You know you're from the prairies when you can't leave the harbour without satisfying your cravings for a hamburger made with 100% Alberta Beef.

If It Makes You Happy

I have been neglecting this blog as of late, and that in part has to do with being sick of dressing for summer weather. I'm pretty over shorts and t-shirts, and if you take a look at my closet, I honestly have no clue as to how I got through this summer without resorting to walking around naked. My only dilemma now is finding a good boot to walk around campus in, and I'm leaning towards the cognac riding boot from Aldo. I know, going with generic crap tends to please me these days. Along with anything leopard, oversized, and from the 80s.

A couple weeks back, I asked my friend Erica to paint my converse hi-tops with Nintendo characters (yeah, I'm secretly a nerd and can kick your ass in Mario Kart). She is a crazy talented second year design student at Emily Carr, and I just love her ability to create something without having to be told how to do it. Why have a boring pair of hi-tops when you can have Peach and Toad on them? Thanks Erica!

Perhaps I should have run my shoes through the washing machine prior to having them painted...oops!

Went to Drumheller with the family and Mack on the weekend. My memory of Drumheller is exactly as I remembered it. Hot, touristy and fake dinosaurs everywhere. I wanted to hike up to the top of the hoodoos, but with the +34 degree weather and the wind picking up, I'm sure I would have lost my hat. The best part was the suspension bridge and eating sushi! August 21 is Fob Day in Richmond, BC :)

Oh and I know I'm so white, but I can't tan to save my life.

Wearing F21 shirt, MJ shorts, Juicy shoes, Balenciaga, Ray-Bans and F21 fedora

Major Bedhead

Vintage cardigan, AA tank, April 77 jeans, Tory Burch flats, Dior sunglasses

The last time I wore this cardigan, my professor asked if it was vintage. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that something looks predictably secondhand.

Forgive me for my major bedhead, but I don't own a hair brush. My sister is probably the only person who will catch my reference LOL.

Sugar, We're Going Down

F21 Fedora, Ray-Bans, AA Raglan, J Brand, Nevada sandals

I think the high today was 29 degrees, and it's only going to get warmer. I know everyone and their mom owns this raglan from American Apparel, but I have this weird phobia of wearing just a t-shirt and having the straps of my backpack touch my shoulder...so I'm always in long sleeves.

Only ten more econ classes until I am free! Until then, I pretty much spend every waking moment being scared on the third floor of the library. It's unbearably cold and I swear it's haunted.
