2009!!

Alright, so happy 2009 (in however many hours that is) everyone! I'm super pumped for tonight, it'll be a blast.

I appreciate all of your input and after alot of consideration I have decided on outfit C. I think it'll be the best one because it's practical enough that I can wear it all evening. I also love that it has really big pockets so that i can keep my camera and my phone with me at all times :). I think I may wear different shoes though.. I'm still deciding there.


So yesterday was quite an adventure if I do say so myself! A few of my friends and I decided to go shopping on seventeenth ave, but we had to take the bus and the c-train to get there. Now, I'll be completely honest; I am horrible at using public transit. Don't get me wrong, I use it everyday to get to school, but that's only two buses that I need to know the routes for and their some pretty main ones. There is also the problem of me only really taking the c-train about 5 times a year because I never really need to. So knowing all this I'm sure you can imagine how it all turned out. We made it from my friends house to the train station okay, and all was going well until we got of a few stops too early. It wasn't that big of a deal though because we were already downtown and the next stop was only about two blocks away. There was also the problem of the temperature. You'd think that three girls who have lived in Calgary their whole lives would know how to dress for the weather, but no. So we didn't really want to wait at a bus stop and take the bus the ten blocks over we had to go. So we decided it would be a fantastic idea to walk there using the +15's, or at least part of the way. So, +15's are pathways connecting a bunch of the main buildings in downtown. That was all a hackshow and a half, but eventually we did make it to 11 ave using those and we knew how to get to seventeenth from there, but it was all quite silly.
Here's some pictures from our adventure:

Have a great new years eve everybody!!

So, I've been contemplating what to wear for new years eve, and I've narrowed it down to four choices. Let's be honest, I'm going to have a terrible time deciding on just one. I'm going to need your help!!
I'd really love your feedback! Please be honest. Let me know if I hit it right on the nose, or if I missed the mark all together. Okay, ready set, critique!!

Did everyone have a good holiday?

Okay, just a quickie today.
I'm super pumped about new years eve :). I've got a party all lined up and everything! The one problem is; I have no idea what I'm going to wear. Should I just go casual with jeans a t-shirt, and a sweater, or should I fancy it up a bit and wear a cute dress?
Feedback, please!!!

shirt (plaid) - thrifted old navy, shirt (pink) - jacob, jeans -F21, necklace - aldo
oh, I'm drinking coolaid btw. I just figured I'd clear that up..

ps - we were being snowmen :)

I Feel Like a Flying Squirrel

So right now I'm just chillin at home, and watching BBC news. The traffic was ridiculous when my mom tried to drive me to school today, so she turned around and came home. I swear, when it snows some people just forget how to drive, haha. BUT, it has been snowing which I'm very excited about. I'm pretty pumped to get out skiing again, although I decided that I didn't want to race this year, so instead I've decided I'm going to coach little kids :). How fun will that be?! Haha, I'm very excited though. I love little kids; they're so funny.

So I've got a few outfits for you today. Enjoy!

blaser - divine, shirt - old navy, jeans - forever 21 (I think, they're really old),
belt - winners, necklace - aldo accessories

wow, I look pretty scary here.. haha

jacket - divine

dress - divine, blaser - divine,
necklace - aldo accessories, shoes - payless

sweatshirt - hanes, jeans - forever 21,

I want new shoes..

I really love the show What Not to Wear, I'm watching it right now and the woman on it is 41 and probably in the best shape I have ever seen a 41 year-old is in. Like, wow. She found a really pretty dress that had a tighter top, and then flowed out from under the bust. It had a very pretty floral print, and now I really want one like it lol.

So on tuesday I was at the Rise Against concert, and it was amazing. They played a few songs from their new album. So because I enjoyed it so much, I bought the new album on itunes the next day. I'm already in love with the two songs hero of war, and savior. If you guys are into that kind of music you should definitely check it out.

So, I really want to find some cute dresses for the holidays, even though I probably won't be at any parties, haha. I was just looking at teenvogue.com and their ten best dressed for november, and I really liked almost all of the looks, but I absolutely fell in love with this one:

Maria Sharapova wore this to the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York on November seventeenth. It's a Richard Chai. I love it to pieces.

Cloning.

