pee-you.



jacket wilfred. shirt thrifted / kain. jeans bdg cigarettes. shoes kimchi blue. bag zara.




The bag's somewhat new. A good alternative to the Wang for way cheap.
It's PU so I can use it for school and what not.

And if anyone's bored and has nothing to do, go watch these tv shows that I've been addicted to lately:
• Defying Gravity
• FlashForward
• Cougar Town

punks not dead.


Emerging trend?

Reminds me of Camden. The place is intimidating but I can't wait to go back someday in the future.

the phear.








all from tfs.

The PHEAR is fierce. Androgynous at it's best.
I wish I looked that good walking down the street.





But anyway, finally an outfit post. Took long enough right?


shirt truely madly deeply. jeans current/elliott. shoes nine west.

Just a super sloth day. Is it bad that all my jeans are black? I wonder if people just think I re-wear my jeans everyday, or if they can tell that I have 10+ pairs of the same colour, because it'd be pretty gross if I did only wear one pair everyday, every week lol.

temporary blindness, malfunction restart.



Behold the treasures of Zara. I've had this bag for a while, but it's always fun just looking at it and seeing all the studding and zipper trims used in a way that works that isn't overdone. It's funny because I was just shopping downtown and fell in love with it, so I bought it. One sales associate at Aritzia even knows me as the Zara studded bag girl since she loved it and wanted to buy it as well. Bad news for her is that I haven't seen that bag in any of the stores after I bought mine, so my rule of thumb when shopping at Zara is if you're totally enamored by an item, buy it right away because Zara has a tendency of not re-stocking often (or at all). Sadly, it's not real leather, but that's okay since that means I can wear it during the wet rainy days.


Anyway, I just put an order in for these items from fashionology.nl :)
The items are all handmade by blogger Rachel Duister
She has some pretty awesome pieces and they're moderately priced, and the shipping is pretty cheap too!


multichain bracelet / spiked leather band / body harness

Here's some of her other stuff that I love...




I especially love the medieval-knight-inspired armored ring, but since it's $55 EUROS, I'll have to wait until next paycheque, since I feel guilty enough using my mom's credit card haha. I should really get my own, but I don't know how far that would go before I have back to back interest bills lol.

she loves everybody.

I felt gross today from midterms (sans outfit pic), but I'm finally done!
All I can say is, Art History, I loathe you.

Thanks to the rainy days, these have been my staples. Yes some people may stare at me as a click-clack my way to class or down to the skytrains, but you know what? I don't care. Why have fancy clothes and shoes if you don't plan to wear them out on a daily basis. And I don't mean any disrespect to some students, but I would never be caught dead wearing a sweatpant/shirt combo to class, even if I was sick (which I was) or tired from studying the night before (which I also did today). I just hate when people give you that look, like why is she dressed up? why is she wearing heels? Well why are you wearing sweatpants and pajamas in public?! /end rant.

I should totally be studying for my art history midterm tomorrow, but ugh, procrastination prevails!
And this makes me want to watch Skins Series 1 + 2 all over again. Tears were shed when it ended.

the red hearts.



THE RED HEARTS.
Sooo I haven't done a feature in a while, but this bands pretty awesome! Too bad they're actually indie (as in independent, not as a genre), so much so that they're literally a garage band. I don't think they're active anymore, but I stumbled onto their myspace page a looooong time ago while searching for another band of the same name. Very random, but a GOOD random, since it got me into listening to their music, and it's pretty great, so give them a listen, and hopefully, they'll get back together and make more!


DIAMONDS

What young lovers feel
Got to capture it
Anything at all
They come all the time
But theres no behind
I need something more

As fine as your body is
I just wanted your mind
And all your uncounted time

You need something particular
Devoid of abuse
Are you looking for the things that I choose
Silence is risky, got to tell me the plan
You can be anything
I'll still be your man

As fine as your body is
I just wanted your mind
And I just need to be loved

Need you to spell it out
So I can see
What your twisting out of me
I don't want to see the back of you
And I don't want to leave
These days everybody wants a piece

And you know what I'm saying
You can tell by my face
I don't need an easy lay
But someone with grace
Rough cut diamonds
You're hiding away
I'm living in the darkness
How long will it stay

As long as there's breath in me
I'll keep running the chase
And I just need to be won

Need you to spell it out
So I can see
What your twisting out of me
I don't want to see the back of you
And I don't want to leave
These days everybody wants a piece

brb. coughing...




Ughhhhh so I thought I was lucky enough to NOT catch a cold when everyone else was sick, but no, it got me, got me good. Coughing, sneezing, headaches, muscles aches, fevers, and it's just the beginning too :(
Sooo here's some music downloads while I go and disappear until my cold/midterms are over.
