You are the smell before rain,

you are the blood in my veins.

Hiiii! How's everyone's day been so far? Mine has been extremely random and entertaining to say the least. I woke up to missionaries at my door. Now usually I don't start with them because I've learned that the two things you never argue about are politics and religion, but it was 8 in the morning and I was half asleep so any morals, beliefs or values I would usually reinforce went completely out the window. And I feel bad, mostly because the one guy was realllly hot and being really nice, but at the same time...it was 8 in the morning and I was half asleep. If I see them again, I will apologize but that's highly unlikely. I wouldn't want to see me after what I unleashed. Shame on me. ):

After I started my morning off with a huuuge pang of guilt, I decided to clear my head and go for a walk to Uptown, which is pretty much like Downtown Toronto in my small town. It was beautiful and I wish I could show pictures but sadly my camera is nonexistent so you're just going to have to imagine how beautiful it is. I ran into a few friends I haven't seen in approximately 3 years and we hit up a lovely vegan restaurant we haven't been to in forever. See, I was a vegan for 5 years, but I didn't do it healthily with the eating of the beans and whatnot, so my body began to suffer and I had to stop and recuperate. But now my body seems fine and I'm thinking I may revert back to it, especially after that meal. Soba with Toasted Sesame Seed Sauce. Omnomnomnomnom so gooood.

Anyways, since I actually left my house today, this is what I wore.

Yeah, that's my future hubby. Come on, you can't say you weren't expecting it. :)
Oh and if you're wondering, the song is The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot by Brand New.
The lyrics are absolutely phenomenal. Definitely pulls at the heart strings a little bit. <3

Until next time,

Me.

It's strange how we disappear.

One day, we're just no longer there.

Bonjourno! Just wanna cover a few things today.
1. I just spent the last 24 hours (literally...I have not gone to sleep) renovating this thing. So. Much. HTML. My brain is just done. Hope you like it. :)

2. As you can see, on the side I included some links. The 8track one is pretty useless right now, but I'm going to begin uploading and adding music as soon as I can. That thing is so time consuming it's ridiculous.

3. I'd like to bring your attention to this really awesome guy that you all probably know, Rick Genest aka Zombie Boy aka dope skeleton guy from the "Born This Way" video. I absolutely love this guy and everything he does. I don't know what it is, but the fact that he is badass enough to tattoo every inch of his body as the insides of a person just blew my mind. That stuff is for life, and he does not care and I respect that so much. Without further ado, featured in Vogue Hommes Japan, awesome Zombie Boy, Rick Genest.

LOVE.

Expect to see a lot of this guy throughout the next few posts. I have a new crush. :$

Until next time,

Me.

When you love somebody,
it's hard to think about anything but to breathe.

Goooood morning! I haven't said that in a looong time. My usual "morning" is at 1PM...at the earliest. But today is a good day! Why? Oh I don't know, maybe because I'm hitting up the market where they have theeee coolest things ever. Yeah, I know. Be jealous. I'm so ready for some apple fritters and handmade jewelry! :)

So I came up with this idea. Since I don't have a camera OR the money for a camera, I'm just going to use Polyvore to show you guys my daily outfits. Hopefully it will get me back in the groove of things. :)
Today I am rocking the lazy look since it is 9:32 in the morning...it only makes sense.

This outfit was preeetty much inspired by my constant playing of the Fruit Bats. Listen to le song below. Soooooo many feel good vibezzzzz. What do you think of when you hear it?

Until next time,

Me.

Cute cat videos.

2011-08-13T23:55:00.002-04:00

So if you have a minute why don't we go,
talk about it somewhere only we know?

Hey hi how ya doin? It's a Saturday night and I am pathetically sitting at home in PJ's watching cute cat videos online. It's a lot more depressing than it sounds, to be honest. I was supposed to go to a party with my friends but you know, not having a license/a chauffeur hinders these things. What'd you ladies and gents do tonight? I'm sure it was a lot better than mine.

If you're stuck at home like moi, please join me in watching cute cat videos. Or go on stumbleupon. Best time wasting website ever in the history of everdom.

Oh, don't thank me. Seriously, it's no trouble at all. Well...if you must, you're very welcome. (:

I'm obviously craving human interaction right now.

Until next time,

Me.

2011-08-10T23:20:00.006-04:00

Please, remember me, my misery

and how it lost me all I wanted.

Three things. First, please don't hate me. I know I dipped for a looong time but I am back and I do have time since it's summer and I have no job and no money.

Second, the title of this post seems quite fitting with what I'm going to tell you.

Third, it's a life lesson so buckle down and put your spectacles on, kids. You're about to get taught the best lesson you have ever heard in your existence. By a 17-year-old girl. If you are far too lazy to read my massive story, I have bolded the important stuff. Enjoy.

Let's start off by saying that my life was just a complete mess for the last two years. I got involved with the wrong kids, did mad drugs, smoked til my lungs bled and drank until I puked at least 4 out of 5 days of the week. I dated a moron, got completely screwed over and eventually hit my rock bottom where everyday was a living hell. Getting out of bed before 4 in the afternoon was not an option, going to school was not an option and going a day without getting shitfaced, smoking a pack and a few joints were never an option.

Believe it or not, I am so thankful for all the crap I had to go through because I probably would never appreciate the better things in life. I've replaced all the ones who brought me down with the people who are worth my time and energy. I'm not saying I'm above anyone, but there are people who were just terrible influences on me. I've learned to lead my own life now, and I'm glad. No more peer pressure, because to be completely honest, it's not even worth it. Come on kids, take it from me. It. Is not. Worth. It.

Boys, friends...well, they come and go. But make sure your family is never too far. For some of you, your friends are your family, and that's cool too. Just keep them close because they are the only ones that will help you. When I hit my rock bottom, my family were the only people left to pick me up. They may not have all the money in the world to support my love of fashion, music, design and whatever else, but they try and they do their best. I talked to my family about what was going on, because for the longest time, they had no idea the actual reason behind my sudden change in personality. I was never the type to smoke, stay out all night and come home puking. They were worried at first, but my teenage angst forced them to leave me and let me hit my low, only for them to be waiting with open arms. I have never had a better relationship with them as I do now.

People, never, ever and I mean EVER go for less than you deserve. Whether you are gay, straight, bi, trans, whatever...do not settle. I did, and I left the relationship covered in bruises in every way possible. It's taken some time, but I'm slowly recovering. I no longer flinch when people try to hug me, I no longer punch walls because I can't let out my anger and I certainly do not use alcohol or drugs to make myself feel numb. I've come to terms with my stupid mistakes, and there is no hiding from the realization that you were mistreated by someone who claimed to love you. It hurts but you learn, you cope and you get over it. You find someone better. I did and now I can't begin to tell you how amazing he is. It may not be forever, but he helped me get over my fear of trusting people again, and I will be grateful for the rest of my life that he fixed someone like me, with my history and my problems. There is someone out there, but do not base your happiness off of their existence.

