K SO.

Here are two of the pictures I took yesterday, they're my favourite ones the others didn't turn out that great.

Today my dad took my camera lens into the repair shop finally so get an estimate on fixing it from the little accident we had in January. It still works, but the lens cap is broken and jammed stuck on the lens, so we'll see if they can do anything about that...

I got a bunch of coursework done today, tomorrow Earth Science + reviewing some Math... fun times. I cleaned my room up last night, I think when my room is in a good state, so am I, when it's cluttered, so is my head, haha.

I'm trying to sort out my courses for next year, and my final year of secondary school. And whether I want to take a course or two in a public school, I'm so torn about doing that though.

Our PVR screwed up didn't tape most of Craig Ferguson's show on Friday night so when I went to watch it tonight it had only taped the first 10 minutes, not impressed.

My eye pencil sharpener is one of those ones that has a 'storage' thing for the sharpeners, and it broke and they fell out all over my pants this morning. And then my pen exploded while I was doing my Food Studies assignment, so I have a couple of strained black patches on my right hand now...

I don't have much else to say right now, I was trying not to make this long-winded, and failed. Oh well.

Goodnight everybody!

I TOOK SOME NEW PICTURES TODAY,

I need to lighten them up a bit before posting them, so I'll try to make time tomorrow for that.
They're just head shots, and they look like what ?

HINT: freckles + red lipstick + curly haiiyer.

I'll see you all tomorrow, good night!

27 March 2010

This was me exactly 364 days ago.

Kiddy hairclips, pink jumper dresses, striped exposed bra straps, straight/teased/scene hair.
Oh, how the times have changed.
Now most of the time it's red lipstick, drawn on eyebrows, over sized tartan shirts, and blue jeans.

I don't have any new pictures from lately to post, I've been so busy with school, hopefully next week or maybe even tomorrow.
I'm decorating for Easter tomorrow too, maybe I'll take some pictures. :)

EDIE SEDGWICK

The Late Edie Sedgwick has been one of my favourite celebrities for a couple of years now. I love her style and all over look.

I took these photos in November 2008, but never really put them out there on any of my accounts. I decided tonight I'd post it for the heck of it.

It was a take on this famous collage shot by Andy Warhol, another favourite of mine.

I'd like to try doing the same thing again, I know I could do it better now.

Hey cat, look over here!

Let me introduce you to 3 of our kitties.

This is Willy. He's... 4 years old, and he eats everything.

This is Nerdy (yes, that really is her name). She's a year and half old, and didn't want her picture taken.

Pictures of myself in frames, how vain. I've been meaning to print some new ones of something other than me for those frames.

And this is Dino. He's almost a year old, and likes sitting in front of the computer.

I know one of you guys has to be able to recognize what he we were watching! ;)

Dear Internet,

I went shopping downtown today with Brandon, didn't buy anything this time, just browsed a bit and looked around.

I didn't wear foundation for the first time in forever, I still think I prefer wearing it, although I've embraced my freckles.

Most of you probably didn't know, and couldn't tell from my photos, but I've got tons of them, all over my face. You can't really, really see them in this picture, but you can kind of, if that makes any sense at all... ?

Oh hey, Freckles.

I did a little shopping over Spring Break

Here are the actual items. :)

Floral print shorts for 20$

Floral print flats for 10$

British ELLE, British Glamour, and a new Nicole nail polish in Orange (I thought I'd try something different). British Glamour is probably my favourite magazine right now.

I just wore an old sweater-dress I cut off, shorts, lavender tights, and my favourite necklace, today.

16 March 2010

ANSWER PERIOD

Would you ever review runway?
I have never before, but I wouldn't rule it out for the future if I run across a show I particularly found interesting.

What's your favourite part about blogging?
It's hard to say. I like a lot of the things involved in it. I like having this kind of medium to share my photography and work in that aspect, and my thoughts or plans. I also like talking to other bloggers and the readers of my own blog. I like getting feedback on my photography and such from all of you. And I just generally like having a blog that I can basically say anything in.

