Down every underpass you'll see somebody stealing the show

I really can't decide the best way to post about Toronto. A lot of excitement. A lot of pictures.
Because I don't want to drag on about the trip, I think I'll just split it into two posts. By the way, it's late right now and I'm tired so text will be minimal. It's a good thing the pictures are going to do the talking here, because I got a brand new camera and it is sexxxxxxyyyyy. After A LOT of debate I finally settled on the Canon T1i, and I literally opened the camera's box the night before I left so I was (and still am) figuring out how it all works.
Testing out the cam with pictures of our lunch. I'm seriously still thinking about this food, it was so SO good.


My clever friend got us discounted nights at a really nice hotel downtown. Trust me, I wanted to take pictures all over but I really restrained myself.
The above shot was supposed to be, like, The Shining-esque. I dunno.
The mirrors! They decend into infinity!

So I mentioned previously that I was going to see TWO great people while in Toronto (besides Gaga that is). The first night we got there I got to see special person number one: Noel Fielding.

When I found out Noel was doing some stand-up gigs in Toronto I just lost it, it was too good to be true. All that day I was so nervous. I mean, getting to see one of my idols (besides being part of The Mighty Boosh, he really is my favourite stand-up comedian) in person is pretty daunting. Anyways, I ended up seperating from my group to sit alone right at the front. The FRONT, people! I was one foot away from his beautiful drainpipe-clad legs (wow, they were NICE). I'm not going to post any pictures from the gig, mostly because I haven't looked at them myself, so here are some really dark pictures of me in front of the venue. Note the floral green and white blazer. Thrifted for a DOLLAR. Score.

The next day we went to the Ontario Science Museum to check out this special Harry Potter exhibit they had on. It was pretty cool, there were costumes and props and stuff from all the movies, and I got sorted by the sorting hat (Hufflepuff, whaaat). In the evening we went out for dinner and then to see Get Him to the Greek. Have I ever mentioned on the blog how ferociously I love Russell Brand? Well now you know.

What I wore that night. This maxi is one of the amazing Winners finds I was freaking out about over on twitter the other day. Finally a maxi dress that actually touches the ground on me! Well, not when I'm wearing five inch heels, but still.
The next day I spent some time with special person number two, (will post about that next time) and then at night it was Lady Gaga! I didn't take any pictures, but just take my word for it when I say it was amazing. It was a pretty emotional experience for me, but maybe I'll talk about that more if I do an all-Gaga post. Let's talk about what you REALLY want to know about: what I wore.





I decided to go with my Cheap Monday dress that I ordered and had never worn yet. The boots are the infamous Sam Edelman Balenciaga knock-offs, which I ordered off of Victoria Secret OVER two years ago and have never seen outside my closet!! I don't know why I was so afraid to wear them untill now, because they were totally fine walking around in! Six inchers, flip-flops, no diff. And why yes, that is duct tape on my legs.

Kaeleigh looked sooooo so good, guys! At the concert they had this photobooth set up and were taking pictures of people who dressed up for the occasion. We both got our picture taken, and then they posted them the next day on their website. Kae got picked as a "featured Monster" so she's up there on the main page! Here's link to hers and mine, and you can check out the rest from the night here if you're interested. So yes, all in all it was a pretty amazing night.

K-kinda Busy...

ONLY A FEW MORE HOURS UNTILL...

Forever is over

They might be hella out of tune (I'm looking at you ROCHELLE), but dudes.... floor length fringe! They can do no wrong. Hello ladies, may I join your band?? I've already got my own matching wardrobe!

Seriously, let me in.

Please?

Or at the very least, Frankie be my girlfriend already.

*This post is not, I repeat NOT, a plug for you all to buy Wordshaker, which came out on Sunday. Not a plug.*

Filling our bathtubs with t-shirts and 8 x 10's

Can I just say, I want every one of these outfits:

These girls are from South Korean girl band called 2NE1. Not really feeling the song (although I do love me some trashy pop tunes), but giiiiirl you cannot deny that they've got some bangin style.

AND they hook up with Big Bang in some of their tunes! So cheesy, yet so very very good.

Still, these chicks cannot compete with my home girls Puffy Ami Yumi. They are still two of my TOP fav style icons, and most def my top Asian obsession. I mean, I even own their dolls for goodness sake!

The wallpaper that was on my old, clunky PC about 6 years ago. Still awesome

One of my favorite music videos of all time: "Joining a Fanclub"

All 2NE1 pics from here, and all Puffy AmiYumi pics from here.

Everybody knows

Heeeeey y'allz! I'm in Liverpool right now, got here 2 nights ago and I'm leaving already :( Liverpool is SUCH a cool city, I could actually see myself living here. The girls have such fly style, and the guys.... well, they're frikin hot!

Speaking of hot guys, did I mention I saw McFly last night?

Oh yes. That's the stuff.

Twas crazy fun times, although I was by myself. Danny was looking majorly sexy, I think it's his new haircut... and tight jeans. Yum.