Another thing, be your own person, wear what you want, say what you want (within reason, of course...please refrain from using offensive, discriminatory phrases), think what you want and do what you want because this is your life and you need to enjoy it while you're still here. Nobody is going to remember what you said, what you wore, how much booze you could handle or how much weed you smoked, but they will remember how you lived and how you as a person made them feel. If you want to enjoy life get an education, meet new people, have intelligent conversations and explore. There's nothing more sad than someone who died living in the lines, never experiencing anything for themselves. Just remember that whatever you do WILL have consequences and that is not a threat, that is a promise.

I know you have probably heard this so many times before, but your education is the only thing that will make your life livable. Nobody is going to be there to take care of you, so be independent. Take care of yourself. Fend for yourself. It gets hard, but you are the only person you can really, truly depend on. I know school sucks, but imagine how much it will pay off in 10 years. Your friends that are there for you now? Chances are they won't be there for you later. You can only hold on to someone for so long, and when you reach different paths, you separate. I lost so many of my friends because I no longer go out and drink my face off, do mad drugs or chain smoke until I'm coughing up my lung. And that's cool, it's their choice. But how long can you do that for before you've dug yourself into a deep hole that you can't get out of and have to work at Burger King for the rest of your life? I realized that and I think that my love and passion for music, art, fashion and everything pretty is too much to waste. I want to make my print on the world. I complained about how messed up the world was for so long, but I didn't realize that I was part of the problem. To make the world better, I want to get an education, get a good job that I love and live comfortably. It's going to be a lot of hard work, but it's worth it in the end because that's the life I've always wanted. I don't have to make hundreds of thousands of dollars, but if I can make enough to live the way I've been dreaming of since I was a kid all the while doing something I adore, I will take every opportunity that arises. And you should too because you are so much better, and worth so much more than what you are going through. If you need a rock, depend on the ones who love you endlessly, the ones who stuck by you through everything. I can honestly say I have my system, and although they may not be here forever, they have impacted me in ways I can't even begin to describe. I have everything I need: an education, a family that loves me, a boy that showed me how I deserve to be treated and friends that understand me like no other.

Oh and one last thing, to all those people who told you that would aren't worth anything, that you will never go anywhere...prove them wrong. There is nothing more humiliating than getting slapped in the face with a university degree by the person you doubted for so long. (:

That's my deep, but short version, of my last two years. It's cool if you didn't read it considering it's a bajillion miles long. But for those of you who did, I appreciate it and I really hope you learned something. I don't want to be a nag, preach...whatever you guys say these days, but I just want to warn you of the consequences of your actions. I'm not an adult, but I can honestly say you are not an adult until you've learned about reality. Quit acting like one and embrace your inner kid before it's too late. Because one day it will be too late. Now listen to these song and sing your heart out. It will make you feel so much better.

Yes, I am still obsessed with Mumford & Sons, and their covers.

Oldie but goodie. ;)

I don't speak French very well but this song is upbeat and I love it. The
English translations make it so much better. I recommend finding them on the
interwebz. :)

Have a good one boys and girls.

Until next time,

Me.

Well, you can't get what you want,

but you can get me.

First things first, VISIT THIS BLOG. Love it. You may have heard about it already. It's called Hivennn.
Secondly, I've realized that my blog has turned more music oriented buuuuuut that's cause I haven't had time for fashion browsing/funess at all. I have found some pretty dope songs though. Don't worry, my fashioness is coming back! I was going to post some stuff from Balmain's Spring 2011 but blogger's being a meanie.

Now that that's all cleared up, enjoy some of my most recent music finds. :)

2010-10-26T18:52:00.000-04:00

I really fucked it up this time.
Didn't I, my dear?

I know it's been like, 6 months? since I've posted...ahaha oops. Busy as all hell. Hopefully I'll have time to start doing it again. Just an update. My summer was fucking fantastic! School sucks. Life is good. (:

Anyway...can't write much because I got 2 HUGE assignments to start...due tomorrow. ):

So listen to these songs and be happy. :)

Until next time,

Samantha (:

Your smile fades in the summer.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME AGAIN. But holy crap. School is craaaaaazy. Life is crazy. I'm behind in alllll my classes so I'm kind of screwed. But I'll get it together soon. :)

Anyway, I have been able to keep track of fashion week because I have a fashion course this semester. Yaaaaaay. It's not as good as I was hoping it would be. Actually, it kind of sucks. No wait. The people suck. The class is okay. The teacher and most of the students don't know who Alexander McQueen is. It made me sad.

But anyway. I made sure to check out Jeremy Scott's collection as soon as I got the chance. And once again, he made my life.

This man blew my mind. He always does. Those over-the-knee boots are so badass but the jeweled leather jacket is probably my favourite piece out of everything. I've had a huge obsession with leather jackets recently so this just kind of fed the addiction. The "STYLE" oversized v-neck sweater dress also caught my attention. It took awhile for me to figure out why her arms were out. Then I actually read it and I was like "WOAH". Literally. The silhouette dress/belt thing was so creative. It reminded me of Viktor and Rolf's Fall '08 line. You know, the "NO" one:

Why? I'm not completely sure. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other and don't even look remotely alike. It just reminded me of it. Don't judge.

PS: THIS IS SICK. Watch it.

2010-02-11T17:58:00.001-05:00

Rest in peace, Alexander McQueen. ♥

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I literally JUST saw this on CNN and almost cried. I read the article and freaaaaaaked out. That's so sad. OMG. He was onnly 40. And he was amazing. And I love him. And oh no. :(
WHYYYYYYYYYY GOD?

On his website it read:

"ON BEHALF OF LEE MCQUEEN'S FAMILY, ALEXANDER MCQUEEN TODAY ANNOUNCES THE TRAGIC NEWS THAT LEE MCQUEEN, THE FOUNDER AND DESIGNER OF THE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN BRAND HAS BEEN FOUND DEAD AT HIS HOME. AT THIS STAGE IT IS INAPPROPRIATE TO COMMENT ON THIS TRAGIC NEWS BEYOND SAYING THAT WE ARE DEVASTATED AND ARE SHARING A SENSE OF SHOCK AND GRIEF WITH LEE'S FAMILY."

It then went on to say:

"LEE'S FAMILY HAS ASKED FOR PRIVACY IN ORDER TO COME TO TERMS WITH THIS TERRIBLE NEWS AND WE HOPE THE MEDIA WILL RESPECT THIS."

He was too amazing to die. :(

This is so sad. Like, I don't know what to say.
Nonononononono.

I remember when I first got into fashion, his runway shows were the first ones I saw and it's one of the main reasons I got into it. His unique pieces were always catching my attention and everytime fashion week rolled around, I would always be sure to look at his show as soon as possible. I can honestly say that he is one of my favourite designers and he will be greatly missed. He wasn't afraid to do what he wanted to do an I have a lot of respect for him for doing that. My deepest condolences go out to his friends and family.

2010-02-10T22:33:00.001-05:00

I can't get over the way

you love me like you do.

I know I've been basically MIA for the last month or so but I have reason to! I have no time for anything. My room still looks like a hurricane went through it so I obviously haven't progressed much.
Anyway, I took time out of my busy schedule and, as way for me to procrastinate on my already large pile of binders and textbooks waiting for me on my bed, I made an inspiration thingy. YAY.

Lo and behold, zee insparatshun.

