Talk to me, dance with me

So maybe I should have written this post a week ago, before I dropped off the face of the earth. The truth is that I've decided to take a teeny tiny blogging break... only untill the school year and exams are over. I've seriously been the worst student this term, so I figured with less than 2 weeks left I might as well throw myself into school work and just not worry about the internet/blogging world for a bit.
I will tell you all that this past weekend I took all the pictures for my shop, so once again it IS coming soon! The friends who helped me with the pictures really liked the pieces, which is so reassuring! Working on these things for months with no one's opinion but my own I start to wonder "will anyone even like this?", "Is this wearable?", etc. I really hope all of you at there like them soo when you see them! My friend took the pictures with her camera and hasn't sent them to me yet, otherwise I'd love to give you a sneak peak!
ALSO I've got another project lined up. Not blog-related, but it's something I'm SO psyched about and you all will for sure see it when it's done!
OH, one more thing: Going to Toronto in July to see GAGALOO!!

Then right after I'll be heading over to London for 5 months! Holy crap, that sounds scary now that I actually think about it... last summer I was there for 2 months and I didn't really get homesick, but who knows what will happen in over twice that time. Maybe I'll pick up an accent, haha!

The way you made it seem so real

Today I've got some outfits for yaz from the past week or so. Who knows really, at this point in the school year a day, a week, one month... it's all the same to me.
This outfit was so obviously Annie Hall inspired (confirmed by my Dad, who also likes to call me Annie Hall whenever I wear a beanie or beret...) but it wasn't intentional. Whenever I wear this oversized blazer with badges on it I automatically think of: A) Mannen Som Elsket Yngve, and B) Rick from the Young Ones (see sidebar).

I love buttoning up collared shirts all the way to the top, but on my 36Cs I'm fully aware that it's not the most flattering look. Nevertheless, wear what you love, I say!

Speaking of collared shirts, have I failed to mention this sexy little slice of heaven, courtesy of Madame Hipster Musings?? Isabel remember my embarrasingly obsessive comment when she posted this shirt on her blog, so decided to send it to me just cos she's so dang nice. Trying to do this piece justice... looking somewhat like an 80's cowgirl... which I'm sorta liking...

Woopwoop garage photoshoots! If you dare to venture into the musty depths of my blog archives, you'll see that this isn't the first time I've skipped around my garage with a self-timer camera in tow. FUNTIMEZ!!

There's a tug-a-war and I keep losing

Saturday the sun came out from hibernation and decided to grace Winnipeg with its presence. FINALLY. I was seriously getting depressed from all the grey everywhere. Grey sky, grey pavement, dirty grey snow. It was like technicolor had never been invented! It's sunny again today, but I can tell it wont be for long so I ran outside to take some pictures of my less-than-exciting outfit.

I kind of like how unflattering these pants are? Also, note my NEW GLASSES which you may have seen on my twitter? I have literally been looking for the perfect glasses for about 2 years and I'm so happy I found ones that I love. Besides the fact that they look amazing with my face shape (if I do say so myself), but they compliment my winged-out eyeliner which I basically have on everyday.

And I'm glad you all like my Gaga jailbait look... I'm nowhere near close to being sick of the Telephone video. I've watched nearly 10 times... including once in 3-D. I tried sending my pics into FYLG but I guess I'm NOT GOOD ENOUGH for them, jeez!! How rude! (Feel free to protest and/or try submitting it yourself ;) ). SPEAKING OF GAGALOO, guess who announced new tour dates today?? That's right!! Including several Canadian dates, and I'm going to be going to at least one of them! I'm so excited even though I don't have tickets yet... I can't calm down!!

Bring me that nonsense sound and I'll be back

As I drown in my own procrastination, I hope you will enjoy this outfit from yesterday. I realized that skirts aren't really my thing, although I love the look of them, as I constantly tug and tug and tug on the silly things! It just feels too breezy down there for my own good. I love the security of a good legging.

I don't even know why I made this into a gif, I don't like it when other people do it! It gives my eye cramps. More importantly, check out this new top I thrifted! SHEER polka dot sleeves with matching collar and pocket? What what??

Ignore mirror smudges and look at that red PVC doggy coat in the background! So Gaga.

How we move from A to B it can't be up to me

I don't know what's come over me, but I've been lusting over wierd makeup lately. The last three nights I've been doing wierd things with my eyebrows: first trying to cover them up completely, then attempted Balenciaga brows, and last night I went full for on disco ball eyebrows. I would seriously consider doing this for a night out, I think it looks pretty rad.





How's that for an injection of fun into your day? Jeez it seems like everyone has been so busy and BLAH lately. Just because we have stuff to do doesn't mean it has to be boring, right? Maybe I'll start doing glitter brows everyday just to make people perk up a bit!!
Also, today I looked at my archives and noticed it's Nice and Shiny's 2nd birthday coming up. Maybe a special post is in order? Too bad I'm fresh out of ideas so you'll have to think for me people!
EDIT: Apparently great minds think alike! Fellow Winnipeg blogger extraordinaire Raez from Cheap Thrills had the same idea, just posted today! I promise I did this last night, I didn't copy her!

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel

Yesterday's outfit consisted of a whole lotta layers. When I was putting it together I was thinking kind of Japanese minimalist? But with a lot of layers? Note that my outdoor coat would be piled on top of all this jumble as well! Hopefully the Japanese streetstyle vibe translated at least a bit here, otherwise it just looks like couldn't decide what to wear so piled on half my closet (come to think of it, that's what I do most of the time...). Nothing in my wardrobe is really getting my attention right now, so I'm trying to outfit-compose the night before to escape the huge t-shirt + leggings combo that comes along with most of my rushed mornings.

I fully intended wearing these chunky platform sandals outside IN THE SNOW, but as I teetered down my driveway I slipped and slid and almost fell over before I even got to my car, so I opted for the black lace-up boots that I've been wearing waaaaaaaaaaay too much lately. WAY TO TAKE RISKS, GIRL!!
