Prom Accessories

So, prom is going down two weeks tomorrow and I'm still waiting for my tailor to finish the alterations on my dress. I can't wait for it to be done because I need to start accessorizing! Now, accessories are not my strong suit, I mean there are just so many it's impossible to pick! Anyways, so I've been going through the Polyvore database trying to match some accessories with this dress, which looks somewhat like my own. I need help! I think this looks alright but, all those items are way too out of my price range but, a girl can dream.

Childhood Appreciation Post

As I get older, I keep thinking back about how fast things really go, it's amazing to me that I'm going to graduate in just 50 days. It feels like just yesterday I had my first day of school. Anyways, so I made this little post to symbolize a few of my favourite things when I was a kiddo, back in the 90's. 

1. I was a girl guide for many years so, I loved camping. Girl guide camp and roasting marshmallows around the campfire at my grandma's cottage were the most exciting times back then.

2. Maybe it was because I had a brother but, I loved video games when I was little, I still like to play them every now and then anyways. I always wondered why a Gameboy was called a Gameboy, I wanted a Gamegirl. Yeah, I was all about the girl power.

3. I loved unicorns, I would draw them and read books about them all the time.

4. Dr. Seuss made my childhood.

5. Tamagotchi was so popular, I remember all the kids wearing them on little lanyards.

6. Along with unicorns, I loved tigers. I think I did a school project on them once.

7. Who didn't love the first few Shrek movies?

8. Again the boy in me, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were the bomb.

9. I won a lava lamp at an arcade when I was 12 and I still have it, I wonder if it still works though.

10. Spongebob always played right after school, best end to the day.

11. I was a Pokemon champion. I had so many cards, I used to trade them at school by the playground and I'd play the games. The old school versions were so much better then the weird new ones, the Pokemon were much cuter.

12. Running for the ice-cream truck when I heard the beautiful sound of the bells. 

Badass Ariel

I think this song is hilarious for some reason, it's the Sebastian part I think. I miss my childhood, I love watching Disney cartoons every now and then, The Little Mermaid was my favourite. Oh, and if anyone can tell me who drew that badass picture of Ariel I'd love to know, I found in floating around tumblr and was quite intrigued.

Norah Jones

I'm in love with both this new Norah Jones song and video! She's so beautiful, it's insane and incredibly chic in this video, I think. I didn't expect the video that would accompany as song called Happy Pills would involve cheating by a husband and murder by a wife. My friend Lindsay would love me for posting this, she's a huge fan and made me download a billion Norah Jones songs today as a matter of fact. Anyways, sorry for the lack of posts as of late but, as prom approaches along with final tests for class I am becoming extremely busy and my mind in all over the place. I still need to find the perfect prom clutch for goodness sake! I can't wait for the tailor to finish the alterations on my Valentino dress, can't wait to have it hanging up in my closet again. 

Project Glasses

Just wanted to share these two videos with you guys. They're both about this Google idea called "Project Glasses" which is basically having a pair of glasses work as a smart phone. I actually think it's pretty cool although the thought of being hooked into a computer all day is kind of freaky. The first video is the official video about Project Glasses, while the second one is a parody about how it might be dangerous to wear the glasses and be distracted by all the little icons popping up. I just thought they were interesting so, give them a watch if you'd like! 

P.S. The song in the first video is one of my favourites, Olu by Big Bank Dank featuring Blue Scholars.

Passion for Fashion

1. I am in love with arrows these days, I would love this bracelet or I might get these earrings from Etsy.

2. It's a skull that you wear in your hair, sums it up right there.

3. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect pleated maxi skirt that is semi-affordable...anyone have any suggestions?

4. Velvet shoes are magnificent.

5. Denim shorts, quite an important summer essential.

6. I need to find my old Ray Bans! I may buy a pair in tortoise shell though, regardless of whether or not I find my old ones.

7. Perfect way for me to wear the new denim shirt I bought, it actually looks just the same as the one Selena Gomez is wearing in this picture.

8. Pretty sure this is a look from Coachella. I'm still on the hunt for a denim vest like this, I'm getting close to cutting the sleeves off of one of my jackets in my desperation.

9. I just think this sweater is adorable.

10. Gotta love the patterned pants thing.

11. Simple yet effective. She's rocking the watch that I want as well. 

P.S. Sloth Money Apparel update! We've done a ton of new designs, spreading from tanks into crew neck sweatshirts and an adorable mustache t-shirt, from American Apparel, as well! So please check out Sloth Money!

Church Sale Goodies

Just three of the many beautiful little trinkets I purchased at the annual church sale that takes place down the road from my house. I'm pretty sure the watch and the necklace were just three dollar while the beaded change purse was five dollars, since it was in the antiques section. Needless to say, I scored. Along with these lovely accessories, I bought about eight different button-up shirts (I'll be wearing them non-stop now), a pair of hilarious floral bloomers, a neon fanny pack and two head bands. All in all, a very successful year at the sale! 

Childish

Getting so excited for summer because tomorrow I'll be purchasing my ticket for a Childish Gambino concert that's going down in July! So pumped! I love this guy, he's so funny on the show Community and I love the Adele remix. Enjoy!
P.S. The concert in Toronto was actually supposed to be happening sometime earlier at the Sound Academy but, apparently Gambino fractured his foot while he was in Tampa, Florida. I hope he feels better but, not gonna lie and say I wasn't happy that it got postponed because now I get to go. Concerts are always better outside in the summer any how!

New Beat

Shade London

Another brand I've found in the tumblr world is Shade, a 90's sportswear inspired company based out of London, England. It's a really relaxed brand with basic sweatshirts, tanks and t-shirts all with their super cool logo printed right across the chest. I'm really into the Gradient Fade Sweatshirts, in either pink or blue. Anyways, here is their official online shop and their tumblr.
