Rainy Day

Rain Coat - Thrifted / Button up - Vintage Levis / Hat - Dollar store / Necklace - Thrifted
Normal Song - Perfume Genius

What was meant to be a productive day took a vicious turn for the worst when I opened my blind this morning. Nothing calls for a stay-in-bed-and-only-watch-episodes-of-Girls kind of day like a pure gray sky. Once I eventually peeled my lazy ass out of bed (4 hours after waking up, I should add) I decided it was the perfect opportunity to wear this rain coat I thifted a few months back. Part raver, part garbage bag, part, dare I say it, practical. Worn with what I think is my new favorite button up and this incredible triple ring necklace. The necklace is truly one of those thrift finds you really wonder "Who owned this before and why the hell did they get rid of it?!"

For now I think I'll retire back into my bed. On your way out, you should prrrrobably head over to Refinery 29 and check out their post titled "6 Canadian Style Bloggers You Need To Know Now." I'll give you a hint why.. there may be a certain male style blogger you recognize. ;)

I wear eyewear

Here comes the typical "sorry I haven't blogged in so long" speech. SORRY I HAVEN'T BLOGGED IN SO LONG!!! I actually didn't realize how long it was until tonight. Jeez. I could say I was really busy but that would be a lie. I've been moderately busy but in some what of a slum. I think it has to do with the fact that my room is so messy and it's getting to the end of winter. I'm just ready for some spring cleaning and some spring weather. Something to revive my inspiration pulse because fashion week hasn't really but cutting it for me yet. Can't wait for the Jeremy Scott show tomorrow, though!!

Anywho I threw together a little video tonight. I have a box full of sunglasses and I usually forget to wear most of them. So, here is a quick video of 20 pairs of glasses :)

And just as I thought I was getting over studs, Gaga had to step out with this creation

My fingers hurt just THINKING about trying to stud that. OUCH. Would be soooo worth it, though. That thing is beauuutiful.

Also if you guys have a minute you should check out the new issue of Vinyl & Vodka. It's got the cutest valentines day themed photoshoot and a great interview with HEALTH. Click the cover to read it or visit the blog at vinylandvodka.com.

New Years Resolutions (two weeks late)

One of my new years resolutions should have been to stop procrastinating, but it not this year. Maybe next... ha. Anyhow, I did come up with my top 3 list of things I would like to accomplish in 2009. I know it's wrong to start with a bad attitude but I don't really know if I'll keep up. Here's hoping!

I saw this editorial and it got me thinking. It's basically this dude on what seems to be a solo vacation. It had me thinking, I really would like to travel alone. Maybe meet up with someone along the way, maybe go with just one other person, but I think it would be amazingly fulfilling to take a trip alone. I feel like I would get to know myself better (Oh God I'm getting Oprah on you guys) Reguardless, travel is in the agenda for 2009 (solo or not)

Ah, yes. Elementary school level french isn't cutting it for me. I downloaded Rosetta Stone as a first step in this journey. I may as well be doing something productive while sitting in front of this computer. Also I want that whole exact same outfit.

This one is tough. I don't know if I can actually do it... I love me some Big Macs. A friend of mine had a good system. Fast food only on weekends. Seems simple enough, right? This one is going to take serious commitment, though. No cheating!

Things that didn't make the cut:

• Take more photos
• Read more books (other than the Twilight series)
• Decide what the hell I'm doing with my life
• Get my license (I still probably will this year)
  

What were your new years resolutions? Think you'll stick with them?
