Jingle Jangle

So I've had this strange black lace lingerie piece since the high school days of yore, and even though I never wear it, I can't seem to throw it away because its too pretty. I originally wasn't happy with the outfit I first threw on this morning, so I changed into this and my mood increased tenfold. I wish the wind hadn't blown the skirt, because the draping detail is so dramatic when it hangs properly.

Hildegard of Bingen

Last night I went to an excellent party hosted by some good friends called 'Enter My Rainforest'. They had even had green lightbulbs, crepe streamers and hilarious party-proofing signs everywhere (see below). I was pretty chuffed about my outfit; the dress I'm wearing is really an extra-large t-shirt that I got for free because I volunteered for the Faculty of Environment at my school. Represent! These tights get worn to almost every party I attend, they've got some wicked battle scars. These wonderful boots get worn nearly every day, and the necklace was free from My Name Necklace.


Mad photocred to Tobi Reid!

When I saw this illustration, I sort of fell in love. It reminded me of a tear from the colouring book of my dreams so I printed off the image, and did just that! Now I've got a fun little piece of art hanging on my cork board. Colouring was always one of my favourite activities during kiddie arts & crafts time. I was never able to colour inside the lines but dammit, I had fun.

And She Was...

After not having gone thrifting for months, the urges got so strong that I finally broke down and went to Value Village last week. And am I ever glad I went! The purpose of today's outfit is to display these finds (and you know, look good). My first excellent find was this black drape-y vest, which is cool because its unusual to find avant-garde draped stuff at thrift stores. My second excellent find was this pair of brown cowboy ankle boots! I've been looking for something like these for ages, and I'm glad I finally found my perfect match.

My third thrift find is so epic, that I can only reveal part of it so the epic-ness does not blow your mind. Yes, it is a sweater. It is a sequin sweater. If I could spin all of my life's accomplishments into sweater form, this would be the one.

Term of Destiny

Whew, I just get back from a relaxing Thanksgiving weekend at home only to be thrown headfirst into what seems like a neverending abyss of schoolwork. Pull my hair out and call me dead! Uhhh, just kidding. I'm just going to have to dive headfirst!

Life Lesson Number One: The so-called "relaxation" of a holiday weekend is a total farce.
Life Lesson Number Two: Balenciaga makes like better.