James Dean, "Fame Is Boring" magazine cut out, Alice In Wonderland (SO excited for the movie), Lady Gaga, the stars reflecting off of icicles (I recommend looking it up. It's beautiful!), pretty lady with cool tights and an intense pocket watch, the sky at night (beaut), fireworks, SPACE (YUS!), MORE SPACE (DOUBLE YUS!), Chanel McD's, assorted pictures, newspaper cutouts, SPACE...AGAIN.

Cute, ain't it? Is it obvious that space is kind of amazing to me right now...?

Yeah...I didn't think so either. I should've put more. Dang nabbit.

2010-01-17T13:59:00.001-05:00

Everyone I know goes away in the end.

Holy crap I have been so busy with school and friends and stuff it's ridiculous. I don't have time for anything anymore. Like cleaning my room. It's a total wreck in here. I'm just too busy/lazy to do anything. :(
I can't wait for this semester to end. It's so much work!

I'll be updating more often after next week is over because all my exams will be done! So just letting people know I am still alive. ;)

2009-12-25T14:39:00.001-05:00

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland!

It's been awhile since I've updated, I know. But I just wanted to say Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all of you! Hope you have a good one! :)

I've been crazy busy lately. I've been volunteering all day wrapping gifts at the local mall and at night I've been with family and friends, celebrating. I've barely had time to clean my room. There will be more time for updates though because the Christmas rush is over!

Anywho, I've been listening to Christmas songs all day and hanging out with the famjam then I'm going to a family Christmas party tonight. I just have to clean the bathroom and my bedroom first. So I guess I should get on that...
Yeah...sounds like a plan.

2009-12-09T15:33:00.001-05:00

It seems like everywhere I go,
the more I see the less I know.

Bonjurno! As of today I have pretty much been healed from THE SWINE. I kid you not. I was bed ridden for days. I missed my best friends birthday because I couldn't leave my bed. It was such a mission to go to the bathroom and my room is right beside it. It was bad.

But I'm better now so it's okay!

On a brighter note, IT SNOWED TODAY. Which totally reminded me that Christmas is coming up. Which also reminded me that I need to sign up for my volunteering tomorrow when I leave the house for the first time in almost a week. YES! I wrap gifts at the local mall for a charity. I love it. It makes me so happy!

Ahhh, it's gonna be a good Christmas this year. Speaking of which, what's a good gift to get a boyfriend? Cause I have no idea. He got me a ring that has something engraved in it. Not saying what it is. Hahaha. Then he's getting me something else. I need to get something good. GOOGLE HERE I COME. :)

Before I go, I recommend you listen to this. Kid Cudi is a smart man.

K PEACE.

2009-11-15T16:19:00.001-05:00

Do you realize that you

have the most beautiful face?

I know it's been awhile I'm sorry omg. :(

I haven't had time to do anything. Blaaah!

Anyway, thanks for all the comments broskis and siskis. 'Preciate it. :)

SO ANYWAY. I was thinking I would make a list of all the songs that I have been living off of for the past month or so.

Numero uno, KID CUDI. This man is a freaking genius! Legitly.

Secondly, Do You Realize by The Flaming Lips. My favouritest song right now. :)

Hayloft by Mother Mother. They are a Canadian band. Love them. This song especially. :)

I'll finish later. I should really stop holding off my project before I fail...
BYE.

This door is always open,
no one has the guts to shut us out!

32- God Save the Queen! by Samantha, ♥ featuring Chanel

I haven't been on Polyvore in a LOOOOONG time so I decided to check what's new. That's where I came up with this. I decided I would make a inspiration-y collage of a few things I would probably kill for. Then I got kind of greedy and added like, ten million things. OOPS. That's what happens when you deprive yourself of Polyvore.

Left to right:
Chanel tshirt
Mike & Chris- washed leather jacket
Obesity and Speed- ripped grey tshirt
Vince- dark grey cashmere sweater
Philippe Audibert Manchette- gold plated bracelet
Nina Peter- studded gloves
Osman Yousefzada- blue suede wedges
Kai- jeans
The Sak- green shoulder bag
H&M- faux fur vest
Elizabeth and James- oversized plaid blouse
Topshop- brown studded boots
All Saint's- brown military-inspired boots
Alexander McQueen- studded ring
Chloe- white studded boots
Opening Ceremony- suede lace up boots
John Hardy- black and gold cuff
New York Doll- lace up studded boots

Long enough list? I didn't notice how much was on it until I realized it took me 20 minutes to write it out.
I need a job...for serious. :(
And I need a cameraaaaaa. DANG I'M POOR.

On happier (?) note, I'm looking for some new music. I love bands like The Smiths, Kings of Leon and The Strokes. And I love artists like Kanye West, Kid Cudi and Mika.

Any suggestions?! :)

2009-10-21T20:02:00.001-04:00

I just got an iPod touch and I wanted to test this out. I think it's pretty snazzy.

2009-10-13T18:47:00.002-04:00

Won't you say that you love me
all of the time?

I'm loving music from back in the day. When I say back in the day I'm talking about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
I first started loving these songs after I watched Stand By Me (which is my favourite movie EVER) and I heard songs from Buddy Holly and the Del Vikings, which I loved. Then I started exploring older music and fell inlove with these songs. They are so amazing. It's like, you hear these songs and you think about all the good things because most of these songs are really really happy songs. I love it! :)

For those of you who haven't seen Stand By Me, I really do recommend it. It's a great coming-of-age story. Probably the best I've ever come upon. And River Phoenix (my favourite actor, God bless his soul) is in it. He does SUCH a good job. I fell in love with him after this movie. :)

Here's the trailer! :)

I am IN LOVE with all that 50's inspired stuff. Just the whole feel that the generation gives off is amazing.

I wish I could live back then. Everything was so much...nicer. :)

I would definitely call the 50's one of my biggest inspirations for everything. Stand By me is also in that group.

What is your favourite generation and why?

Like I said, I love the 50's because of the overall feel. The music, the lifestyle, the fashion. Everything.

2009-10-11T13:41:00.001-04:00

I brought down the sky for you,
but all you did was shrug.

I know it's been a week since I updated. DON'T HATE ME. It's been a long, rough, messed up week full of school, homework, family and drama.
Anyway. I know this happened like, last month, but I just started looking through these again on style.com. So I'm kinda behind by a lot. :(

Sykes! :)

What a beaut, eh? I love the rock n' roll feel to it, and the boyfriend blazers and stuff. So pretty!

Want it. Now. Yeah. :)

2009-10-03T13:13:00.002-04:00

Light up, light up,
as if you have a choice.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. I'M EXCITED. OMG. :D

This weekend is (so far) sooooo fun. Went out last night, going out tonight and tomorrow. Then school. :(

But that's okay because this weekend is going to own. YES.

