this picture was taken outside of the museum of contemporary art in montreal.

i am wearing a vintage hat and my blue sweater dress i got from the salvation army in lonsdale, north vancouver.

osheaga is this weekend and i'm not there :( 

but i am patiently waiting for my cousin to arrive in vancouver from budapest

so it's ok this year :)

currently listening to : "the passenger" by iggy pop 

So many beaches so little time

the weather, my high level of ADD, and my day job which involves sitting in front of a computer have all caused me to take a blogging hiatus. my cousin, rachel, is super handy with a camera and took these pictures while i was half-aware in coal harbour over the weekend.

my boots are mens boots from aldo, my dress is from american apparel, everything else is from value village more or less.


i have been listening to the song "Broke" by modest mouse so much lately it's kind of obsessive

phantogram

phantogram playing at venue last night in vancouver- her outfit reminded me of the post i had just made about black-on-black with skinnies and major metal jewelry

this pic is from the capital hill block party- better to see the black with necklaces. love that look

beach bum

wearing too many bracelets, neon-ish pink bikini from victoria secret, cover/drape-y/thing from front and co. i wore this with a pair of black lace shorts. i am obsessed with lace right now!

Inspiration

Edie Sedgwick in Andy Warhol's Factory
Why I like it: Basic black pants, basic white tee, hardcore make-up, statement metal earrings

Elin Kling in sleek black: super tight black skinnies, black ankle boots, oversized mens sweater

my wrist- all metal at the capital hill block party. 

right now the look that i am liking is a really basic outfit with a lot of metal accents. i am wearing a lot of black!, skinny (tight) fitting pants and baggy, basic tops, and pairing that with TONS of metal jewelry. i also like wearing a basic dress with no necklace and a lot of wrist jewelry and earrings.

Capital Hill Block Party 2012

denim on denim- ooooohhh yeah!!!

My outfit: leather converse, vintage purse, vintage jacket, vintage shirt, sunglasses: american apparel

i spent last weekend at the capital hill block party-aka hipster's paradise-in seattle, washington-hence the blogging hiatus. BEST WEEKEND EVER!!! i have been pretty bummed the last few weeks that i will not be attending osheaga this year in montreal-but after this weekend i am totally ok with it! i try to go to a least one music festival every summer, and usually ones that i have never been to before- block party was amazing! if you haven't heard of it- google now-and go next year!


also, while you are searching the internet looking at the block party pictures hating your life you should download the following songs that i heard this weekend:

"Oblivion" by Grimes
"Five Seconds" by Twin Shadows
"Mouthful of Diamonds" by Phantogram
"People Got A Lot of Nerve" by Neko Case
"Stay Useless" by Cloud Nothings
