contrastic fantastic

(Yeah, I made up the word "contrastic." I'm pretty linguistic... )

Is it just me, or does it feel like forever since my last post?! Although it's only been a few days, it feels like it's been forever. Forever since I last wore normal clothes, forever since school even began... I always think it's funny how, at the beginning of the school year, it feels like time goes by so slowly. Then, all of a sudden, it's Christmas... March Break... Summer again! I'm always afraid that that's how my life is going to feel - like a continuous cycle.

Speaking of cycles (kind of. Not a really) - fall is coming around! Well, actually, there is no visual proof of this, as the leaves have yet to change and the weather has yet to cool. But (I just realized) my blouse is in fall colours. At last, a sign of the season to come! Hurrah! Hurrah! (I'm obsessed with fall. And signs. Refer to the last post. I think that's pretty much all I talked about.)




(Cardigan - Value Village $7, Blouse - Value Village $3, Shorts - Value Village $3, Belt - Thrifted $1, Tights - DIY, Shoes - Mum's)

Oh snap. Fall colours and a bow-tie? This is everything my blog stands for. (You know. Except, not.) NOTE: I don't even know why I'm referring to this outfit as "fall colours" when it's really not. Fluorescent fall leaves? Come on! But here's a wild thought: What if the world was made out of neon colours? Like in a Dr. Seuss book? I imagine it would be quite fun.


And, is it just me? Or, when you buy things second-hand/ thrifted/ vintage, you kind of expect that no one else will have it? Well, you can imagine my surprise (a few months back) when I was browsing fashion toast's shop and found the EXACT same bracelet that I have! Needless to say, my mouth literally dropped (which, really, isn't that unusual as I am a pretty expressive person...)

(Bracelet - Value Village $3)

This is Daisy. Daisy is a dog. She likes to watch other dogs, eat cheese, and and squirm away when I approach her with open arms and a camera.
Daisy, this is reader. Reader is a seriously awesome human being. Enough said.


I hope you guys have had a good week! I'm really sorry I haven't been able to post. This is on the account of, well, my uniform (which, by the way, I always get in trouble for it. Dear teachers, get a grip. A necklace does not distract from my appearance. Nor does an unbuttoned top-button.) Thanks so much for the comments. Honestly. After a long day, it's so awesome to come home to your nice words! :) I promise I get back to all of you!

Have a good week! Um, also, speaking of weeks.. Hellooooo, New York Fashion Week! Any favourites thus far?! I'm in love with Preen's Spring 2010. I don't know why it's getting hatin'... I want it all! What are you currently lusting over? Do spill!

I'm actually completely obsessed with your dog and the bow on your top. Like im not even kidding, I want them both. lol.

& im actually obsessed with Vivienne Tam's stuff, which I just did "coverage" as in, take screen caps of the live feed and get them up before anyone else blogged about it, and I really love her designs. CR was apparently really good too. I just look at the highlights on Fred Flare's blog, lol.

&yeah, I know what it's like to have like nothing to post about. bleh.

Nope...I AM IN LOVE WITH FALL!! No one else. Obviously, how can we call you the Girl with the Bow Tie if you didn't wear a bow tie? If the world was made of neon colors...I would go crazy! Neon colors are cool but they're wicked bright and blinding! Although I like it for clothing! I'm loving your new style of pictures...outside! Obviously not so new since this isn't the first post where you do it...but now I really am obsessed with it!
check out my trendy blog!

The outfit is ace. I love how you put lots of brights together without making it look gaudy.
And, the new header's fab!

erika sorocco said...

Due to the fact that I adore making up words, I commend you for concocting contrastic - so fun. Possibly as fun as your ensemble. I so need to find a Value Village near me!

NYFW...Vivienne Tam, Jason Wu, Charlotte Ronson...those are just a few of my runway favorites at the moment! :)

Allegra said...

gabriela kane said...

Cute Dog! And my principal freaks when someone shirt isn't tucked in or the cuffs of a sweater isn't folded or when a girl is wearing nail polish (It's torture when I can't where the cute yellow polish have) or when someone forgot their tie (Yes, I have to wear a tie and it's one of the ugliest tie's out there).

Awesome outfit by the way and I haven't been drooling over any collection. I've been drooling over the hot guy in Vampire Diaries which you should watch!

Steam systems are different. Smokers tend to incur more medical costs, to see physicians more often in the outpatient setting, and to be admitted to the hospital more often and for longer periods than non-smokers. Neurotic writers sometimes use the circle to "protect" themselves against the "outside forces" that cause their neurotic f ears and anxieties, and in such cases they draw a circle or circles around their name. It is as easy as ABC.
