Hipstamatic Aka The Best App Ever

A couple things I love right now (from L-R clockwise):
1. BF's baseball raglan and my mandatory ear chain / 2. Study sessions in the sunroom with Timmy's / 3. Free VIP parking in the Art Parkade
4. Daylight savings: longer days and later sunsets / 5. Pretty chandeliers / 6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Percy & Zara booties

Investing in Feathers & Chains

{thrifted necklace stand, h&m earrings}

My right ear (just the one, remember?) is obsessed with those twisted ones. Also, since taking these photos just last week, there's already been a slew of new and inexpensive additions being strung on my t-bar... which are now just hanging out with the rest of the family until I stop favoring this one pair. Similar to what I learn in Anthropology: investing in one offspring is at the cost of the parent's ability to invest in another. Only in this case, earrings... and not little monkey babies. Yeah? No. This is just a phase, I swear.

Captain Hook Would Hate Me

{lot of vintage watches, $20}

Boyfriend and I went thrift shopping a couple of weeks ago and for once we both came out with some dope, new but previously loved stuff. He gripped a denim jacket for under $10, while I left the place with a much-needed necklace stand (I'm sick of untangling shit), an oversized sweater and to top it all off: these time pieces. They were all squished into the tiniest little Ziploc bag as a set and locked up in the glass display case right by the cashiers, which to me seemed kind of unnecessary at first because they're definitely all broken and and no longer ticking anyways. But then I thought, another persons junk is another persons treasure remember? And besides they all technically got it right at most two times a day and that's good enough for me.

The best mascara money could ever buy, hands down.

I Am My Own

The accent. Wearing things backwards. All that 'tuff stuff'. Multiple vintage watches. Layering scarves. Black nail polish.
Men's lace-up oxfords. Headpieces. Back tattoos. Her position on fur. Blazers. How much she talks about her mother.

Thief In The House

A Belated February 14th

To be honest though, the Boyfriend and I really aren't that big into this "holiday" so I don't really know why I got all dressed up for the occasion sporting light pink and hearts but oh well. I guess I can re-use the tights on Halloween and tell everybody that they're little black bats? No presents were involved but with it landing on a Sunday this year, we were able to hang out together as if it were any other one (which it is, technically to us anti-valentines) - with the exception that I had to be taken to the airport for my 4AM flight out the same night. Time is always valuable though and should be well-spent regardless, especially with your loved ones, no? So we had more than enough hours to do dinner at Joey's, meet up with another couple to double date the rest of the night, and drive all the way down to Nectar without even thinking about making reservations... at a dessert house... on Valentine's Day. Oops! Who's genius idea was that? =/ It was totally mine. Obviously, they had no room for the four of us last minute lovers, so as when all else fails, just call it a movie night... The Book of Eli managed to allot itself perfectly and end in time for me to sneak in 3hrs of sleep beside my sweetheart, then it was off to be dropped off at Domestic Departures. Hope you all enjoyed yours too, whether planned or impromptu like ours. ♥

"I'm still in the process of growing up: I'm not as obsessive compulsive as I used to be. I'm the type of person who will recopy notes when I make minor mistakes such as writing on the wrong line or incorrectly spacing things. And don't even get me started on this blog... you have no idea how many unpublished posts I have sitting on my Blogger dashboard at the moment. Somehow, however, it's starting to wear off."