Where have you traveled?
I haven't traveled a lot in my life, so far. I've been to several towns and cities in California when I was younger, and been to Vancouver, BC. Other than that though, I haven't been off Vancouver Island. When I'm a little bit older I'd like to travel a little. Off the top of my head, I'd like to see New York City someday.

What are some goals you'd like to accomplish?
That's a tough one. I have a lot of goals, ranging from small to large. Ranging from things like, I'd like to become more outgoing to wanting to attend university when I graduate high school.

Who are your favourite designers?
Admittedly, I don't know a lot of designer's work. Right now, I love Chanel, and Christian Dior. I also really liked McQueen's designs, and absolutely loved some Balmain's designs for their 2009 lines last year.

Favourite music?
I'm always finding new artists I like, but the ones that I really love are: Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, The Killers, Lily Allen, Dragonette, and Lady Gaga.

What are some of your pet peeves?
I have a lot of pet peeves related to people, haha. I hate when people are disrespectful, lie, and cheat. I hate weeks in the winter here when the sun comes out maybe, once. I frustrate myself a lot too. Discovering my mobile has a dead battery when I really need it. And one minuscule one? When my cats pull the push pins holding my posters up out of the walls.

What time period would you have felt most comfortable in?
I love this question! I'd like to say, maybe the 60's or 70's, maybe even the 50's. I love a lot of music from the 60's and 70's, and I think I would have liked living in a more laid back time. I also love the fashion and style during these years. I think I would have kind of fit into the 60's (0r 70's) just fine, haha.

is school fun in Victoria?
It's basically like anywhere else, I think. Not overly fun, or terrible, haha.

Are there a lot of old people there?
That's hard for me to say. I've lived here all my life so I don't know what would be classed as 'a lot', but I think that there is quite a population of older people. They do call Victoria "the city of the newly wed and nearly dead", haha.

Are there a lot of people like you in Victoria who like to dress up?
Of course there are some, not a whole lot though, that I know. I'd say Victoria's vibe is more casual and laid back than dressy. In Canada, I swear it's a west coast thing (Victoria, Vancouver, etc), the majority is pretty casual, while the east coast (Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, etc) is more dressy.

Do you wear make-up and heels a lot?
I wear heels quite a bit, but if I want to look a bit more casual I'll wear flats. As for makeup, I wear makeup to an extent everyday, what kind and how much differs.

I kind of want to dress up, too, but my place isn't really the stylish type, and I'm thinking I'll look a bit like an idiot. Can I ask your opinion on that?
You just have to be willing to stand out a bit, not that that's a bad thing at all! Sometimes I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb, and sometimes it irks me a bit, and sometimes it doesn't bother me at all. You won't look like an idiot though, you'll just look well-dressed! :)

What is your general makeup routine like?
Generally, I've been wearing quite a bit of makeup. I darken and fill-in my eyebrows a bit with a pencil. Put on liquid foundation all over my face, touch up spots with consealer, sometimes put on all-over powde (sometimes not), and some pink blush. Then I use liquid eyeliner for my eyeliner, and usually do some kind of cat-eye look, with a bit of mascara on my top and bottom lashes. And then apply false eyelashes. I'm trying to come up with a slightly lighter makeup look for Spring and Summer though.

What is your most favourite place ever, to buy clothes?
That's hard to say. The first place that comes to mind is Sirens, haha, they have some tacky stuff, but some really cute things if you look around enough.

you're in high school? Freshman, sophomore or senior?
Juniour, actually. I'm in grade 11 this year. :)

what is your favorite song today?
Good question... I'd have to say my current favourite song is Vienna, by Billy Joel.

and band?

The Killers, hands down.

you think you're a fashion inspiration?
I don't really see myself as a fashion inspiration, I know some people have taken inspiration from my outfits, but I don't, on a day-to-day scale, see my self as a fashion inspiration.

you dress with everything that you like or want?
I basically dress however I like. If I feel like wearing jeans and a t-shirt one day, and a skirt, sweater and lace legging the next, that's what I do!

