequins, shoulder pads, gold trim. On my lastest trip to Toronto, after much searching (I found one which was all black but $90, and then this one with an ugly pattern) I found the quintessential sequin jacket. I know this style was popular during the summer... so yes I'm greatly behind- but I don't think that's what style is about anymore.
I promise, next paycheck, huge oversized army jacket... just like the rest of the trendsetting world.

I'm a Lumberjack

And I'm back! From a long hiatus. I don't know why I didn't update, maybe it's sheer laziness- or maybe I'm developing a hidden psychosis? Possibly. Big announcement: I just joined bloglovin', only to realize that budget fashion blogs actually exist (I should have known). So, because I looked at a few which seemed slightly boring, oh dear I really do apologize, I'm not talking about YOUR budget blog. It's fantastic. Anyway,  I've decided to create my own! To try and make bargain hunting a lovely talent.
So here we are, from now on I'm going to name prices and share personal thrifting thoughts.

I'm wearing a thrifted earing (only one cause my right ear hurts) 2 euro, h&m cardigan 5$, the vintage slip, bracelets and belt were gifts. I have a theory, partly taken from the Stylish Wanderer, never seek jewelry, but I also say never buy jewelry. It should just come to you, out of nowhere in particular. I made the necklaces myself, and my shoes are from Spring: $70.