So, for my birthday I know I'm getting a flask from my friend and it's going to be all engraved. I think it's pretty sick. And my parents bought me tickets to go see LMFAO in concert. NOW I am SUUUUPER EXCITED for that. They are freaking AH MAZING. Okay well...not like OMG AMAZING like the Beatles and the Smiths, but still...best party music ever.
OH. If you find swearing, sexual refrences and/or inapproriate-ness offensive, I suggest you don't listen to these. :)

YES- LMFAO

I'm in Miami, Bitch- LMFAO

La La La- LMFAO

Shooting Star- Kevin Rudolf, Pitbull, David Rush & LMFAO

Shots- LMFAO feat. Lil' Jon

I love me some LMFAO. ;)

2009-09-28T17:53:00.009-04:00

Now you're in New York,
these streets will make you feel brand new.
These lights will inspire you.

WELL HELLO. :)

I've been looking at the other shows that I've missed since I have been so busy (-___________-) and I came across Proenza Schouler, who has always been one of my favourites. I can't believe it took me this long to finally look at it. From the first picture I saw, I knew I would love it. And I do. A lot.

Love it. :)

They are GENIUS. Srsly.

2009-09-27T13:40:00.004-04:00

I am the last of the famous
international playboys!

Okay so I finally did my summer soundtrack yesterday and I posted it on the side under "Tunes".
Feel free to listen to it! I love it. :)

Oh, and I also made an inspiration collage. I actually enjoyed creating it too!

Taylor Momsen, polaroids, Mary-Kate Olsen, studs, The Ramones,

Chanel, leather, Chloe Sevigny, Interpol, Edie Sedgewick, Paris.

And then music, art and fashion of course. I tried to fit The Smiths in there, but I couldn't find any space for it. :(

I love The Smiths.

And the song Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys makes me think of New York which also reminds me of the night life which also is a source of inspiration. I love the New York and Paris night life.
What are your inspirations? :)

2009-09-26T16:00:00.005-04:00

Is it too late to remind you how we were?

So my life is pretty crazy right now. Obviously. So much going on. School, friends, family, drama. This sucks. D:
I've been so caught up in everything that I haven't had the time to even look at anything related to fashion week. I should be doing homework right now (I have TONS) but I'm doing this instead. I'll probably regret it later. But oh well.

So I was looking at pictures from fashion week and came across Boy by Band of Outsiders and I've heard of them, but I never really looked at their stuff before. I think I'm in love. Srsly.

source

Love it. :D
I'm going to keep searching. And I WILL post the soundtrack soon. I keep forgetting or getting sidetracked. Gah! :(

2009-09-09T00:20:00.007-04:00

To the few who'd swear,
"I'd never go anywhere",
where are you now?

HEYO. So summer '09 is officially over and I miss it already. Today was our first day back and I know that it's going to be a hell of a year. This semester sucks. Next semester will be AAAAAHMAZING. :D
But I guess I'm going to have to suck it up.
Anyway. This was just a quick update. It's 12:25 AM and I should be sleeping right now. :P
NIGHT!

PS: Just curious, when did you start school? How was the first day? Are you in college or high school? If you're in college, what are you taking? If you're in high school, what are you courses this semester? :)

PPS: I swear I'll post my summer soundtrack soon. I just don't have time right now! :(

2009-09-05T00:34:00.003-04:00

The stars lean down to kiss you,
and I lie awake and miss you.

Good day, readers. Summer '09 is almost over and although I can say that this has been the best summer of my life, I can also say it has been the worst. I made some of the best friendships I have ever had in my life this summer, but I have also lost some of the best. I will forever remember this summer as the summer that I broke out of my shell and lived. I have had the best times of my life in these past 2 months, and I will miss it so much. Until next summer, that is. But with the good times, come the bad. I have gone through hell and back this summer (which is basically the reason for my lack of postage) and I have the best friends to help me through it all. This will be the summer I think back to and remember the amazing times (or the ones I could remember at least) and the sad times but also the friends I made along the way. I will remember this as the summer that Jeremy left us, but new friends came. It's the summer that more celebrities died in two months then the whole of last year (which on a side note I would like to say, rest in peace Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein. You were amazing and will be missed by many.) and this will be the summer that I remember for the rest of my life because I have built the strongest bonds I have ever had.
As another summer ends, you can't help but feel like you're getting older. I know I do. I only have two years left at this school, and after this year, one. I don't know what I'm going to do, where I'm going or who I'll be with, but I can't wait to find out.

Hope your summer was just as amazing, if not better, then mine. :)

PS: I will be posting the soundtrack of my summer next week!

RIP ADAM "DJ AM" GOLDSTEIN

Teenage dream in a teenage circus,
running around like a clown on purpose.

So apparently nobody likes Woodstock. I thought that was pretty interesting. But whatever. :P
Anyway, almost every night, even when I go out, I will come home an watch tv at like, 4 in the morning. I go to all the music channels (there are a lot) to find new music. So, the other night, it was like, 3:30ish in the morning, and I went to this one channel and I saw Mika's new single. For those of you who don't know, Mika is a an artist, orgionally from Lebanon, but out of London. He made the incredibly catchy tune "Grace Kelly". Yeah, ring a bell now? I have always been a fan of Mika, ever since his first album "Life In Cartoon Motion". He had some pretty great songs, which I reccommend you check out. If you want to check them out, I posted some of his videos at the bottom of this post. Anyway, so I saw this video for his new single "We Are Golden" from his new record "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" and of course I loved it. He is such a great musician and I don't know how he isn't as big as the Jonas Brothers.

Videos from his first single, "Life In Cartoon Motion":

1. Happy Ending
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl4WN-aOWDY

2. Love Today
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tcn49zHLt0

3. Lollipop (this is my favourite off his first album)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F99IuKUCAc4

Video from his second album, "The Boy Who Knew Too Much"

1. We Are Golden

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuKBY_ZVIAE

Great song! It's one of those songs that you listen to and it makes you incredibly happy. I listen to it in the morning and I'm happy for like, the whole day. :P

Anyway, I'm going out for the night with some friends. PEACE.

2009-08-14T23:29:00.003-04:00

Acting funny, but I don't know why.
Excuse me while I kiss the sky.

I know I haven't posted in awhile. I've been really incredibly busy. But I'm back. So it's all good. Anyway, it's 11:31PM and in 29 minutes it will be the 40 year anniversary of Woodstock. Now I think that's pretty amazing that's it's been 40 years since that historical concert took place and I really wish they could do it again. But I know for a fact it would not be the same. Not even close.

1 2 3 4 5

PS: As of 12 minutes ago, it is the 40th anniversary. How fun. :O

2009-08-02T16:40:00.005-04:00

And if a double decker bus crashes into us,

to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die.

WOW, I have the BIGGEST obsession with The Smiths right now. I've always liked them, but I'm like, in love with them now. :O
THEY ARE SO FREAKING GOOD. And along with my obsession with them, I also love Kings of Leon. I was listening to their album. On repeat. For three days. The song "Closer" is SO good (kind of reminds me of True Blood...which is also an amazing show!) and "Notion" is also really good. :D
Listen to them. Seriously. SO GOOD. OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!11!!!!1!

OH! One more person. Okay, so. I noticed that everytime Kanye West comes out with a new song, I love it. Even if he's just collaborating with an artist (like "Ego" by Beyonce featuring Kanye), I love it. I just love his voice and his cocky-ness and like, everything. So I was listening to my sisters Kanye West cd because well, I don't buy CD's, and I also listened to that on repeat before my KOL obsession. I like "Streetlights" the mostestest. ;)

Check it out. I love it! :D
His songs are the ones that you hear years from now and remember where you were when you heard it and you connect them back to the good ol' days. ;)

2009-07-27T23:25:00.005-04:00

Tonight, you arrested my mind.