This question may be a bit stupid, but your hairdo has just "normal" bangs, slightly pulled to side or no?
That's basically how I have by bangs right now, I used to have side-bangs, but since they've been growing and I've been cutting them, they're kind of transitioning into full-bangs, if that makes any sense, haha.

Could you show pictures of your closet and bedroom?
Sure thing, next time I clean it all up and straighten everything out, I'll take some pictures and post them.

How do you make your wall collage?
I mostly rip and cut pictures out of magazines, and then glue them to big pieces of art paper, and tack those to the wall. Very simple. :)

Where would you most want to go right now?
No where but here, really! Or, well maybe Vancouver, but I'd rather go there next month! ;)

What advice would you give to someone who wants to do the kind of blog that you're doing?
I'd say just post what you like. Your photos, art, stories, thoughts, et cetera. That's basically all that I do!

Do you like to read?
Yes, very much so if I can find a book I like. I'm currently reading Lady Gaga: Behind The Fame by Emily Herbert. Not the most classic and intelligent piece of literature, but it is interesting!

What was the last movie you saw?
I honestly can't remember, it was an older one that I caught while channel surfing a few weeks ago, but I don't remember the title of it.

I'd like to be a blogger, too, and I wanted to know how it's like.
It's interesting. You get to share your interests, thoughts, and work and see how people respond to it. That's one of the best parts. The part of it all I like least? The pressure I feel if I don't update for several days, I feel like I should but I often get busy and forget or don't have time.

15 March 2010

QUESTION PERIOD

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
(picture from last summer, yes, it's a wig)

Okay, so I'll be taking questions about my blog, me, et cetera for roughly, the next 24 hours.

After that I'll edit this post and put them all together in a post and answer them.

Ask away!


Time's up! Answers coming soon. :)

13 March 2010

Hey Everybody!

that's what an idiot says when he comes in the room.

Well, you guys haven't heard much from me for the last week, and I have no excuses. It's been Spring Break, fairly uneventful, but that's how I wanted it.

So what have I been up lately?

I've been not doing coursework.
Listening to all the unreleased Lady Gaga songs I could get my hands on and Billy Joel's album The Stranger religiously.
Making a mess of things in my bedroom and not tidying it up at all.
Not enrolling in Tourism 11, like I keep saying I'm going to, tomorrow, I will.
Watching Craig Ferguson, because I can.
Going to bed listening to a rat or something running around on the roof and/or in the walls.
Doing things with franns.
Reading.
Wishing I lived in Vancouver, because I've been lusting after tickets to Conan O'Brien's Prohibited From Being Funny On TV Tour.
Tumbling: http://abbeykarson.tumblr.com/
(follow that shit, only if you want too, though)
Shopping a little bit, I bought a new pair of shorts, heels, and a bathing suit. Getting ready for summer!
Oh, and I bought a new book too.

And I'M DREADING LOSING AN HOUR'S SLEEP with the upcoming time change tonight.
NONONO, I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH WITH IT, but I can't not, so I'll be begrudgingly changing my clock ahead tonight before going to sleep.

Our kitchen has been torn apart for about a month now, finally the counter-top has been tiled, and grouted, and we're almost done. I will be so happy when the kitchen finally is back together and the sink is working.

I'm wondering if it's an idiot move to be starting two new courses at this point in the school year, but I need them... so if I have to work into the summer, so be it!

OH, and my favourite dress at the Oscars? Carey Mulligan's, hands down.

I haven't taken hardly any pictures this week, just on the 11th, according to the date stamp on these pictures. I don't remember what day of the week that was and I'm not going to bother looking. It's been all Saturday's and Sunday's for me the last week, thanks to the fact it's been Spring Break.

I did take these though, not overly impressed. I don't like that outfit at this point, or the pictures that much, but I figured I had them, I might as well post them.

Extra thanks if you actually read what I wrote, and didn't just come 'round to see the pictures. ♥

CAN I JUST SAY SOMETHING?

