Urban Walls

Once upon a time, a long time ago, I said I'd post pictures of my room on this blog. And now, I am doing what I promised. But because my room is so messy, I'm only showing you a few corners. And my closet wall, because Urban Walls sent me these ridiculously neat wall decals which I managed to put together allllll by myself (big kid stuff). Fun fact, Urban Walls also has some vinyl chalkboards you can buy for your own rooms--In case you ever wanted a chalkboard for a wall (let's be honest, who hasn't?). These decals are a quick and easy way to liven up any space, so if you're too lazy to paint your wall (which I would be), Urban Walls decals are a greeaaat and fun-tastic alternative.

Queen of Disaster

Just had a major *inspo* attack, thanks to Tumblr, Wolf Cub, and Love More. Not being able to do anything for the past two weeks has gotten me more motivated than ever to be productive and not boring. But alas, that is all I can be at the moment. So bear with me folks. My stitches are out tomorrow and hopefully I will be crutch-free by the end of this week.

KEEP IT COOL. And listen to some Lana Del Rey while you're at it.

Summer, take us home

My love for festivals springs for two places: 1) my obsession with music, and 2) my yearning for heat after having experienced a 6 month winter. So when I do witness some +15 degree Celcius weather in Edmonton, I take the chance to daydream about going to Sasquatch... but not really because that just gets depressing. Here's a festival idea presented by Lookbook.nu x Gap Styld.by collaboration featuring this ridiculously comfortable summer dress and a bright orange bag to hold all your essentials (not to mention water bottles) that you'll need to survive this summer. You can also check out this look on Styld.by!

PS: Sorry for the mix up earlier. Just pretend that you didn't see my previous look so that it's a surprise next time it's up on my blog. I hope you guys will still love me unconditionally.

Down by the river

I had my ACL reconstruction surgery last Monday, followed by a nauseous 8 hours and then a week of lying down and crutch-walking and doing nothing and forgetting about this blog. And now? I'm good as new! Just kidding. I'm still on crutches. But it's all okay, because I still have some photos lined up to be posted from before when I hadn't involuntarily adopted the gimp life yet.

Also, I just want to say a quick thank you to everyone who took the time out of their day to come by and say hi at the Edmonton Blogger Sale yesterday! Seeing both old and new faces made the post-sale sore knee 100% worth it. We'll be doing another one hopefully in the fall, so keep an eye out for that if you couldn't make it to this one!

PS: A majority of the clothing not sold during this event was donated to Loved. - a fashion bargain event. This is an awesome event (set up by Alison Altena) where all monetary proceeds from donated items will be directed towards iHuman Youth Society. If you're interested in learning more or attending, I highly recommend you check out the Facebook event here.

PPS: You should probably check out Let Them Stare, which is a unique and neat-O label designed by Anastasia Gelfman Silis. She designs and models her own pieces, and even better--gives them away! See how she styled the dress I'm wearing below here.

Okay, I'm done. For real.

Comic Con 2013

Okay, I promised some Calgary Comic Con related photos and what not, so here they are. I was fortunate enough to attend with my brother and cousins (including the other half of this blog, Kurtis), and also fortunate enough to take (ridiculously overpriced but 100% worth it) photos with some of my favourite actors and see some pretty neat costumes. Not to mention I made 2 second eye contact with John Rhys-Davies while he was riding in a golf cart. And saw Dizzy and Johnny Rico from the critically acclaimed 90s movie StarShip Troopers (it's a  personal favourite). Oh, and my brother had his 15 seconds of fame with his self-made Minecraft zombie costume. Want another fun fact? Of course you do. I bought a Totoro fluffy onesie. Aaaand when the fire alarm in our building went off, guess who was standing on the sidewalk at 7 AM with a Totoro onesie on while firemen scoured the building? Me. 

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being "Disneyland fun", I'd say the Calgary Comic Con was an 11. In other words, if you are ever contemplating going, you should probably go. There's nothing better than geeking out with a bunch of cool people in cool costumes doing cool things like LARP and playing Quidditch.
