everything from wilfred / shoes - nine west
I can't get enough of this blazer! Sorry, I promise this isn't the only jacket I have lol. I'll try and be more inventive next day. But on another note, holy crap, I just got back from watching My Sister's Keeper and it was sooo sad! I only tend to get the whole tears-rolling-down-the-cheek but so many other people in the theater were seriously full-out bawling! At times (because I'm really bad with awkward moments) I couldn't help myself but giggle quietly because of all the sobbing and sniffling when it was super quiet. Overall though, it was a pretty good movie :)

Really loving all the things that Zara has right now and I can't wait for their supposed Semi-Annual Sale (apparently starting on June 26th) so I'll be heading out again in order to score some great deals!

I'm really liking the whole MONOCHROMATIC range of shades right now, so I think that's gonna be my goal concerning my wardrobe (right now I do have a lot of black and whites, but I also have hints of blue, purple and teal which are kind of my go-to-colours). Also, adding neutral colours are a must for me as well. After wearing that laced tank, I noticed that I don't own anything else in that beige-ish colour! Literally, nothing beige, cream or anything close to ressembling that. Hopefully building a well-worth range of clothes that kind of reflects Kate Lanphear and her awesome style.
She's just so effortless and androgynous at times which looks great! What's going to be hard for me is that I don't exactly have a model-sized figure so I'll just have to try and see whats gonna work out. Sooo over the months, I'm going to attempt to be super trendy haha. Anyway, below are some of the things I wanna scourge the endless Zara racks for, ESPECIALLY if there's gonna be a sale :)

SSENSE finally has a code for more discounts!
Not many interesting things that I wanna blow cash on, but they do ship within Canada for free!

I'm super sad right now. Literally right after I took these pictures, my camera started vibrating and couldn't focus properly...and it won't stop! I've tried turning it on and off, putting the battery in and out, but nothing seems to cure it. Thank god I got that extended warranty, although it hasn't even been a year since I got it. Damn technology, I swear I have the worst luck. I've broken (and by means of broken, I mean that it just randomly stops working without me dropping it or anything) two cameras and two ipods.
But on a lighter note, I recently took a trip down the hall to my parent's closet of never used clothes - mainly because it's full of clothes circa 1980. In boredom, I decided to sift through some of the things and found a whole bunch of actual re-useable items! I found a few interesting blazers and a whole bunch of my dad's old Levis (that I'm in the process of destroying in order to make some boyfriend jeans) and awesome plaid and striped buttoned up t-shirts. So I'm going to attempt to break out the sewing machines and tailor them to fit smaller. Here's a preview of some of the blazers. One's really out there (the crazy striped one) and one's more practical (the laced one).
I also found a whole bunch of cute a-line and high waisted skirts, but sadly, they don't fit me...
I don't know if I should try selling them here (yes? no?) or sell them to a thrift store. But anyway, here's what I'm really liking right now (especially after seeing that zippered clutch on missnonhuman!)
Next paycheque I'm buying these!

Finally did some well worth shopping yesterday downtown and after seven straight hours, which didn't even feel like that much, I riked havock on my debit card at Aritzia, Zara and Urban Outfitter. Of course, because Vancouver is just...well, Vancouver...it had to rain. It's almost the END of June and my phone forecasts rain throughout the weekend! It's not really a surprise though. I mean, when it starts snowing massive clumps in February (like last year), you're bound to get use to the irregularity of the weather. But anyhow...

I felt really bad for my RM so I decided to break it out again, and in doing so, I'll fallen back in love with it. I don't even know why I haven't been using it lately (I mean look at the vivid green!). It's the MAB in Emerald Green from Resort 2007 and is ordained with awesome gold pyramid studs (which was kind of the only reason I got it in the first place).
The blazer is a new piece that I've added into my new wardrobe that is very slowly developing. I've been trying to build a more sophisticated-semi-hipster-formal-casual look for myself but with my oh-so-dwindling money supply, it will have to be a lengthily process. What's great about the blazer is that it's a open front shrug! No buttons with a strong pocket silhouette which I love. It's probably going to be my staple item in the months to come :)

The cardigan I'm wearing is the one I got from Aritzia earlier today :)
I just love how it slouches, being baggy and tight at the same time.
I'll be hitting up the other Aritzia's in Vancouver so be aware of more purchases to come!
Ohhh and I also got an awesome TNA beach towel for free, which is the "free gift" with a purchase of $100 or more. It's the same prize as last year, but who can't have more beach towels?

Awesome electronic group from Holland whose beats just mesmerize the ears.
It's a bit of electro mixed in with funk and lounge house.
Perfection when it comes to just lying down by the pool or at the beach, or even your backyard!