During the day I just wandered around the city center and got lost several times. I had no clue what bus to take so I just hopped on the first one I saw and ended up going to eastjesusnowhere! I felt like that episode of Arthur when he falls asleep on the bus on the way to his swimming lessons, and wakes up downtown all lost and scared. Only I didn't get a free burger out of it like he did.

Unfortunatly I don't have a lot of pictures, because pictures with no people in them are just boring. Since I'm by myself, the only pictures I've got are from changeroom photoshoots. What what, Urban Outfitters!

I look strangely drugged out here... or very very tired. I was neither of these.

And incase you were wondering, I AM trying to channel Noel Fielding with them boots. I've got them in gold too....

Obsessive? Me? Never.

Sorry my posts have been so shallow lately, but I have the memory of a goldfish so providing a rich and detailed recolection of something I did a few days ago is just not happening. I can only remember when I see:

1) A hot guy.

2) An outfit that catches my eye.

3) Anything shiny.

I'm off today, back to jolly old London. After that I'm going to France for just 2 days (over my birthday too, July 14th. I'm expecting cyber birthday presents. K thnx). Maybe I'll have some good stuff to share after going to another country? Or maybe I'll just come back with a post about hot French boys and shiny objects I found on the street.

Too much, too little, too late

Soooo, Thursday I did not 1, not 2, but 3 crazy amazing things! I swear, this country is really showing me some mad love, my luck has been off the charts lately! Here is a quick breakdown of the amazing andonlysomewhatfashionrelated things I did that holy day that was July 2nd.

Event number 1: I saw the movie I have been craving for about a year, and have already expressed mad love for: Cherrybomb.

The movie hasn't even been set for release yet, but I got to see an advanced screening for movie distributers and other people I don't care about... all I care about is Rupert Grint and how SUPERSEXYFINE he looked in this movie. Did I mention he's shirtless in about half the film? Yeah, it was sweet.

The movie itself was great, I mean it was seriously one of the most visually amazing films I've ever seen! The colours were so beautiful, very saturated and I feel made the whole film a lot more "hip" and such.... I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm trying to say the movie was pretty lookin'.

I did feel the movie lacked plot and didn't have enough dialogue. I didn't really feel close to the characters, nor did I feel the implied intensity of the love triangle, most likely because of the minimal dialogue between the 3 leads. Don't get me wrong though, I'd gladly see this movie again in heartbeat and I think that all of you would like it... even if you're not a rabid Rupert Grint fan like myself.

Oh yes, and when Rupert wore these in one scene, I died a little inside.

Redheads + Leopard print creepers = Pure love forever.

I saw Cherrybomb at the BFI southbank cinema, which is a freakin amazing place! It's a movie theatre, museum, restaurant, and bookstore all wrapped in one. Heaven I tell you, my new holy land.

Event number 2: Luella sample sale. Read: mad cheap Luella gear!

After the movie I wandered around the Thames river then walked to Oxford street for a bit and stopped in an internet cafe cos I didn't know what else to do. Did I mention I don't have internet in my flat anymore? I'm blogging from a McDonalds this very mo'...

Anyways, so I went into an internet cafe and started clicking through my blogroll, and read about the sample sale on Style Bubble. The sale was on New Bond street, just about 5 minute walk from where I was. Fate? I think so.

Bags where about 50, 75, and 100 pounds, not too bad at all. There were lots of trousers for just 25 pounds! But who knows if they would fit, so I didn't try my luck. T-shirts for 15 pounds, and most of the other tops no more than 50 each. It was pretty awesome.


I was too embarrased to ask if I could take pictures inside, but here's what the que looked like when I came out. When I got there there was no line, I just waltzed right in!

I ended up buying one top for 30 pounds. It's black and has big velvet polka dots, very CDG. I'll take a picture another time, like I said I'm in a McDonalds right now...

Event number 3: After all this excitement (and walking) I was quite tuckered out, but that night I had one tickets to a Fightstar concert so I had to keep going! Now, I'm not the biggest Fightstar fan. I only know about 3 songs. BUT I was/am/always will be a HUGE Busted fan. If you are all up in the BritPop scene like I am (and by all up in it, I mean madly obsessed...) you will know that Busted broke up in 2005 (sad face :( ) and Charlie went off the join another band called Fightstar.

Since the tickets were free I was in no rush to get there early, see the opening act, etc. In other words, I got there in time for the last 3 songs. HA! I'm not what you would call an early bird! I didn't mind though, as long as I got a glimpse of Charlie I would be happy. And I did! I wish I knew more songs cos the concert was really great... it's wierd but I only enjoy shows if I know at least half of the songs. I think I just like to sing along, ha!

So how's that for a random post? Admit it, you love my useless ramblings...

ps- I'm going to the Harry Potter premiere today (July 7th). I'm not sure what to do with myself, I might faint... or puke, from excitement. Cross your fingers that I will be alive tommorow!
