summer angel.

It's sad that we only got a week of actually summer heat. Now it's gone, and it's back to regular days of carrying around sweaters for the cold night breeze. It's good for me though since I actually like cold weather and what not. Anyway, finally an outfit post. I've been kind of lazy and unproductive lately - staying up til 6AM and sleeping til 3PM. It's gonna be a bitch to return to regular sleeping patterns once school starts haha.

SHIRT H&M / SKIRT BCBG / SHOES ELLEN TRACY

Also, The Bay (a Canadian department store) that I live near just started selling Rachel Roy stuff, and I came across the jewelery that they carried! Mind you it's not quality stuff, but it's moderate for what it is. Anyway, I got this awesome coiled snake ring for $40 and fake spike earrings for $35. I love the earrings because I wear them with the stopper in the front, which looks like I actually stretch out my ears and have gages haha, which I'd love, but stretched out ears don't look god when you take them out, and your ears don't go back to normal haha.

Awesome skate/snow/old school arcade video :)





Also, I just watched Predators and was surprised to see that the wardrobe staff decided to arm one of the female soldier characters, played by Alice Braga, with the Bianca Alexander Wang Vest Bag. I laughed by myself since I was probably the only one who noticed haha.

ok seriously.

OK seriously, stupid DMCA, I took down all those links on that one post, so stop drafting it! I mean honestly, are you actually wasting your time on my innocent little fashion blog? Really?

ARGHHH.

Watched an awesome yet low budget and sort of corny indie movie called Teenage Dirtbag and was blown away that it had me tearing up and everything! At times the dialogue is crap, and all of a sudden, it gets emotionally poetic and genius. Plus, Scott Michael Foster from Greek is in it, and I have a TV crush on him haha. Seriously, watch it.

I'll leave with a lovely quote from said movie.

" Mad. Mad thoughts. Crazy, twisted, sinewy. Mad obsession. You sicken me. You're so beautiful, love. I grind you into a fine, soft powder and inhale you... Lick you off of my fingers. You love, answer me. Your face brings me death every day... And every day I can't wait to die. Bury me now, love. Bury me now... "

Amazing right?

SHIRT H&M / TANK WILFRED / RINGS URBAN OUTFITTERS & RANDOM

Lace and see-through mesh button up, it's my attempt to try and be summery and colourful haha. Sorry, no matter how hot or humid, I will always be wearing black, and sometimes I feel like some black cloud amongst all the other people walking around in short shorts and colourful florals and whatnot, oh well...

To my surprise, while browsing through online shops, I found out that Urban Outfitters finally lowered it's shipping rates to Canada, and it's about freaking time, I mean seriously, they actually thought that people from Canada were gonna pay $60 USD for shipping?! They finally got slapped with the reasonable stick and are now charging a $10 flat-rate and free shipping over $150 purchase. ABOUT TIME! Here's some stuff that I can see owning in the near future, which I'll have to buy online because most of these items are only available online...

And I just got that double finger ring from there recently and it's been my favorite, can't go anywhere without it. The only problem is that my skin is super sensitive towards copper metals, causing my skin to turn green when wearing cheap jewelery, so it's made my fingers green and the silver coating has faded with sucks. But here's a trick to save cheap jewelery from fading out! Coat it with a layer of clear nail polish. Did the trick for me :)

And over the last few weeks I went to a couple of concerts...
First off, my friend won tickets to Faber Drive so I accompanied her, but yeah, I'm not really into that type of music, plus there were way to many little kids everywhere going crazy, so I don't think it's worthy of a mention, but apparently I learned that I look 15 according to the kids there lol.
The other show I went to was The Temper Trap. It was utterly amazing. The atmosphere was great, everyone was enjoying it and I genuinely had a great time. First off, Elizabeth opened for them, and they were pretty good. I did a little recon before the show and listened to some of their stuff and they give off a sort of Joy Division/Interpol sound. Definitely give them a listen.

The Bassist who I adored haha.

The lead singer with his Electric Flute Piano thing...
Next up was The Temper Trap and they were, I say again, amazing! Definitely a great concert, and they played all the songs that I wanted, and the Drum Song, which is my favorite, was superbly epic. The lead singer had his own tom and cymbal setup in the middle of the stage and when it was time, he poured water all over the drum and started pounding at it, which made a really water display.

Apparently I got a DMCA complaint on this post so if you like any of the songs, shoot me an email. Well now I'm reeling from an authority complex now *shakes head*

Another editorial post, except I'd consider these more of an art piece, because it was a collaboration with an art collective called The Boys Collective and V Magazine.

There's more, but these are the ones that I like the most, just because of all the juxtaposed elements and colours that clash accordingly. They're very Richard Hamilton-esque eh?

inspire.

Some editorials that are utterly amazing.

Loved the whole fashionable homeless theme within this shoot, and the harsh tones and lighting totally did it for me, giving it a grungy, dirty feel.

The anonymity and silhouetted shapes in this shoot are amazing. The second picture is just so awkward that it's awesome, and the fourth gives off such a creepy and ominous vibe that it's genius.