Oh hai. :)
I have realized that I will probably always miss Jay everytime I think of him, and right now, that seems to be often. It's hard to go through all of this while everyone else is just living. I'm not going to lie, it holds me back a lot. But I'm working on it. I've improved a lot since the beginning. I can just imagine what his family feels though. Lately, I've been wondering what he was thinking and what he was doing while he was preparing to do what he did. And I know that sounds pretty terrible, but I really want to know how down he must have been to go through with that. I mean, he must have been pretty badly off to go and do that. He wasn't one for being sad...
And of course there is a commercial about depression playing right now. Goooood timing.
Things are going to be a little slow for a bit considering all that's been going on.
So, sorry if it takes ten years to update. I will try to atleast twice a week, but I can't make any promises.
I think you should listen to this song. It's a really good song. It's called "Belief" by Gavin Degraw. It's not my usual thing, but I heard it on So You Think You Can Dance and I thought it was pretty amazing.

That's all for now. Bye! :)

2009-07-22T15:04:00.003-04:00

Let's get drunk and ride around,
and make peace with an empty town.

Hello! I'm just making a quick update. I've been uber busy with actually having a life. :P
I'm starting to feel better and I've actually been waking up early. Ish. 12:30 in the afternoon. That's better than waking up at 4. So yeah. Improvements. :D

So there's this really epic free concert that a local radio station is hosting on Saturday. It's going to be SO sick. I'm excited. :D
There's going to be bands like Stereos, The New Cities, Finger Eleven, Shiloh, The Midway State and Marianas Trench. OOOOH. Best line up they've had so far. :D

Anywho, I'll probably update later. Maybe.
I'm going to my friends house to go hot tubbing. :D
YAY. Bye! :)

2009-07-19T15:09:00.004-04:00

I wish I was strong enough to breathe,

without you in my life.

HALOHA. ;)
So I was going through the Lookbook forum at like, 5 this morning, and came across this post about Primark's new...line...I guess you can call it. I didn't know what Primark was before this. Well no...that's a lie. I heard of it, but I never knew what they sold. I mean like, I know they sell clothes...but I didn't know what kind of clothes! That's it! :P
Anywho. I saw one of the dresses and it was an incredibly tacky Balmain rip off. I was like "WTF REALLY?!"

RIP OFF:

(source)

REAL:

(source)

SO NOT COOL.
It's cool when you're inspired by something, but ripping it off like that just looks tacky. I hate it. GRRRRRR PEOPLE THESE DAYS. Can't come up with their own stuff.
/rant.

OH, off topic...kind of...anyway...
DID YOU HEAR THAT MADONNA'S STAGE BROKE AND SOMEONE DIED? I just read it a second ago when I got sidetracked from writing this thing. I was like "OMGGGG NO WAY!?!??!?!?"
That kinda sucks. That's probably going to eat away at Madonna for awhile. /:

AAAAAND, one last thing. Do me a HUGE favour and check out my polyvore? :D
I would appreciate the feedback too. :)
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. (L)

http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?id=143218

^^ DO IT UP. :D

2009-07-18T18:14:00.004-04:00

Oh darling, if you leave me,

I'll never make it on my own.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. I WANT DOC MARTEN'S SO BAD. GKA;FJG;AKJG;!

I've always liked them, but I never really thought I would wear them. But after seeing Agyness Deyn and Daisy Lowe sporting them, I've kind of fallen in love with them all over again.

They are SO sick. These floral ones especially. I need a job. So I can buy them and wear the crap out of them. They are a beauty. :D
I was looking at the white ones in this, but they aren't as...grungy to me. I love grungy. :P
I can definitely see myself wearing these with black tights, a black skirt, a graphic tee and a leather jacket. With a gold watch and lots of rings. :D
I like it...

26- I've got a notion that says what doesn't feel right by Samantha, ♥ featuring Forever21

Oh, and if you like Kings of Leon, I recommend checking out their latest single "Notion". It's SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO good. Well, I love it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlaqgcGfS0I
GO WATCH THE VIDEO! ^^

2009-07-17T03:11:00.003-04:00

I can't believe I let you slip away.

OH HI. :D
So I got all the depressing stuff out of my system. Okay...not completely, but enough to go on living normally. Well, normally compared to before. But that's not the point. I'm back and I'm feeling a lot better. :)
Soooooo. I kind of got my inspiration back. I'm actually kind of really happy. I was watching "Running in Heels" which is a (reality?) show about these three interns at Marie Claire. It's epic. And I was like "I WANNA DO THAT!" so I've been up all night researching and reading stuff on Teen Vogue's website. I'm going to expand the topics I talk about on here. Instead of just fashion alone, I'm going to include music, design, art and anything else that may interest me. I'm kind of excited. I think that might help me a little when my inspiration starts to lack.
So I was lying in bed last night and I started thinking about how I've been wasting away my summer. It's the same thing everyday and I'm getting bored of it. I'm going to try doing something new everyday from now on. Speaking of which, I need a bike. /:
I hate walking everywhere. It's a pain in the ass. I saw these adorable 50's-60's ish like bikes when I was in Barrie last weekend with my dad and I was like ":O". For serious. For a good five minutes until I found a Starbucks. :P
I probably won't find any like that again. ):
Like this, except white and not as childish looking.

I loved it. Then I found Starbucks around the corner and I totally forgot about it. ):
I think someone took it because when I went back it was gone...how sad...

HOLY CRAP. If you love Asher Roth (I love collegeeee!), listen to Bad Day. It's HILARIOUS. I LOL'd so bad when I listened to it. OHHH, and it's catchy. :D
KAAAY so. It is now...4:15 in the morning and I think I should really get to bed now.
AU REVOIR, mes amis. (:

2009-07-06T19:57:00.005-04:00

Look at the shape I'm in,
talking to these walls again.

So today while I was looking for some inspiration, I realized that I love Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Seriously. Their style is absolutely amazing.

(source)

I freaking love these two! They are definitely my favourite celebrities when it comes to fashion!

Anywho, I have some cleaning to get done. I went to Barrie with my dad and brother to go visit my Godparents for the weekend and I haven't unpacked yet. I should probably get on that...
BYE! :D

2009-07-02T14:24:00.005-04:00

You wanna check in to the heartbreak hotel,

but sorry, we're closed!

I made my first Polyvore set in like, SO long last night at 3ish in the morning. :P
Oh, and before I forget, HAPPY BELATED CANADA DAY to all the Canadians up in this jointski.
So yeah, my first Polyvore set in like, forever. YAYAY. It's not the most creative thing on the planet, but I wore it yesterday. So yeah. :P
Better than nothing!

21- Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down! by Samantha, ♥ on Polyvore.com

It was cold last night though...holy. Like, I had to wear jeans, a tshirt AND a jacket over top. And I was still cold. ):
But overall, it was good. I had SUCH a good night. :D
Can't wait for next year. ;)

Oh, so. I woke up this morning and once again, the first thing I did was check this blog (that's just how I do) and I saw a comment from Karla and FREAKED. I was like "OMGOMGOGMGOMGOMGOGMGOMGOGMGOMGOGMOGMGOMGOGMGOMGOGMGOMGOGMGOM!!!!!!"
cause I love her blog and omg. :O
Am I the only one that would freak out over that? Ahahahaha. :P
Anywhooooo, I'm going to stop being a creep and start cleaning my room. It's long overdue. Haha. :P
BYEEE!

2009-06-28T14:54:00.004-04:00

I know that we'll have a ball,
if we get down and go out and just lose it all!

Despite the events that have happened recently, my summer has been great! Although I miss Jeremy very much, I know that he wouldn't want us to be like mindless zombies. So for that, I will party with him in mind. If he had a choice, for his funeral, he would have wanted a huge party instead of the old, depressing, wear-all-black thing. This summer is dedicated to him so I'm going to make the best of it. (:
My fashion inspiration is slowly coming back and I'm getting back to my normal self. Of course I'm not fully back to how I used to be, but I will be eventually. It's something to look forward to.
So for now, I'm going to party the summer away and spend as much time as possible with the people I love. I'm excited. :D

I would love to know what you readers are up to this summer! I talk about myself way too much. So tell me, how's your summer been so far? What do you have planned? Tell me! (:

2009-06-20T22:14:00.003-04:00

I'm glad I didn't die before I met you. :]

Hellooo. Well, it's summer vacation as of 10:30 am yesterday. I finished my one and only exam and I am FINALLY free of this depressing school work. :)
SUMMER= PARTY HARDY + SLEEPING IN + FRIENDS - WORK x FUN
:D
Maybe I can find my inspiration again. It's been lacking. My first attempt will be, well, right now. I found some pretty sick sets on Polyvore and I thought I would share. I didn't make ANY of these, by the way. (Thanks to Glitterpills for the idea. 'Preciate it, love.)

Has anyone noticed that I'm SO bipolar when it comes to fashion? I love everything and nothing at the same time and I don't really understand it. I don't just have ONE style or a favourite style. It's like a bunch of things mashed together. Maybe that's why it's so hard for me to find inspiration; because I have such a wide variety and I can't just pick one, or a few.
Oh boy. ):
Hope you peeps enjoy the sets. I know I did. ;)
PEACE.

2009-06-07T17:57:00.003-04:00

This is the last night you'll spend alone,
look me in the eyes so I know you know.
I'm everywhere you want me to be.

I'm still lacking in fashion inspiration. It's kind of depressing now. /:
Sorry I haven't updated in a million and one years. I haven't had time for ANYTHING anymore. It kind of sucks. But to make it up to you, I'm going to give you the most amazing post.

Okay well...it's not the most AMAZING post ever...but he is pretty hot, isn't he? ;)
I will find time soon. The summer is coming up. I'm just swamped with projects, summatives, exams, friends and family. It's kind of getting to be too much at one time. /:

ANYWHO, I'm going to go do my English project. I hate Shakespeare. 'Nuff said.

2009-05-23T15:39:00.005-04:00

But my mind has fucked me over more than any man could ever know.

Life is grand.

2009-05-09T12:43:00.007-04:00

I will leave when the wind blows, take a breath and away it goes.
I'll be outside of your window, I'll pass by but I'll go slow.

Good day bloggers! I'm sorry for my lack of (interesting) postage. I realize that it's pretty much been consisting of pictures and a quick "OMGZIWANTIT" but stuff has been tough lately.
I've had large amounts of projects, health problems and friend and family situations. All at the same time. It's quite annoying. With everything going on I haven't been able to really focus on fashion at all except for reading an article every now and then.
I saw the Matthew Williamson's H&M collection and I must say I am quite impressed. I saw a lot of pieces I want and (even before I bought them) I could see myself wearing them and mixing them with other pieces in my closet. That's a good thing in my book. :D

I seriously LOVE this collection. It's so vibrant and the details are so minimal but so amazing. :D
I saw the bright blue silk blazer and my jaw hit the floor.Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. That blazer. I want it. So bad. Right now. :(

That's all for now because I have SO many projects to do. :(
I'll update when I'm not so swamped.
BYE!

2009-05-03T17:04:00.006-04:00

You are the reason that I still believe.

Sorry for all the picture updates. Life's just been a crazy, hectic mess. :S

You electrify my life.

Chanel's Tribeca Film Fest Dinner- April 24th

It's just a coincidence that all the ones I like consist of black, red and white. I swear.

Parsons Fashion Benefit- April 30th

OLIVIA! Her cheek bones are intimidating. They're sharp enough to kill. /:
CHRIS BENZ. FTW. He looks like that guy from Silverchair. Hmm...weird. I never knew how he looked up until today...

These are the only pictures of people I could find that weren't posed in an awkward stance. /:

I'm going to bed now. BYE.

2009-04-30T18:15:00.006-04:00

If you're sleeping are you dreaming?
If you're dreaming are you dreaming of me?

I am SO sick right now. It's kind of depressing.
I stayed up till 2AM yesterday to finish two HUGE assignments and decided I would skip first period to sleep.
Well, I woke up and realized that I felt like I was dying. And I still do.
My body is KILLING me right now, my head is about to asplode, I feel like I'm going to throw up (but I know that I won't) and I feel like I weigh a million and one pounds. :(
Like, shoot me now. D:

OMG. And yesterday I cut my finger opening when I was shaving. Blood. Everywhere.
Then I got punched in the face by my friend and it still hurts. :(
Today I ran into my coffee table. UHHHHM. OW. I started crying. Bawling, actually.
My toe is bleeding as I type this.
Yummy. ;)

I deleted my English project off of my USB by accident so I'm pretty screwed right now.
This is NOT good week. Probably the worst week I've ever had in my life. /:

And because all of this is going on, I have no fashion inspiration whatsoever.
What is wrong with me? :(

2009-04-27T20:06:00.005-04:00

I don't want to dream about
all the things that never were.

HELLO SPRING!
You look quite lovely this fine evening. ;)

2009-04-25T14:03:00.004-04:00

Let's conspire to re-ignite
all the souls that would die just to feel alive.

LONGTIMENOBLOGEH?
Life's been busy. People have been dumb. And teachers like to give out projects (all in the same week, due on the same day).
It's like they plot against us and do it on purpose. Just cause they can.
Grrr.
I should probably get started on those projects...they're due on Monday. /:

Just wanted to update to let you know I'm alive! :P
And I'm going shopping in about 2 hours with my mom. YEEAH BOI.
I'll probably be picking up some new clothes. ;)
I'll update later cause I have to go get ready. :D
BYEEEE!

2009-04-11T00:14:00.007-04:00

Don't it always go to show,
you never know what you got 'til it's gone.

(ffffound.com)

2009-04-05T15:21:00.005-04:00

Things just couldn't be the same,
'cause I'm as free as a bird now.

Good morning/afternoon, sunshines. If you're like me, you just woke up. And if you're like me, the first thing you do in the morning is check your blog (coughnerdcough).

