My body is a cage

Well well well, winter break is getting closer and closer and I'm just barely hanging in there. How about you guys? You still breathing? That's good.
DIY dreams are one of the things that keep pushing me to just keep working until the break comes, then it'll be CRAFTERNOONS ALL DAY EVERYDAY BABY! Here are a few ideas floating around the ol' DIY folder...

I don't really know where to start! A practicle cowl neck warmer? A bejewelled button up? Some detachable sleeves on a dress, perhaps? These are just a taste of the plans to come, the rest are in my head or scrawled on scaps of paper crammed in the pages of my textbooks. Anyone else have the nasty habit of designing clothes whilst studying Shakespeare?
No? Okay it's just me then.

Also, as you may or may not have noticed, I deleted my whole links list. A lot of the blogs on there were old and not online anymore, so I just decided to scrap the list all together. I might just make a favourites list... but then I feel so bad about leaving people out. I don't know yet, just let me know if you want your link posted in the comments or drop me an e-mail. Mental Hello Kitty thanks you!

Satan's evil in a nylon gown

Where fashion and BEAUTIFULCOMICGOLD collide:




Noel and Jullian doing a Boosh Band performance at the turning on of Christmas lights at Stella McCartney in London.
This will be my outfit for tomorow: Red dress, check. Gold boots, check. Silver-haired Bestie, I'll work on that. I am seriously inspired right now.
If anyone wants to make this into a Christmas card and mail it to me, I might cry of happiness.

Let's have some fun, this beat is sick...

Just a few quick updates today. I got two of my recent eBay orders in today, one of them being those amazing boots a blogged about earlier, and another being these MINDBLOWING sunglasses. They're part steampunk, part 90's cybergoth, and one HUGE part Gaga. They'll suit me well cos I've a wierd nose just like hers. Big nosed people, unite and be proud!!

So hot, no?

And just when you thought they didn't get any better... BAM! They freakin' flip up and become Harry Potter specs! Too good, guys. Too good

Hopefully I'll have a better post for the weekend, but in the meantime I guess you guys should know that I CAVED and made a twitter account. I used to just assume twitter was a fad and would be over and old news in a few months, and agreed with my Shakespeare prof when he most eliquently stated "I am not a twit, therefor I do not tweet". But now since it looks like its here to stay... why not:

Nice and Shiny on Twitter
"Follow" me... I guess? ... Or not.... please?

There's a picture in my wallet, I dare not speak her name

This whole week I've been dressing like I'm still living in the 90's. You should have seen me on Tuesday, I looked straight out of My So-Called Life, with just a touch of Full House. Nice.

And apparently I feel the need to pose like Jessica Rabbit nowadays?? Just trying to keep things interesting, kids.

Good gosh, do these not look like the feet of a 5 year old? I'm not over ruffly socks though... how old is too old to wear pink lacey ruffle socks with saddle shoes? Nevaaar, hahaha!

It's going to be a library weekend for me, so buckle up for some fun times and some study-tastic outfits! To be honest, sometimes my library outfits are better than my walking-around-campus-goingtoclass outfits. Not sure why, as almost all my classes are in the same building so dressing for the trek across the frozen tundra that is Winnipeg winter won't be an issue for me this year. Yay, impracticle outfits all around!
For the winter I think I will make in my personal goal to fit into this category of awesomeness:

I want your loving and I want your revenge

I wish I had more to post, but ya know... I don't. I was going to send this outfit in to Style Bubble for Susie's solid-colour-outfit challenge but I realized that this outfit doesn't have very many colours... and it's not very good. Oh well! I do like the skirt layering though.

Trying to cram as many colours into an outfit really made me realize how little colours I actually own, never mind how hard it is putting a bunch into a single outfit. To be honest I think it's quite LAZY when people (including myself, unfortunately) just wear tons of black and muted colours every day. Some say it's "chic" or "minimalistic"... I just think it's boring.

If these shoes didn't cut off the blood circulation to my feet, I'd probz wear them every day.

Obviously

It seems that the ol' blogosphere has really slowed down lately. My google reader is getting pretty dusty, and my comments have been quite bare in the last little while. I guess everyone's pretty busy with school/work/friends, but lucky for all of you, I push aside school work/don't have a job/rarely make plans with friends so I can blog! Yeeey, more posts from me!

Black and white FTW! I know don't have to tell you where this shirt is from, but for all you under-rock-dwellers, it's Tavi's Borders and Frontiers t-shirt. 'Tis amazing. It's incredible how much I fiend over graphic oversized t-shirts. I love finding new and crazy things to wear, but I will always have space in my heart for some oversized tees and leggings and/or tight black jeans. I dunno, maybe I just like to dress like a boy most of the time...
You're probably all wondering WHEN you're going to see my Halloween pictures! Yes??
Weeellll.....
I don't have any.
Sorry to dissapoint, but I gave up on finishing my costume (was going to be the epic/fabulous/GemSweaterGoddess, my idol Leslie Hall) and trying to find somewhere descent to go on Halloween so I just ended up handing out candy at a friends house, playing Sing-Star with a 3 person party, then watching a horrible Friday the 13th remake at another friend's place. PARTY ANIMAL GUYZ!!!
Wearing this lovely guy on my ear was the closest thing I got to a costume

He's awesome, non? I got him from an All-Saints store in London's Gatwick airport. I mean, couldn't resist, it's a freaking skeleton wearing a top hat!! How charming is that? I wear him on my right ear with a diamond stud in the other, to avoid looking too much like your 5th grade teacher... you know what I'm talking about, the one who has a different pair of earings for every occasion... like an un-cool Miss Frizzle.
Oh yeah, just wanna say that this is sooooooo how I'm doing my hair tommorow! Let's hear it for Cotton, working the coolest and easiest 'lil hairdo on Never Mind the Buzzcocks a few weeks back (sooooo obsessed with watching this show online, I die of laughter EVERY episode). Seriously, I think I need to make a Fearne Cotton appreciation post, which would include this video which makes me laugh every time (oldie but a goodie). She is too rad for words.

Check. Out. COTTON!

You know me better

True love is sharing wardrobes


Be more adorable, why don’t you?!? Jeez

Current aspirations for life: find a hot boy, make him mine, then dress him up daily like my very own Ken doll… but no orange tan or over-gelled hair, please.

If a boy does not let you dress him, or thinks he get some sugar whenever he pleases, take it from Angela and shut him down like a pro.
(Watch 32:15-34:00 ish . Sorry, coudln't find a clipped video...)



Oh Angela, we are two of the very same soul. Them hotties drive us MAD, but we can’t quit them. Although I probably wouldn’t have the willpower to resist Jared Leto… just sayin <3
pics from hel-looks and dropsnap. Sorry, no clue where the Susie and Steve one is from