I realize that cloning is a subject that most people don’t pay too much attention to, but as I was reading an article about it all I could think about was how completely pointless it all was. Don’t we already have overpopulation issues as it is? I agree that it is very interesting, but I feel that the people who are studying this and spending so much time trying to clone things are wasting their time and money. They are all obviously very intelligent, but wouldn’t it make more sense to put their genius towards coming up with something useful? For example; they could put their biology smarts toward solving the food shortage crisis around the world. I mean come on, there are people out there who can’t afford to feed their families, some don’t even have access to clean water, and these scientists are spending all this money on trying to clone a monkey. Priorities people!! Food for the starving people in third world countries, or asexual reproduction in monkeys; to me, it’s a no-brainer. Okay, well, there’s my rant for the day. I also apologize for any incorrect facts or wording. 

So, right now I’m pretty much just trying to waste time here at school. I actually have been doing a bit of work, but mostly I’ve been reading the news on BBC, and looking up stuff on Wikipedia. I'm going to a concert tonight, but I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow.

Until then, I'll be pondering about the subject of what I'm going to wear to holiday parties this year. I will report back to you with what I've discovered. 

I'm looking for something floral

So, my internet hasn't been working for the past few days and that's why I haven't been able to post. Last week I went down to seventeenth ave again, and again I went into Divine, which I'm sure you've figured out by now is my favorite store pretty much ever. Haha :). This time I got a vest, and two sweaters. When one of the girls who worked there asked me if I was looking for anything in particular; I said that I was in the mood for something floral, and she pulls out this adorable cropped cardigan. It's cream colored and has little roses all over it, which is a completely different kind of floral I was thinking of, but I was surprised at how much I loved it. These outfits are from the past few days:












I'm sorry but I am way too lazy to write where I got all that stuff, but if you want to know about any of the pieces just ask me. And I realize that some of these pictures make me look completely awful, but they showed the outfit well.

Our coal may only last us another 216 years you know?

I don't know how many of you are studying physics in science ten right now, but that's what I'm working on. Today I was reading the section on efficiency and energy consumption, and I was appalled at how inefficient a lot of things are. I really became aware of how much energy we do waste, and how the kinds of energy we use are not very good for the environment, and aren't renewable. Here in Alberta, we are really bad, because we produce so many fossil fuels, that's what a majority of people use as their source of energy. I completely understand that fossil fuels are cheaper than things like hydro-electric dams, and nuclear power plants, but by people and companies using a method called cogeneration, which is defined as the process of using waste energy from one process to power a second process.

Okay, well, I don't really know what my point is, but I definitely am going to try and be more conscious of how I use energy, and waste it.

Soooo, here's todays outfit:

scarf - american eagle, sweater - zellers, dress - divine,
shoes - rampage, tights - fruit of the loom

belt - layfayette, jacket - aeropostale, rest same as above

same as above.

same as above

This is definitely my new favorite dress :)

I'm such a hard worker

I'm very happy with myself today because I worked really hard at school today, and I think I got alot done. I even did homework when I got home!! I'm pretty sure that this was the only the third time I've done homework all year, haha. Oh boy.

So today I wore a vest that I had made out of a sweater that I got at a garage sale a few years ago. I don't think that I ever wore the sweater, so then the other day I saw it in my closet, and said to myself: "that could be a cute vest, hmmm" . So I cut off the sleeves and the collar, and voila! I think it's got a cute sort of boho look. Tell me what you think:

vest - thrifted, jeans - moto, shirt - old navy,
necklace - aldo accesories, belt - winners, boots - mother

I was trying to find different places in my backyard were I could get my full outfit.

I wanted to make sure you could see my boots, but I ended up looking like a retard! lol

ps - I love COMMENTS :D

I didn't mean to keep you waiting :(

Alright, I'm guilty. I've been neglecting my blog, and I'm super sorry!
So, lately I've mostly been trying to get alot of school work done, and not much else. I have however been able to do a little bit of shopping. About two weeks ago I skipped the afternoon school and went to see some of my friends who go to school on seventeenth ave, but I was there a little bit early so I went across the street to divine. I love that place. Oh man. Haha, so I bought two dresses and a sweater. Then, I went to The Rocket, which is a sweet store where they do customized shirts, among other things, and I got a extra long t-shirt that had a picture of the earth with a bunch of factories, and it said: "This is Why I'm Hot." I thought it was pretty sweet :),
take a look:

I love tree-hugger shirts :)
shirt - The Rocket, sweater - Zara

Yes, I do know that tights don't count as pants.
shirt - The Rocket, belt - winners, necklace - aldo accessories, watch - swiss military, tights - lululemon

sweater - divine, tights - lululemon

dress - divine, belt - lafayette

(same as previous)

dress - divine, hat - burton

ps - sorry about the poor quality of the pictures, I couldn't find my camera so i had to use my phone :(