Two things.
1) I'm obsessing over music that was made before I was born, which happens a lot. Right now I'm listening to Your Love by the Outfield. I recommend you listen to it because it's awesome. Why not help you out? Here's the video.

Great stuff right hur.

And 2)
Did anyone else read about Oscar de la Renta hating on Michelle Obama? Yeah, no joke. He's saying how he thinks that although it's great that she's helping the smaller designers such as Jason Wu and Isabel Toledo, that the high end designers need some loving too, especially in these hard economic times. Because apparently it's effecting the designers who charge hundreds of dollars for one piece.
Oscar de la Renta was quoted saying "American fashion right now is struggling...I think I understand what they (as in Obama and her stylist lady) are doing, but I don't think that is the right message at this particular point....I don't object to the fact that Mrs. Obama is wearing J. Crew to whatever because the diversity of America is what makes this country great. But there are a lot of great designers."
Donna Karan said, "I hope and believe that this is just a moment...And I hope to be able to dress her, and not only dress her but address her, sit down -- I'm interested in her totality as a woman."
Unlike my homeboy, Oscar, Vera thinks that what she's trying to do is great, stating, "I love seeing young designers and their vision and how they grow and all of that. On the other hand, of course, I wish she would consider some of us, because I think we also have contributions to make."
Love her. (:
I thought about what Mr. De la Renta said and although it's hating on Mrs. Obama, I still love him because well, he makes the best dresses in the world. Well, maybe besides Valentino. But whatevs.
Oh, and Oscar also said, and I don't know why I laughed about this, 'You don't...go to Buckingham Palace in a sweater."
LOL @ OSCAR!

That's all because I'm too lazy to do anything else right now. KBYEEEEEEEE! :D
PS. I'm now listening to Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd and I think you should do the same. Since I'm such a nice person, I'm going to give you the link. You're welcome. :)

You know that I could use somebody.
Someone like you and all you know and how you speak.

Nobody likes my hipster story? Well sorry I find it interesting that there's a hipster in my town. I'm sure that if you were lived in a town this small and you saw a hipster you would react the same way. ):
(I love how I'm feeding myself all this bull to make myself feel better. XD)

Anywaaaays. Toronto fashion week. One word: WTF. (Depending on how you look at it, it could also be three words). Toronto fashion week usually sucks major butt and unfortunately it's the only fashion week in Canada, which makes me kind of sad. I have been looking for one (JUST ONE) collecion I liked and failed miserably. Until today. Ladies and gents, I introduce to you...buckle.

I couldn't find any pictures, so you're going to have to watch the video.
There men's collection made me want to be a man. Like, I want to be a man now just so I could wear their clothes.
And may I point out, they have some of the hottest male models *cough*Ryan Taylor*cough* ever. Phewww. It's gettin' hot in hurrrr.

I'm not sure (and I doubt) if he was in this runway show, but I don't really cur. I just think he's amazingly beautiful. And guess what...
HE'S CANADIAN!
FINALLY. Something good comes out of Canada.
Burlington to be exact (which is like, two hours away from where I live).
I'm proud to be a Canadian, because of Ryan Taylor!
He's modeled for Jil Sander, Prada, Fendi, Marc Jacobs and Valentino.
Just thought I'd let you know. ;)

Anyways. Yeah, that's all. I have to go to the bathroom like suuuuuper bad right now. BYEEEE.

Oily marks appear on walls,
where pleasure moments hung before.

I went to the mall today (I bought shorts. WOOOOO SPRING/SUMMER!) with my cousin and we ended up going to Winners for like, ten hours (for those of you who don't know, Winners is where companies send the clothes that they don't want anymore so it's brand names mixed with indie labels mixed with sweat shop clothes) and in the midst of it all, I saw a hipster. A HIPSTER. That was the first hipster I've ever seen in my town. I've seen them when I went to Toronto and New York, but never in this town. So me being the awkward, sheltered person I am, I was kind of freaking out. I was like "OMGHIPSTER?!" and I kept staring at him, amazed. We don't have people like that here, so obviously I'm going to be like:

The whole time my cousin was like "What the eff? You're so creepy!" and I was all "I'm not a creepy person!" (LOLFRED).

Oh, and thank you to Victoria from Chic Heroin for telling me the plural of moose. In case any of you were wondering, it's moose. I know, I felt stupid too.

Speaking of stupid, I was watching the City (Team Whitney! Olivia's cheekbones are scary! Yay!) and I saw some of Diane Von Furstenburg's collection and it looked iight. So I went on style.com to see the whole thing and I was kind of disappointed (soz, DVF). Some of the pieces were like "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" but then I saw some that made me go wide eyed (Y'know. When you see something you love and you're all "ONG!11!1!!"). Usually I don't question DVF's designs but this time I did. I kind of feel terrible for saying all this because it's her and all. If she read this, she could snap her long skeletal fingers and get me thrown out by security. Of course, she can't throw me out of a blog...but she'll find some way to throw me out of something. She will invite me to the Meat Packing District of New York in which she resides and when I get there, she'll kick me out, crushing any dreams I had of her actually being my BFF. :(
HAH, I wish.
If she refuses my invitation to be my BFF4L (best friend forever for life? LOLZ.) then I'll force my moose (grammar, children!) on her and they will be making moose noises at her!
Wait...what noise does a moose make? :(

I'm really hyper because I have a friend over right now. We're eating oreos and drinking energy drinks. Yummy. :D
I should probably go hang out with her...
Yeah. I'll go do that.
BYEEEEE.

I had a dream last night we drove out to see Las Vegas.
We lost ourselves in the bright lights, I wish you could've seen us.

I just saw Anna Sui's collection and I LURVEEEE it. Not as much as Balmain, but still, pretty hot. ;)

Usually I'm usually into really clean, simple, tailored pieces that are lacking in the colour department, so I was surprised when I found myself drooling over these.

Of course, I had to sneak in a little monochrome. It's what I do.
I did find one outfit that was barf-tastic. But that could be because it reminds me of a deer. I REALLY hate deer. A lot.

I'm not totally sure why this reminds me of a deer. There's absolutely nothing about it that's deer-like.
Moo.
Er. What kind of noise do meese make? Wait. Meese isn't a word. Meeses? What's the plural of moose? :S
WHATEVER. I have to go clean.
If you know the plural of moose or what sound they make...or both...LET ME KNOW, PLZTHNKS. :D

'Cause all of the stars are fading away.
Try not to worry, you'll see them someday.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!

Look familiar? Yeah, they were on the "what I want" post I made. They aren't the EXACT ones because well, I can't afford the exact ones (129 dollars later). But they're similar! And they're 50 bucks! Buying? YESSIR! They look alike, don't they? (:
I'm happy now.

They look better in person, I swear.

FASHION WEEK TIME! H'okay. Two words: Alexander Wang.

(style.com, myspringshoes.com, piperlime)

Like, WOW. I freaking love this collection. A lot.
I love every single thing about this, from the fierce look (LAWLZ) in the model's eyes to those gorgeous buckled boots. BEEEEE-YOO-TEE-FUL.
I'm currently obsessed with oversized so...two points for that. And we already know I get weak in the knees when I see a perfectly tailored blazer. Love! :)
I can't begin to explain how much I love Mr. Alexander Wang's clothes.

