A Value Village Story

 After working this whole week, I was surprised with a manicure, pedicure, and a facial! Imagine that. I've been in painting clothes this entire week, and I will not post a photo of that. (I will tell you it includes my vast collection of yoga pants and sports t-shirts.) 
After our little spa date, we had some dinner and went to Value Village to spend quite some time browsing. Now, if theres anything that not many people know about me, it's that I can spend my whole days looking through the racks at thrift stores. It's like raiding a whole bunch of peoples closets all at once! I'll start you off with my absolute favourite item I found tonight in the Ethnic section.


 Yes. A snake print dashiki. The clothing gods were upon me when I stumbled upon this gem. I can't wait for it to be warm enough for me to wear it!


Now, these shoes were given to me by my home stay. They're brand new and she was just going to get rid of them! I can't wait to wear these baby's too. It's just such a wonderful week.
Also, I'm noticing a reptile print trend here in my closet. Actually, now that I think of it, it's a little bit out of control. My school bag has a reptile print, too.
Feel free to send an intervention team.
All my love. xx

(Painters) Thumb

I don't have an outfit for you folks today, as I've been painting my home stays sewing room. And if you really want to know what I wore, it's old black yoga pants with paint stains and a surf camp t shirt. What what! Painters clothes swag!

Anyway, I can't promise an outfit tomorrow either. But I did get rid of all the owls in my room, so I'll show you the pictures I have in my room instead. Excited? You'll have to wait.

Off to bed I go.

97.

Now now, I won't usually post on weekends but this happens to be a day that making a Zara wish list felt appropriate. I will justify it by saying my birthday is in three months. SO. With that said, this post is mostly for my family and boyfriend. And just know that this was hard to narrow down to these pieces. So you can't really go wrong with anything from Zara.

What up, summer weather!




forever 21 top, billabong shorts, nixon watch, gifted necklace

After a nice chat with my brother, I'm convinced that I should keep this blog up rather than a tumblr blog, and that I should do outfit posts more often. Fair? 
As of right now, I'm in the middle of semester number three. (SO CRAZY) I feel like I just got here. Upon graduation, I've decided to move back to small town Alberta and start a business with my best friend, Patricia. I will keep you up to date on details, promise. At the moment, however, Patricia is on a two month trip in Europe, and I'm stuck here at school!
Today, Vancouver has been very kind to supply me with a sunny cloudless day to sit on the front patio and read a book. And try and tan my ghostly legs. 
Stay tuned, I'm not gonna bail this time.
