We went to the mall today at 4pm to pick up birthday gifts for my friend's birthday tomorrow (awesome gifts, btw!) and we HAD to stop at H&M. We had a really good time, and stayed until 8:30pm. We saw and talked to a lot of people (and made new friends!). Iwa - it was awesome. :)

Ridiculous but good.
My friends are silly, and sometimes a little bit space cadet if you know what I mean, but they're AWESOME and I LOVE them. Cue photobooth pictures and Chanel fw09-esque H&M dress (and other H&M dresses).

now I just need a yellow brick road.
I FOUND MY CAMERA. Unfortunately, I accidentally wiped all the files, so I have none of my old pictures but, life sucks, what are you gonna do right?
I know it's easy, but decipher THIS Halloween costume.
Also, I have mastered self French braiding. It's quite convenient!

leaving the world better then we find it - dolphin edition
Please read!
So you will soon realize this blog is not just a fashion blog, and I am a very globally aware person. This will be the first of many posts to come regarding world issues such as hunger, medical aid, animal protection, etc.
I just got home from seeing an AMAZING film at my city's Film Festival called "The Cove". IT is about the dolphin slaughter in Japan, where 23 000 dolphins are getting killed each year, and (only some) of the meat is used as meat for people to eat. The problem, in addition to the useless slaughter, is that the meat contains extremely high levels of mercury, and that it is often advertised as other meat but isn't. These fishermen are making a lot of money from this slaughter. They capture the dolphins, and some are chosen to be sent to live in captivity in places such as Marineland, Sea World, but as said, the rest are murdered. A man named Richard O'Barry is trying to put a stop to this.
It is all based in this town of Taiji, Japan. The rest of Japan, let alone the whole world, have no idea this is happening, honestly. O'Barry and his team are putting the word out there, speaking out against it.
For more information visit the Sea Sheppard website or The Take Part: The Cove website or Save Japan Dolphins website.
I understand if this isn't your cause, but I highly encourage you to watch the trailer. I also think it's important you find a cause. Tavi has done so with her Darfur stuff, and I've been doing poverty-related things with school for a few years now with my school. Even if you don't have money to put out, you can still volunteer your time.
That's all for tonight, loves. <3

i hate you but i love you but i hate that i love you.
I don't like this picture.
I've had so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, (not even hyperbolizing, if that's a word) homework latetly. I have to do some right after this. I can't believe how much work I've got! But oh well. Today I needed something that I could change really quickly in, et viola! I was wearing my I <3 NY shirt underneath, but this was taken after volleyball at school outside my house, and I kept my volleyball shirt on. I straightened my hair today, but it didn't stay completely straight. It never does, I shouldn't be surprised.
The weather today was surprisingly really nice. Sunny but cool, it's was niiiiice. (Oh yay multiple iiiiiiiii's look trippy :D).
Where The Wild Things Are movie poster, much? Minus the van in the background.
Useless writing, blah blah, I found this these three amazing products at Bath and Body Works the other day - a "rainkissed leaves" perfume, a pomagrante perfume (SERIOUSLY THE BEST EVER), and this orange peel hand cream that immediately wakes you up. I didn't buy any of it, but I would have if I had more money D:.
SPEAKING OF REGRETS, a month or so ago, when I went to Kensington Market in Toronto, I saw this GORGEOUS beige leather duffel bag, old but in good condition, with a map of Paris on it. It wasn't even expensive! I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I DIDN'T BUY IT AND I SWEAR I THINK ABOUT THAT BAG EVERY SINGLE DAY. I must track it down.
I don't even know what I'm doing in this photo; or what I'm looking at.
I'm considering doing a video post soon. Veronica from Raspberry and Red posted one recently, and I loove love looove making videos. Stay tuned.
Also, I've got a 16gb black iPod Touch for sale, only a few months old, for sale. E-mail me if you are interested or have any questions about it!
FREE HUGS.

wake up, eat & drink/shower, get dressed, school, eat, school, eat, school, be social, eat & drink, homework, eat & drink, tv, eat & drink, sleep.
My life right now: sports, school, sports, shopping, sports, a social life, sports, blogging, sports, and trying to sleep.
One of my favourite (however, expensive for me) stores downtown had a major sale on today. I tried on two pairs of pants (one a strange, dark, Halloweeny crocodile print and one brown, edgy, vertically striped pants, both which were too big unfortunately. And a GORGEOUS floor-length baby pink (who would've guessed a year ago that I'd be wearing a floor length bubblegum baby pink dress and I wouldn't be complaining or look like I was in pain). I had no reason to by the dress though, so I passed.

It's funny how in stores, big and small, I treat the clothing with so much care and respect. I handle them delicately and never let them touch the ground. You wouldn't be able to tell from the floor of my room, which goes (horizontally) comme ca:
clothesmirrorclotheschairclothesbedwithclothesonitclotheswall.
I'm not sure why, but lately I've been dressing very grungey. It's not like it's a bad thing, but it is a thing I've noticed. Maybe because it (usually) requires less effort then other styles, or maybe that's just how I am right now.
Fall Out Boy has been stuck in my head all day. I actually like their lyrics, there's a lot more depth in their lyrics if you look, and I like that. Them and the Black Kids.
OUTFIT: shirt - friend's, hat - h&m, skirt - random/unknown, tights - no nameish brand more random/unknown, ring on necklace - found in my grandmother's old dresser, k on necklace - gift, soccer ball necklace - gift, dove necklace - f21 (hooray cheap jewellery!).

anybody wanna buy an ipod touch? AND I'M GONNA MISS MY SOLENE - MY GRAND POISSON.
Oh feels WEIRD. I haven't posted an actual outfit post in what feels like FOREVER. But I'm here now.
My French Exchange partner, Solene, is leaving today. We take her to the airport in an hour. There were two other French girls (both partners of my friends) and one Swiss boy. I loved them all so much, we had so much fun! All the girls were crying except me...I'm sort of a stone fox (VIRGIN SUICIDES REFERENCE:D) when it comes to things like this - saying goodbye, it's not that I'm not sad or whatever, but I just don't really cry. I think when we go to the airport, however, I'm probably gonna cry. I'm happy I get to go to France in February 2010 though. :)

Anyways, this was yesterday's Thanksgiving dinner outfit (it was this weekend in Canada). We went to my aunt's house, which is GORGEOUS and CUTE and SO PERFECT. She got an iPhone, and I'm obsessed!
If anybody would like to buy a 16GB 2nd generation iPod Touch, pleeeease let me know! My baby is only leik, 2 months old (if that) and she's awesome, I am just looking at an iPhone. :)
My outfit right now is just my volleyball stuff, with sweatpants and a sweater on, because I've got volleyball right after driving to Toronto to drop Solene off at the airport. Not very exciting. It's hard to dress fun all the time when you do sports as much as I do.
This morning, for maybe the first time in 6 months, I straightened my hair. AS I WAS WALKING TO SCHOOL, IT STARTED TO RAIN. THE WORST PART IS IT DIDN'T EVEN RAIN ENOUGH TO MAKE MY HAIR CURLY, JUST ENOUGH SO THAT IT WASN'T REALLY STRAIGHT. Ehh, it's just one of those days.
OUTFIT: plaid shirt - razzle dazzle from winners, tee shirt - delia*s, skirt - h&m, tights - no name type brand thing, shoes - converse, bracelet - mexico, rings - mexico, necklaces - gifts.
