Kitty Cat & Aritzia!!

Let me start off this post by saying I hate pants. Hate, hate, hate. There's nothing more outfit stunting than a boring pair of pants. However, these pants are far from that! Despite my hatred for pants, I decided to accept working with Aritzia for a game of "blogger tag"--where 1 blogger receives a different colour of the same pair of pants to style, and "tags" another blogger friend of theirs to wear a different colour! And I'm glad I did, because for once, these pants are changing my mind about the boyish style. 

Check out my Aritzia feature with several of my friends, here!!

(Pants are from Aritzia of course / top is from Sheinside)

As you can tell, I have really short legs and an extremely long torso XD lol

I actually have a strange story about this sweater! When I was in grade school in the early 90's, the brand "Self Esteem" that sold clothing through JCPenny's stocked a white shirt with nearly (if not the exact same) cat face that's on this sweater! I lost the shirt years ago and was always bummed...until the whole cat sweater fad started, and I found this, and rekindled my love with it, because I am apparently forever like a five year old.

(Sweater by Sheinside/ Necklace by Romwe)

I think these pants are a bit too tight on me, haha! They're pretty warm, too!

PS: As you'll notice, these photos are way bigger than normal. My blog used to be glitched a lot smaller, but I figured out a way around the problem, so no more tiny pictures, yaaay! Now I just need to finish saving for a fancier camera, and the photos will actually look great this large, haha!

Autumn safari party!! // Annual Tomato War

These pictures are actually super old from this summer, and I somehow I forgot to click "submit" on this post--it's been sitting here this whole time, so I figured in an effort to remind myself of how much I miss summer, I will finally post these!
Also, I wanted to apologize for my lack of blogging! I've been SUPER busy and the weather here hasn't been good for taking pictures.

I have a lot of looks coming up soon from working with aSociete (who came up here from San Fran to see me!) that I'm excited to show off, so I hope to post those soon!!

(Top is from Motel Rocks, necklace is from Vanessa Mooney, and skirt is from Choies)

I love everything about this skirt from Choies! Ring & brown breaded bracelet is by Vanessa Mooney.

Anyway, these pictures are from my dad's company's "Tomato War" this year! He works for one of the biggest Organic food's distributors in the USA, and every year, there's always old tomatoes left over, and somehow a long time ago they started the tradition of making mock battles with the left overs.
Pictured is a bouncy castle, that I'm sad to say I was over the height limit for. NO FUN ALLOWED.

My mom, dad, and Josh at the farm!

Some of the people really get super into the battle!

For some reason I had like 30 good photos of this guy. I always seemed to catch him at just the right moment, haha!

Some people kind of just stand there and take it though, note the guy in the red shirt in the middle, lol.

Awee my baby & photographer! Love hiiiiimmm! We went on a hayride with my parents!

Pigs never looked so glorious!

They were actually sad when we all drove away, they kind of remind me of French Bulldogs--they have a similar temperament!

Everyone who participated in the tomato war!!

Pretty contrail as we were leaving!
Kind of reminds me of the meteor / metorite that hit Russia yesterday! I'm assuming you all heard about it so there's no point going into detail, but dang! I'm prepared to hear Bruce Willis Armageddon jokes for the next month. My heart goes out to all the poor people who got showered in glass from their windows exploding, how scary! I'm  just super glad that the asteroid that passed by us the same day didn't hit! Sounded like it was a pretty close call, cosmically speaking.


Again, sorry for the lack of updates, I suck, etc. etc. Expect more updates soon!

Snow Leopard

The weather recently has been so interesting! It's been raining non stop for the last few days, but before that, it was foggy for almost a WEEK straight. And all of the trees were all frosty like this! Isn't it pretty??

(Bag is from Persunmall, jacket is from BangGood, and necklace is from Romwe)

Cute bag from Persunmall.

The tree had little frozen apples on it!

Layered cross necklace by Romwe!! I've worn it like 5 times already XD

This road is actually riiiight behind where the first photos in this post were taken, but it was seriously so foggy you couldn't even see the road despite it being really close!

Byebye for now!!

BLACKJACK // Snow on the Mountain

Aruuugh there's snow so close I can SEE IT!! It's what I'm looking at, in this photo. I wish that is was at a lower elevation so I can have a snow day, since I'm still secretly still like five or something. Anyway, finally styled my UNIF Hellbound heels for a look! They're so much taller than my Jeffrey Campbell lita's! Lita's are a breeze to walk in, but these...I sort of feel like a need a helmet. Won't stop me from climbing mountains in them, though!

(Coat is from Bang Good)

Here's the song that inspired this outfit! It's "Do It Again" by Steely Dan.

Camo crop top oh yiss. Top, skirt, necklace, AND tights are from Romwe!!

New Years 2013

For New Years my boyfriend Josh, and friends Jenna & Matt & I all went to a party in a warehouse--same warehouse party we went to last year on New Years! Last year it was a bit weirder and had some Gregorian chanting or something at midnight. It was weird, but amazing!

Josh looks so happy and cute in this one!! 

Jenna & Matt!!

Me & Josh!

Jenna's Sailor Moon locket tattoo! I've been thinking of getting a tattoo of the same thing (or one of her other lockets) but I'm a pussy and I haven't yet. 

Snookies!

This guy was rad.

I love climbing on things, too!

The couple dancing to the far right look really cute, and the guy on the far left looks hilarious.

The outfit I wore! Not exactly LookBook material, but I really like it anyway!

My UNIF Hellbounds!!

Matt big pimpin'


Hope you guys all had a wonderful 2012, and are having an even better 2013!!