OHMYGERSH. Look what I made on MS paint. It's like SOO COOOOL!!!1111!

I got bored and I was like "ILOVEMCQUEEN" so I made this. I also made that banner up there that says "Fashion Bible". Go ahead, take a look. I won't tell anyone. (;
I was going to make a "God save..." thing for Alexander Wang, but...that would sound funny so I decided that I would leave that for another day. Or never.

KLYKEBYE!

I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost,
'cause it doesn't remind me of anything.

Two things.
First, that is a GREAT song and I recommend you check it out. It's called "Doesn't Remind Me" by Audioslave. After I post this, I'm going to walk around with intentions to not go anywhere specifically while listening to this song just to clear my head. It's great. You should try it sometime.
Second thing, Balmain's Fall 2009 ready-to-wear collection was...(to quote Rachel Zoe, because she deserves it) absolutely BANANAS!! (and yes, I'm aware that my coverage of fashion week is a little late, but my internet has been down for a gazillion years!)

The colour palette isn't the most vibrant thing in the world, but omg. OMG. Look at those blazers! Look at how structured they are. And studs. OMFGSTUDS!
StudssequinsbluebootsshouldersblazerspoofytrainsoversizedbowsleatherjacketsOMFG.
Overload on happy right now. I want it all! ):

Another one that caught my attention was Alexander McQueen, obviously. The lips were kind of freaky, but everything else was fantastic! He's a freaking genius!

I was speechless after I saw this. I just sat there like "What the hell was that?"...but in a good way! Just when I thought I'd seen everything there was to see in the world, I saw these...

I know, right? Freaking AWESOME. I feel like if I poked the last dress with a pin, it would deflate. I'd love to see that. I wonder sometimes how he keeps his sanity while he creates these things. Then I think maybe he's secretly insane. Then I go to bed. (:

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon,
and your eyes are the size of the moon.

sandal- Piperlime.com
cardigan- Clements Ribeiro
dress- Stella McCartney

heels- Topshop
boots- Golden Goose

They're hot, no?

What came first?
The chicken nugget or the Egg McMuffin?

Long time no talk. D:
The internet died and we JUST got it back.
Not even kidding. -_____-

Anywho. I was looking at the Nina Ricci Fall 2009 collection and I couldn't even pay attention to the clothes because I was too busy looking at the shoes. Who thinks of that? Really? I only have three words to describe these: What. The. EFF?

So much for "heel-toe-heel-toe".
I give anyone praise for wearing these things. I have three questions:
1) How did these girls manage to look fierce walking down the runway in those?
2) What's the point of adding a heel to some of them when it's not even necessary?
3) What the hell were they smoking when they designed these things?

And that's all I have to say about that.

We raced the sunset,
and we almost won.

Did anyone else watch the Oscars? More importantly, did anyone watch the Oscars and realize how hot James Franco is? I did! :D

Mmmm. :D
What's cookin', good lookin'? (;
Like really! The guy looks good with a dead animal head beside him. o:
He makes me weak in the knees.
Along with River Phoenix and James Dean. These be my boyyyyyz. 8)

Sizzle sizzle. (;
I'm in love with two dead guys. D:
Oh my.

I have no fashion motivation whatsoever right now, so expect pointless posts from me. Kthanks. :D

Don't tell me if I'm dying,
'cause I don't want to know.

I really, really don't want to know. /:

To make this a happy post and get my mind off all the horrible shit going on right now, I'm going to make this fashion related.

So, I was really bored today after I came home from being an idiot, so I decided to check out some of the Pre-Fall collections and Proenza Schouler's Pre-Fall 2009 collection caught my attention. It got my mind off of everything, and I think that if anything could do that, it's worthy of my praise.

(style.com)

The metallics, the blazers, the cuts, the simplicity of it; it just made me so giddy. I mean, there's boring simple, then there's "OMG!" simple. This screams "OMGSIMPLE!"

And I need to get off right now because this whole trying-to-make-me-forget-the-horrible-stuffis not helping.

You spin my head right round, right round,
when you go down, when you go down down.

That song has been stuck in my head for the past 36 hours. :

Anyways. I went shopping in Toronto today. Up until today, I wanted to move there so bad. Not anymore. I learned two things today.
1) Torontonians are very rude.
2) They like to wear their pants very low. Very low.
If I had a dime for every person I saw with their pants down to their knees...I would have approximately $7.50. But that's just a guesstimate.

But on a brighter note, I bought stuff. Only three things from H&M, but still. I BOUGHT STUFF! ( :
1) A jersey skirt with gold buttons
2) A scoop neck dress
3) A grey tank top (I know, not that great. But I wanted it.)
I'll take pictures as soon as I get ahold of that bloody camera. Really. Where the hell did I put that thing? I had it like, 2 months ago. I just don't know where. Hmmm?

There are three possibilities (have you noticed that I like lists?):
1) I left it at my resort when I went on vacation
2) It's somewhere in the mess I call a room
3) It's lost in a dark abyss of time and space
I'm pretty sure it's number three.

Speaking of dark abyss, I need to organize my closet. God knows where I'm going to start or how I'm going to do this, but it is a mess. Holy. That has got to change. That should be my New Years resolution. Is it too late for one of those?
It's the times like these that I wish I didn't have a minimum-wage-part-time job and a small closet. If I had the money, I would hire someone to do it for me. But since I don't, I'll hire my mom to do it for me. Cause she loves me. Or atleast I like to think so.
Y'know, I think I hear her calling me now. Oh yeah, that's definitely her. It's loud, annoying and I can hear the accent. Oh boy.
Lovely.

"Kids lose everything unless there's
someone there to look out for them."

So, I just wanted to quote my favorite movie, Stand By Me, and to make this fashion related, I'm going to show you peeps a shirt dress I'm pretty much in love with. It saw it on Style Bubble and I practically died. I never heard of the designer before, but they have some pretty simple but nice things. They're an Australian designer named Alpha60. I'm not a huge fan, but I practically had a heart attack when I saw that. Like, River Phoenix (my dead hubby) on my clothes? YES, PLEASE! How badass is that?

(style bubble)

River Phoenix = ♥♥♥
Clothes = ♥♥
So, if River Phoenix = ♥♥♥ and clothes = ♥♥ then:
River Phoenix + clothes = ♥♥♥♥♥
Get it, got it, good. I know it's pretty complex, but just pay close attention. (;

I'm going to go be paranoid and watch America's Most Wanted now. Y'know, I don't know why I watch that show. It freaks the hell out of me and I live in Canada, so I really have no reason to watch it. I just do. Did you hear that they found John Walsh's son's killer?! Yeah. I think he died though. So that was a waste. You know what's a waste? Spending three hours looking all over your house and retracing your steps within that last 24 hours to find out that it was under your pillow in your room. That happens to my dad all the time. He thought he lost his wallet but he didn't. It was in his jacket. This one time, he left it on the roof of his car and drove home and it fell off on the highway and then about half an hour later, this lady comes to the door and she was all "I found your wallet on the highway." and we were like "WTF? We didn't even know it was missing."

And that's my story.
Nighty-night. ( :
