Nothing like a good ol' sunny day to put me in the perfect mood to make a post!

Anyways, I diy'd these jean shorts last summer. You can view them in a

previous post here! I love them! So far my favorite pair of high-waisted

jean shorts (which means a lot because I have about 10-15).
Shirt: Forever21

Shorts: Value Village

Since the song I was going to post doesn't have a video, I can't post it :(

Soooo I'm going to just post one of the songs on my favs playlist !

Here's Houdini - Foster the People

Finally, I have an OOTD to post on here for ya'll :) From now on, You will start to

notice a big difference in the amount of ootd posts I make. I have a lot to share with

you, from daily outfits to things I wear to grad events! :)

Here I am wearing:

- Sweater shirt H&M

- Leggings Garage

- Boots Target

- Bag H&M

- Necklace F21

To be honest, I really have nooo idea what to post for today's music. However, I
have somehow found myself in this odd nighttime routine lately where I listen to
The Naked and Famous thinking about the days activities. Because of this, I
have decided to post something from them :) Now, keep in mind, I never listen to this
type of music at alll (being why my nighttime routine is so weird to me), so this is
something that is going to sound strange to have on my blog! Here is Young Blood

I absolutely adore lace, which has caused a huge obsession with attatching it

to my clothing! In a previous post I uploaded a picture of 2 DIY'd shorts I

had added lace to. Well, since then I have added lace to a couple more

pairs. The pair of shorts above are my favourite pair, by far. I laced only the

front, not including the pockets and the zipper area, and they look amazing on.

Expect to see them in many outfit posts to come!

Finally, I have thought of a ~~song~~ artist. This guy is absolutely fantastic!

He is all I have been listening to lately (I can't believe I forgot about him

for a moment) and if you watched The Glee Project, you will recongnize

his name! Cameron Mitchell has given me the tough task of posting

the perfect song because every song is perfect. Today, I will leave you with

Such a Mystery. Also, Check out his Ep here

DIY-ing seems to be a daily routine these past summer weeks. I have been

studding like crazy, adding a twist to shorts, vests, and the ocasional shirt.

Above is a vest that has sat in my closet for exactly one year. I cut it shorter

in the front (please excuse the unevenness) and then studded the top of one

pocket, as well as the matching shoulder. I quite like it and will definetely

be wearing it from now on!

I can't seem to think of a song at the momento :( but I am going to

make another post which will give me more time to think of something!

eat lace.

2011-08-09T16:44:00.000-07:00

These are my first 2 pairs of diy'd shorts :) After a really long hour of my sewing machine hating me

with all its life, I was able to finally start on these shorts and add on the lace! For a first time diy-er

and a sewing machine beginner, I think I did pretty well! Now, the shorts on the left will probably

get cut shorter, so when that happens I will give an update, along with any other diy's I do.

What I used: Highwaisted shorts (thrifted)

Lace (Michaels)

Sewing Machine

It's very simple to do and I definitely encourage you all to go buy some thrifted shorts and add

some lace to them! :)

Now with all this music on my blog, I guess I better add a song onto every post ;)

Since my mom just called me and this song is my ringtone , i will use it :)

Here is Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People.

Summer has finally arrived here in Vancouver, yet the other day I found my self shopping in a mall. I purchased everything you see above: 1 t-shirt croptop, 3 tank-top croptops (the 3rd tank-top crop top (white/grey stripped) some how ended up in the wash without my knowing!), and 5 bandeaus. These crop tops are the perfect match to summer. Coming in one size fits all, they tend to be little roomy, but in summers heat, it's the perfect way to keep cool! I've been wearing them with the 5 bandeaus above, which has let me go bra-less and free on these hot summer days! Now, depending on the bandeau you purchase, a bra-less day may turn into a horrible one! Make sure, if the bandeau is strapless, you wear it around the house first to see if it will stay up! If your wardrobe doesn't contain a crop top, be sure to go purchase one asap! Here's the link to the section I purchased mine from: AA crop tops

As you may know, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen are my top

fashion icons. I adore them and their personal fashion sense

to the enth degreee. I constantly find myself creating outfits and

looking online for pieces that look like something they have worn.

I actually bought some loafers the other day, thanks to Mary-Kate.

2011-05-14T18:26:00.000-07:00

nebula printed clothing and accessories are at the top

of my want list. i just love the way they look. they're

like tie-dye, but better :)

I'm just about to cuddle up on my new couch and watch

the hangover while drinking tea and organizing all the

new items i purchased for my little tea shop at school!

magazines i picked up in the last few weeks.

HELLO EVERYONE :) i am so very sorry for not posting in a while, but suddenly i got extremely busy and just couldn't find the time to post anything. ANYWAYS, I HAVE A QUESTION: I have been looking at other blogs and am starting to slowly dislike my own, in the way of how my posts look... soooo, should i keep posting like i do? or change it up?

Thank-you :)
