Changes





So basically i cut my hair. I'm pretty proud of myself because im usually an extremely indecisive person, cutting my hair by myself on impulse was a big step. My old hair was so utterly mundane. Nothing to it...just straight and side parted. BORING. I actually enjoy my hair quite a bit but don't think i'm going do anything too drastic for a while.

The.Perfect.Checkered.Crush























Shirt-aritzia, Skirt-Club Monaco, Shoes-Sam Edelman
Feeling completely inspired by the Marc by Marc Jacobs (he is a genius) Fall collection; over the weekend I bought the must adorable high waisted checkered skirt from Club monaco. Do you believe in love at first sight? Because I do now. It has pockets! and anybody who knows me knows that I do adore pockets. I don't usually have a lot of color in my pallet but this skirt really does brighten up my day. The best part about this particular purchase is that it was on sale for 99$. Although that may not sound like that great of a deal, for Club Monaco, it is!
P.S: sorry about the quality of the pictures. Need to get my own camera SOON! ( and Siobhan, thank you soo much for lending me yours) If anyone has any suggestions as to where I could get a good camera for a decent price? PLEASE tell me.

Welcome to my Wonderland.

















One of my favorite photoshoots by Annie Leboivitz. She really does inspire me, her photographs are so beautifully taken but they're not quite your typical fashion spread, there's something beneath the photograph. I did think that it was quite appropriate because after all, my name is Alice. I do have to admit, I didn't quite like the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland but then again, I'm not quite a fan of Disney. Although I do find that there just something quirky and twisted about Alice in Wonderland that intrigues me. Well....Lewis Carol was on drugs when writing the novel.

marry me?





I am in awe over these 2 gorgeous pairs of shoes. The black pair are made from pony hair but unfortunately way out of my budget and as for the beige pair, I do believe they are more expensive(around 1000$) I've decided to save up at least that much so that I can afford at least one of these shoes. I'm not even joking but I would marry these shoes if I could.

Wildflower.





blazer: club Monaco, jeans: Jacob, shirt-Forever21

In a weird mood today; a little reckless even persay...whimsy? Unfortuatly school and work seem to be all I do these days. Jeeze. Planning on pulling an all-nighter tonight to work on my 3-panel painting. Ugh. I guess that means tons of instant coffee. Once my paintings finished, i promise that i will dedicate a post to it. After all, I have spent the last 3 months of my life working on it.

Frolicking Fringe.





Dress: Victoire, Shoes:Guess, Sunglasses: Milk.

Perhaps one of my most prized possessions; an AA dress with fringe sewn on the front, found from a boutique called Victoire. It's pretty funky isn't it? I love twirling about and seeing the fringe fly around me. Got up at 6: 30 this morning to go around my school taking pictures with a dear friend, Julia. Lucky us, the weather was great. (for Ottawa at least)

Crown of Love






Thought I'd share a bit of my halloween with everyone. After many days of thought and debate, i finally decided on a costume. Although not too original, I did think it was quite pretty. The French connection dress i wore was found collecting dust at the back of my closet. I love the band of gold sequins and it's goddess like style. Plucked the vine from my mother's awful plants and voila: a greek god is born.
