of Montreal

Tomorrow I leave for Montreal, and the most fun, crazy long weekend or my short life. So today I'm going to prep by taking a large amount of outfit posts, trying to decide what is perfectly crazy but not over the top. What is quintessentially nonchalant while also looking put together. Oxymoron? Maybe, but I'm going to try and ignore that fact.

But first, I list of the groups I'm going to see at the Osheaga Music Festival. Firstly, the night we arrive I'm going to a club to witness the insanity that is of Montreal. Apparently their stage shows include live animals and a lot of naked.

The next day I'll see Cage the Elephant, Japandroids, Arcade Fire, Stars, Beach House and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. It's gonna be quite a day. And on Sunday Chantal and I will probably just walk around the city.

Some shots from last week, as well as the beautiful stir fry my friends made. It's the first step in our long road to vegetarianism. It did taste fantastic, although next time we'll steam the cauliflower and I won't only contribute bamboo stems- not everyone was a fan.

I'm wearing a vintage dress in the above photos, and flats from the Gap.

Charlie Horse

So I bought this pink button up a long time ago, because I like the triangle shape. Little did I realize that dusty pink looks kinda bad on me. I just can't picture myself in that colour everyday. But I did put an outfit together with it a while back and am finally getting around to posting the pictures.

Just realized no one on the ethernet knows I cut my hair! Well I had to the back was driving me crazy, and also I like a bob here and there so I thought here would be a good place. But I'm still trying to grow it out, slowly but surely. 

bluenotes t-shirt (I flipped it inside out) $8, tights were a gift until I ripped them, vintage jewelry, lace button up and creepers probably cost $10 total

Enjoy summer just like I enjoy Craisons!

How to Make a Living Space

These two songs have been playing constantly in my head, that's what happens when you don't have an ipod.  I think I've finally got it right. In every room there's always one or two things you're embarrassed about; the handmade stuffed animals (batman themed), the copy of twilight you read once and NEVER AGAIN, even a tacky figurine or two. But now I've sorted through and decided what's quintessentially 'me' and what isn't. So yes, twilight got trashed.

I have a theory actually, which I'd like to share once. I've decided that's at this point, with the new movie premiering this weekend, that it has become a social taboo to bash twilight. I'm not an enthusiast, in fact quite the opposite. So I've decided on an action plan: Just stop talking about it. By complaining about the tweens, lack of plot, acting abilities etc., we're still talking, making this fad all the more popular. We're still watching the movies in order to complain about them. Stop giving the man the attention and the money. That's the last I will ever say.

Less Formal Excursions

now lets continue with events, these ones involve less school and more may enjoyment...

My friend cass's 17th birthday. One of the best parties I've ever been too, as you can see by the scrunched up face, that means I was happy. PLUS- any evening that includes group shots this intense has to be pure joy, surely.
wore my favourite baggy t from greece, Old Navy cardigan and the best vintage watch in the world. It actually fell apart halfway through the night, but Devin fould it later and fixed it for me! I love my friends- who else would do that?

Above is my sad excuse for a poker night. Basically no one played except the same three people, who almost immediately lost to Jordan who made like, twenty bucks. But we did successfully tape a pride flag to Emma and take a sufficient amount of pictures with JR bottles in them- it's the Canadian dream.

And this was the day portion of my May 24 weekend. I rented a four person bike, and it was the scariest thing I've ever decided to do. Never again. Mostly because in the back of my head I know I'll get hit by a car one day, I'm way to flexible with pedestrian traffic law.

My Existence in Six Months

So exams happened, and ISUs and art projects. And parties and dramatics. That's mostly all. So I haven't really had time to update this, it was the first thing to go. Luckily however facebook exists so I can post pictures, most of which aren't extremely fashion forward. But haven't you always wanted to see what a fashion blogger dresses like when she isn't 'trying'? I do all the time. For instance, ANNABU's clothes always have this perfect colour scheme, most often. I wonder if she makes time for that everyday? Anyway on to my life with some slight analysis and blurry, stolen from friends photos!

This was my art project, last ever high school art project. It was quite successful I think, except that most people were too scared to ask me what the hell everything meant. And why the lady is blue. I'm not going to bother discussing the outfit because it's basically pointless- I was going for 'budding artist who doesn't care what she looks like'. Imagine that, it worked.

More to come when my internet speeds up, and maybe some other news.

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.
