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... via Urban Outfitters.
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.
THE LADDER - ANDREW BELLE
DRUM SONG - THE TEMPER TRAP
MAD - MAGNETIC MAN
YOUNG HEARTS SPARK FIRES - JAPANDROIDS
NEW NOISE - THE BLOODY BEETROOTS/REFUSED
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*
I've been a literal blob this past few days or weeks, doing nothing since schools over for now, and also due tot he fact that I'm not working, and need to find a job. Blargh.
all from H&M. I can't wait to hit the nearest H&M to see if they have any of the Project Black Book items.
Really in need of these shoes. God my mind's still set in the winter season, I don't want the coldness to end! I don't know why but I'm just not really a summer weather person.

Pictures from some of my recent ventures. First is Passion Pit, they were good and well-awaited since I bought a ticket back in the summer, but they cancelled it and rescheduled to December where they cancelled yet again. And when they got on stage, they kind of addressed the cancellations and said well hey, shit happens, what can you do? It's funny because there was suppose to be an after party, but that was cancelled last minute due to scheduling conflicts....I just felt like they didn't have that great of an audience presence, but it was good music. The second is Jamie from The xx, he had an okay DJ spin and I went cause I couldn't get tickets to the xx concert haha. I was hoping that his band would of shown up with him, but they didn't. And third is Designer Drugs, and it was pretty damn good.
Finally, all my school work is done with and I'm actually on track according to the syllabus. It was tough though because I literally did NOTHING during the Olympic break that constituted as school work haha. Man, now that it's over, I can actually sit at home without all the bussel of going out every night. Seriously, my room was a hotel room in which I only used for sleeping. I'm kind of sad now that there aren't crazy parties to go to every week. Anyway, Aritzia had a pretty decent sale this past few weeks and I got this awesomely soft mohair cardigan and a Rachel Allegraesque shredded shirt.
SWEATERARITZIA. SHIRTARITZIA. JEANSJBRAND. SHOES NINE WEST. But anyway, I really want to place my order for these amazing necklaces by Alex and Chloe. It's from their Trinity collection, and I especially like this one because you can reverse the cross, and I've been looking for an upside down necklace in forever! But whenever I try and search for one, it ends up being some over-intricate-celtic crosses and what not...

Been feeling like days just keep on passing by with no change at all. I wake up, go to school, sleep and the cycle repeats itself until I substitute work for school. And even worst, because I starting to really hate where I work, it just ruins the rest of the week for me, and I DREAD going back. So with that, I've decided to quit (thank god) but that means that I need another one :( Anyone know a place hiring in Vancouver for the fashion-savy?

I've been really into mens t-shirt designs and what not. Why can't they make simple/inventive/dark designs for women? I'm also obsessed with triangle/square graphics. Anything with a big solid triangle or square has me sold, and it's funny because that's the simplest thing that any designer could do, yet it's just so appealing to me.
BTW I got a lookbook, so come take a look and hype me if you want :) And send me your lookbooks, we can be friends!
The weather's been miserable lately. It was snowing before, and I LOVE snow, but then the clouds decided to ruin it with rain. Ergo melted slushy snow to nonexistent snow. The good thing is that I actually got to go boarding this week, my first trip of the year! Too bad it was spent on the bunny hill trying to teach my friend. Ohhh well, hopefully I'll get to go soon once somebody decides to be awesome and drive! But anyway, I was randomly browsing yesstyle, and usually I don't find anything that looks remotely nice, but I stumbled onto deepstyle, a guys brand, and they're stuff looks pretty awesome that I'm compelled to order some of their things soon!
Downloads with...live pictures! Somewhat of a mega-post since it's taking up so much space.
FIREFLIES - THE MIDWAY STATE NEVER AGAIN - THE MIDWAY STATE Very good on stage. They just bring so much energy and charisma to the audience. And I met him afterwards by the merch stand. He was really nice and I got a picture too, except the girl that said she'd take it for me didn't tell me I had no flash, so it was wayyy blurry :(
DO YOU MIND? - THE XX I WISH they would come to Vancouver, it would be my DREAM!
WONDERFUL - GARY GO First time I saw him, I fell in love! He's amazing and opened for Mika. Plus this songs the trailer song for that new OCEAN documentary movie coming out. Good choice guys.
ANY OTHER WORLD - MIKA OVER MY SHOULDER - MIKA Pure Awesomeness. It was so pumping that the floor was jumping, I was right in front of the stage so it was definitely happy about that. And he was just so sincere, he even carried on dancing like a maniac even though he sprained his ankle a few days before (and had a brace on).
"It's my second date with Vancouver, you know what that means? I get to suck your dick!" GAGA.
"Do you think I'm sexy Vancouver? Because I think I'm sexy" GAGA.
"Go ahead, make out with the person next to you, don't worry if its not your preferred sex...cause it a rock concert!" SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS.
The concert was visual stunning. My and my friend got seperate seats cause we were only allowed to purchase one ticket at a time in the presale or something, but I was lucky enough to find someone in my row that was also alone and that wanted to switch, so we got to sit together. Plus it was her birthday, so we were just rocking it out. Utterly awesome. Totally overthrows the concert I went to the day before (Stereos, don't ask, but honestly, they're the prettiest band I've ever seen, I was literally taken aback by the total band hotness level haha. And I met Midway State lead singer Nathan Ferraro). But yes, Lady Gaga sure know's how to throw a show. I really liked Semi Precious Weapons too, they're so grunge-rock-club-kids-new-york. Plus they were giving people sips of champagne on stage, and the lead singer changed his costumes on stage as well, haha.
But now back to your regular broadcast systems, my finals are over (YAY!) and it's time for SNOWWWW. But to keep you all entertained...
DAY ONE of actually studying. Mind you I only have one final, but I'm such a procrastinator that I probably won't have enough time to memorize everything. It also doesn't help that I'm going to TWO concerts in TWO DAYS, and maybe throwing in a trip to the mountains. I'm surprised that I even pasted high school with the lack of study-time haha.
What I've also noticed is that I'm been making a habit of sleeping til 5AM, and then not waking up until 3PM. I literally set up five alarms on five minute intervals and still, I sleep until the sun goes down, which could be a considerable factor in my laziness and avoidance of hitting the books. I needs endorphins!

• The temperature is drastically dropping in Vancouver and I'm not accustom to deal with it right now, nor do I have the funds to buy what I'm lusting for...
I am thoroughly excited that the Lady Gaga concert is this week though which will keep my spirits high until they drop down again with the remembrance of having to study.
