moi je joue

I love Brigitte Bardot's music now, especially this song. So summery and happy. In the spirit of summer I also dyed my hair a much lighter brown. At first it turned my hair the colour of Glinda the good witch's from the Wizard of Oz but it fixed itself overnight thankfully...

Just a quick post before I head out! I picked up these kids jeans at a thrift store in Montreal (where I also saw the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition which was amazing, pictures later). I ended up cutting them myself and now I have the perfect pair of highwaisted jean shorts.

I just got back from New York today, and it is one of my favourite cities... this was definitely my favourite trip too. I was only there for 5 days which went incredibly fast, and I wished I could have stayed much longer. I'm planning to come back in winter because I already miss it. The weather was insanely hot also - I stuck to light, airy fabrics so I wouldn't pass out from heat exhaustion. My red romper is one of the most comfortable pieces I own, and it was one of my favourite outfits to wear.

When I went to the Met to check out the Alexander McQueen exhibit, I had the most amazing experience - I saw Anna Wintour. I was waiting in line to buy tickets and I saw her off to the side, not very far from me. She was of course wearing Chanel sunglasses and I immediately recognized her. Her bob is pretty stunning in real life, I have to say.

After I stopped hyperventilating from seeing her (just kidding but not really), I waited in line for 45 minutes for Savage Beauty. It was completely worth it. If you haven't seen the exhibit yet, you have to. It's disturbing, beautiful and breathtaking and every room is designed perfectly from the music to the lighting.

Needless to say I am now in love with New York. Here's my New York photo diary.

when doves cry

Polkadots are seriously one of my favourite prints. This dress is incredibly soft and I love the light pink... it even has cute little ruffles on the front. It looks even better when it's belted, so I like to pair it with my new belt. It has doves as the clasps, so sweet!

I'm leaving for New York in two weeks and I cannot be more excited! Summer is definitely the best season of the year.

I have been playing Death Cab's new album non-stop since summer has started, isn't it so good? You are a Tourist is probably my favourite song from it, although I do have a soft spot for Some Boys. Anyways, I have been really really neglecting this blog! But I promise to keep it up more often, now that school and exams are finally past me. I've had such a great start to summer so far... and I especially can't wait for my trip to New York in July. Oh man.

Anyway, this is one of my favourite day dresses. So soft and sweet. And these are my end of the year gifts from my mom - I love the platform. They're surprisingly comfortable.

Hope to update soon! Oh and also I'm addicted to Tumblr now.

One of my simpler summer outfits. When the days get muggy I try to wear soft, casual shirts that keep the heat down, and this is one of them. My mom gave it to me a while ago, she bought it at a Native American store. It actually has teeny tiny beads on a braided string hanging from the front, which I love. I wore this outfit to school today and I felt great.

Oh and these are my new favourite shades! I just ordered them a few days ago. I've been dying for some new cat eyes since I lost my last ones at a Vampire Weekend concert in September, which was a huge bummer. But I love these.

The end of my school year is quickly approaching and I've been attacked with final assignments so sorry for my everlasting absence! I will try to update again soon. Have a good week you guys.

Well, here I am debuting my newest purchase - this adorable dress I picked up in a vintage shop in Montreal. It even has little bloomer-style shorts underneath which I think is hilarious.

film

I've been having fun experimenting with good old fashioned film cameras lately. I find they're so much more exciting because you never really know how a picture will turn out. I guess I just love the mystery of that - I was waiting excitedly for a day for these pictures to be developed.

Oh and after a small trip to Montreal I picked up a super cute vintage dress that I can't wait to show you guys, once the weather is decent!

bookends

One of my new favourite outfits... I've worn it so often lately. I've had these awesome flared jeans since like grade 8 and they still fit (let's hope they do for a loooong time). I picked up this bustier sort of top in a thrift store and I am crazy for the lace. Also my bangs are back! It feels pretty good, I gotta say. I've missed those babies.

And now one of my favourite songs that I wanted to show you guys - Simon and Garfunkel know where it's at.