I don't see myself as a fashion blogger. This is not a fashion blog, but it has fashion aspects.

I wear what I want, listen to what I want, shop where I want, and do whatever I want that I can do.

I don't ever worry about being seen somewhere because I'd be embarrassed if I was seen there. I'm not that superficial, and I don't care to keep up an appearance or reputation.

I don't worry about the fact I own clothes from fucking Wal-Mart, because 'it's not cool'. I don't give a shit where they're from if I like them.

I don't worry about the fact I like singers and bands that aren't to the approval of all-knowing music Nazis. I listen to the music I like, and anyone that says that it's wrong to do that, I really don't understand why.

I don't take myself seriously enough to be a fashion blogger. I tried it last year, I didn't like the taste.

I'd rather laugh along with everyone if I embarrass myself than go red in the face and go and beat myself up over it.

I try not to take myself seriously enough to worry about minuscule things, or to try to keep up appearances. If you get me on a bad day, you'll probably know it, I don't like hiding my feelings.

I'm real, I'm honest, and I wear too much makeup.

I don't think anyone, or anything is ugly. Ugly isn't a word in my vocabulary. Announcing something is ugly doesn't mean it is, it only means it is to you, so nothing is infact ugly, it's only an opinion. That's why I never say anything is ugly.

I'm a well spoken and intelligent individual, and I have no problem saying that, because I know that it is true.

I just thought it might be a way for you all to learn a bit more about me and my opinions.

I'm not trying to come off 'tough' or angsty. If you think I am, it's your opinion, but it doesn't mean it's right. I'm really, actually in a fantastic mood, I just wanted to share this.

I swear, I really am a nice girl. I just have strong opinions and can be a bit cheeky sometimes, I admit that.

Thank you, and this isn't directed towards anyone.

09 March 2010

Well, I have no new pictures to post right now,

So, let's look at clothes (or shoes).
You'll get a sense of what I like, but honestly the shipping to Canada is so outrageous from most of these online shops I'll probably never order anything, haha.


I love these so much.

http://chic.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pCHIC1-6854599t220x350.jpg
These too, I love this high heeled take on spats. (ooh, that sounded so fashion-blogger-like of me.)





I love bodysuits, period.

06 March 2010

FANCY, FANCY, YOU'RE SO FANCY.

This here is what I wore yesterday. I didn't get a highlight in my hair either, it's just a feather.

I downloaded Billy Joel's '77 album The Stranger last night, absolutely love it. I've always liked all the songs of his I've heard on the radio, but never actually sought out music of his to download, I'm glad I did.

OKAY.

So much confusion.
You know how I wrote about dropping Food Studies in my last post, well I spoke to someone today and found it is an elective, so I'm staying with it. And spring break is next week for us! (us being me and all my friends).

In other news, I just got in, and have new pictures. I haven't taken them so often since September, 3 days in a row now, I think. I love this pullover, I bought it at The Patch a couple of weeks ago when I was down there with Brandon.

Now, I shall go read some of one of my books, watch some trashy celebrity gossip show (read: TMZ), and then watch my second favourite late night talk show host, Craig Ferguson.

I'll be your girl till the end.

I didn't do a lot, but I had a good day in short.
I'm basically in a planning phase right now. Planning what courses to pick up since I need more electives, thinking, well actaully, already planning to take Visual Arts and Tourism.
I found out last week that the Food Studies course isn't accepted as an elective course, so I decided I think I'll take ones that are, since that's what I need!

Anyway, what I wore today is the following and I've been making entirely my own outfits and not getting ideas or semi-copying outfits from magazines like I've been doing too much lately. It's more fun to make up your own, I think.

I took quite a few pictures, but I hated them all and deleted them before I even put them on the computer. Turns out I got one I liked and didn't manage to delete it. As well as a couple of head shots.

02 March 2010

The rockstar's girlfriend, she lost the fight.

Here's what I wore today, I really loved this outfit for a change.
I'm not sure what to write today. I did my coursework, read a bunch of Macbeth for English, and... not much else really.
