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.

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.

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. ;)

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.

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.

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. ;)

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.

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

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! :(

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

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

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! :)

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! :)

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. (:

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!

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! (:

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.

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

Life is grand.

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!

You are the reason that I still believe.

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

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? :(
