happy holidays

layout i made using this tutorial.
I'm so late, I know.
I haven't been blogging lately becuase I recently became obsessed with trying to grow my hair.

Yes, it's hard. Cause I'm black, but that doesn't mean I can't do it. I've become so high maintenance since I started, it's hilarious. Anywhoo, wish me luck! It's already grown 1/2 an inch!

Oh, before I forget. Here's some stuff I got. Mostly from H&M, my parents/friends/family know I love me some H&M :)

It's pretty crazy sometimes but this girl has some dope style. Very inspirational.

happy.

I was looking around my closet (shared with my brother) and I found my brother's old blazer. I decided to take some pictures with a dress I got in June from Off the Wall.



Have a good week!

i'm sucha, sucha lady..

This is a short outfit post, and what's been going on lately.



wearing: prada bag from value village, vintage lace tank, SWS moto jacket, almost famous jeans 
I went shoe shopping with my mom (ended buying nada though). After that I went to the doctor cause I've been having the worst sore throat ever, I found out it was strept throat (I'm not sure how you spell it, haha). This has been the 6th time I've had it? The doctor said that I may/should take my tonsils out. I guessed they're unusually large, which is why I keep getting sore throats.

I really don't want to  have my tonsils taken out, I've never been in surgery before, and I intend to keep it that way. But then I hear about being able to eat nothing but icecream and think that it wouldn't be that bad. Then there's the fact that I'm a workaholic. And I'd hate to have to stay in bed instead of going to school, I hate being behind in school, it's way too stressful.

In other news, I'm out of money. AHH. I need to start working again, I'm going to try applying at H&M. I'd love working there, it's one of my favourite clothing stores. I lost an envelope full of my resumes though and I really don't want to type up a new one. I saved one so hopefully I'll be able to email it to myself.
Eeneeways, I hope everybody is having a great weekend so far! The weather here is greaat (a bit of sarcasm there).

PS: Have you guys heard any of the Rihanna songs yet? I love Russian Roulette, her best yet. In my opinion.

stay gold, ponyboy

all jewelry from ghana
My mom gave me these, no idea why. But it's nice of her. She has 3 baskets full of random jewelry so it makes sense. I'm thinking of giving her a jewelry stand or box for Christmas, because she needs it. Very much haha. If I get her one it's probably going to be from Urban Outfitters.

Well that's all I wanted to post, off to do some homework now. Have a happy Sunday!

no where to go.

pictures via flickr
I saw some photos on aritzia and decided to look at Cari Ann Wayman's (yyellowbird) photos on Flickr. She has awesome photography. You should check it out. I reaaallly need a new camera... if I only had the moonneey.

On another note, I didn't do much today. Just made muffins with my siblings, watched 48 hours hard evidence and listen to "tik tok" the whole day. Have you heard it? It's by Ke$ha, I think the same girl who was  featured in that Flo Rida song. Though she sounds really different.

Anyways, thats what I did today. I took out my weave yesterday (if you didnt know yes - i did have a weave) and my hair is nappier than nappy. It's rediculous. But I missed having my natural hair. Although it hurts when my mom even touches it with her hands, I missed it. I'm thinking about relaxing it one last time and then trying to let it grow, if it ever will. If it's dead - which I'm pretty sure it is. I'm going to have to chop it all off. My mom won't let me though. And I have no idea why. It's pretty annoying.
So..tomorrow's my homework day. Joy. I have a speech to do about confederation in Canada. I hate public speaking. My face gets all hot and I start forgetting my words and replace them with "ummss" and "likes". This should be good.

It was really windy today. But warm. I loved it, I hope it's the same tomorrow.

Mondays: Just Make it Work

Goodness I hate mondays. It ended up raining while we were playing football in my P.E. class. Just perfect.
Anyways, I had a spanish project finished today and it featured a blogger I admire a lot. Delmy Rivera of Fashion Bananas, the assignment was to describe 2 people who you think are inspirational and yourself. I picked Rihanna and Delmy, ha. So this is what Delmy's side looked like since - she wanted a picture:




I would've taken more but I had to get to school. And my teacher has it now so I can't take a picture of the whole thing now. Ha. I kind of rushed, so I don't expect to get a good mark. I hope you liked the drawing Delmy!



wearing: h&m divided tank, random tube top as a skirt, urban outfitters beanie and american eagle stockings

I hope everybody had a happy Halloween!

saturday morning.

 

wearing: streetwearsociety cardigan, vintage slip and american apparel socks.

I'm so incredibally full from the all you can eat lunch I had with friends this afternoon. Haha, I even skipped dinner. I'll add the photos tomorrow.

budgets are the most annoying things ever.

Finally went to XXI - bummer. There was way too many people so I ended up not buying anything. Ugh. I hate being so indecisive, it's ridiculously annoying.

I only ended up buying a cardigan and AA thigh-highs, and American Eagle tights. Lace and opaque.

Oh and I watched the stepfather too. It was bad, very bad. It wasn't even scary. He is a crazy mofo though.

I didn't find anything to where either, lmao. I'm so bad at knowing what I want.

why can't you talk about the weather like normal girls?

^ Quote from the movie "Miss Potter" that we watched during social studies. Meaning today was a bore. When I got home my mom bought me boots. Which I needed, desprately:





Ugh, I've gotta sweep my room. Lmao.

I don't know how I feel about them, I don't like the fact that they're soo poofy and fluffy but they're soo soft and comfortble. And they look cute on my feet so, I guess it's okay. I think I'm going to cut the pom-poms off though.

I'm going to a friend's (Carla's) birthday party on Saturday, we're going for dinner at a korean all you can eat restaurant. I've been eating a lot of asian cousine lately. I hope I don't get sick, ha. I'm not used to eating it so much. And when I did, I'd end up with the stomach flu. Pretty annoying cause I like it so much. But anyways, I'm wanting to find a dress on Friday at F21 :). So I'm excited.

The next week is our Halloween dance. I don't think I'm going, not in the mood to stress over what costume to wear, etc. I wanted to be MJ or a nerd. Hardd decision if you ask me.

What is everybody else planning to be? I'd like to know :)

11.23.09 ♥

"the wait is ova"
Rihanna's fourth album
yet another thing to look forward too :)

so baby don't worry, you won't be lonely ..

Skating was.. awesome. I guess, haha. Clearly I had no idea what I was doing but I didn't fall! Nobody did, lmao. Of coarse I couldn't stand up right on my own but I still think the whole thing was success



First, we went for sushi at this place called Tentatsu. Really good service.



Birthday girl on my right :)


wore: almost famous jeans, random tank, stitches moto jacket, aldo owl necklace

So sushi, skating, and a stewie icecream cake = epic night, I had too much fun, haha.
