Two Can Play This Game

Scarf: winners, Jacket: H&M, Rings and Handwarmers: F21

I think we are officially in fall now. I decided to dress like a funeral director, which consisted of every black article of clothing in my closet, including my non functional hand warmers and my new favourite scarf.

October is just around the corner and I am kind of freaking out about it. I am, however, excited for hockey!! GO OILERS GO.

Flavour Of the Week

Vintage Jacket, J Brand jeans, Frye Motorcycle boots

I'm trying to grow out my bangs like Taylor in The Rachel Zoe Project. I heart her style and attitude problem.

Went to the Value Village sale after school yesterday. I love the system that Vicky, Tifanie and I have when we go. We split up, come together after half an hour of looking, realize we have too much stuff and need a cart, then split up for a second time before we line up to try stuff on. Tifanie and I usually pick things out for each other hah it's so cute. No don't worry, I won't run Value Village out of business.

Sorry my pics are so out of focus sometimes. If you want to know who takes my photos for me, it's actually a self timer and I use a plastic table as my tripod. I KNOW, my sister makes fun of me for it.

a one way ticket takes me to the times we had before

Joe Fresh shirt, AA tank, Marc by Marc Jacob shorts, F21 bag, Nevada sandals

Doesn't it look like I'm in the jungle? Just disregard the flooring. Ha.

Spent yesterday morning thrifting with the bff until he had a severe allergy attack which left us at the mall. I realized that shopping just isn't the same when you don't have an idea of what you want to buy. I did, however, purchase a sweet red toggle coat which I have been wanting for a while now. Now I must wait for snow!

all the things we wish we knew

Thrifted cardigan, AA tank, F21 shorts, Club Monaco tights, Thrifted cowboy boots

Gloomy weather tends to send me into an alternate universe where it's okay to mix sequin hot pants and cowboy boots together. I was trying for the whole Mary-Kate circa 2005, but ended up looking like a mess. My sister thinks I'm so weird now.

I start sewing class tomorrow. I am both dreading and ready to get it over with...again. This time around, I will be sewing a skirt, a shirt and a pair of pants. An interlocking mini skirt still qualifies as a skirt, right? Because it's totally going to be leather!

Sidelined

Old Navy Jean Jacket, AA tank, Forever 21 leotard, J Brand Jeans, Frye Boots, Balenciaga

Was supposed to buy my laptop today but got sidetracked. Instead, I ended up in Chinatown and spotted a Youtube sensation. I think.

I <3 ...

I heart NY hoodie, AA lamé leggings, Frye Motorcycle boots, H&M faux leather jacket

It kind of looks like I have a baby bump! Anyway, school started on Wednesday but I'm pretty immune to it now having been in school for three months this summer. This semester is packed and I learned the hard way that stress and Rockstar don't mix, so my new goal this year is to eat less fast food, finish all my readings ahead of everybody else and not fall asleep in class. And of course with my best friend making comments about a microwaveable air conditioner, it's bound to be a good one.

Also, Edmonton Fashion Week kicks off September 16-24. I haven't decided which day I will attend, but it should make a good show!

Good bye Summer

To sum it all up, Vancouver was hot, full of "HOUSEKEEPING" moments, stealing keycards and getting sprayed in the face by a sprinkler, late night slurpee runs, getting "stuck" in an elevator, finding notes underneath the door, taking creeper photos, trying to include Rico in every picture, prepping for our food club, perfecting that group shot, watching killer seagulls attack, petting a giant dog (and not the drug dog this time), spending almost an hour in a photobooth doing fob poses, waking up to alien ringtones, loyalty, wishing we lived in the Sheraton, watching a boy cream himself, hearing everyone snore, skee ball, half thrifting, running: amazing race style, walking 1000 blocks in the span of 4 days, photo finger illusions, discussing why trains go choo choo, not silencing words with silent letters. I would do it all over again. But next summer, we're east coasting it.

I did a horrible job at documenting my outfits worn on the trip. It was ridiculously hot the first three days, and the last day I basically wore my pjs to Richmond. Attractive, I know. So use your imagination.
