Sing Your Own Song

IMG_3519IMG_3502 IMG_3520 IMG_3538 IMG_3547

The Tuesday back after the holidays is the worst….you have to adjust to the work week once again and its like that Monday off was just a little teaser :P…..but the good news is that I will be soon going on my first business trip…it has just been confirmed and we will be flying out to Oregon in a few weeks…really excited for that! When I work at something I put everything into that…when I'm in school its my books, texts, tests etc and at work its..my work…actually I have a little bit of “studying” I have to do right about now for tomorrow :P….I bought this sarong/belly dancing piece last week for $10….black for me and violet for the mama,…the intentions were to use it with my black bikini this past weekend at the cottage…BUT I found that it is also an interesting piece to incorporate into my daily wardrobe ;)… I like using it as a jumbo necklace …it jingles as I walk or just over plain black jeans and a black tee…try it out…you might like it!

As you can see…I am still also madly in love with these Zara studded lovers that pushed their way into my life..really, I wasn't supposed to buy them …but my girl Carina and I decided that if I didn't…if she didn't…then we would grossly and intensely regret it….yes, this dramatization is completely necessary…:P

Later on I will be putting on this mask while I do some work and hopefully paint my nails if I have some time …I bought two new L'Oreal colours since they were having a sale at Shoppers Drug Mart (3$ I think?). I really need to try something other than the neon pink I have been addicted to….the white polish is fine tip to do little designs..why pay when you can do it yourself ;)

Dear, this outfit is pure perfection and makes me miss fall already!

Brilliant idea- using the sarong around your neck. It looks so cool. and the shoes were a must buy, you would have regretted leaving them in the store. The shoes and the necklace make the whole outfit waaawaaarooomm.

Will definitely be purchasing a similar scarf now... Such a great idea! I actually bought a coin belt meant for belly dancing and wear it as a super long necklace - but I really love the look of the scarf! So creative!

Even with the bribe of a giveaway you're not winning the elle contest are you. All you want is for everyone to get you the $750 dollors and you'll gave away some of your old clothes please as if. Don't worry I'll be voting for Marta just to make sure you don't win ;-)

Ashleigh (the best one)

the good one? anon you are so jealous it hurts
This is her blog and she does not have to give ANYTHING away, and if you know anything, she appreciates vintage

guess you are just another one of those spoiled LA brats

Anonymous said...

Anon? Don't know who you are so don't care. I only get jealous of people that aren't fake. The outfit on Elle is a load of shit and we all know it, you just won't admit it cos she's offering a giveaway.
